Falling Into Fall

"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." -F. Scott Fitzgerald

Falling Into Fall
Sarah Carstensen

Fall is finally in the air! Well this is West Texas, so who knows what the weather will be like next week. Anyway, it is September and that makes it officially time to start enjoying everything fall has to offer.

The season of fall is my favorite season. To me, every aspect is beautiful. The colors of all the leaves changing and falling delicately on the lawns and driveways, only to be raked up in a large pile on the front lawn, just moments later.

The colors of harvest mix so well together. The talk of farmers getting their crops ready for harvest only stirs my heart with love for the area I have grown up in. The sight of tractors in the field fill my heart with thankfulness.

The crisp morning air fills my lungs with joy and puts an extra touch of rosiness on everyone’s cheeks. I am able to wipe the summer dust off my riding boots and pull out all my cute sweaters. I mean a huge perk about fall weather is to cute clothes we get to wear! Am I right? Scarfs, headband warmers and matching gloves you name it, I have it pulled out and ready to go!

The smell of pumpkin everything is in the air. Pumpkin spice cake, pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin spice Scentsy, etc. Hot chocolate gets thrown into the mix, along with blankets and fires on a brisk evening.

With all this time of changing out Patriotic/summer decor to fall decor, I am reminded of my Savior’s talent in artwork. His ability to paint a West Texas fall sunset never ceases to amaze me. The colors are picked so precisely designed for a perfect painting.

In this season of Thanksgiving, I am thankful for many, many things; but one thing is for certain. I am thankful for my King. The King of all Kings. The King who has blessed me daily, through the sights of fall and His artistic ability. Remember that in this season of fall. Look for the little details that our Father has made for us. Find joy in His artwork.

Happy Fall y’all!

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
