Jonas's Updates
Monday, February 5
Posted 4 hours agoDay 8
Today Jonas is showing much improvement. The doctors have turned off his continuous morphine and now he only has the morphine button that he can push when he is feeling break-through pain. Yesterday he stood up several times and is able to lay on his back comfortably again. He has color in his face and the light back in his eyes! I will post a picture of him from last week and one from today.
Yesterday he was given the go-ahead to start ingesting clear fluids if he felt like it, but he elected to wait until today. He started with a Sprite this afternoon and is looking forward to broth for dinner. His weight is down, just under 90 lbs. The first hurdle is to get food through his gut without pain, and the next hurdle is to put some weight on him. They plan to start tube-feeding him tomorrow.
He is moving forward cautiously, still refusing any company. I'm beginning to wonder if we won't be home again before he feels up to it.Send a message

DEVOTION:
(Jesus said) "And blessed is the one who is not offended by Me." Matthew 11:6
"Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures forever" (Psalm 118:29).
"I will be glad to rejoice in You, I will sing praise to Your Name, O Most High" (Psalm 9:2).
Those are just two of the cards passengers on Alaska Airlines used to receive with their meals. I say used to because no longer do passengers in coach get meals. No meals -- no cards. Even so, the passengers in first class still received some vittles and a prayer card.
Until now.
For years Alaska Airlines received far more compliments than it did complaints, concerning the prayer cards. Recently, that has changed, and the number of folks who thought it was inappropriate outweigh those who found it a wonderful practice.
Thus, no more prayer cards on Alaska Airlines.
Now there are any number of things which could be said about that bit of information. For example, I could say, "Thank you, Alaska Airlines," for having done something most airlines would never consider.
Or we could say, "Let's get organized and petition the head honchos at Alaska Airlines to reconsider their decision."
Instead, I would like to make note of a bit of culture and ask you to think about it a bit.
The reason Alaska Airlines did what it did is because somebody got vocal. Those who were offended by the Lord gave voice to their displeasure. At the same time those who liked the practice -- who thought it was a good thing -- forgot to say, "Thank you!"
Maybe they thought the airlines would just keep up the practice. Maybe they thought somebody else would say something. Maybe they just didn't think it was important enough to acknowledge the simple Scripture card. If it's any or all of those (and I'm sure it is), that's a shame.
You know most of us who were raised in a Christian household were taught to give thanks. We were taught to give thanks to the Lord and to each other. It's possible, as we've gotten older, we've forgotten our manners. If that's the case, it's time to get polite. It's time to thank the Lord and people.
Thank the Lord for the salvation His Son has won at the cost of His life. Thank the Lord for His manifold blessings. Thank each other for kindnesses shown, commitments kept.
It's not a big thing, but it's a right thing. We who have been saved by the Christ need to show our appreciation to Him and to each other. Please, give it a try.
THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, how sad it is that the world only knows us by our arguments, fights, disputes and embarrassing acts. May I do what I can, so it can see a Christian can be a thankful, appreciative soul. This I pray in my Savior's Name. Amen._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Greetings, Friends in Christ! You are receiving this because you or someone from your church or group has participated or shown interest in the Community Home Repair Ministry. This ministry is based out of College United Methodist Church in Warrenton, but is open to anyone in our community to participate. Just to refresh your memory, this is a ministry open to any group in our area who has the heart to help others in need and wishes to help a family or individual make their dwelling safer or more livable. We receive referrals through Agape Ministry of Warren County who determines the need of the family or individual and refers them to our group. I receive the referrals at present and we send a couple of individuals to review the projects in advance to determine if it is something that can be done by volunteers with a knowledgeable leader(s). At present, we are not listing projects on the CUMC website and I will begin sending them to those on the above Distribution List. If you do not wish to be on the Distribution List, please let me know. Recent projects have included wheel chair ramps and a roof patching job, but they can vary greatly. With spring just around the corner, the number of referrals may increase. If you or someone from your group has an interest in reaching out to others in the name of Christ by helping in this ministry, we would love to have you participate!! We have also had some projects done by youth groups which can be a great way to involve them in reaching out to our community. We will provide specific information about any of the projects which come along and always let groups look at them before they make a decision to "adopt" a project. Groups adopting projects generally provide the materials and volunteers to complete the project, but occasionally we are able to assist with funding. Please contact me if you or someone in your group has questions or interest in this ministry! We have many good stories of how this ministry has touched the lives of others! Thanks for your time!
In Christ,
Dave Current, College United Methodist Church

