County board hears potential plans for Phase 1 construction project

At the Yellow Medicine County Commissioners meeting in January, one of the topics of discussion was a proposal from Wold Architects for Phase 1 of a construction project on the Yellow Medicine County Highway Department. The building, located on 13th Street in Granite Falls, houses the department responsible for blading and adding surface to gravel roadways, patching, shouldering, crack filling, and seal coating bituminous roadways as well as mowing and weed spraying roadsides, traffic control sign installation and maintenance and pavement markings, and in winter, snow and ice control and removal.

“…to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8)

Many years ago, when I was trying to change some things in my life, I had to learn that I was powerless. Ouch! I thought that I had to have the power to make it day by day. When I was told I had to accept that I was powerless, I thought to myself, they just don’t get it. I’m barely hanging on and they want me to drop! It took a long time to catch on, but I came across what Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.”
