DEVOTION: (This one is actually from me (pastor).

Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honrable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excelllence, if there is anythign worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8

Brothers and sisters of St. John's,

It sure is easy to be negative isn't it. I, along with many of you, have had my share of bad days lately. It seems as though we all have. Most of that is because we have let our circumstances rule how we think, act and live.

My brothers and sisters, this need not be. We have been recreated in Christ by virtue of our baptisms. We are a new creation! The old has gone! The new has come! We don't have to let our circumstances rule who we are! We can let Christ do that! We can be positive people! We can be lights in a dark world! We can share the love of Christ with those who need it! We can forgive those who sin against us.

Last night at our voters meeting, the recommendations of the CARE process were approved by a large majority!

This tells us that the majority of us want to be positive people! We want to affect a positive change on our church and on our community. We want to grow in our relationship with Him and with each other!

I want to assure you that I have already begun working on that within myself. Or I should say, the Holy Spirit has begun working that in me. I have confessed many times to you that I have not always beent he most positive person, and have at times, been quite negative toward others. I have let the circumstances rule over me instead of the Holy Spirit. I can assure you that I am going to do everything I can to affect positive change and be a postive role model and leader for this congregation from this time forward!

But I need your help! I can't do it myself. I am only one person. At last count there are 523 members of St. John's. All of you need to be a positive and constant light for the Gospel in this place as well! Everyone needs to do whatever he or she can to move the Gospel that is in you to the outside so that others can see it clearly.

I also want to ask your help for me personally. As with all of you, it is very easy for me to let the circumstances of life shape me and make me into a person I don't want to become. I need your positive encouragement as well. We all need to ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER in the Gospel!

As we move forward with these recommendations let us always keep the Gospel before us! Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us! Let us strive to be lights in a dark world so that the Holy Spirit can work freely among us!

Prayer: Lord God, help us all to move forward in the light of your truth that we all may know more and more the power of Your love. Amen.

NEW BIBLE STUDIES

One thing that I took to heart from the meeting last night is that we all need to be in the WORD of God more! To me this means Bible studies in both small and large groups!

I would like to start some and I would like some of you to start some on your own with others, but I need to know when the best times and places would be for you all to do so! It does no good to try to start a Bible study that no one can come to.

Please reply with your suggestions!

DEVOTION:

Jesus said) "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

Dakota Meyer.

I hope you remember his name.

When his buddies were pinned down in Afghanistan, he asked for permission to go in and get them. He was told it was too dangerous. He asked a second time, a third and a fourth. Each time he was told it was too dangerous.

After the fourth ask, Meyer went in anyway. He says, "That's what brothers do for each other." Firing at the enemy from a Humvee, Meyer and his driver were the targets for fire from AK-47s, machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars. When they came across some Afghan fighters, they loaded them up and got them to safety.

Although he and his comrade had done all -- and more -- than anyone could expect, they went back in. Meyer said, "I didn't think I was going to die. I knew I was going to die." Well, he didn't die the second time they entered the kill zone -- nor the third, or the fourth or the fifth. By the time they managed to get to the four Americans who had been pinned down, they had been killed. Even so, Meyer risked his life bringing out their bodies.

For his valor, Dakota Meyer has been given the Medal of Honor. One of the guests at the White House ceremony said he is "the epitome of the word, 'hero.' God bless him. I could not think of a finer thing for one human being to do for another than what he did."

I almost agree.

I say almost because I can think of something finer. While the Bible says, "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends," Jesus gave up His life for those who despised Him, had plotted against Him, had betrayed Him and orchestrated His death.

But there's more. Jesus died carrying the sins of every man, woman and child who ever lived. Indeed, He died carrying our sins.

And while I am glad that Dakota Meyer was wrong -- and he lived -- for Jesus there was no such hope. The prophets had spoken of His death, and His own Father had said His innocent Son would pay the ransom price for our salvation.

Greater love has no one than this, which is why I also pray that you remember the Name, Jesus.

THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, that I, a sinner, would be the recipient of Jesus' love is a great and wonderful mystery. For His sacrifice on Calvary's cross and His third day resurrection from the borrowed tomb, I shall always be grateful. May my life reflect that gratitude. This I pray in my Savior's Name. Amen.

DEVOTION: ... This is what the Lord has commanded. If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. Numbers 30:1b-2

There is an organization in Massachusetts called the Brookline Political Action for Peace.

