Psalms 46:1-3

¹God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

 ²Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

 ³Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.

~~*~~

It's so hard to believe the devastation that has taken place on our Earth; but we still must hold on to our belief that God will see us through.  

Please keep the families in your prayers for all the people who are facing such tragedies as the horrible earth quake and tsunami in Japan.  Pray for the children and parents.  Pray for the countries leaders to come together with the help from others to give them relief.  Please pray for the rescue efforts that are taking place to bring some sense of calm back into their lives.

I saw a very encouraging sign of spring yesterday ~ looking down stream off the DeMar's Bridge on the Flambeau River.  If you notice the two little blobs of white to the right of the ice on the river ... those are swans.  I know... not the best picture; but that's what they are!

Here's a shot of them flying away around the bend in the river~

none the less ...

The swans are coming back ... and it's encouragement to me about warmer days in the future.   It's starting to feel like spring!

Did you remember to turn your clocks ahead?

Also ... 

just for fun I thought I'd show you a few of my brother's cows ... lol   They were standing out by the fence line along side the road ... just begging for their pictures to be taken ... or not.

This guy has a dirty little face compared to the fresh white snow. lol

Until next time...

So it goes in my neck of the woods.
