St. John's Group Email Wednesday, July 13, 2011
The other day a pastor gave me hail. You know the icy stuff that falls from the sky.
Well, actually, he didn't give me hail; he sent me a picture of hail. This particular hail was about the size of a softball. It's the kind of hail you would be wise to avoid. But this hail was notable for more than its size. This hail had nasty looking icy spikes growing out of it. For all the world it looked like the end of a medieval mace.
As part of his e-mail, the good reverend asked, "What's next?"
It was a good question.
In the Pacific, earthquakes and related tsunami warnings have become regular occurrences. Industrial Japan has seen its economy knocked about by an earthquake and a close call with a few nuclear reactors.
In Europe airlines are sending their planes by different routes because of volcanic ash.
What's next?
Just about everywhere I've gone this spring and summer, people have been asking the question, "What's next?"
In some places, Iowa corn, which is often shoulder high by the Fourth of July, is now on its third replanting. There are rivers flooding which normally would be dry, and places which have always been green through the summer have been burnt to a crisp.
Half of Joplin, Missouri, is missing; Minot, North Dakota, is under water, and St. Louis has set a record for tornado warnings.
What's next? I don't know.
I do know the Lord is still there. I know He who gave His Son as the ransom price for our soul's salvation is still there. He's still watching out for us. He's still by our side.
What's next? I don't know ... but Isaiah had an inkling. This is what the prophet wrote in the 43rd chapter:
But now thus says the Lord, He who created you, O Jacob, He who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. ... Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you. I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Do not withhold; bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the end of the earth, everyone who is called by My Name, whom I created for My glory, whom I formed and made.
What's next -- possibly troubles but most certainly there will always be the presence and comfort of our caring God of grace.
THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, we pray that You will bring seasonable weather upon the nations of the world. Be with those who make their living by the soil and upon the sea. Grant them a suitable harvest reflective of their hands' labor. Lord, we don't know what is going to come, but we pray we may recognize Your presence, care and support in whatever may happen. This we pray in our Savior's Name. Amen.

NEWS:
It's Time to start thinking about our MEN'S RETREAT!!
The ninth annual T-3 Men's Retreat is set for Friday-Sunday, September 23-25, 2011. This promises to be another great experience for the men of St John's and other Lutheran congregations in the St. Charles area. In fact, men from all over the metro area have joined this special time in the past. Men 18 years of age or older are eligible and they need not be Lutheran to attend. The retreat will be held at Mark Twain State Park at the Si Coburn Group Camp. This is a beautiful setting for a weekend of adventure and growth. The theme of this year's retreat is "Respectable Sins" and the study times during the retreat will be spent exploring the areas of our lives where we have come to accept less than God might want from us.
The retreat will feature great food and a lot of activities A scramble golf tournament, fishing tournament, trap and skeet shooting competition, and euchre tournament all take place on Saturday morning. If none of these interest you, you may choose to spend time reading, hiking , biking, site seeing, or napping. Prizes are awarded to tournament winners at dinner on Saturday evening. Campfires on Friday and Saturday nights provide the opportunity to get to know others better under the stars. Music is a big part of the camp experience and you will enjoy hearing and singing familiar songs with the 100+ men who typically attend. The culminating worship service on Sunday morning is a special time of praising God for all His gifts to us and a great way to prepare us to return to our homes and lives.
The cost of the retreat is only $42 and this includes meals and a commemorative tee-shirt. Attendees have the option of staying in group cabins or tent camping on the grounds at no additional charge. You can even arrange to stay in a local motel near the camp at reduced rates if you like.
A brochure with all information and a registration form will be available soon in the narthex. You can also register online at www.t3mensretreat.org using PayPal. It is really easy and you can see pictures of the camp and facilities there, too.
This is the year for you to go to the T-3 (trap-tackle-tees) Retreat. Sign up, meet new friends, bring old friends, and join in the fun of growing your faith. For more information, contact Don Hugo at Zion –636 441-7425 ext 246 or home 636 441-9954.
"Kid friendly" meals will be provided from 5:30-6:00,festivities begin at 6pm, and end around 8:15pm.
Kids will explore a few of the many miracles of Jesus by becoming "stars" in the stories.

Goliath dismissed David because he was a mere youth; Goliath made a big mistake.
New Castle, Pennsylvania's Jerry Brown Jr. dismissed an 89-year-old woman when he stole her friend's purse. His was also a big mistake.
Now it's true, this lady didn't have David's sling and three, smooth stones taken from a riverbed. On the other hand, she did have her cane.
Stones or cane, both can come in handy when bringing down a bad guy.
This lady rather than standing there looking all frail and helpless gave a whack to Brown's getaway car. She gave it such a whack she scratched the paint and left a dent in the vehicle. Between the dent, the scratch and the description of the robbers, the New Castle police were soon able to arrest Brown and an accomplice, Tatiana Vargas.
Over the years I've noticed the forces of evil tend to dismiss and discount God's people. We don't look like much; we don't sport halos like the saints do in the artists' depictions and most of us don't perform miracles.
Even so, God's people, the young and old, the weak and the frail can accomplish great things when they put their trust in the Lord. According to Scripture, it was in the Lord -- not those stones -- that David placed his trust. Indeed, he said as much to Goliath when he shouted, "You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the Name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied."
Now I don't know which evil giant is coming against you.
I don't know what force of evil is going to try and intimidate you, frighten, bully and terrorize you.
I do know that when you stand by the side of the Lord, you need not be afraid. Indeed, as St. Paul said, it is because of the crucified and risen Savior's victory that the Lord's saved people are "... more than conquerors through Him who loved us" (Romans 8:37b).
Even when they're up against Goliaths.
THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, God of grace, today I give thanks. All around me there are forces of evil. They would undermine my faith and paralyze me into inaction. May I, trusting in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, move forward in faith. May I give to all a witness that in Christ God's people are conquerors. In the Savior's Name. Amen. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CATECHISM: You shall have no other gods.
Question: Who is the only true God?
Answer: The only true God is the triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three distinct persons in one divine being (the Holy Trinity).