DEVOTION:
But He (Christ) said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
When General Lee came up the road toward Gettysburg, there was a German lady named Hannah, who tried to protect her town. She grabbed a broom and stood in the middle of the road to block the Southern Army. With smiles the Confederates gently moved her to the side.
Years later, Hannah explained, "I didn't think I could do anything, but I wanted them to know what side I was on."
Last month, up around Anchorage, Alaska, an 85-year-old lady, Dorothea Murphy showed the world whose side she was on.
Taking his golden retrievers with him, her husband, a retired bush pilot, had gone out for a walk. He hadn't gone far before the dogs alerted, and he spotted a moose. At the same time the moose spotted him.
The husband, George, dove into a snow bank for protection. It didn't help much. The moose started to stomp him.
That's when 97-pound, 5-foot-tall Dorothea went into action. She grabbed a grain shovel and started to hit the moose. She hit the moose in the body and in the head, and the moose beat a retreat.
Understand, hitting a moose with a shovel is not a recommended practice in Alaska -- or anywhere else. Even so, Dorothea felt she had to show whose side she was on.
It was sort of like Moses at Pharaoh's court, King David standing before the giant Goliath or the apostles taking their first steps to bring the story of the Savior's salvation to the Roman world.
Each of these had to show whose side they were on.
I guess anyone who has really seen the commitment and compassion, the surrender and the sacrifice of the Savior cannot remain unmoved. That's why when the chips are down and a challenge presents itself, the Holy Spirit empowers us to action -- to do what is necessary so we might show whose side we are on.
THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, You have told us to take a stand for the Saviors who gave His life, so we might be forgiven and saved. There are times when taking that stand can be mighty intimidating. At such moments, replace our fear with a desire to show the world whose side we are on. This I pray in my Savior's Name. Amen. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
YESTERDAY'S QUIZ: What is an ephod? (I am not sure who was the winner last Thursday, but here is an elongated and not completely correct answer from Pat King)
The word "ephod" has an entirely different meaning in the second group of passages, all of which belong to the historical books. It is certain that the word can not here mean a garment. This is evident in Judges viii. 26-27, where it is recorded that Gideon took the golden earrings of the Midianites, weighing 1,700 shekels of gold, and made an "ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah," where it was worshiped by all Israel. In Judges xvii. 5 Micah made an ephod and teraphim for his sanctuary. I Sam. xxi. 9 records that an ephod stood in the sanctuary at Nob, and that Goliath's sword was kept behind it. In these passages it is clear that something other than a mantle or article of attire is meant. Even where the phrase "to carry" the ephod occurs, it is evident from the Hebrew "nasa'" that reference is made to something carried in the hand or on the shoulder (comp. I Sam. xxiii. 6).
The most natural inference from all these passages is that "ephod" here signifies an image that was set up in the sanctuary, especially since the word is cited with Teraphim, which undoubtedly refers to an image (comp. Hosea iii. 4). This assumption obtains strong confirmation from the fact that in Judges xvii. 3 et seq., which is compiled from two sources, the words "pesel" and "massekah" (graven image and molten image) are used interchangeably with "ephod" and "teraphim."

TODAY'S QUIZ: How many Levites were counted by Moses and Aaron according to their clans, including every male a month old or more? (Hint: It's in the book of Numbers)

Question: Why does God threaten such punishment?
Answer: God threatens such punishment to make us ffear His anger, so that we do not act against His commandments.

YESTERDAY'S QUIZ: What is an ephod? (I am not sure who was the winner last Thursday, but here is an elongated and not completely correct answer from Pat King)
An ephod, is the fore-runner of an iPod. And people call me stupid!
Anyway, according to the Jewish encyclopedia, it has 2 – not 1!! – but 2 meanings. And they should know.
Meaning #1:
In the Old Testament this word has two meanings; in one group of passages it signifies a garment; in another, very probably an image. In the former the ephod is referred to in the priestly ordinances as a part of the official dress of the high priest, and was to be made of threads "of blue and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen," and embroidered in gold thread "with cunning work" (Ex. xxviii. 4 et seq., xxix. 5, xxxix. 2 et seq.; Lev. viii. 7).
Meaning #2:
The most natural inference from all these passages is that "ephod" here signifies an image that was set up in the sanctuary, especially since the word is cited with Teraphim, which undoubtedly refers to an image (comp. Hosea iii. 4). This assumption obtains strong confirmation from the fact that in Judges xvii. 3 et seq., which is compiled from two sources, the words "pesel" and "massekah" (graven image and molten image) are used interchangeably with "ephod" and "teraphim."

St. John's Group Email prayer request and update for Jonas Borchert (grandson of Don Nolte)
Jonas's Updates
Wednesday, February 1
Posted 1 day ago
Jonas has a second infection called Pseudomonas . . . in his port.
It's the same bug as swimmer's ear. The prescription for this infection is simply antibiotics. It is equally as serious as the Typhlitis but not as painful for him. The doctors haven't said as much, but I would imagine it is double duty for his body to combat at this point.
The resident this morning attested to the fact that he will most likely be here for a couple of weeks.
