Zoning officer, Denzil Lorton, announced at the Cass County board meeting on March 11th, that he will be retiring.
Lorton said with all the solar and wind business, the load is getting greater. He has assisted with many rezoning ordinance rewrites in his time with the county and wishes them and his replacement nothing but the best. He will make himself available to whomever the county hires and assist them in anyway he can. Mr. Lorton did recommend Dave Mayes for his replacement. The board thanked Lorton for his years of service.
Let’s face it! We are having beautiful, but freaky weather for this time of year. Yes, we love the sunshine and 70+ degrees outside. Add to that the time change (something I dislike, but many prefer it) which gives us more daylight hours in the evening.
February and March have many times in the past been our worse winter months. Warm days, cold nights, thunderstorms, ice storms, tornadoes, blizzards, you name it. The weather is pretty unstable during these two momths. Then in April, it tries to balance itself out.
One of the most compelling episodes leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion is His moment of struggle in the Garden of Gethsemane. At the core of each telling (Matthew 26:36ff, Mark 14:32ff, Luke 39ff) is the petition from the Lord’s Prayer, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Jesus very clearly applies this simple request to the difficulty of the cross that stands before Him. So we learn to pray this prayer when God places crosses before us.
