// ]]>An Autumn Devotion The green leaves of summer burst into a cacophony of color across the Appalachian horizon of my home town in western Pennsylvania. The chill mornings of fall with near frost on the car were met with the sometimes joyous, sometimes sullen sounds of children trekking off to school. These were simply signs of a changing season to adults, but to us kids they were a sure indicator that it was time to collect “buckeyes”. Now, to some of you, this may be a foreign term to you.
