Falling . . .

Autumn feels more like the new year to me than January. The start of the school year, most churches are gearing up their outreach and educational programs, there is change all around. Seems like the crisp air and turning leaves give us all the permission to try something different - to let our own true colors shine through. As our thoughts turn toward getting serious about classes, or projects, toward preparing for holidays with those we love, towards curling up with a bowl of soup or a cup of tea, towards a season that feels like it is time to re-evaluate, look inward and move forward - the leaves give me hope that whatever it is this season brings it will be awash in color. I couldn't resist taking these pictures around campus this week. Happy Fall y'all!
