I must Quote Rev. Kirk Erwin, Pastor of the Paris Presbyterian Church:

"The greatest artist is not Michelangelo or Van Gogh. It's the ONE who painted the scene that is all around you. To HIM be praises and glory forever. Even though it was short lived, the fall colors were truly magnificent."

For Your Soul:

NEVER GIVE UP ON THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE. LOVE IS INCREDIBLY POWERFUL. PRAYER:

May there be peace within you today.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing that you are a child of God.
Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, and to bask in the sun.
It is there for each and every one of you.

Diane's Notes:

YOU WANTED A SIGN?
Let's meet at my house Sunday before the game.
Loved the wedding. Invite me to the marriage.
Will the road you're on get you to my place?
That "Love thy neighbor" thing -- I MEANT it.
Do you have any idea where you're going?
Need a marriage Counselor? I'm available.
Follow Me.
Keep using my name in vain, I'll make rush hour longer.
I don't question your existence.
What part of "Thou shalt not" didn't you understand?
I LOVE YOU …… I LOVE YOU …… I LOVE YOU.
We need to talk.
Don't make me come down ther.
GOD
