Hello friends!  Today I’m feeling hopeful about spring: here in north-central Illinois, we’re having temperatures in the mid fifties.  This morning, I saw my first two red-winged blackbirds of the season—and then my first two robins!

I’ve been working on a new project, putting short sermons online for my church, the Open Prairie United Church of Christ in Princeton, IL.  Here’s one with a valuable tip: how to feel beautiful.  (Because you’re good enough, you’re smart enough, and doggone it, people like you!)

Best blessings!
