Sunday will be one of the largest days in the church. For those of you who choose to believe, it is 1 or 1A with Christmas.  This is the day that Jesus was resurrected from the dead and ascended into Heaven.  This is not me writing trying to talk you into religion, this is me acknowledging something I believe in and millions and millions others do as well.  This Easter take some time and remember the real reason behind the Easter baskets and all of the candy.

Who would have ever  thought that we would have snow after having such beautiful weather? It was just Sunday that my daughter and I took our boat out on Green Lake.  Then to wake up Tuesday morning to an inch or more of snow is....beautiful!
