This month I have talked about the senses on my webpage and the experiences I&#8217;ve had with color this past few weeks have put me in a place of peace and holiness. With so much chaos in the world and in our country I welcome the joy and comfort these fall colors bring. I find myself understanding the word &#8220;breathtaking&#8221;. At times my breath is taken away in a simple gasp as I am amazed at the absolute splendor of these glimpses of God&#8217;s creative spirit. As the wind blows and the sun dances on the leaves the colors change and what I see leaves me in awe. It soothes my soul and for a while I can bathe in the beauty surrounding me and forget the pain and sorrow and ugliness that beat me down. I am inspired, I feel renewed, I feel creative and nourished. Perhaps it is the enjoyment of such beauty that strengthens us to do our part in the work of making the world a better place. I am grateful for this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This fall colors in the American Midwest have been especially beautiful this year.
