Ok, here's the deal, if spring will not go to Iowa, then Iowa will go to spring! On this blog anyway......in the form of the fake green ivy vine in this photo.
Today is "Judica", the Fifth Sunday of Lent. The word judica having to do with judges and courts. The Antiphon of the day is listed as Psalm 43, verse 1: "Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation......". In the Bible I looked this up in, the footnote to this verse said, "A plea in the language of the court."
Ok, so maybe we should plead for spring to come!
********************
Here's a little melody my mom used to sing to us as a lullaby:
Tell me why the ivy twine
Tell me why the sky's so blue
Tell me why the stars do shine
And I will tell you just why I love you
*****
Because God made the ivy twine
Because God made the sky so blue
Because God made the stars to shine
Because God made you
That's why I love you!!!
***********************
These words are not quite the same without the soothing little tune to carry them, but their message is clear, and certainly states a good reason to love the people God has put in our lives.
May you be able to nap an hour this afternoon to regain the sleep lost to Daylight Savings Time.......now there's a sure sign of spring!!
A peaceful Judica to you and yours!

Bring on spring!! I like the idea of Iowa going to spring...!
Yes, I did see the ending of that game - very exciting!! Of course, since I am not a part of the team or a close follower, I could watch the game without going, well, crazy!! I have a tendency of yelling at TV sets...!!!
I DID watch Drake beat Illinois State this afternoon. My daughter goes to Drake, so I was quite happy with the 30 point win!
Take care.
Yes, it was fun to see Drake play so well and I wish them the best in the NCAA Tourney. Their quick passing is very impressive......genuine teamwork that makes one sit up and take notice!
I mentioned the Wahlert game's finish to a guy at church this morning, and he said he thinks the shooter travelled before he made that last-second shot. What a killjoy!
