Tim:
In the grey skies of early Fall when the world can't seem to make up its mind about whether to be warm or cold, it can be a struggle to see the beauty of the world that surrounds us. This beautiful creation that is in transition: Birds are migrating to warmer winter homes (or soon will be), some mammals are perparing for the long cold winter's hibernation, and we too are in transition...
On the Youth Ministry front we have begun to get back into our routines... Our 4th weekend since our kick-off is quickly approaching and we have only begun to scratch the surface. WE have only began to scratch the surface of fun activities that await us, of service and learning opportunities that are ahead of us...
With nature preparing itself for winter (and soon our trees will be preparing themselves as well) We are preparing for winter and beyond... Just a quick side note: If you read this blog on a regular basis you will probably get insider information on events that are being planned down the road. So as we prepare for our Youth Ministry seasons we look forward to events such as Lazer tag, Christmas Caroling, Workcamp, and much much more...
But in transitional times such as Fall, we cannot look forward so much to Winter or backwards so much to Summer that we deny the beauty in the present... The world is beautiful right now!
I encourage you to take a moment to admire this beauty, and Thank God for the many blessings we have been given with this wonderful world.

You Rock.
can we do a hay ride? we did that like... 4 years ago or something, and it was really fun. we drove way out to somewhere south or west or somewhere (arent i helpful) and went on a hay ride with a bunch of other youth groups. it was late at night, really cold, and really fun.
