How
many of us remember the Care Bears? It is so sweet and
inspirational in its own way. They were adorable little
bears that children loved to cuddle, and many kids had their
favorites. Each one had a special symbol on its tummy, and
this particular bear is "Tenderheart." And he is showing his
love by pouring out a bucket of hearts all over the window.
Maybe this could be our best message as we approach Easter
this year. We should all show love (from a distance) to
those who mean so much to us. What better time to appreciate
those who are an important part of our lives on a daily
basis?
Our hope for the best outcome of this terrible disease we
are all sheltering from, is that when it is over we will
love more deeply, share more generously, and give more of
ourselves to those who are important to us.

The
beauty of nature is all around us. This area is a popular sheltering
place for heron. The large birds build their nest in colonies high
in trees. The nests are generally about three-and-a half feet in
diameter to accommodate the big birds. When in flight, the birds
present an awesome sight with a six-foot wing span.

On Wednesday
evening, Laurel Sutton had finished her day working at CEFCU
in Lincoln and was on her way home for the night. As she
headed south on Primm Road a heavy storm hit the area with
hard fast winds.
In an instant, Laurel found herself in a situation no one
ever wants to be in. Power poles were falling in front of
her vehicle as well as behind! She was trapped in her car
while the storm raged around her.
Thankfully she was rescued by local first responders and
Ameren, but it is surely an event that she will never
forget.
Thanks to all who helped Laurel, and Laurel - we are happy
that you are okay!
