We had a full moon earlier this week - did you see it? It wasn’t one of your regular, everyday, run-of-the-mill full moons either. It was a Harvest moon and a Super moon. A Super moon occurs when the moon and the earth are at their closest distance. It makes the moon appear to be up to 15% larger and 30% brighter. The Harvest moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox, the first day of fall. It’s a big week in the night sky. Check it out!

Did you know that you can take a picture of something with your smart phone - a plant, a flower, an animal, an object, anything - and then push a little button and your phone will tell you what it’s called and some facts about it? You probably already knew that, but I just learned about it last week. As far as modern technology goes, I’m usually way behind the learning curve. But I know it now, and I’ve been snapping photos to beat the band.

Trinity Church, in lower Manhattan, was built in 1846. And for the next 25 years, it was the tallest building in America. In 1973, it was dwarfed by two new buildings, erected nearby. The twin towers of the World Trade Center had become America’s tallest skyscrapers. On the morning of September 11, 2001, the church sat, literally, in the shadow of those towers. And after they came down, and after the dust had settled, New Yorkers were amazed to see Trinity Church still standing. It was, literally, a miracle.

The crisp morning air. The cool evening breeze. The leaves changing color and falling from the trees. October is here and Autumn has begun. The season so nice, they named it twice!

Every time the seasons change, we’re reminded of God’s creation, of God’s control, of God’s plan. Here are some more reminders.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 - To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.

I made a new friend last week. He lives in a beautiful part of Washington D.C. called Embassy Row. The neighborhood got that name because it’s where many ambassadors from around the world have their homes. It’s also the location of a very special church - the National Cathedral.
