AUTUMNAL EQUINOX
2
Corinthians, Chapter 7, Verse 15
And his heart goes out to you all
the more, as he remembers the obedience of all of you, when you received him
with FEAR and trembling.
We
know that if our fear gives way to a deep sense of peace and joy when we seek
to be reconciled to God; then it is the holy fear of God and we are on the
right path.
The
Masculine Spirit[1]
In
America we are gradually seeing the wholesale destruction of the masculine
spirit. We are so confused many of us don’t know which bathroom to use. Is this
just another attempt by Satan to kill the body as God created it?
Men
and women need to value themselves and value the beneficial characteristics of
masculinity and to reject the false images of being male. Men and women were
created to be different. They were created to be in partnership, neither one
dominating the other, each using their God-given gifts of gender for the
benefit of the other and for the redemption of the world.
The spirit of man is action oriented yet at times it is imperative that men to be fully men of God; must borrow from the female spirit the art of reflection. We must become aware of the wounds from our childhood that drive us toward destruction and trap us in unhealthy behavior as adults. We must reflect and learn from our mistakes, so we are not doomed to repeat them. As we reflect, we can see most men fall into one of four Archetypes—King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover.
Archetypes
are blueprints, primordial images that affect how we think, feel, and react to
life’s situations. A balanced man can be all four simultaneously directing his
energy to the problem at hand, but problems come when a man gets stuck and
becomes trapped in one archetype. Each type has positive and negative
characteristics of which a balanced man can tap to be a hero or a villain.
There
is no better example of perfect Manhood
then that of our Master and Lord Jesus Christ.
Fall begins in the Northern Hemisphere when the Sun is perpendicular to the equator. This day has equal hours of day and night. The first day of Fall is also called the Autumnal Equinox. In many areas it coincides with harvests. The first day of Fall happens between each year between September 22 and 24.

begins (Northern H.) Facts & Quotes

The Harvest Moon is the full moon which occurs closest to the
autumnal equinox.
·
The Earth takes 365.25 days to make one complete revolution
around the Sun. This results in the first day of Fall beginning 6 hours
later each year and moving a full day backwards on Leap Years.
·
During the fall, the leaves on many trees die and fall to the
ground. 500 years ago, expressions like fall of the leaf and fall of the year
were quite common in the English-speaking world. The term fall as the
name for this season comes from these early expressions.

Happiness at Work Week[3]
Happiness
is a critical factor for work, and work is a critical factor for happiness. In
one of those life-isn’t-fair
results, it turns out that the happy outperform the less happy. Happy people
work more hours each week –
and they work more in their free time, too. -Gretchen Rubin
The general opinion about
work is this: no one wants to do it. However, have you ever heard of a
week-long holiday that encourages happiness at work? International Week of
Happiness at Work is a holiday that’s
all about bringing happiness back into the workplace. If work is part of our
daily lives, then one of the best ways to live a happier life is through being
happy at work. Whether you work in a big corporation or at a small company, you
can find happiness. Check out what International Week of Happiness is all about
here! International Week of Happiness at Work was started by Maartje Wolff and
Fennande van der Meulen, two Dutch women who started the company Happy Office
in 2015. Happy Office offers a program that allows you to incorporate happiness
into the workplace so that you can have happier employees all around. Happy
Office incorporates studies made from professors at some of the top
universities throughout Europe and combines them with certified professionals
with certificates and degrees, so they can help every organization they meet
and help assess the problems, so each worker can do their job without losing
happiness in their lives. The holiday itself became an initiative towards
bringing people from all over the world together to be happier at the
workplace. Happy Office’s
main website for the holiday allows you to sign a manifesto to pledge towards
making the changes needed for people to have happier lives in the workplace. By
signing the manifesto, Happy Office hopes to help people be happier overall.
Happy Office believes that by transforming the workplace, people can be happier
in every aspect of their lives, including healthier relationships, exciting
homelife, and great life experiences.
How to Celebrate International
Week of Happiness at Work
Celebrate this holiday by signing
the petition on Happy Office’s
main website so you can make the pledge to be happier in the workplace. Once
you do, share the webpage with your friends and hashtag

friends know that they can easily make a difference in their workplace by being
happier.
