September has arrived along with The IN SEASON Lifestyle’s monthly Newsletter.
This blog welcomes the Fall Season with open arms and a joyful heart!

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SEPTEMBER?
You’ve probably already caught a few of our articles as the month turned the page right before this Newsletter was published.
COME AS A CHILD
We published this month’s first few lessons for COME AS A CHILD, titled AS NUMEROUS AS THE STARS IN THE SKY ( https://theinseasonlifestyle.com/as-numerous-as-the-stars-in-the-sky/ ) and BLESSINGS AND CURSES ( https://theinseasonlifestyle.com/blessings-and-curses/ ). Stay tuned on Thursdays for more of these on-going lesson posts. We are presently in Deuteronomy Chapter 11 and moving on page-by-page through our bibles.
The Israelites are about to cross over to the Promised Land.
If you want to be on the mailing list for ONLY the bible study lessons we post on Thursday; please let us know.
SEASONS
The whole IN SEASON Lifestyle Community is so busy and active this month; it is even hard to slow down to report our Newsletter. There is a lot going on.
As one of our SEASONS features; we will continue to study Elul meditations all the way through September and right up to The Feast of Trumpets.
There will be upcoming features on The Feast of Trumpets, The Days of Awe and The Day of Atonement. There will also be articles about preparing for The Feast of Tabernacles. Do you need any sukkah building tips? You can probably find them here in September.
Yes; we are going to be busy; but this is my favorite time of the year.
Many are getting their plans together for how they will spend Rosh Hashannah/The Feast of Trumpets this year. We will be celebrating in our home; but there are invitations to sent and a house to get ready for the crowd.
On top of the Holy Day feast and festivals; the season of Fall is in the air!
MONDAY NIGHT MENUS
I’m studying good new fall recipes; are you?
We would love to hear about your Feast of Trumpets recipes. Hopefully; we can share some of these fun days of preparation in a few articles.
PEN ART
Other things we want to accomplish in September will be two new book reviews for our PEN ART features.
Our Sukkah Series stories will be out again around the first of October. There are seven stories; one for every day of The Feast of Tabernacles. One new story has joined the older ones. The author will be putting these into book form for feast-goers by next year’s feast.
We have found two fabulous restaurants we want to share reviews on also.
PIECES OF THE PUZZLE/SOCIAL JUSTICE SERIES
We want to continue with more history for our social justice articles. This month we hope to include Native American Indian history and then discuss some more modern-day social justice issues of our current times. We will need to leave history and come current; otherwise this series will never have an ending place.
I’m hoping to wrap up the series on social justice and whether or not a Christian should participate in these movements this month. Get ready to find some original suggestions and ideas for how the world could be a better place; most all of it from the scriptures. In the process I hope to enlighten a few people about the true definition of “WOKE.” Is it good to be “WOKE”? We will discuss this. The concept is definitely trending and playing on the ignorance of our culture.
The last social justice article will answer our ten original questions and offer some helpful guidance for moving on into a better world as we teach correct social justice to our children. I have some movies to recommend and some topics that you might not have considered yet.
There is a Christian way to live out social justice and it definitely fits the 2 Timothy 4:2 motto of this blog.
PIECES OF THE PUZZLE/RETURN TO AMERICA SERIES
In August we posted the first article of a new series we are calling RETURN TO AMERICA. If you enjoyed this article you will be glad to know there will be many more such articles; each reminding the world of who America is and how we can return to that way of life. Here is a good reminder of American concepts, traditions, documents and dreams.