I'm not entirely sure why they tacked the words "for peace" onto their name since their agenda is probably going to bring about a lot of things, and peace isn't likely to be one of them.

And what is the agenda of the Brookline Political Action for Peace (BPAFP)? It's simply this: they want the city's town meeting to urge the local school committee to stop requiring principals to have the Pledge of Allegiance recited during morning announcements.
According to the BPAFP, the pledge has

1. no educational value, and is

2. a loyalty oath reminiscent of McCarthyism or some horrific totalitarian regimes, and is

3. at odds with America's most important traditions.

Wow! All those bad things in that short little Pledge of Allegiance.

The next thing you know, somebody is going to take a shot at hot dogs, apple pie and motherhood. After all, hot dogs have chemicals, and apple pie is fattening and motherhood is ... well, I can't think of anything negative to say about motherhood.

Understand, I'm not a believer in the idea of "my country, right or wrong, my country." On the other hand, I believe -- and the Lord suggests -- that there are principles and higher callings to which a person can and probably ought to align himself.

Even Jesus, as He began His last hours of suffering for our redemption, committed Himself to a higher duty than His own personal preference when He prayed ... "not My will, but Thy will be done" (Luke 22:42b).

Please understand, I'm not ignoring the words of James who said our "yes" or "no" ought to be sufficient. I am saying the Lord recognizes the prayerful promises of His faithful people, and so does our nation.

And if pledging faithfulness to a nation which is under God is a bad thing for our country's children, I feel sorry for them and the nation, which is just my way of saying ...

old Ben Franklin was right when he said, "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."

And that's true for church, as well as country.

THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, in this life there are things which ought to command respect and loyalty, things to which a person should be aligned. May our children find -- under Your guidance -- that this nation is worthy of their allegiance. This I ask in the Savior's Name. Amen. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Posted 21 hours ago

Hello from Houston. Jonas is thriving!!
I'm sorry I have not posted in a couple of weeks. Time seems to have just flown by. A combination of computer glitches, family dynamics, and new routines have kept me from posting like I had in the past. All that behind me, I will try to do a better job keeping everyone upt-to-date. We are now settled into a Marriott Property and have a base-camp to call our own. I think there were several people who had offered us Marriott points at one time. The hotel we stayed at originally would not accpet Marriotte points, so I did not record those offer like I should have. But this one does! So if you have any points we can use, that would be greatly appreciated.
Jonas has another round of chemo behind him and gets admitted on Thursday for three days for the next round. He has made it between every round of chemo here without going into the hospital for infection or neutropenia. Today was the first time that he needed a blood transfusion since we have been here, but he took it like a champ in an outpatient setting.
The doctor did explain to me recently that with cancers that are treated over this long a period of time, patients can expect to have many, many transfusions. They really like to keep those to an absolute minimum because the body can start to reject the new blood: something we do not want to happen. So far we have had NO adverse reactions. Smooth sailing.
Along with our chemo schedule, Jonas has had various other appointments with specialists. Most recently he had a five-hour psych test to evaluate his knowledge, logic, recall, etc.. The radiation that he is about to get may have an impact on his brain function and they want to be able to have a baseline to compare it to. His facilitator says that he is operating at high-level of skill which is a great way to start out, if there is any possibility of impairment. I am not terribly worried about this possibility. We have met two patients in the pediatric clinic who have undergone proton therapy in and around the brain. Both of them have had extremely uneventful episodes with the PT. No discomfort. No new side affects. No brain damage. I anticipate that we will find it to be the same.
Jonas has had several packages delivered to him since we arrived, containing dozens and dozens of letter from his classmates at school!!!! Wow. You can't believe what that does for this guys spirit. The first two he opened happened to be from kids he knew: Emily Tilotson and John Hogan. He was so jazzed, he just tore through the next dozen or so saying, "I don't even know most of these kids and they are writing to me anyway. Aw that is so nice!" He was really impressed by some of the artwork the kids drew for him, Shae Buffington and Sheldon, great stuff. Alyssa and Bobbie Nesselroad, Jonas says hello and thanks. He misses you too. Mr. Eaton, Jonas says, Hi.hi.hi.hi.....and then keeps laughing. He thought that card was a hoot!! We have several of them sitting out on the table for decoration and I plan to put some up on the wall. Whenever we have some down time he just rereads them and they really perk him up. I understand that more are coming, and he is really looking forward to that.
This past weekend, Joel came to visit for his birthday. 55! Saturday, the three of us drove down to Galveston (which wasn't even an hour's drive) to see the ocean. It was a lovely day. We walked the Strand, which is the main street of the old downtown, had ice cream at La King (an amazing old-fashioned candy shop), and watched a movie about the hurricane in 1900 that killed over 2500 people in Galeveston. We also went to Stewart Park and walked the beach looking for pebbles and shells. Jonas was a bit disappointed. He wanted so badly to play in the surf but he can't fully submerge because of his G-tube. We did get some fun pictures and I will try to post them tomorrow. It was a wonderful day and a great weekend.
I owe a big thank you to my Uncle Chuck who sent me a Forwarded Email about pharmacies. This article was about how we get scammed not only by insurance companies, but also by pharmacies. Some pharmacies mark up their drug prices (even generic) by as much as 1500% --which is why Walgreens can afford to put up a building every 10 miles. As it turns out, the article said, Costco has remarkable policy compared to all other pharmacies....they just don't do that mark up thing. And it is not just for their "members". ANYONE can get prescriptions filled at Costco. At least that is what the article said. (In our family we do that forwarding thing a lot. So I checked the information validity on Snopes.com which verified this as TRUE. Then I went to the Costco website myself to see if I could get pricing details on Jonas' meds.) As it turns out, this article was right on the money!!! I couldn't get the website to give me prices on ALL his meds, but one of them that I pay $630 for at the hospital pharmacy, I can get for $67! Same strength and same number of pills!!! I tell you this because when I find a money saver this big I think EVERYONE should know about it. I feel bad that I haven't price shopped pharmacies. I simply thought they were all the same. I don't know if there are others somewhere this low, but I don't think I have to look any further. Simply amazing. Thank you again, Uncle Chuck. If all of Jonas' other medications are that low, you litteraly saved us thousands and thousands of dollars. Knowledge is power.
I'm off to bed now, but wanted you all to know....
We feel your love and support across the miles.
Thank you. It sustains us and keeps us going.
I will write again tomorrow.

