True, enduring happiness, with the accompanying strength, courage, and capacity to overcome the greatest difficulties, will come as you center your life in Jesus Christ. Obedience to His teachings provides a secure ascent in the journey of life. That takes effort. While there is no guarantee of overnight results, there is the assurance that, in the Lord's time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and happiness will be yours."

Oh SO Minnesota
About two weeks ago we went to the Ellis Middle School track meet to watch Zeke. There was a strong wind blowing but it was an otherwise nice day. Then the following Saturday April 16 we got a couple of inches of snow. Luckily the ground had warmed enough that it didn't stick to the pavement and there was very little left Sunday. But then it snowed again April 18 and 19. They were projecting 7 inches but we only got a little over 4 inches. Again though with the warmer ground temperatures what did not melt only lasted about a day and we are back to the 50's today.
Minnesota certainly has it's unusual weather.
As a side note we also had the Easter bunny visit twice yesterday. He came up to the sliding door twice and looked in and then hopped away - guess he was trying to decide if we ready for him.
