Saturday, November 19

Posted 24 hours ago

Some times in our lives, we will have pain, we will have sorrow. But, if we are wise, we realize theres always tomorrow. Lean on me, when your not strong, I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on. For, it won't be long, til I'm gonna need, somebody to lean on.
I spent a good part of the night singing to him to help manage the pain. I usually try to stay positive in these posts, but this has been an especially long night. These two particular chemo drugs he's getting this go-round usually cause the most discomfort. They have always been the tough ones to get through, but this time -with the radiation being administered simultaneously- is just beating him up. He woke up several times in the night crying out that his legs hurt. His head hurt. The nurse tried one drug after another. He begged me to pick him up and carry him to the emergency room. "You don't understand, I feel like I'm dying. You've got to give me something else!" Once all the possible drugs have been given to ameliorate the pain and he is still in pain, nothing is left but breathing, massage, changing bed positions, distractions and music. It seems we start there and finish there. Holding his hand.
Singing.
Rest your head close to my heart, never to part, baby of mine.

I wish that I could take the pain away. I know how it is to not be able to get comfortable to fall asleep. I have tears in my eyes as I was reading this. Kristin I truly adore you and Jonas. I know it must have been so hard to stay strong. But you know that this too shall pass. And there are brighter days ahead of this.

St. John's Group Email Stand Down help is needed this afternoon at Holy Rosary

The Stand Down is beginning to wind down. They are in big need of help this afternoon to tear down and clean up. The more folks there are the faster it will go. If you can help even just or an hour, just go to Holy rosary and report to someone in charge, preferably Kia Philips. There will be plenty of work to do. Unfortunately I am not able to be there as that is when I am getting ready for and doing worship.

A LOT of people have used the services provided today, and still more to come in the next two hours. All in all it has been a relatively succesful event.

Peace be with you all!
Pastor

St. John's Group Email prayer request from Jan Lucas

Please pray for Jan Lucas' daughter Beth and her family as they have become infected with a staph infection. Beth needs to have surgery today to relieve the pain caused by the staph infection.

St. John's Group Email Warren County Bookcase Project

I am part of a new organization called the Warren County Bookcase Project. It is basically a group who has gotten together to fight against illiteracy in our county which is, still today with all of our advancements in technology and ways to learn, a great problem.

Each four year old in our county's Head Start Program will receive an all oak bookcase (made by volunteers) with 20-30 children's books in it. These are all children that otherwise would not have this opportunity or this blessing.

What we are looking for is Bookcase Club Members who will commit to a $50 donation to build one bookcase for one child. If you make this commitment, you will be invited to a ceremony/awards baquet next Spring at which the children selected will receive their bookcases.

Please let me know asap if you are willing to be a Bookcase Club Member or if you would like to help build the bookcases.

In Christ,
Pastor

St. John's Group Email Wednesday, Nov 16, 2011

DEVOTION:

For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:17

The South Korean woman's brother had been killed during the 1950-1953 war.

Now she, representing her family, has received compensation for his death. The amount which the law has said should come to her is 5,000 won. Won is the currency of Korea. When 5,000 won is translated into U.S. currency, the woman received $4.33.

Now, to be fair, the South Korean officials are embarrassed by the amount. They also say there needs to be a new law enacted for such situations. But until that law is proposed, accepted and implemented, $4.33 is the amount placed on a South Korean soldier's life.

Let me ask, as you look at your children, at your grandchildren -- what value do you place on them? Certainly, more than $4.33. But how much? What is the price you would place on their lives? What would you do or give to keep them safe.

Now if you're wondering why I ask the question, it's because the Heavenly Father asked it of Himself.

Taking a look at sinful Adam and Eve, seeing the generations of transgressors that would come after them, He still said, "I shall send My Son into the world -- not as condemnation for these disobedient children, but to give His life so they might be saved."

I don't know anyone else who would make that choice the way our Lord did. It doesn't make sense to have the innocent die for the guilty. It's not right for the perfect to be destroyed and the flawed to be kept. It's not right and it's not reasonable.

Still that is what our gracious Heavenly Father did, and Jesus followed the plan to the letter.

Examine the Gospels and you will be hard-pressed to find any point in His life where Jesus said, "Wait a minute here, folks! This isn't right. How is it I'm supposed to suffer and be beaten and spit on and be crucified for you guys, who can't do two things in a row without messing it up with some kind of sin."

You can look for Jesus to say that but, if you do, you won't find it.

