Greetings Dear Reader,
Twenty-one years ago the summer ended with my beloved Braves
winning and winning. They took the world
series and dominated the division for the next fourteen seasons. This year, with only a couple of weeks left
in the season they are at the other end of the race. Thanks to the Twins they are not the worst
team in baseball but only by a narrow margin.
The baseball season, however, is apocalyptic. The Chicago Cubs are the best team in
baseball. They have already clenched
their division and may finish the regular season with the best record in the
game.
This could be the year that the Cubs take it all. This makes me happy for my friends who are
Cubs fans. It has been a long dry time
for them. Once the Braves are out of it
I really have little interest in who wins as long as it is not the
Yankees.
By the time the fate of the Cubs is decided the air will be
chill and the trees almost barren of leaves.
If there is a game seven of the World Series it will be played on November
2nd. Most thoughts will have
turned to post Halloween candy sales and where to find the best turkey. Depending on the weather a game could even be
snowed out.
Time will flow and the world will move on to Christmas and
the New Year. As I enjoy the movement
of the season I will enjoy the changes around me. My thoughts will mostly be on the unfolding
of Advent by then. Still the fall
classis is one of the beacons of hope I see through the year.
As winter descends from the north a portions of my mind will
turn to Spring. I will await the heralds
of new life and new chances found in the new leaves, warming air, and opening
day. As the summer flies away I do not
wish away the Autumn and Winter but I always move through them with the hope of
new life and new opportunity.
It is the way of following Christ. There is always hope. There is always another chance. Death gets turned back to life. The hope of the resurrection is renewed. The world moves in series in the unfolding
spiral that is life. It is always in the
following that joy is found.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
