There's something about Fall!

Don't you just love Fall!!??  The colors, the sounds, the cool breeze.  I could go on and on.  Strangely enough, Fall is a time of renewal for me.  Maybe it has something to do with school starting.  Maybe it's just because I like to wear sweaters.  Whatever the reason,it's rejuvenating!

As I learn to adjust with Beth away at school, there is a longing in my heart.  A longing to learn.  I have no idea what or where, but I'm ready to learn something new.  I don't mean the learning takes place by reading a book.  That's great stuff, but I'm talking about focused learning.  Taking classes.  Walking across campus with my backpack. I'm talking about an adventure!

I firmly believe that the day we stop learning is the day that we start dying.  There is so much to learn and so many choices.  I think that's always been my problem.  I struggle when I'm presented with too many choices.  It excites me, but it overwhelms me.

Maybe I'll learn how to take beautiful photos, or learn about various forms of art.  Maybe I'll learn about Theatre or maybe how to write a book.  Maybe I'll explore the world of poetry or architecture.  The possibilities are endless!

We are all beautifully and wonderfully made by the Creator of the Universe.  Isn't it incredible that God has blessed us to feel and express our selves so passionately.  The world is full of so many beautiful colors, so much beautiful music, and wonders beyond our wildest imagination.  They are just waiting to be discovered. God is waiting to share his Masterpiece with all he has created.