Scripture says Jesus was about the Father's business, until the time came when He cried from the cross a victorious "It is finished."

And it was.

As the hymn writer says, "A Lamb goes uncomplaining forth, the guilt of all men bearing; and laden with the sins of earth, none else the burden sharing! Goes patient on, grows weak and faint, to slaughter led without complaint, that spotless life to offer."

THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, for doing what we would never do, for sending Your perfect Son to save a sinful world -- we shall always be grateful. Keep us ever mindful of His sacrifice. This I pray in my Savior's Name. Amen.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
YESTERDAY'S QUIZ: In John chapter 16:5-11 the Lord Jesus said that unless He goes the counselor will not come. Who is the "counselor" of whom Jesus speaks? The Holy Spirit

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

CATECHISM:

4th commandment: Honor your father and mother.

Question: What does this mean?

Answer: We should fear and love God so that we do not despise or anger our parents and other authorities, but honor them, serve and obey them, love and cherish them.

STAND DOWN DAY IS THIS SATURDAY

Stand Down will be held November 19, 2011 from 6:30am til 4 pm. Hundreds of homeless veterans will be provided a wide range of necessities including:
They will be greeted with respect and open arms

They will be offered breakfast and coffee and fresh fruit

The VA and EDD will assist with registration

Their immediate physical needs will be addressed:
A visit to the clothing tent
Showers
Barbers
Medical
Dental

There are the many other services:
Homeless court
Counseling
Veterans benefits
Employment and job counseling services
Recovery providers

Shelters
Chaplains services
12-step meetings for everyone

And last but not least meals prepared by VFW, American Legion, Riders, Community Volunteers and supported by God Cares, Holy Rosary, Missouri Career Center Warrenton, and the American LEgion Post 122.

Perhaps most important of all is the feeling of safety. For the first time in possibly days, weeks or even months our homeless brothers and sisters can leave their possessions in the care of others and rest.

Stand Down is a place of miracles. Lives are changed and lives are saved. The founders of Stand Down had a dream. They made it a reality, one which continues to offer a true stand down for all homeless veterans.

Who organizes and delivers these services?

Thousands of caring volunteers and professionals give their time and expertise to address the unique needs homeless veterans.

I would love for veterans in Warren, Lincoln, Montgomery, and St. Charles County to take advantage of this day. There are not many resources in this area for the hurting, hungry and homeless.

If there are any doctors that would like to donate their time to assist with this event, please contact Kia at (636) 697- 7620

St. John's Group Email Bible Study at hendershot's this Friday at 7pm

The Bible Study at the Hendershot's is THIS FRIDAY at 7pm. Try to make it if you are able!

St. John's Group Email Tuesday, Nov 15, 2011

DEVOTION:

Jesus said) "Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion." Luke 10:31-33

Yue Yue (say You-ay) was a little two-year-old girl who lived in China.

She was a modern reincarnation of the Lord's parable of the Good Samaritan -- only without the happy ending.

Yue Yue was hit by a van in the city of Foshan. The driver of the van stopped, paused, and then drove off, leaving the girl in the road.

Surveillance cameras show some bicyclists passing by the injured child, as did another person on a motorcycle and a woman who had her own child. All in all, a dozen people noticed the little girl on the road and passed on by. Yue Yue was eventually brought to safety by a rubbish collector. But that was only after the child had been run over a second time. She died in the hospital some time later.

And the end result of the story?

Some people in China are scandalized by the unconcern of the passers-by, while others are saying, "The laws make it too dangerous to help someone who has been injured."

Scandalized or defensive, the little girl is dead.

It is my hope that Christians would not have acted as did the folks in the surveillance tape. It is my prayer that none of us would uncaringly "pass by on the other side," if we saw such a little girl in distress.

Why?

Because we who had been injured by sin, who were spiritually dying because of our transgressions, have a Savior who stopped to help us. Logically, there was no reason for Him to have done so.

There certainly was no reason for Him to sacrifice Himself, His life, His peace, so we who had rejected His Lordship might be made well. No, there was no reason for Him to make such a gracious sacrifice, but that is exactly what happened.

And now we who have been forgiven, who have been healed and made whole are occasionally offered the opportunity to do for others as He has done for us. Spiritually, physically we need to try and copy the Savior. We need to help and not pass by.

THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, when I had been knocked down by sin, when I was defenseless to help myself, Jesus stopped and did for me what I could not. For His gracious act of saving me, I am grateful. May my gratitude enable me to help others whenever and wherever I can. This I pray in my Savior's Name. Amen.
