  • 233. S02E233 - Changing seasons

    07:52||Season 2, Ep. 233
    Summer is fading away and fall in starting soon. The sun is rising later and setting earlier, leaves are browning and falling, and there's some rain. That's got me thinking about how seasonal changes influence our behaviour and how we can take notice of when the seasons are changing in our lives, especially when it's not so marked.Submit a question or nominate yourself to be featured on the podcast: https://bit.ly/ACOTListenerFormIntro Music: Dream Big, Travel Far - Avocado JunkieOutro Music: Ignorance is Bliss - Liberty

Or traffic and being late to an event lead to a much needed conversation with a friend you haven't seen in a while. Are these mere coincidences or is God in it?
