This week we finish the Christian season of Epiphany with the transfiguration of Christ and move into the Christian Season of Lent (Lent is a season of forty days, not counting Sundays, which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. The forty days represents the time Jesus spent in the wilderness, enduring the temptation of Satan and preparing to begin his ministry.). However, before we move quickly into lent, I want to talk about the Transfiguration of Jesus and how we should understand our own transfiguration. Luke 9:28-29, 35 (NRSV) 28 Now about eight days after these sayings Jesus[a] took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. 29 And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. 35 Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!”

Now you can use your library card to check out a mobile hotspot device - just like a book. These pocket-sized devices are easy to use and can connect up to 8 devices, such as your smart phone, laptop, and tablet, to cellular Internet. Use the device to surf the Internet, help your children do their homework, connect to health and banking services, and much, much more! The device and service are already paid for, you just need to come in to the library to check it out!

Get ready ya’ll. The 2022 Home & Garden Expo is this Saturday (26th), and Sunday (27th). Doors open at 9am Saturday, 11am Sunday. Get your advance tickets from The Kemp Center for the Arts or perhaps your favorite nonprofit. This is a very good deal for local nonprofit orgs. They keep some of the money from ticket sales to further the cause. So you can support the nonprofit community and the Arts Council at the same time. Nonprofits have become an outstanding part of living in today’s culture. Whatever cause you would like to help with you can bet there is a nonprofit org out there doing the work, educating the public, and turning your time and/ or money into something worthwhile.
