February brings with it great promises of spring. In southern Utah the bees begin buzzing, and the daffodils poke their heads out to welcome the warmer weather. The world wakes up – flowers, grass, trees, and even the little crawling insects will soon begin to emerge from their winter rest. We all know that there will be cold days and nights ahead. That is the nature of spring – unpredictable! So it is with the world that we live in today: very unpredictable. We have seen a great increase in disasters and need for preparedness and service. Let us use this springtime – a time of new life – to breathe fresh air into our preparedness efforts. Like the ant spoken of in Proverbs… “Go to the ant…consider her ways and be wise! Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler – provideth her meat in the summer and gathereth her food in the harvest.” (Proverbs 6: 6-8) We can learn from the tiniest insects around us to BE PREPARED! Let us use this beautiful spring time to do a little better!
