Seasons Change


The picture on the left was taken in the Spring during our adventures in Florida. Seems like centuries ago. Of course, the seasons have changed again. Yesterday I had the first frost of the season on my car windshield. The kids claim that it snowed for a few minutes at a friend's house in Manchester. The fall fog is back. Yes, indeed, seasons are changing again.

It is evident that political seasons are changing again too. Though it is a very hard season of change to read. The economy has turned bitter cold, the partisan political fever is rising mercilessly, and families are wondering whether the pending storms will wash away any hope for real change in national, state, or local politics.

The hurricane last week on Wall Street is, hopefully, behind us. But there are still storms on the horizon. Perhaps today, more than ever, we need to remember the flowers of last spring and remain hopeful that the flowers will bloom again.
