Dear FPCLA,
I noticed that during the season change from summer to fall, that my body is craving heavier foods. I feel like a squirrel saving up for the winter. 😛 It makes me realize that we are a part of this earth and we are being affected as the seasons change. I hope that we can be aware of our own changes just as the seasons change.

Sermon: Love Who You Are
Scripture: Mark 12:28-34 The Message Bible
28 One of the religion scholars came up. Hearing the lively exchanges of question and answer and seeing how sharp Jesus was in his answers, he put in his question: “Which is most important of all the commandments?”
29-31 Jesus said, “The first in importance is, ‘Listen, Israel: The Lord your God is one; so love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy.’ And here is the second: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ There is no other commandment that ranks with these.”
32-33 The religion scholar said, “A wonderful answer, Teacher! So clear-cut and accurate—that God is one and there is no other. And loving him with all passion and intelligence and energy, and loving others as well as you love yourself. Why, that’s better than all offerings and sacrifices put together!”
34 When Jesus realized how insightful he was, he said, “You’re almost there, right on the border of God’s kingdom.”
After that, no one else dared ask a question
