All morning the neighbor's pickup was sitting in our hay field. This is the time of year for turkey hunters to be stealthily seeking their game.
The truck is finally gone.
Ten minutes ago I was the biggest, fattest turkey...in the same hay field. He seemed to be very comfortable with himself and his food-gathering.
Not sure who has the most patience, a hunter or a huntee.

ALIVE!
Christians have the tendency to need reminders about their most basic beliefs.
Why else would we continue to "celebrate" the death of our Founder?
Maybe because His story is so beyond belief that we want to revel again in the miracle of His resurrection.
No other founder of a religion is said to have come back from the grave.
Our Lord Jesus the Christ did so, just as He said He would.
Despite the attempts to downplay this fact, His resurrection and continued life was witnessed by more than 500 people in the days following.
The reports in the New Testament are true.
Those who attempt to thwart them are ultimately confounded.

Be Kind
OK....I know. Politics is not everybody's thing. It was not mine for most of my life.
Now I've gotten involved on the periphery. That means I'm likely to meet you on the phone or at your front door in my support of various candidates, local and federal.
These may or may not be your favorite candidates. Or you may not give a tinker's d@#n about politics, thinking you have only one vote and it doesn't count. I will be energetic in encouraging you to learn about the races and at least make sure you give your vote intelligently, according to your own thinking.
I will not accept the fact that you are not even registered to vote. I will bug you unmercifully in that regard.
If you are a citizen of a republic, it is your duty as well as your right to vote for the people who pledge to serve us.
I can't promise that they will do what they say they will do in the future. I can only hope we can see traces of their character in what they say and do at the present, and if we have sources, what they have done in the past.
I will try to respect your views and opinions. I hope you will do the same for me.
Let us all conduct our lives in the spirit of courtesy and politeness!

Right
Sometimes we just KNOW we're "right". So it really hurts when we find out there were some facts we missed. Of course, then we can look further and find some other "facts" that support our original view. Who knows when this could end?
It sure is great to know GOD, because HE's always "right". No matter what we think about it.

double
So, I just went for a tour around the property. Guess what I found. There are wild white violets on my front lawn! They were not planted there; God put them there. You see, we used to have white and blue violets on our lawn "back home". I had transplanted some blue ones to my flower garden, but these are God's own miracles....to remind me of my growing up years with Mom and Dad. TY, God.
news
I have been remiss. As usual, life has happened. I am now in the throes of SPRING! A pansy that didn't freeze all winter is now blooming in my porch-side garden. It's a miracle. Many more miracles are showing themselves. Daffodils. Narcissi. Peepers at night. Fog in the morning. Sunshine and 70-degree temperatures in March.
