Simple BUT powerful word

.
This picture was taken from our front porch on a Monday. Just by looking at it, you would guess it was taken sometime last winter, but that was not the case. I took it yesterday April 21. Welcome to spring time in Wyoming, but I am not complaining because last year at this time we had 2 feet of snow, that's right feet not inches.

Another but is this Lands'End catalog we just received featuring swim suits and I am putting on two layers of clothes just to stay warm.
This is one of the few times I could almost (just almost) wish Al Gore was right about Global Warming, which he is not at least to the extent he teaches.

The use of "but" usually entails a disagreement or disappointment with the current situation or statement being made. It is often used when we want to avoid doing something or changing an opinion, not a good usage.

I like the way Peter used "but" in Luke 5:4-5. His usage is a positive one - I don't want to do what you say, but I will because you say it.

I guess I am easily impressed with word usage, but I will stop here.
