One of my jobs at Friends & Neighbors is to choose and enter the graphics. 

As far as time is concerned, that takes hours. I believe that a picture is worth a thousand words. I also try to inject some humor into the selections for two reasons, one to enhance the story and two to show a little humor. 

What we do is inform and give you information, but it doesn’t just have to be boring. I think the graphics and photos help. I hope they also make you smile occasionally.

As I told you last week, Polly and I are going to Italy for a few weeks. This is a smaller than usual edition.   We will see you back here in the second week of May feisty as ever.

Have a great Palm Sunday and Easter. Happy Passover to all our Jewish friends and neighbors. Christians and Jews should read Exodus for a great story of trial, tribulation, and triumph. And the best quote of the Book “The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still.” (Exodus 14:14) 

It is in this book of the Bible that the 10 Commandments are given to Moses and ultimately us. How often do we look behind the verses and concentrate on the Word. We must see behind the words for the true meaning of where God is sending us.

We have several guest columnists including Sheriff Budensiek on Resource Officers. Also, Bill West on the business environment, John Grant on seniors, and the Martin County Taxpayers Association.

 Have a great holiday. And I will see you in May.
