Have your hummingbirds drained your feeders? This is the first season I recall feeders completely drained within 2 – 3 days.
Cavity-nesting birds keep me busy on NestWatch.org Late last week Black-crested Titmouse babies fledged. A new nest is started in a nestbox nearby. And, we have 3 active Bewick’s Wren nestings in our backyard.
After our first trip to Willow City Loop with church friends in late March, I posted photos of flowers on iNaturalist.org Within hours, identification came in. iNaturalist is a cool tool.
A favorite reading of mine for Easter (previously included in Montage in 2010) comes from He Chose the Nails, Copyright (W Publishing Group, 2000) Max Lucado.
“The Clothing on the Cross
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness.” 1 Peter 2:24 (NIV)
When Christ was nailed to the cross, he took off his robe of seamless perfection and assumed a different wardrobe, the wardrobe of indignity.
The indignity of nakedness. Stripped before his own mother and loved ones. Shamed before his family.
The indignity of failure. For a few pain-filled hours, the religious leaders were the victors, and Christ appeared the loser. Shamed before his accusers.
Worst of all, he wore the indignity of sin. “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness.”
The clothing of Christ on the cross? Sin – yours and mine. The sins of all humanity.”
Thank God.
Happy Resurrection Day.
Love to you, PTom
