On Monday, a large crowd gathered at Lincoln College to celebrate the birth of Martin Luther King. Jr. The program included a great breakfast, music from the Second Baptist Church Youth Choir and the Lincoln College Chorale, and some special guest speakers. Pictured from the left are Lincoln College President John Blackburn, Lincoln College student and scholarship recipient Rhiniqua Carter, Rev. Glenn Shelton, Keynote Speaker Chaplain Henry M. Johnson, and Master of Ceremonies Gary Davis.

This week, Mother Nature worked her magic in many areas. With snow and ice covered fields warmed by bright sunlight and spring-like temperatures, landscapes took on a new perspective. Add to that a dramatic sunset and what you get is something closer to art than nature.

Thanks to Nathan Podunajec for sharing this photo taken in rural Lincoln on Sunday evening.
