Hurray it's Spring

Maybe I better not get my hopes up too high, but judging from the weather we've had the past few days, spring has arrived. Yippee!!! The crocuses around the house are blooming and the tulip and daffodil stems seem to grow 2 inches a day. It's lovely!!

Every morning, from our kitchen and dining room windows, we get to witness spectacular sunrises. That side of the house faces the mountain range across the lake and each morning the sky greets the day with an incredible show of every shade of coral, pink, blue, and violet. It' s magnificent! Wish I could capture the beauty of it on the camera to share with all of you. I guess you'll just have to come for a visit, then you, too, can experience the glory of the Montana sunrise.

This week, Lord willing, we will head back to the Silver Valley for 4 days. Thursday we will meet with pastor's, pastor's wives, and other ministry leaders. John and Dianna Pierce will host the group in the building they've recently remodeled to house women who are getting out of jail. Over the course of the weekend we hope to spend time with several of the pastors and their wives throughout the Silver Valley, as well as get in some "family time" with our daughter and grandsons.

Prayer Points:

1. I need wisdom as I write scripts and make plans to host a radio program with an emphasis on pastor's wives.
2. That we will be attentive to God's direction and divine appointments for this weekend in the Silver Valley.
3. For my health: I've not been feeling the greatest lately. A nurse (neighbor) checked my blood pressure last week and says it's "time to see a doctor." So, I'm trying to get that scheduled, but it hasn't happened yet. If it's a matter of some lifestyle adjustments, please pray that I will have the self-discipline to do what's needed for improved health. (I think it would be very hard to give up salt). My morning coffee would also be hard to say "NO" to. Do I love coffee more than good health? "Help me, Lord. I want to make smart choices. I want to honor You with how I treat this temple."
4. That God will give Arthur a timely and pertinent message to give to the church in Kellogg this coming Sunday. Art was asked to speak, as their new pastor hasn't arrived yet.
