Fall...yeah..my favorite!

This has been a pretty crazy year if you're paying attention to our local weather. We had a very wet spring, a week or maybe two of summer, a week of fall, and now we're already experiencing low 30's degree nights in mid-October. Where have all the global warming zealots gone?? I remember a birthday {Oct. 8th in case you missed it} when I was young, where we had snow flurries. Crazy, huh? The late summer/fall season has bought about plenty of rain as well. So much so, that the farmers still have lots of crops still in the fields. I don't mind hunting over a bean field, but standing corn is another issue.
I don't know about you, but my thoughts are this; our seasons year-to-year are cyclical. Yeah, maybe in the last 500 years we've had a shift of temps somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.7 degrees. Can we blame the cows/pigs/horses/sheep for passing to much gas? That's ridiculous. I think man is inherently bad for the environement. But, I also believe that God pretty much has this thing under control. He made the earth, the sun, the moon, he brushed the stars across the sky like an oil painter working on his canvas. He created all the animals and yes, he created you and I. So, if he's really that good at making these things, I think I'll trust Him in making them last for us until He's ready to be done with them. That's the view from my stand!
