A Fall of Change??

The leaves are almost fully changed now, and I stop and ponder the fact that it is now almost the middle of November.  It has been a fall of not only changing colors, but hopefully changing perspectives.  Changing perspectives on how we see ourselves, our community and our world.  The recent occupy movements are encouraging us to think about how we see ourselves and our positions in society.  The recent gospel lessons found in our lectionary also have been challenging the ways in which we think about our relationships to our God, our faith and each other.  So with all of this change in the air, what is the outcome?  Are we going to see ourselves differently enough that it causes us to actually do something about this shift?  Where is the breaking point?  Like the tide of the river, are we going to reshape our landscape?  Only time will tell...
