This coming Sunday our featured missionary will be IDES. They are a ministry primarily supported by Christian Churches to provide help in times of disaster- feeding the hungry and sharing God's love. IDES.org is their web address. 

On Saturday I spent some time working in a flower bed. I noticed as I walked around the yard, that my lilacs are starting to bud, as well as some other bushes. I also noticed that some of my Asian Lillies are beginning to peak out of the ground. This is really early. Frost is nearly out of the ground and is in many places. This winter has not seemed so long. Really only two months long.
