I have mixed emotions about Fall. One side of me loves it. There is a freshness about the cooler mornings. Deer hunting season is cranking up, football season is going strong. People in general, seem to be ready for jumping back into things after a couple of months in the summer mindset. It has always been one of our premier growth times as a church.
On the other hand, Fall tells me that Winter is not far behind. I have a confession to make. When it comes to dealing with cold weather I am a Sissy! I spent nearly all of my life living in South Florida. My blood is thin. When it gets below 60 degrees I don't like it. I don't care what anyone says, South Carolina gets pretty doggone cold. I admire people from Minnesota or Iowa or Maine. They are my heroes. How they can function in below freezing temperatures for months on end, I can't figure out. They have to be tough.
When God called me to ministry, I said "God, I'll follow you anywhere---but please keep me south of the Mason-Dixon line!"
