It was really special to be home for a short day and have dinner with my family. It’s nothing like having your own family around your birthday time. It’s authentic and it feels so good.

The talk at the table was about the Fall foliage and how it is different this year and they have not lost their leaves yet, and the colors are muted. But when I drove through the mountains, those colors were vibrant.

People like to look for authentic seasons. I think this eighty degrees is very strange for october. It looks like fall, but it doesn’t feel like fall.

The books at the booksale could have keep me busy shopping for days. I had just a short time and found a few things. Mostly I just enjoyed looking. I did not pick up any of these assorted books about Jesus (in the photo)- but got some Bibles, Red Letter Bibles. That’s where Jesus’s words are highlighted. And I thought to myself it’s wonderful to write about Jesus, I certainly do, however I want to read DIRECTLY from Jesus… Somebody else’s interpretation may not be authentic to me. We need to read and know TRUTH.

Authentic… That’s the best…

Our PERSPECTIVE… it changes like the fall foliage, about how you envision where you are from, and where you see yourself in time. But Jesus? That’s an authentic relationship to give us HIS perspective.

Authentic…
Blessed…
TRUTH…
Amen
