Spring

We have had the strangest winter!  We don't usually get a lot of cold days; our nights are freezing, but the days are almost always nice.  We had about five days in February that were the coldest I can ever remember around here.  Most of our town was without water for a couple of days and just about everyone we know had busted water pipes, us included.  Getting a plumber out here was just about impossible because of the high demand, so we learned a lot.  My boys would say we "hick fixed" the pipes, but I don't care what they call it.  I was never so grateful for water!  Boiling water on the stove (thank the Lord, we still has gas; a lot of people lost their gas, too) got old very quick.  We are so spoiled by our modern conveniences!  I have always said that I was born in the wrong century.  Now I think know maybe God knew what he was doing.


Anyway, because our winters are so mild, I don't really notice when spring comes around, but this year I did.  Spring weather doesn't last long around here.  It gets brutally hot way before we're ready for it, so I will do my best to enjoy the pleasant days while we have them.

Beautiful Creatures that Defy Evolution

When we went on vacation in September, these gorgeous blue birds were almost constantly out our windows.  Every where we looked, there was another reminder of our Creator.  It seems impossible to me to deny the existence of Almighty God, when I see just a few of the things he has created.
