We like the weather but may not be good for plants and flours that are not suppose to sprout yet. With the record warm day you may notice the daffodils popping up in your neighborhood. Its normal to get the taste of spring and they will probably be just fine. There are others that will not be happy if we get another cold snap or get some snow. Visitors came out for a walk ain peek at state your on this urn usually warm february day. They found flowers peeks out of the ground. The flowers are peeking out and they will be in for a surprise. Snow drops are the dominant flower around and yellow winter, three good colors a nice sign of spring on the way. We asked the director of the arboretum if there is a cause of concern . There is not much you can do. Tulips and daffodils are tough and they evolve to withstand the ups and downs, things like magnolia trees are not out yet but if the warm weather persists and turns cold as it did last year. The emerging flowers can be damaged. Are you not imagining it flowers are blooming earlier than can throw things off. Its problematic, they may bloom earlier that the pollinators have not arrived yet. You can be losing some of the activities that plants depend upon. Some here today tell us they are worried here about that. The warm weather doesnt feel quite right. It concerns me a lot we need the winter and we need it for our souls to rest and need it for our plants to rest. So yes, i enjoy it. But it also scares me. So again the flowers are blooming now. Daffodils and crocuses and snow drops they develop overtime to withstand the cold temperatures, after a day like this. Maybe we should ask how will we endure the return to colder temperatures.

Jesus christ as your lord and master and savior. Billy graham used television and stadium base revivals to call people to the Christian Church and the farm boy became a counselor to president s and a big deal to americans facing a cold war and social change. To try to get a sense of the closest equivalent in society you would have to look for someone like oprah winfrey. A pro presser of studies, he described his abilities. The combination of personal charisma. And ability to connect with people oneonone with. Grahams revival message simple come down from your seat and accept christ. Reverend kay Marshall Williams of the Nazarene Baptist Church says he was a uniter not a divider. He removed a rope during a revive ale that separated blacks from whites. Billy went down and pulled the rope and allowed everyone to sit together and took a stand at a time when that was not popular. That action earned graham death threats. He took a stand. And two crew aids in philadelphia one in 1961 and the other in 1992 when he preached at the old veteran stadium over five nights. That vet stadium crusade was televised and drew 200,000. And it went on for a number of weeks, reportedly 600,000 people turned out to the various revivals. Live in villanova, john rawlins, channel 6 action news. Thank you.

And they would like to see more redescriptions on who could buy a gun plus a ban on assault style weapons. They are not used in hunting. They are only meant for killing. And i think that is terrible.
