We saw the GI Dr. today.  He said that he had pancreatitis, and wanted a MRI/MRCP, which includes the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, and pancreatic ducts.  Couldn't schedule before September 7th.  Marv has felt better the last two days.  Thanks for your prayers and concern.  Molly and Marv

 DEVOTION: 
"Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name."  1 Peter 4:16 
 
When something bad happens to us, what do we usually do?  We complain, don't we?  We like to complain.  In fact, there are some about whom it could be said, "He isn't happy unless he's got something to complain about." 
 
That's not what peter tells us to do.  he tells us to be different.  he tells us to make the most of the opportunity and glorify God in it. 
I have known many people who could have complained and had every reason to complain.  I've known people who had incurable cancer, parents who had lost a child, many who have lost their jobs or their homes.  These people could be bitter, angry, and habitual complainers, but they know that their life doesn't consist in what their time in this world has in store for them.  They know that they are saved by grace through faith. They know that Jesus loves them and that makes all the difference.
 
The Lord encourages you today!  he wants you to know that even though you suffer, the Lord is still with you.  He is in your presence. he loves you with an eternal love.  And one day all suffering will end and you will be in paradise with him.  But until then simply know that you are a forgiven child of God and that is enough to get you through the day!
 
Let us pray: Lord God, I know I am truly blest beyond my own understanding.  Help me to quit complaining about all the little things and instead rejoice in your salvation.  Amen

PRAYERS FOR OUR SERVICEMEN

I have been compiling a list of servicemen who are members of St John's so that we can pray for them.  Below is a list of them and where they are currently stationed.  Please note that their stationing changes quickly, so this may not even be up to date, but it is the last known whereabouts that I have of these guys. 
 
Danny Dreyer-  Army- 2nd Lieutenant- Ranger, GERMANY
 
Sam Hargrove- Army- 2 Lieutenant- Ft Rucker, Alabama, will be going through helicopter flight school and other training
 
David Mincemeyer- Army- Army Specialist- Ft. Carson, CO
 
Jon Rahn- Navy- Hawaii, not sure of his rank at this time
 
David Tate- Air Force- 2nd Lieutenant- Jacksonville, Florida
 
Alex Walters- Navy- E4- Guam
 
Ryan Woolf- Air Force- Airman 1st Class- Buckley Air Force Base, near Denver, CO
 
 
If there are more out there that I just don't know about, please let me know, and I will include him/her on the list.
 
Also, if you would like your family member or friend included in this list, please reply to this email with all the information!
 
 
Pray for these guys.  Some of these guys are in harm's way right now, others are training to put themselves in harm's way.  All of them have volunteered to serve and protect their country (which is you).
