Senior Moments

The autumn sky in the Glade. October 19, 2008.

I lived in the mountains of western North Carolina for thirteen years, during which time I taught math and computer science at Montreat-Anderson College (as it was then known).

The mountains were absolutely beautiful in any season, but the sky was also pretty spectacular, especially in the spring and autumn.  The sky would be the clearest, cleanest blue you could imagine.  And since we were in the Tar Heel State everyone insisted that the sky was Carolina Blue.  As a matter of fact the natives had a saying, “If God is not a Tar Heel, why is the sky Carolina Blue?”

I’ll admit that I don’t know the answer to theological questions like that, but I do know that the sky here in Tennessee is also a beautiful blue.  Maybe instead of “Carolina Blue” the sky is “God’s Blue”!
