Observations & experiences…

The temperature was 50 degrees this morning.

The unusual mid-July “chill” is refreshing. A neighbor out walking spoke his approval. The mail person was surely appreciative. The windows in my car were rolled down and I dropped a hand into the wind as I drove.

The humidity is low. The sky is a bright blue. Someone asked, “Is this a record?”

We are often met with pleasant surprises and we are challenged to pay attention. The true joy in life is gathering in these observations and experiences and appreciating them.

Have you noticed the flowers around the front sign, placed there from the flowers sold at cost to the youth for a fundraiser, by Bourbon County’s own Color Point?

There is the field of sunflowers on the Caldwell farm, the sudden and intense summer showers and youth returning from camp with tears of joy in their eyes.

There are the 100 or so people who looked for Gerry McMillen’s niece’s dog after an accident and found him near Cullman, Alabama.

There is a new Methodist minister in town that I look forward to meeting.

Members of Operation Food Basket are rising to the challenges which are facing us and volunteering to do a number of tasks.

There is a member of our church running for Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky.

Did you catch the lightening bugs in late June and early July?

Have you noticed the refreshing breeze created by the wind of the Holy Spirit blowing through your life?

Moving to the deeper places,
