Autumn in Chattanooga

Can I drive you to Chattanooga
Where the city in October looks like fire
Changing lanes on this restless highway
Between this living and desire




These lyrics are from Sandra McCracken's new album Gravity Love. Every time I hop in the car I turn up that song and marvel at the autumnal beauty this year. The leaves on the trees have been especially vibrant hues of yellow, orange, and red. Now that the colors have reached their peak, the mountains really do appear to be on fire. In a matter of days it will be over, but for now I soak in the beauty and think about the creativity of the creator. He must love all these colors he chose to splash our city this time of year. It is all so majestic and grandeur. And to think that He loves me even more.
