St. John's Group Email update on Marvin Rahn (Jim Rahn's dad)

 

My dad is home from the hospital. The VA decided he did not need therapy. He says he has allot of pain from the tube they inserted from his brain to his abdomen. Most of it is localized in his neck. It's giving him terrible headaches. His doctor says this will last for at least the next five weeks. That being said, he is much more coherent and aware than he has been in the last year. He no longer slurs his speech. He's also impatient and aggravated. For him, that's normal. I'm praying that the pain will be relieved and that the progress continues.

 

Thanks,

Jim Rahn

St. John's Group Email Update on Robyn McNew's brother Ken Meyer

We had a scare last night. Ken's kidneys and liver were shutting down. They got it under control with fluids and antibiotics. Moved to different room, but might move back today. Told nurse his name this morning. They are still trying to get the meds regulated so he is awake, but relaxed. He has been out of it for a few days. Hoping today is better.

St. John's Group Email Incoming seminarians need furniture

Just wanted to pass some info along and a really good way to find a "place to live" for any of our very gently used and maintained furniture and applicances.

 

Since "Call Day" at the Sem was May 4th.  We have many young brand new pastors (and alot of wives) getting ready to move to the cities of their "first" calls.  Many of them are beginning to search for some furniture and applicances for their new homes.  So...if you know of anyone remodeling their kitchens and wanting to sell or give away their appliances to make way for new - OR,  redecorating and wanting to make way for new furniture, lamps etc., They may want to consider sending a picture and a description of the item(s) they have to the "Life Transitions Office" at our St.Louis Concordia Seminary.  The person to contact would be Laura Moehlman.  

 

Her email is: 

Laura Moehlman <moehlmanl@csl.edu

 

 Keep in mind to only give those items which are only being discarded because they want something new and/or different in their homes - not because they are way out of date or in disrepair. 

 

 

 

 

St. John's Group Email trivia night canceled

Hi Pastor,

 

I have been talking with Ruth and we decided since only two tables of people have signed up for the trivia night, it would be best to cancel the event.  There is quite a bit going on that day with Les Sherman's memorial and Laney Woolf singing at the bookstore so if you could put out an email letting everyone know of the cancellation we would appreciate it.  Encourage everyone to go hear Laney sing at 7p.m.

 

Thanks,

Lois Boeger

St. John's Group Email prayer request from the Woolfs

Pastor, Billy's niece's boyfriend, Brett Gibbs, could use some prayers. He was burned severely today. He was airlifted to Barnes. He is on life support. He is in his 20's and has a 6 day old baby. Thanks.

DEVOTION from Lutheran Hour Ministries.
... The wind shall carry them away, and the tempest shall scatter them. And you shall rejoice in the LORD; in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory. Isaiah 41:16b

A few weeks ago most of us didn't know what EF5 stood for.

Now we know, and we wish we didn't. Now we know an EF5 is the biggest, nastiest, most destructive tornado that can be measured. At least one of the tornadoes that hit the southern states last month was rated an EF5. As the others are evaluated, it is expected they will be awarded a similar unpleasant rating.

Because we have seen the pictures and films we also know that any tornado -- no matter what the rating -- has the ability to flatten homes, turn a community upside down and mess with plans, hopes, families, futures and lives.

What some are not sure of is why?

Why do such storms happen and why do they hurt so many good people? We want to know if God has the power to stop such things, why doesn't He? Surely a caring God could do that, couldn't He? These are the kinds of questions that can sometimes shake a Christian's faith.

This is why some answers need to be given. First, you should know these things happen because this is a sinful world and a sinful world produces terrible things. When good people get in the path of a terrible thing, especially an EF5 tornado, they will get hurt.

And why doesn't the all-powerful God stop these tornadoes? It's certainly not because He doesn't care, He does care. Although every storm like this does produce stories of miraculous deliverances, generally the Lord does not directly and miraculously intervene. Generally the Lord, who has called this world's laws into being, lets those laws function unchanged.

