Greetings,
I'm not a meteorologist, but I'm enjoying these early mornings and evenings. Aren't you?
Life can be like the seasons of the year. And often times it's not the season itself, but the transition into the season that can be hard for people. We're wired for stability and so when things change we can have a knee jerk reaction to change and that's what's so frustrating.
So, when things change here at St.Ann for one reason or another, I think the best thing to do is be patient and before you know it, you're loving the new season and growing into it.
On another note, let's keep our country in prayer as we go through a season of grief, as we remember the victims and their families of the 911 Terrorist attack and the recent killing of Charlie Kirk. Violence with one person or 2,977 is never an answer. May they all rest in peace.
See what else is coming up.
