Last year the Reedsburg Lions Club spearheaded an effort to raise funds for the Reedsburg Area Food Pantry. We are doing it again this year. Between now and Dec. 15, the club is collecting donations from its members as well as members of the community. The club will match donations, dollar for dollar, up to $1,000.

Christmas in the time of plague, a Christmas unlike any other. We have never needed peace on earth and good will towards men more than we do right now. And in these dark and lonely days, we long for the return of light and warmth. I drift so easily towards what I miss about this season.

Thank you to the people on Sunset Drive for the great idea of decorating. I drove up there and it is really nice. At a time like this it is great to be able to think of something else for awhile.

“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches.” -- Jesus in Matthew 13
