I am a fall fan.
Not the Fall from the biblical sense…but the season of fall.
Cinnamon is one of my favorite flavors, and it simply tastes and smells better in the fall.
I will usually give in and have one PSL. Only one. I don’t really do all the fancy coffee stuff, but one totally artificially flavored “pumpkin” coffee somehow feels appropriate.
I have apparently mentioned this enough over the years that this year multiple people personally messaged me to let me know the PSL was back.
I fear I have misled everyone.
I don’t love PSLs. I love fall.
I love cooler weather, football nearly every day, bonfires in the backyard…I really love fall.
But here is the problem…those people messaged me about the PSL coming back weeks ago. It was still the height of summer. Hot. People on vacation. Mid-August.
Definitely not fall.

Yesterday when Sarah and I drove into church, it was one of those beautiful, clear, though hot and muggy, summer mornings. I have a habit each week of keeping an eye on the Sunday morning weather because, well, we have a unique worship location. Everything looked great. Another clear Sunday.
During the first service, Sarah’s phone started ringing. It was our boys, who were biking to church and had gotten caught in a rainstorm.
A rainstorm? There was literally nothing on the radar. That can’t be right.
Then, when I walked out of the 8:30 service, I could feel the temperature dropping. Suddenly there were clouds gathering in the distance.
But still, nothing on the radar. Must just be some weird little popup storm.

Years ago, we bought one of those cheap inflatable pools for our backyard. It fit perfectly in this big circular space we had. Honestly, it was a great way to survive the Florida summer heat.
Then last year, when we were selling our house, we put it away. Turns out, most people looking to buy a nice house aren’t hoping it comes with a cheap inflatable pool in the backyard. Apparently, that’s considered an “eyesore.” This is why I’m not a realtor.
So it sat in the garage for almost two years.
