I’m so ready for fall, I can taste it.

First, another book is due September 2nd and I’m racing to finish. It’s been a difficult one to write. Mostly because it’s been inside me for a long time and those are always hardest to get onto the page. But also because we’ve recently moved. Still in Nashville, just a different house. It’s been a long and frustrating process—is moving ever fun, though, LOL—but we’re gradually getting settled and this house is feeling more and more like home.

Second, I’m ready for fall because it’s always a time for new Bible studies. Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) is studying the book of Revelation, and I’m especially eager to dive into this study for the second time around. I always gain new insights when studying “familiar” Scriptures. But I’m also pumped because Joe will be attending a men’s session. His first BSF! So we’ll be studying Revelation together. Gotta love that.

Another Bible study I’m over the moon about is…

Kristi McLelland’s LUKE IN THE LAND video series is like walking the Land yourself. She takes you to Bethlehem, the Temple Mount, to the Sea of Galilee, and more, all while diving deep into the Word and taking a closer look at what Jesus did and said, all through a Middle Eastern Lens. Understanding context changes everything. Brings it into clearer focus.

I had the blessing of traveling to Israel with Kristi in 2019, and viewing this video series is like walking the land again. I hope you’ll check it out. Maybe even share it with a friend or your spouse this fall. You’ll be blessed, I promise.

Lastly, fall is my favorite season. The changing of the leaves, cooler temperatures, the fall-ish recipes. And with the changing of the seasons I’m always reminded that Jesus never changes. He is the same today, yesterday, and tomorrow. And in him, and him alone, we have the hope of eternal life. As Peter wrote…

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation,  and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. (I Peter 1:3-4)

So as we face this world of uncertainty—stock markets plunging, rumors of war, political infighting, a presidential election year—let us hold fast to that truth and to our priceless inheritance in Christ. No matter the season.

Thanks as always for sharing and much love from Nashville, friends,

Tammy
