So I'm riding home from school with my five-year-old son and we're listening to Christian talk radio. The guy on the radio says something about what it takes to "come to God". Noah thinks for a minute and says, "Or you could just die. That's one way to get to God." Master of the obvious, this child. LOL.

I'm getting in the spirit of autumn. My family doesn't celebrate Halloween, but other than that, we get as excited as the next person about the changing of the seasons. I love the crispness to the air, the color of the leaves, the scent of woodsmoke drifting on the gentle breeze... and the cold nights - perfect for sleeping!
