out like a lamb

Here in Florida, the weather has lived up to that old elementary school rhyme that says "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." It has been beautiful the last two weeks - too bad it can't stay this way all year round! Now if the other weather "ditty" comes true - "April showers bring forth May flowers" - we should be in good shape. Right now though, we are really low on the rainfall totals in Florida and we pray that we get some much needed rain. We do not look forward to the potential wild fires that we have had in the past.

In case you have not noticed, I have updated my blog sidebar recently.

1) I have added a link to all of my slideshows under Family & Photos.

2) I have changed the "Christian links" to read "Enhancement" with the thinking these links will help enhance your Christian walk and Christian world view. I have added links to another Christian online radio station "Abiding Radio" and also links to my home church and my son's church , Hope Baptist Church in PA. He has many photos posted of his youth group activities you might enjoy viewing. Another new link is to "Pulpit Helps" which has many free articles available. This site is connected to Spiros Zodhiates, and his ministry to the Greeks (AMG Int.) I read the printed version of "Pulpit Helps" for years and was happy to find this online site.

3) I have added two more bloggers to my "Blogroll" . Natalie and Meredith's Grandpa Johnson has started blogging again at "G'pa J" and "Youthpastor711" is written by our church youth pastor's wife, Carrie Bennett. She always includes lots of photos of the youth activities at our church.

4) Under the heading of "News, Sports & Fun" I have removed Duke basketball links and added the link to the Braves. Baseball season starts tonight with one game, St Louis Cardinals vs NY Mets. Also on the horizon is the Drum and Bugle Corps season, so I have added the link to DCI and will add others as the season progresses. Beyond the Ultimate is a site sponsored by Athletes in Action and has some interesting info, videos, and testimonies of coaches, athletes and even sports broadcasters like Clark Kellogg.
