Who Are You Looking For

Today is Easter. When the friends of Jesus found an empty tomb and looked in it must have been a little scary. There sat a couple of angels. They asked the ladies why they were looking for the living among the dead.
 When we last visited early last Sunday morning it had just started raining. We ended up with close to 5 inches.
 Lighting is an example of our Creator's power. It split this tree in half from the very tiny top to the large bottom.
 This bird's pride got the best of him. He tried to fight off a decoy and now he is going to be a meal for Mike and his family.
 Well late in the week the weather gave us a green light and we were headed back to the field.
 This is Pablo bringing the sprayer a load of product that will keep the weeds from taking over this season.
 The planters ran on Saturday. Soil conditions are more important to us than soil temps for successful germination and early growth. The calendar says it will soon warm up.
NH3 application is wrapping up. University Hospital in Iowa City reported five NH3 accidents this spring. Those folks involved would have been treated by the same doctors that treated BJ. We are so thankful for his healing and eyesight after last fall's accident.
 
 This is a group of friends I have learned to love and respect. We met as a board and staff of the Family Leader at Dave and Cheryl's home in West Des Moines. A dedicated bunch that is continually pushing for conservative values in our political arena.
I have visted with you before about our neighbor Edgar. We attended the funeral of his wife this week. Our sympathies and prayers go out to Edgar and his children Julie, Kim, and Eddie and their families. 
Have you ever looked up and wondered and worried what happens at death. Well you don't need to if you know and have a relationship with the One that loves us, came down to earth and paid for our wrongs by dying for us, and then conquered death by rising on the third day. That's what we are celebrating today. He's worth looking for.
