It’s officially Springtime and the Azaleas look beautiful. Daylight savings time affords us opportunities to enjoy their beauty for longer periods each day. I have been transplanting various houseplants and hope to place them on my porch soon. I’m looking forward to container-gardening this year also. Bell peppers and tomatoes are what I plan to begin with, hoping that they will yield a good crop.
Church News:
Live Oak UMC:
*On Sunday March 16th, Rev. Terrence August’s sermon was taken from the 27th Division of Psalms and it was entitled: “Trust In God In The Midst of Fear”. He preached that in order to Trust God in Fearful times we must: Have Confidence in Him, have Communion with Him and be Committed to “Waiting on the Lord”. And though we’re living in fearful times, we can experience the Presence of God dwelling within us & His Protection if we wait Faithfully. Amen.