Does that sound like He doesn't care? If so, look at the manger of Bethlehem; look at the scourged Savior; stand before Calvary's cross. Never think, not for a moment, that God doesn't care. So we might escape the eternal penalties of sin, Jesus lived, died and rose.

Because of what Jesus has done, an EF5 doesn't have the final word in the lives of God's people.

Never! And that deliverance is the handiwork of a caring God.

THE PRAYER: Father in heaven, we come to You and ask that You will send an extra measure of the Holy Spirit upon those whose lives have been upset and torn apart by these tornadoes. Be with all those who are trying to recover from a disaster. Be with them and let them see that Jesus is the Victor over sin and sin's worst actions. In the Name of the Lord Jesus I pray it. Amen

DEVOTION from Lutheran Hour Ministries.
Jesus said) "... And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Matthew 28:20b

I tried. I really tried.

For years I've resisted speaking about Britney Spears, Madonna and so many other folks in the media. I have even resisted hopping on board the Kate and William wedding bandwagon.

Until now.

Maybe you, like me, have been amazed at the feeding frenzy that has surrounded Kate's dress. If you were to believe the TV folks doing the color commentary, there were three people at that wedding: Kate, the dress and, running a distant third, William.

From the moment the dress was revealed to the estimated 2 billion people who were watching, it has been praised, honored, criticized and vilified. At this point in time I know more about the dress than I know about some of my first cousins.

It's been said that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. If that's true, Kate ought to feel very flattered. After all, her example is being followed by many. Right now, even as you are reading this devotion, in factories around the globe, reproductions of the dress are being made for the world's would-be princesses.

All of this makes me wonder ... will buying a special dress -- even a perfect copy of the dress -- bring about happiness and fulfillment?

If you readers know the answer to that question, you are ahead of many. Those who watched the wedding, those who gasped at the millions that were spent, those who were awed by all the pomp and pageantry are being led to think happiness is found in frills and externals.

Sadly, time will show the glitz and glitter -- as impressive as they may be -- don't have the ability to deliver that which we need if we are to be truly content and complete.

Yes, they may give a person a heady high, but that feeling is transient. To receive that which is of lasting value we need to go to Jesus. Only the One who gave His life upon Calvary's cross is able to give us the peace that passes all understanding.

And why is that? Only Jesus' blood can offer us the forgiveness of sins. Only the presence of the Christ can comfort us when we are ready to die. Only the Redeemer can promise to lead us safely through the valley of the shadow.

And only Jesus can keep His promise to be with us always. You remember His promise. It's one that says He will be with us in sickness and health, in richer and for poorer, for far longer than you and I both shall live.

THE PRAYER: Father in heaven, accept my thanks for a Savior who is keeping His promises to be with us and watch over me. May I turn to Him for the genuine peace that passes understanding, the peace which the world cannot give. This I ask in the Name of the Christ. Amen.

YESTERDAY'S QUIZ: According to Psalm 139, what does God know?  He knows when we sit down and when we rise, he perceives my thoughts from afar, he knows my going out and lying down, he is familiar with all my ways.  Before a word is on my tongue he knows it completely.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
TODAY's QUIZ: To what tune is Psalm 22 set?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
CATECHISM:
Question: How is human reason to be used in understanding Scripture?
Answer: 
A.  It is given in human language.  To determine what it says we need to apply the rules of language, such as grammar and logic.  It is right to use reason as a servant of the text, but the guidance of the Holy SPirit is essential for its proper understanding. 
 
B. Unlike all other books, Holy Scripture is God's Word and truth.  It is wrong to question or deny the truthfulness of the sacred text.

St. John's Group Email another update on Robyn McNew's brother Ken Meyer

 

Seems the meds are working. Ken was talking up a storm to us last night, saying things like "It's very difficult to relax", "I want to go home" and something we've all wondered at times: "does anyone here have any knowledge?" He has not talked to the doctors at all, so no wonder they don't believe us about his state of mind…..Hoping he says that to the doctors in the morning!

DEVOTION from Lutheran Hour Ministries.

