Fall Thoughts

Here are a couple thoughts I jotted down that aren’t quite sufficient for their own individual blog posts. If you’re the type of person who likes Twitter, pretend each of these is a tweet.
- Here in Michigan, it is well info the fall season. We notice it mostly with the leaves changing, but also migrations. Specifically, I notice the migration of boxes of clothes. My wife has boxes that make their way from the basement up to our room, where they shed their winter clothes and gain their summer clothes instead. It’s backwards from how animals work, but such is the nature of the boxes of winter/summer clothes.
And animals migrate themselves, but the boxes are immobile so I have to carry them for their migration. - Here in Michigan, the weather has turned cool. It is the weather I like, in that I get to wear long-sleeve shirts but keep wearing shorts. Our one teenage son wears that style all year long – a hoodie and shorts. And now that it is appropriate for the weather, that reminds me of the old saying that even a stopped clock is right twice a day. In the same way, a teenage boy’s outfit is right twice a year: a hoodie and shorts are good to wear in the fall and the spring.
Even the stork in the sky Knows her seasons; And the turtledove, the swallow, and the crane Keep to the time of their migration; But My people do not know The judgment of the Lord.
