Are you ready for “sweater weather?” I am totally ready! And to be honest, I’m a bit anxious for this wonderful season we know as “autumn.” Well, if you read the title of this blog, let’s back up to the first word “faith.” Autumn is the perfect time to boost your faith in God with a personal commitment to increase your prayer time, read more of your Bible, and spend quality time with your Christian family and friends! The second word in the title of this blog is “fall.” What better way to enjoy a crisp fall day than a brisk walk outdoors basking in the fresh air, colorful leaves, and clear blue skies. It’s also a good time to snuggle up inside and start a new book. After many delays, I’m aiming to get my first fiction book available for purchase this fall. It’s a clean Christian romance with lots of suspense and action! I hope you’ll check it out! The last word in the title of this blog is, of course, “football.” Can we even have fall without football? Just kidding, but in my house football is a big part of enjoying the fall season! And, one last thing. You might want to take a look at the pictures below for some autumn-inspired decorating and actitivities! Until next time . . . Mary<\/p>\n\n\n\n
