Luke 24:36b-48

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen,being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. —Romans 1:20 NIV

Believing Is SeeingWe all know the old saying “seeing is believing,” which makes perfectsense, since it is hard to doubt something that is right in front of you. Butthe equation of seeing and believing works both ways. That is, we oftenbelieve only because we have directed our eyes, or our mental gaze, in thedirection of something. Many of us believe in God because we have seenHis work in our lives or have experienced him in a way that is hard todoubt. Many view the natural world around them as the handiwork ofGod and this strengthens their faith. The eleventh chapter of Hebrewsgives a working definition of faith as “confidence in what we hope for andassurance about what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1 NIV) Those whobelieve without seeing are sometimes commended for their faith, butsometimes, in the effort to strengthen our faith, we really need to lookharder. If you aren’t looking for God in the world then you probably won’tsee Him there, whereas if you make a determined effort to see God, bothin the guise of your fellow human beings, and in the natural world allaround you, you are sure to see Him everywhere. —Christopher Simon

She Bought A Red Motor ScooterOdd it was, or so I thought, that mom took to the highway in order

to buy my younger brother a little red motor scooter. He was maybe six-teen or seventeen at the time, and she was fifty five. I remember,because that’s how old mom was when she died.

In her final months, she mustered energy a plenty. In the monthsprior to her death, she made another major purchase by plopping downsome earnest money on a cabin. It was the cabin she and dad hadalways dreamed of owning. But, she wasn’t fooling anyone becauseeveryone knew she’d never be around to enjoy it.

She bought that cabin with the wisdom of Saul…knowing fullwell…dad would need something to look forward to once she wasgone. Her words were plain enough as she faced her death that finalseason of her life. “We always wanted one of these and by cracky, nowwe got one!”

She chuckled as her sense of humor, still in full swing, took the finalswing by giving back as she always did. That was her gift; she gave toothers.

Now back to the beginning. What did my little brother want at hisstage in life? Apparently, he desired a red scooter to get around town,and she wanted to make sure he had what he needed. Off they wentto Bemidji, some six hours from where they lived, just to purchase thatscooter. I remember the excitement as they unloaded it. I rememberher enjoyment of watching him enjoy what she was able to give.

Mom stood by, quite sick, smiling her way through the episode. Iremember the urgency she had in achieving this goal as if it would sealher love for him by letting him know how much she desired to move himalong in life even if she would not be able to be there. She knew alright,yet put herself last even in her pain while putting others first. I supposethat’s how a mama loves…at least this mama of ours.

She even managed to replace the carpet in the house for dad beforeshe died because what she wanted more than anything else was foreveryone else to keep on living. She wouldn’t be a part of it all this sideof Heaven, but she gave in the only way she could in her final days bycaring for those whom she loved.

Arriving at the hospital for her final night here on earth, she was ableto give one last gift to dad. She told him to go back home to get a goodnight’s sleep. As it was a mere two blocks away from where she lay, heagreed. Once gone, she knew she’d done all she could do for othersand went to be with the One she’d spent her whole life in prayerwith…Jesus.

She knew Him well, and gave accordingly. He worked through her,and as she would simply state, “I offer my whole day up as a prayer.”

When you add that up day to day, it soon becomes weeks, months,and years. Her years of prayers were never wasted when she spent hermoments serving those around her in love.

John 15:13-14, 16-17 says, “Greater love hath no man than this,that a man lay down his life for his friends…Do whatsoever I commandyou. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you,that ye should go and bring forth fruit…These things I command you,that ye love one another.” Amen.

