Windy Day

A Little Finch in the Wind
Last Wednesday was a very windy day. We looked out  the window and watched this little finch hold on to the bird feeder while he enjoyed some fresh thistle seed. I just love the wild birds and animals.

When the winds blow in our life, we too, need to hang on.

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” 
I Thessalonians 5:21

Someone once said, we can’t do anything about the wind, but we can adjust our sails.

The Ball Game
The basketball game last night was very exciting. Kara’s team, Indian Springs, won 33-22, but it got very close just before half time. Here’s a couple of pictures. (You may click on the picture for a larger view)

Kara just got a rebound and is in heavy traffic.--->
