Women, men and children in more than 170 coun-
tries and regions will celebrate World Day of
Prayer, Friday, March 4, 2011. The women of Chile
have written the service around the theme How
many loaves have you? They Ask us to enter a
process that draws us into the Bible, into the con-
text of Chile and into the real situations of our lives
and communities. Together, we are asked to re-
spond to what we have and how we can share it
with others. In this past year, Chile has been chal-
lenged by a devastating earthquake and the col-
lapse of a mine in which many miners were
trapped. Again we are reminded to share our bread
and to receive the bread that is shared with us. On
March 4, 2011, let us reach out our hands and
hearts to touch the lives of sisters and brothers in
Chile and around the world.
This year‟s service will begin with lunch at noon fol-
lowed by the service at 1:00 pm on Friday, March
4, 2011. It will be held at the Ashland United Meth-
odist Church. Come join the women of Chile in
prayer and song to support women‟s ecumenical
ministries toward justice, peace, healing and
wholeness.

Friends,
You know, I wish I was an ordained minister
and knew a lot more about the Bible and God
and Jesus and the Holy Spirit; but my life hasn’t
developed that way. Thank you for all those
ministers who take us a little closer to God each
time they speak to us!!!
I don’t know about the many mysteries of the
Bible (although I will someday). I don’t know
much about God’s plan (but I know a little more
each day). I don’t know how God does what He
does each day to show us some of the most
spectacular sunrises and sunsets in the world! I
have no idea how Jesus had enough courage to
go to the cross for us; to suffer so much physical
and emotional pain!!!
One thing I do know is how to say ―Thank You‖
to God for what He has given us!!! I know a
blessing when I see one!!! I know what kind of
a blessing the song ―I Know How to Say Thank
You‖ sung by Mark Lowry is to me!
Below you will find some excerpts from this
song. Just remember to say ―Thank You‖ sev-
eral times a day for your blessings from God!!!
―There were times today when angels stood
round me – and I couldn’t even see – there were
times when I was hurting – and then You
stepped in and took the pain for me – and there
were moments when You stopped me, Lord – so
I could smell the roses by the road – and though
I’m not the wisest person – there were some
things that beyond a doubt I know.
I know how to say ―Thank You‖ – I know a
blessing when I see one – I’m a recipient of
grace through the hours and the days – I know
how to say ―Thank You‖.‖
Lyrics written by Suzanne and Barry Jennings
Have a great March! See you in April!

God’s Creation!
God created the Heavens and Earth - all you see, all you don't see. Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bot-tomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God's Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss. God spoke: "Light!" And light appeared. God saw that light was good and separated light from dark. God named the light Day, he named the dark Night. It was evening, it was morning - Day One.
God spoke: "Sky! In the middle of the waters; separate water from water!" God made sky. He separated the water under sky from the water above sky. And there it was: he named sky the Heavens; It was evening, it was morning - Day Two.
Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good. It was evening, it was morning - Day Three
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firma-ment of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. It was evening it was morning – Day Four.
And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." It was evening, it was morning - Day Five

Estate Liquidation, Hauling Cleanout
March can mean many things to people. Hunting and fishing licenses expire at the end of the month. For Julius Caesar the soothsayers warning of “Beware the Ides of march” foretold of his demise. Now we all
start cleaning the yards for the mowing season ahead. Not so many years ago March meant kite flying. Bicycles would be readied for riding and kites were popular with kids of all ages. Building your own from scratch was an adventure. Small cut willow branches, butcher paper, (complements of the Jones Broth-
ers store), along with string, glue, scrap fabric for the tail and lots of patience, you could make a great kite. For a quarter and a dime you could purchase a kite and string from Brownbacks Drug Store. Then all you
needed to assemble it and “borrow” fabric from the sewing basket. You were then ready for the winds of March. Finding a suitable location to launch the kite without trees or power lines was easy. You just hopped on your bicycle with the kite in town and rode to the South ball diamond. Running with the wind in your face and the kite behind, you ran until the kite started to soar. Once the kite caught the
wind, you could let out as much string as you wanted as it soared higher. There were no cell phones or worries, just you and your friends watching the kites. After a few hours you would realize it was time to go home. You would start the long winding process with vigor. After a few minutes you
slowed down and wondered why you used three rolls of string! The next day as you walked to school you might see a kite whirling around a power line or hung up in a tree! Children had been warned by parents never
to fly them close to obstacles but somehow some kites ended up in strange places. It is time to “go fly a kite”. Happy Spring, Ashland! - RSD

A reminder that we have upcoming elections in April. If you need to register to vote or need to update your registration information, these services are now available through the Village Office. Ashland now has a page on Face Book. We hope this helps to improve communications with you as a way to relay boil orders and other news. The Village Code states that dog owners must keep their dog under restraint at all times and not permit the dog to run loose off the premises of the owner’s property unless the dog is under complete control with a leash. If you see a street light out, the Village office (217/476-3317) and we will contact CIPS for repair.
