About White Prairie

The White Prairie is a private prairie restoration project in western Illinois. A former 8-acre crop field was seeded to prairie in June 2004. One-third of the prairie was burned in a controlled burn on April 16, 2008.

The peak blooming period generally occurs the first two weeks of July.

The prairie is located at the private residence of Gerald White.

Once upon a time, Jane was going to get married, and her friend Jemima decided to send them a text message wishing the happy couple well. She thought of the verse that we had in our first reading,
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear”, but, text messages being what they are, she decided just to send the reference: 1 John 4:18. Unfortunately, in her haste, she omitted the “1”, showing that it was John’s letter rather than John’s Gospel, and the verse Jane found when she looked it up in the Gospel read: “For you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband.”

http://bible.us/59/2CO1.8.ESV For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.
