THE FALL SEASON HAS ARRIVED

Today our news programs are reminding us that it is time for snow tires to be placed on all cars in B.C. or else place chains in our trunks when using B.C. highways. Many businesses had to make changes or delays in their plans for this weekend when a sudden thunderstorm moved in early Saturday morning at 1:30 AM and some stores closed for part of the day. That gave us all some extra time for reflection. A Bible verse to be renewed this and every season can be found in the book of Psalms 133, "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for people to dwell together in unity. It is as the dew from heaven," spoken of in King Solomon's song. If we prefer New Testament words we can go to Romans 13:8, "Owe no man anything but to love one another. For love is the fulfillment of the law." The weather created extra excitement very early Saturday morning at 1:30 AM. I was sitting typing at the keyboard when I noticed it seemed kind of stuffy and went to open the window. Just at that moment a rattle of hail pounded the window and the double sliding exit doors. My plan had included going to M.C. College for getting a hair trim. Many businesses were closed that day. My phone rang at 9 AM. "This is Stephanie calling" a pleasant but unfamiliar voice said. "We would like to change your hair appointment to next Tuesday. Stephanie is one of the students attending at the M.C. College. It was the same name as my lovely grand daughter in law. There is a dramatic change in weather but still no overnight frost in Vernon.
