Pastor Dewey Note: So many parts of the United States have been hit by extreme cold temperatures this winter. I saw on twitter tonight someone was having a contest called “Why do you live in Minnesota?” As I post this from our Dear friend Darlene Quiring from Mt. Lake, Minnesota it’s 6 below zero there at 10:26pm on Sunday night. The windchill temperatures in the Midwest have been brutal this winter hitting 30 to 40 below. This add’s some Minnesota humor to the cold!
