Welcome to Friday.  The end of a heavy week.  A difficult week…particularly for our country (not me personally).  I had in mind a light-hearted, “let’s talk about fall” type post for today, but my heart was just not into getting it together.  This is a troubled world we live in.  Our country – as well as our homes, our churches, etc. – need much prayer.  I don’t think I will post today but wanted to encourage each of us to stop and pray today.  And throughout the weekend.  Rehearse some of God’s promises as well as His attributes.  I pray, over the weekend, we can all find some assurance, some courage, some peace as well as some resolution for what we believe.  And, please, come back on Monday.  I will be back to a more regular post.  Blessings to each of you, my friends.
