I’ve been musing this morning on the fickleness of fame. There have always been famous people who are deemed “unworthy” of their notoriety. People who are infamous because of evil deeds, or those who become well known through some odd trick of celebrity (any member of the Kardashian family). But, all in all, we still assume that if you have enough talent, history is bound to reward you with fame. History, however, tells us that this is often a false assumption.

I love lists. I love making lists. To-do lists, shopping lists, top-ten lists. Lists of favorite movies, lists of favorite songs, lists of favorite lists! (OK, sometimes it gets a little out-of-hand). Well, we’re just three weeks away from Thanksgiving, so it’s a perfect time to list the things we’re thankful for. Here, off the top of my head, is a list of some of my favorite things... about Autumn.

This morning we focus on a famous and familiar passage from the Word of God - Matthew 11:28-30. Here it is from the King James Version.
“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

A holiday like Halloween isn’t an easy focus for a daily column on spiritual matters, so I’ll focus instead on the holiday that comes tomorrow - All Saints Day. I grew up Baptist and we never acknowledged that special day, but most denominations do, and millions of Christians do. It’s a day to acknowledge those who’ve gone before us, and the bond we share with them.

It’s fast approaching! It’s almost here again! The Time Change Weekend!!! This is the good one - we get back that hour of sleep we lost in the spring. So... get ready to “fall back.”

Autumn mornings are a blessing. Cool and crisp. Maybe a bit foggy. Perhaps a glimpse of early frost. I’ve been watching the sunrise the last few days from my front porch swing. Mornings in the fall. A blessing.
