St. Paul's Lutheran Church ST. J. (Every Day Miracles)

Greetings, members are friends! I pray you are all doing well. With so much going on in our Nation, I thank God we have our hope and faith in Jesus Christ! We would be open next Sunday, January 17th, but we have to push that back a couple of weeks until the 1st Sunday in February. A couple of reasons: Since the holidays, the covid numbers have jumped in our county, as have hospitalizations. As per the Synod, we should remain closed a couple of weeks to see if those ...numbers come down. The main concern is that we are running out of room at our hospitals. We live in a rural area, and our local hospitals are small and have their limits (though they are doing an AMAZING job!) My Lupus symptoms have been slowly getting worse for weeks now. I have waited way too long to go to the doctor. I will be getting blood work done and then a treatment. That will put me out of commission for 2-3 weeks. I know I can't wait any longer, and I thank you for your prayers and understanding. These are challenging times for us all. Tempers are short, stress high. People are losing their patience and compassion. But our God is faithful, and in Him, we are His Church on earth. I will continue to send out the weekly service via email and on Facebook. If you need anything, do not hesitate to drop me a line or call. I love you, and I want to be there for you. God willing, with my health and the covid numbers, we will be back in church on Sunday, February 7th. First Sunday in February. Thank you for understanding. I miss you! In Christ, Pastor Dave

It is such a beautiful snowy day that I couldn't help but think of this Bible verse that God asks unto Job: Have you entered the storehouse of the snow [...?]. It is such a poetic vision. Usually when we think of Heaven we think of a serene, soft place draped in white. The storehouses of snow are said to be in Heaven - giant piles of snow stored up and to be felled when God wants to cleanse His Creation. Below I copied Barnes' Commentary on Job 38:22. Be well and enjoy t...Continue reading

God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible - what a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves.
