Tonight I have a picture of an empty plate for my son. He is partaking in a hunger fast with the youth group at church. He is raising awareness of the people in our world who are hungry. He stopped eating at 12:00 noon today and will not eat anything until 6:00 tomorrow night. During this time he will be playing volley ball tonight, sleeping at the church, and tomorrow passing out food to the poor in our local area. I am very proud of him for doing this. I also found out some cousins of his are also doing this tonight in another state. Please keep all these youth in your thoughts and prayers tonight.

When I was little I learned a song in school that went like this:“I looked out the window and what did I see? Popcorn popping on the apricot tree. Spring has brought me such a nice surprise. Popcorn popping right before my eyes. I can take an armful and make a treat. A popcorn ball that would smell so sweet. It wasn’t really so, but it seemed to be, popcorn popping on the apricot tree.”

I was reminded of this song when I saw my cherry tree today. A few blooms opened and it was such a great gift today.
