When I was small my Grandma Armstrong would head out for the woods. No one seemed to be interested in what she was doing but she was out hunting plants. She would return with roots and such and make medicines out of them. She knew what she was doing I guess because along with her home remedies she knew what to do for a sick child and for that matter anyone who was sick. The stuff seemed to work. At least folks said it did. I know my grandma loved me better than anyone (so I supposed) but sometimes I hated to go to Lula because once the hugging was over (or was that my physical she was doing?) she seemed to sense something was wrong with me. And I don’t care to hear you say, “Well we all knew that.”

Good morning to you. Isn’t this season great? I wish it would stay fall for about two months. God sure created some pretty scenery for us to enjoy. Did you ever wonder where the expression “the signs of the times,” came from? It came from Jesus. And His warning to the religious leaders of His day is just as relevant today as it was back then. The future is unfolding all around us. The question is, are we wise enough and discerning enough to see the signs of the times? If sailors and farmers adjusted their plans based on the weather, how much more should we incorporate the signs of the times into our lives? The religious leaders weren’t the only ones that asked Jesus for a sign. The disciples asked Jesus what sign they should look for indicating His return and the end of the age. His answer contained many signs and clues but today let’s focus on the sign of the days of Noah.
