A Word from RTCA Executive Director Chaplain Craig Wiley
God's Beautiful Creation
 Fall is my favorite time of the year. I grew up in Michigan where the outdoor fall colors are spectacular. I enjoy the crisp cool morning breezes of fall and the bright sunny October Saturdays to enjoy my favorite college football team. Horses love the cool fall weather too. You can see a difference in their step. I enjoy watching my own horses jump and shake and let loose in the open field as their mane and tail lift high as they breeze by. The scripture says, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands" Psalms 19:1. Yes, the fall skies have bright full moons and clear starry nights. God impresses us every day by his creation, and we have another opportunity to grow closer to him, because he reaches out to us in such a marvelous way. Take the time to be still before the Lord and receive him into your heart and mind and "the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."Philippians 4:7 Chaplain Craig Wiley
