Daylight Saving Time Begins!

I just wanted to warn everyone, we will be springing forward an hour this weekend. Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00 A.M., on Sunday, March 9. Essentially this will move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening for us. The actual shift occurs when the time goes from 1:59 A.M. to 3:00 A.M.

Don't forget to reset you clocks Saturday night. If you don't you'll be late for church.

Resetting our clocks for Daylight Saving Time is a good reminder to change the batteries in our smoke detectors. According to William McNabb of the Troy Fire Department in Michigan, A working smoke detector more than doubles a person's chances of surviving a home fire." Statistically, more than 90 percent of homes in the United States have smoke detectors, but one-third of those are estimated to have dead or missing batteries.