Darrin Strosahl, vice president for academicaffairs at Northwest Technical College,announced that NTC is adding a CommercialRefrigeration/HVAC academic program begin-ning in Fall 2018. “I’m excited to be able to announce our newCommercial Refrigeration program at North-west Technical College,” Strosahl said. “We arelooking ahead to see what is out there, in termsof technical education, that we needed to payattention to, then listening to business andindustry and then acting upon that.” The program is being added in directresponse to feedback from north-central Min-nesota commercial refrigeration employers,who shared their perceptions regarding a short-age of skilled employees available to the com-mercial refrigeration industry during a Dec.2017 listening session on campus. During that presentation, employers encour-aged NTC to develop a program that provides ahigh level of electrical and electrical controlsknowledge in addition to fundamental skills incommercial refrigeration. “We listened to business and industry inDecember, and by March we've got approvalfor a new program,” Strosahl said. “This is aquick turnaround and something we're reallyproud of.” NTC’s Commercial Refrigeration/HVAC

program will offer a 60-credit diploma combin-ing courses from the college’s current Plumb-ing/HVAC and Electrical Construction &Maintenance programs with a 15-credit blockof new Commercial Refrigeration courses,along with general education requirements. Strosahl said the program will provide train-ing and coursework that directly correlates tobusiness and industry requests. It will initiallyprovide approximately 60 percent of its instruc-tion in classrooms with the remaining 40 per-cent taking place in hands-on labs and fieldexperience. Students will take courses in elec-trical theory and advanced electronics andmotor controls along with specialized course-work exploring commercial refrigeration sys-tems and equipment. "The part that I'm proud of as we start thisnew program is that we've made a point to lis-ten to business and industry and then make sureour program reflects it,” Strosahl said. “Ulti-mately, our goal is to serve the students — wewant students to leave the program having theskill set they will need to help them be success-ful on the job. That's what technical educationis about — ensuring that alignment betweenyour education and your employment." The college is currently seeking faculty toteach the program.

The Otter Tail County Historical Society’s Otter Tail 150Coffee Klatch series concludes Friday, April 13, 10 a.m. withLowell Carpenter presenting “The Fergus Falls State Hospital:Ahead of its Time.”

It is hard to assess the impact of the Fergus Falls State Hos-pital during its 115 year history. What is its legacy? How shouldit be remembered? Should we remember the hospital by the pub-lic perception that this massive facility was full of neglectedpatients, harsh treatments and callous employees? Or should weremember it as an enlightened institution which was at the fore-front of innovative treatment, run by empathetic administratorsand employees who took pride in their humane treatment oftheir patients? Beyond the current controversy regarding thepreservation of the building itself, what did it contribute? Low-ell Carpenter’s presentation will examine some of the peopleand events which suggest the Fergus Falls State Hospital wasamong the most innovative and respected state hospitals in thenation.

A retired public school teacher, Carpenter wrote and directed“Walking the Tightrope” a 2015 theater production that drama-tized stories of how the hospital touched the lives of employees,patients and the community.

License Sales Support Diverse AnglingOpportunities

Walleye might be Minnesota’s most popular fish, but thestate’s waters also are renowned for trophy catfish, muskellungeand smallmouth bass. All of the state’s large rivers are home tolake sturgeon, which can weigh as much as 100 pounds. Insoutheastern Minnesota, trout rise to flies in the region’s cold,clear spring creeks. Along the North Shore, large migratoryrainbow trout known as steelhead provide thrills. “Whether you are after the fish of a lifetime or some bluegillsfor the frying pan, when you buy a license you are helping fundwork that sustains Minnesota’s unique fisheries,” said JeniferWical, the DNR’s Fish and Wildlife marketing coordinator.“When you share your passion by taking someone else fishing,you are helping sustain the future of great fishing in Minneso-ta.” There are adult individual angling licenses and licenses formarried couples. Anglers can buy licenses for 24-hour, 72-hourand three-year time periods. Lifetime licenses can keep some-one fishing long into the future, and come at great prices, espe-cially for children 3 and under and those ages 51 and older. Life-time licenses also can be given as gifts. Youth ages 16 and 17 can buy an annual license for $5. Min-