St. John's Group Email Update on Ruth Cantrell
Friends and Family
The operation went real well yesterday. As they had to remove a part of her bowel along with the tumor it will be some time before she comes home. She is at St Joseph West room 2253. Right now she is not feeling well and is on a lot of pain medication. In a few days she should feel well enough for visitors.
Remember to keep Ruth in you thoughts and prayers.
That's all I have for now.

St. John's Group Email Wednesday, July 6, 2011
| He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD. Proverbs 18:22 Pastor Abel, the man who confirmed me, liked to throw out little bits of wisdom. One of those bits pastor shared with his confirmands was "Marry in haste, repent at leisure." While I can't remember Gilbert Herrick sitting next to me in that class, I'm sure he must have. I'm sure, because, if anyone took that expression seriously, it has to be Herrick. Let me explain. For a considerable period of time Herrick has been looking for a wife. He's spent plenty of time checking out the prospects, looking over the field, but he just never made that long walk down the aisle. Not wanting to have any of that "repent at leisure" stuff, Herrick promised himself he wouldn't get married until he met the right woman. And he didn't meet that right woman ... not until now. Herrick met Virginia in a hospital hallway. After that chance encounter, they started meeting every day. Soon love bloomed and recently Gilbert Herrick, World War II veteran and retired postal worker, was united in holy matrimony with Virginia Hartman. True, some have said that Herrick, who is 99 years old, has robbed the cradle by getting hitched to 86-year-old Hartman. They can say what they want, but Herrick knows she's the right gal. When I first read that story I thought isn't that cute! But as I thought about it, the love story started to take on a deeper meaning for me. When Pastor Abel talked to us about "repenting at leisure," it was a different world. Back then you stuck with the person you were married to ... no matter how unhappy you were. Today it's different. Divorce is in and long-term suffering is out. But ... there are many of us who count ourselves blessed to have the helpmeet we do. Many of us, like Herrick, have been given just the right gal or guy. This, too, is a gift from the Lord. This is why, if you haven't done so, won't you give thanks to the Lord for putting such an individual into your life. And while you're doing so, you might want to include an extra prayer for another most special individual. Give thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ, God's Son, your Savior. Give thanks for the world's Redeemer whose love turns pale all others, which we will ever know. THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, for having sent wonderful people into this world who love me, I give thanks. But I also pray for those who feel unloved. May they soon be surrounded by supporters. Most of all I give thanks for Jesus who has given the greatest love of all. In His Name. Amen. |

Tim Rutkowski, prosecutor for Michigan's Huron County, doesn't often bring charges against seven-year-old boys.
No, he doesn't do it often, but that doesn't mean he doesn't do it at all.
As proof, I point you to a unique event that took place a few weeks ago when, as a caring civil servant, he charged a little boy with the unlawful use of a vehicle. In this case the vehicle was the family car. Hitting speeds of more than 50 miles per hour, the boy drove more than 20 miles before the police stopped him.
The officers who were there said that when they looked into the vehicle, the lad was crying. The boy, who is being raised by his mother and a foster father, kept saying, "I want to go to my dad's."
So strong was the boy's desire to be with his dad, the county prosecutor wanted to make sure nothing was wrong in his home. That's why he filed the charges.
Now you know and I know that little boy was wrong and foolish. Along with many other mistakes he had endangered his life and that of others. Yes, the boy did many things wrong, but he did one thing right: he had an overwhelming, all-consuming desire to see and be with his father.
It occurs to me the Psalmist was describing the same kind of intense relationship with the Lord when he wrote the verse that serves as the theme for our devotion. He said, "My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God."
When I read that verse I wondered how many people really feel that way about the Lord. Reluctantly, I think the percentage is probably pretty small.
And although there are probably many reasons, one of the greatest difficulties is most folks seldom stop to think about what the Lord has done for them. The Father's love which reaches out to disobedient sinners, the Savior's blood-sealed sacrifice which pays the price to buy us back from our abductors, the Holy Spirit's patient calling and continuous encouragement are all obvious signs of God's great grace.
Every day in a multitude of ways the Lord shows the intensity of His caring. At the same time, through difficulties, intrusions, pains, challenges and seductions, the world tries to cloud and cover that grace so we don't see it, so our souls don't long for God's love.
This is why this Daily Devotion encourages you to take a few moments and see if you -- like the little boy -- want to be with your Father, Your Savior, the Spirit. If you do not yearn to be with the Person who loves you more than anyone, then take some time to remember and consider His faithful, ongoing gifts to you.
THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, help me appreciate all You have done to save me. Accept this gratitude and let my thankfulness daily increase. This I ask in Jesus' Name. Amen.
