Snowmobile trail conditions vary throughout Minnesota but, in areas where there’s good snow, riders have been getting out with gusto. Snowmobile tracks are common sights in road ditches, on trails and atop the ice. This year’s busy start to the riding season continues a surge in recent years of people riding snowmobiles to enjoy Minnesota’s outdoors.
On Monday, Jan. 10, Redwood Valley FFA members took on the freezing cold weather and traveled to Ridgewater College for another day of regional contests.
On the wall of my member’s home that I was visiting last week were graduation pictures of their kids. Whenever I read the Apostle Paul’s words to the Ephesians in chapter 2, that image comes to my mind. I imagine that God has my picture on his wall or in his wallet. Verse 6 says, “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” (Eph 2:6 NIV). However, if you look closer at that passage, it says more than that. It actually says that God sees US seated with him, not just our picture. What a mind-boggling thought. God sees us in the future, but speaks of it as already done in the past.
It was time for a hometown visit. Soon the snow would fly and the winter weather would stop me in my tracks and as the route home hadn’t been traveled for some time, now was the time.
