What is a hardiness zone? The hardiness zone is based on 30year averages of the lowest winter temperatures at specific locations. It is then divided into 10-degree Fahrenheit zones and again into 5-degree half-zones. The map reads we are in zone 5a. It doesn't take into consideration our temperature fluctuations in winter, high temps in summer, or drought. I recommend you choose plants that are in Zone 3 or 4, we do raise some Zone 5 plants, but they may succumb to winter.

All four of the Evangelists—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—record in our Bible’s both Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead. Jesus’ death on the cross is, with few exceptions, universally acknowledged as being an historic fact.

Is Jesus’ resurrection, therefore, historic fact or merely historical fiction?

An excerpt from a March 29, 2023 article by Vincent J. “Jim” Troiola, American Legion National Commander: The Vietnam War’s place in our national story is remembered March 29, a day when most schools and workplaces will stay open, and observances are typically kept among those of my wartime generation. We, of that generation, and The American Legion know the significance of National Vietnam War Veterans Day, which has been observed since 2017, when President Trump signed the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act.

The week leading up to Easter is referred as “Holy Week.” Christians mark each day after Palm Sunday to Easter as a day of holy reflection, marking the events of Jesus and his disciples leading up to Jesus’ arrest, crucifixion, death and resurrection. This time is also called the “Passion” because of the unbelievable things that took place during the week leading up to Jesus’s death and resurrection. In the case of the passion of Jesus, it is bloody, terrifying, and full of despair and hopelessness that lead up to Sunday. On Easter Sunday, Jesus fulfilled the prophesy of the Old Testament in his resurrection from death. In that act, Jesus gained victory over death and gave us the gift of eternal life.
