Twenty-Fifth Sunday after Pentecost

When this comes in your email box there will be twenty-eight days before the election, one that will impact the direction of America and the world for generations to come. This is a very serious time for America and the world, too serious not to vote.

As many of you who attend Pilot Knob Lutheran, every other Sunday we try to memorize or become familiar with a Bible verse, as Psalm 119:11 says: I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

Results! We all would like to see positive and productive results from our efforts and words. Results can be difficult to see when working with people, such as a teacher or counselor. The political process can be very slow in producing results. How about gardeners and farmers who must wait months for results and sometimes suffer the effects of too little or too much rain, hail, insects, blights, mold and so on. I’m thankful they don’t give up and I know they are too.
