Though Monday, September 22nd was officially the first day of Autumn, the leaves had already begun to fall. It appears that both the dry weather and the seasonal change have contributed to the leaf activity. I’ve also noticed unripe pecans on the ground among the dry leaves. Some of this is due to the wind and some from the squirrels. The possibilities are endless when it comes to analyzing what goes on in nature. I’m just Thankful for the season. #JesusIsTheReason4EverySeason

Reflections:
*The Angie Youth Sports Association is providing a great service to the Youth of our communities. I attended a Pee Wee Football game on Saturday (9/20/25) and enjoyed all 4 age-leveled games. These young boys are being taught more than the game of football. The group of men who are coaching are instilling the concept of teamwork that includes listening to & following instructions, respect for others and good sportsmanship…win or lose. I also observed ladies guiding young girls through cheerleading routines that promote unity and confidence. It was a good weather day for Pee Wee Football and a wonderful reminder for me of how important it is to “Show-Up” for our Youth. Many thanks to all that work with our Youth and God Bless You All.