It is so great to hear from you and know that things are going well! You guys are always on our mind. It is amazing to be out and about and see so many people sporting the Fight the Fight bracelets and t-shirts. You are such an inspiration to all. We attended a Royals autograph session the other night and sure enough, Hosmer was sporting his bracelet as well. On that same note, could you please post your base-camp address . . . we have a little something to send. Missing you guys and sending our love.

DEVOTION:   For My people are foolish; they know Me not; they are stupid children; they have no understanding. They are 'wise' -- in doing evil! But how to do good they know not. Jeremiah 4:22

Using the prophet Jeremiah as His spokesman, God looked at His sinful, rebellious people and said they were "'wise' in doing evil."

It appears the children of Israel had a head start on a man from D'leberville, Mississippi.

The UPI reports that employees from the Winn Dixie store in that town reported Nathan Hardy to the police. They said they were sure he was shoplifting from the store.

He was.

When the police showed up, Hardy made a run for it. He ran, but he tripped and was arrested. Only when he was in their custody did the police discover the magnitude of the man's crimes. In case you haven't read the story, I'll tell you what Hardy took.

Hardy took two live lobsters. This he did by stuffing them into the front pockets of his shorts. Then Hardy, not yet satisfied, took some bags of shrimp and a pork loin. These he placed into the waistband of his shorts.

It was a crime which was wrong on any number of different levels.

Let us merely say that Nathan Hardy has not shown himself to be one of the folks who are 'wise' in doing evil.

Of course, from God's perspective, all evil doing is unwise. It was unwise when Adam and Eve took the forbidden fruit. Since they had no shorts to hide what they were doing, they ate that fruit on the spot and brought death and damnation upon the world.

Not very wise, was it?

Nor are the sins we commit. We can't hide them; we can't get rid of them; we can't save ourselves from them.

So that we might be rescued, the Heavenly Father sent His Son into this world. In an unprecedented act of grace, the Lord gave His only-Begotten so we unwise sinners can be forgiven and adopted into the family of faith.

It is my prayer you know those truths already ... and that you are not one of the foolish who reject the Savior and depend upon your own wisdom in getting by without Him.

THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, unwise Nathan has ended up in the Harrison County Adult Detention Center. That place may be a bad one, but it is a palace compared to the place the unwise, unsaved sinners of this world are going to. Before it is too late -- and while they yet have time -- I pray they may see that true wisdom comes in acknowledging Jesus is their Savior. In His Name I pray. Amen.
