it's getting colder outside, but the colors are beautiful. every autumn i seem to be more and more amazed at the artistry of God. He paints a new picture every year, with a seemingly brighter, more vibrant palette of colors.

Sam Gutierrez came to visit yesterday, and we had a wonderful time. we made steak and talked about the places were God leads. it's always nice to see friends.

I always thought playing rugby would kill me, but I enjoyed it so much. thanks to the youth group, i have another favorite sport to play.