nesotans 15 and under are not required to buy a license to fishbut must comply with fishing regulations. All nonresidents needa license, except those age 15 and younger do not need one if aparent or guardian is licensed. Buy licenses at any DNR license agent, online with a mobileor desktop device at mndnr.gov/buyalicense, or by phone at888-665-4236. Mobile buyers receive a text or email that servesas proof of a valid fish or game license to state conservationofficers. Customers are encouraged to update their customer recordonline at mndnr.gov/buyalicense. Adding an email, while notrequired, allows the DNR to send important hunting and fishinginformation, and gather input through surveys. For those who hunt and fish, a sports license includes anglingand small game, and a super sports license includes atrout/salmon stamp, small game with pheasant and waterfowl,and a deer tag (archery, firearms or muzzleloader). This year license fees increase by $3 for a resident individualangling license, and fees also increase for other license typesincluding deer hunting licenses, sports licenses and lifetimelicenses. To learn more about how the DNR spends hunting and fish-ing license dollars locally, visit mndnr.gov/LicenseDollarsAtorkand select an area near you.

Be Aware Of Bears This Spring Anyone living near bear habitat is reminded to be aware ofbears this spring and check their property for food sources thatcould attract bears. “Bears are roaming around now with the lack of snow andwarmer weather so interactions with people are going to start incentral Minnesota which includes the southern part of the bearrange,” said Eric Nelson, wildlife animal damage programsupervisor for the Minnesota Department of NaturalResources. As bears emerge from hibernation, their metabolism gradual-ly ramps up and they will begin looking for food at a time whenberries and green vegetation can be scarce. Pet food, livestockfeed, bird seed, compost or garbage can attract bears. Attractingbears to yards can lead to property damage and presents dangersto bears. Only black bears live in the wild in Minnesota. They usuallyare shy and flee when encountered. Never approach or try to peta bear. Injury to people is rare, but bears are potentially danger-ous because of their size, strength and speed. The DNR does not relocate problem bears. Relocated bearsseldom remain where they are released. They may return towhere they were caught or become a problem somewhere else. The DNR offers some tips for avoiding bear conflicts.Around the yard • Do not leave food from barbeques and picnics outdoors,especially overnight. Coolers are not bear-proof. • Replace hummingbird feeders with hanging flower baskets,which are also attractive to hummingbirds. • Eliminate birdfeeders or hang them 10 feet up and 4 feet outfrom the nearest trees. • Use a rope and pulley system to refill birdfeeders, and clean

up spilled seeds. Where bears are a nuisance, birdfeeders shouldbe taken down between now and Dec. 1. • Store pet food inside and feed pets inside. If pets must befed outdoors, feed them only as much as they will eat. • Clean and store barbeque grills after each use. Store them ina secure shed or garage away from windows and doors. • Pick fruit from trees as soon as it’s ripe and collect fallenfruit immediately. • Limit compost piles to grass, leaves and garden clippings,and turn piles regularly. Do not add food scraps. • Harvest garden produce as it matures. Locate gardens awayfrom forests and shrubs that bears may use for cover. • Use native plants in landscaping whenever possible. Cloverand dandelions will attract bears. • Elevate bee hives on bear-proof platforms or erect properlydesigned electric fences. • Do not put out feed for wildlife (like corn, oats, pellets ormolasses blocks).Garbage • Store garbage in bear-resistant garbage cans or dumpsters.Rubber or plastic garbage cans are not bear-proof. • Keep garbage inside a secure building until the morning ofpickup. • Properly rinse all recyclable containers with hot water toremove all remaining product. • Store recyclable containers, such as pop cans, inside. • Store garbage that can become smelly, such as meat or fishscraps, in a freezer until it can be taken to a refuse site or pickedup by refuse collector. • Take especially smelly or rotting garbage as soon as possi-ble to your local refuse facility so it can be buried. People should always be cautious around bears. If bear prob-lems persist after cleaning up food sources, contact a DNR areawildlife office for advice. For the name of the local wildlifemanager, contact the DNR Information Center at 651-296-6157or 888-646-6367, or visit mndnr.gov/contact/locator.html.
