Autumn shows its colors late here in East Texas. We’re on the threshold of November but trees are just beginning to turn. I was driving through the Smokey Mountains in early September and the leaves were already starting to change. Have you ever wondered what causes the reds and golds to appear? Well, in a word, it’s all about chlorophyll, or really the lack of it.

My father, a longtime pastor in Houston, was the greatest memorizer of scripture that I have ever known. He had committed the majority of the Bible to memory and would preach sermons, packed with verses, and never use notes. His nickname was “The Walking Bible.” One day, when I was a know-it-all teenager, I asked my dad what his secret was. I asked him what the “trick” was to memorizing scripture. He smiled and replied, “just spend time in The Word.”

Just a few weeks ago, Shelby County Texas was high and dry. We were in a drought. We were under a burn ban. The temps were in the triple digits and rain was a distant memory. How things have changed! We got three inches over the last few days, it's pouring as I write this, and the weatherman says there's lots more to come.

And so, naturally, I'm thinking about a man... named Noah! Here's a reprint of a clever top ten list. Enjoy.

On this day in 1872, Aaron Montgomery Ward sent out the first mail-order catalog. It was a single sheet of paper. Ten years later, his “Wish Book” had grown to 250 pages with 10,000 items that Americans could conveniently order from their homes. At the turn of the century, millions of catalogs were going out. A century later Montgomery Ward declared bankruptcy and closed its last store. But it still exists online. So, you can still order Ward’s merchandise . . . from the convenience of your home.
