…”Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever, for wisdom and

power belong to Him. And it is He who changes the times and the

epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to

wise men and knowledge to men of understanding. It is He who

reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the

darkness, and the light dwells with Him. To Thee, O God of my

fathers, I give thanks and praise…” Daniel 2:20-23

I believe autumn is my favorite season of the year. God takes out His painter’s palette and

creates His beautiful masterpieces that no man could even imagine of designing. Last year in

early October we took a trip to New Mexico and Colorado and saw firsthand some of God’s

masterpieces. What a breathtaking and beautiful sight! How Majestic is our God!!
