Loving and Learning in Lodi February 2 2020
On Sunday, a common rodent (the Groundhog)
will look to see if it can see the shape of its own shadow and let us know how
much longer winter will be with us! Here are some more fun facts about these
short, waddle-ie creatures:
- Groundhogs
are the largest species in the squirrel family.
- Other names
for groundhogs include woodchucks, whistle-pigs and land-beavers.
- Groundhogs
are skilled climbers and swimmers, which helps them to escape less-skilled
predators.
- Groundhog
burrows are so complex that each has its own "bathroom" chamber.
- Groundhog
burrows are known to have been responsible for uncovering a historic
village, the Ufferman Site, north of Delaware, Ohio…a famous
archaeological site.
How do groundhogs, Dr. Seuss and Epiphany’s
Ah-ha’s tie together? W-e-l-l…
See
you Sunday, as we listen for God’s voice…

O Lord, you have examined my heart and
know everything about me.
When
far away you know my every thought.
You
chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest.
Every
moment you know where I am.
You
know what I am going to say before I even say it.
You
both precede and follow me and place your hand of blessing on my head.
This
is too glorious, too wonderful to believe!
