Getting Ready for Autumn Hello dear Sisters in Christ, Today I decorated my house for Autumn. I know it's not officially Autumn yet, but I look forward to this time of the year especially after long hot summers here in Southern Nevada.  I also wore autumn colors today. A Claret colored floral top and a long brown skirt. My planner - time to plan for September! I wanted to share a Picture of a cute doll my husband bought me earlier in the year- he saw it when shopping and said it looked like me! Haha so he bought it.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”  —Colossians 3:2–3 Thinking on Things Above: Not Mystical, But Positional In the Mid-Acts dispensational view, “thinking on things above” is not about mysticism or chasing signs and wonders—it’s about anchoring our minds in the positional truths revealed through Paul’s distinct apostleship. It’s about understanding who we are in Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery (Romans 16:25), and letting that truth shape our thoughts, decisions, and affections. “For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.”  —Philippians 3:20 We are not Israel.
