My University of Phoenix correspondence course in meteorology is going really well! This past week we studied all the types of clouds.  You know ..... cumulus (heap), stratus (layer), cirrus (curl of hair) and nimbus (rain).   Yep, I'm sure learning a lot!  And one of these days, I'm gonna be a great weatherman just like Dave Murray!

The autumn weather pattern will be settling into the local area this weekend .....

Today: Abundant sunshine. High 74F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight: Mainly clear skies. Low 46F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

Tomorrow: Partly cloudy skies. High around 65F. Winds N at 10 to 20 mph.

Tomorrow night: Clear skies. Low 37F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph.

This will be a great first weekend for the Hermann Oktoberfest!  Get out there and enjoy the wineries, Tin Mill Brewery, the music and the food!

It's Friday, October 1.  It's the first day of Oktoberfest in Hermann, and it's also "John Denver Friday"

On April 24, 1971, John Denver sang "The Strangest Dream" at a peace march in Washington, DC. The anti-war march was to protest the Vietnam War. The song, written by Ed McCurdy, was one of the anthems of the anti-war era.

Here then is John Denver singing "The Strangest Dream" .....

Bible Verse Of The Day - Friday, 10/1/2010

The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them: “‘ “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.”‘  ~ Numbers 6:22-26

This famous blessing is still used today in many churches and synagogues. Notice that this blessing does not come from Moses, but from Lord. And what does God want His people to know? That God wants to bless us and keep us. That he wants us to know Him so that we will understand that He is gracious and filled with peace. Is this your view of God? If not, then take the time to think about this blessing then pray this over your life and your household today!