Jesus said) "And what I say to you I say to all: 'Stay awake.'" Mark 13:37 Last week on a flight to Chicago, I sat next to a "white-knuckler." For those of you who don't know, a white-knuckler is a person who is terrified to fly. Me, I'm usually asleep before we taxi away from the gate and I wake up when we land. Knowing I can't do anything in the unlikely situation something goes wrong I usually take a catnap. On the other hand, I expect others -- others who are in control of my immediate future -- to stay awake. One of the people I'd like to have awake and alert is the pilot; the other is the air-traffic controller. This is why the reports about controllers and pilots sleeping have been rather disturbing. The Wall Street Journal says there are any number of reasons to explain why a controller might drift off to lullaby land: too many hours, too much stress, working in a darkened room, periods of intense commotion followed by hours of inactivity -- they all can contribute to an individual falling asleep. Even so, there is nothing more important than for the controller to stay awake and alert. Lives depend on them staying awake. It occurs to me that the same holds true for us. We need to stay spiritually awake. Indeed, in the text above Jesus tells us we need to be watchful; we need to be ready for that unknown hour when He returns. To spiritually fall asleep, to be ignorant or oblivious to the great grace we have been given through Jesus' life, suffering, death and resurrection is incredibly dangerous. Indeed, to fall asleep on that job doesn't just jeopardize our eternal home. It guarantees we will crash. This is why, in spite of the world's distractions and regardless of the devil's temptations, there is nothing more important for us than to be prepared for the day of personal or global judgment. So to you and to all who see these words, we pass on the Savior's advice and encouragement: "Stay awake." THE PRAYER: Dear Lord Jesus, You have done all that is necessary to save me. Now I pray that I, along with the rest of the world may value Your gift. Keep us awake so our last day on earth may be a blessed one. In Your Name I ask it. Amen.

In Christ I remain His servant and yours, Pastor Ken Klaus Speaker Emeritus of The Lutheran Hour Lutheran Hour Ministries Forward this devotion to a friend Support this Ministry Visit The Lutheran Hour Learn more about Pastor Klaus

MISSION FOR THE MONTH OF MAY IS AGAPE
 
We have supported this organization for many years, ever since Pastor Langhoff along with a concerned group of individuals organized it and got it going back almost 20 years ago. 
 
This year is a little different because two of their usual grants were denied this year totalling $145,000.  They are in desperate need of funds and support. 
 
Anything you can provide will be a blessing to them and to the hundreds and even thousands of people they serve.

QUESTIONAIRES MAILED MONDAY
As most of you know our church is going through a time that we call the CARE process.  CARE stands for Congregational Assessment and Renewal.  It is a time that we can take a step back and look at things that are going on in our church, assess what is good and bad, work on fixing the bad, reconcile and restore broken relationships, emphasize the good, and grow together as a congregation. 
 
We took the first step last Wednesday night with the congregational meeting, at which Pastor Gene Wyssmann and Ken Wesemann led us through the process and introduced different ways of thinking about our church and also how the process will work.  
 
TODAY OR TOMORROW each communicant member of the church  will get a questionnaire/survey in the mail (If there are four communicant members in yoru household you will get four surveys) that is two pages in length and will require your thought and input.  It will come with a self addresses and stamped envelope that will get mailed directly to Pastor Wyssmann who will collate all of the information he recieves, discuss it with Pastor Wesemann and President Mirly and then come back to St. John's to give us recommendations on how to move forward. 
 
I urge you to complete the survey and send it in.  It is vital to the health and growth of the church that you do so. 
 
God bless you as you contemplate the questions and answer them thoroughly.

St. John's Group Email update on Robyn McNew's brother Ken Meyer

They've prescribed some medication to help Kenny, which we feel will help him get back on the road to recovery. He just started taking it today, so we will see how it goes in the days to come. He may be moving to St. Johns Mercy Rehab hospital, but not sure when.

 

You are all so wonderful! We are blessed to have relatives and friends like you!

 

I'm soooo tired. If anybody wants to come and do yardwork, laundry and house cleaning for me, you are welcome J just kidding!

 

Robyn
