Hunkered down in Wisconsin and here are some thoughts for you.

[nrscroller]

HI all,

My wife and I are humkered down here in Western Wisconsin and we are not sick, just being safe. 

With all the crazy things going on in the world and our country and the markets, I sometimes wonder if God is not telling everyone something.

If your home, enjoy family time, be thankful for what God has given you. We always say, that it's not our house or possessions or money, it's God's and he wants us to have fun but also to be wise with what we do with them. 

I will be retired 18 years in May, I never dreamed I would have what I have today. I have a good wife, she was raised on the farm where they had to live with what they had back in the 50's when she was born. 

There is a quote that I would like to share written by this boy who died young and left a legacy.

"Use what you have to make another person happy and joy will be returned to you"--Zach Sobiech.

Take time to pray and ask God to keep you safe and thank Him for what you have in life now. Pray for help if your sick or laid off. Pray for our President, he is doing what he can to help us all. Pray for our country and the world. Let's be able to look back on this all in 6 months and say, Wow the good Lord did take care of us all in one way or another.

Mom always said out of everything bad that happens, something good will come out of it. She died 23 years ago on Easter night. I am 74 now.

Keep safe and well

May the peace that passes all undestanding keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus our LOrd.

Amen.

Bill

Thank you sir for your words.  We are here is southeastern Wisconsin doing the same and thinking and feeling the same.  At 73 we don't travel much, but get up towards Minneapolis every couple of years.  You sound like someone I would like to have coffee with.
