If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Overheard at the Store
I overheard a conversation between a mom and her young son, the other day.
"So how was your first day of school?"
"I met new kids, and we had a lot of fun!"
"Do you remember that you didn't want to go in? You were so upset! But then you went in, and it wasn't so bad, was it?"
"Yeah, it was great! So, uhh, what are we going to do tomorrow?"
"You go back for your second day."
There was a long silence ...
"But Mom, I already went."

Oh, Bother!
We've just swum through the wettest July on record, and now the rainfall for August has set a new record. And it's only the 19th of the month. There are several days of rain or rain showers in the next week, if AccuHunch can be believed. (They've been fairly accurate lately, but one mustn't get one's hopes up, eh?)
Meanwhile, leaves are turning on the trees. Hmm, that sounds rather sinister, so let's try again, shall we?
Ahem: the leaves on the trees are turning yellow, and they're starting to fall already. The winds have been blustery, too.
Winnie the Pooh and friends would feel right at home.
