Lord God, thank You for Your magnificent colors! Lord God, as the seasons change help us to reflect that You are in control and that You never change. Thank You and praise You Lord that You neither slumber nor sleep!

Lord God, thank You that as You know each leaf on the tree, each sparrow in the sky, You know each of our needs. Lord God, fill this reader with Your truth and wisdom. Cause this reader to know You more deeply. Lord God, thank You for this reader. In Jesus’s I pray. Amen.

Blue Collar Theologian

My name is Mandy Sweigart-Quinn, I live in Lancaster, PA and I am a “Blue Collar Theologian.” I love Jesus! I am passionate about His Word (The Holy Bible)! I come alive when I can encourage others in their walk with Jesus (whether by writing or speaking). As a “Blue Collar Theologian” it is my aim to live/practice/work out my Christian hope with sincerity, authenticity and genuineness. As a “Blue Collar Theologian,” I strive to meet people right where they are (“Incarnational Theology”). I graduated in May 2019 from Capital Seminary and Graduate School with a Master's in Biblical Studies. I am a passionate, excited and enthusiastic person! I love flowers, sports and sunsets. Since January 2, 2018 I have had the privilege of being married to Nathan.

  2. The Lord is in control and He never changes – Amen to that. What stunning colours and pics. It is always quite something to see God’s handiwork, it always draws my heart towards awe and worship.
    Blessings and love dear sister.

      1. This may sound awful, but I have not taken any pictures. I do go out for a walk everyday with my dog out in nature but I always forget to click pics 🤷🏻‍♀️ as I always just soak in being out in the beauty of it all that a picture is usually the last thing on my mind. But if I do end up remembering and taking pics then will surely share 😊🤗

  3. You captured nice colors Mandy. The fall season has clearer air it seems as it gets crispy on the temps. Fall colors remind me of how God is always at work in us to will and to do his good will. My translation…To make a splash of wow colors before a watching world.

      1. Never the pain. And I know from my days at school that the last thing you want to answer is, How’s studying going? lol As for reading, I’m always behind. Vos I know. Vos on Genesis no. Can you send what you distill over by internet osmosis? ❤️🙂

      5. Same, sister. I love the way our Lord has brought us in touch with one another. He loves us so! Thank you, Father, for our family, already a glimpse of the kingdom and our King.

  7. I am just in awe of sunsets, the infinite variety of the colors and patterns in the sky. My camera (phone) can’t always capture them perfectly, but I find myself taking pictures of sunsets all summer. Thanks for sharing these. -and the matching rose! They’re beautiful

    2. Also, I wanted to ask you, will it bother you if I were to blog on the Phillies? I know sports can be divisive and that is absolutely NOT my intention. I know that you and Michael are both baseball fans and I do not want to cause any hard feelings, I was just looking to share a bit about myself with y’all.

      1. Sorry for the delay in my reply on this. I was pushing so hard at work yesterday that I didn’t take any breaks.
        Thanks for asking and you go right ahead and cheer up Bryce and the Phillies! I’m rooting for the Phillies against the Astros.

    1. Thank you, Michael!!! Are you watching the World Series at all? I wanted to ask, if I posted on the Phillies, would that upset you? I have not done so because I do not want it to cause any hard feelings, I know sports can be divisive and my intention is just to share a part of myself, not brag or anything like that. Again, if it will be a bother to you please let me know and I will continue to stay quiet!

  18. “Lord God, as the seasons change help us to reflect that You are in control and that You never change.” Your photos are spectacular!
    But this line has such a full life meaning. One thing I remember from science, the leaves turn robust and beautiful as they die.
    Thank God, He prepares us for every season in life. May our lives in Him become ever robust and beautiful as our hearts await our Bridegroom and King.
    Thinking of you Mandy….with love ❤

    1. Thank You, Lisa! I have wanted to send you a text so many times but I am afraid that I will bother you! I am in your corner sister, I pray you know that! I appreciate your wisdom, insight and discernment more than you will ever know! I know this sounds cliche, but it is something that brings me much comfort, spring always follows every wintry season but literally and figuratively. I am so thankful that God does indeed prepare us for every season in life. I am thankful that God gives us family (physical and spiritual) in each season of our lives as well. Lots of love, hugs and blessings!!!!!

    1. I think of you and your peeps all the time! My mom was in town for the past week and in her many years on earth she has never seen Fall this beautiful! My dad also said the same thing yesterday as well. I am glad you have made it back safely and I look forward to hearing stories!
