The Road Less Traveled

Jason Taylor to New York Jets

ESPN reports Taylor to the Jets. What is this world coming to??? PLEASE! The J.E.T.S. Jets??? I don't think I can stand to watch.  Someone please wake me up from this nightmare...

It was hard enough watching Zach Thomas leave, but at least he went to Dallas, not in the same conference and definitely not in the same division nor the hated rivals of the Dolphins.

Must be nice to live in a city that can build two new Baseball Ballparks, a new Football Stadium and can buy their way into any sport whether baseball or football. No doubt top dollar will be offered to basketball's King James to woo him to the sit on the throne in New York also.

Is there anyone else who would like to play for the Jets? They seem to have purchased everyone else this next year.

Oldest Member at Our Savior Lutheran Celebrates 99th Birthday

Marie Bork, 99, a dear child of God, celebrated her 99th birthday with a few family members, long time friends from her church and her pastor on Tuesday, April 13th. We got a little surprise birthday party for her together. What a joy. She shared joys of the past, her children, her church, her husband with the Lord, and how the Lord has been with her all these years.

We all had a piece of cake and a scoop of ice cream. But even more wonderful than that was the connection of those the Lord has graced us with. There are people like Marie who remind us of God's goodness throughout the years, who remind us of the Lord watching over us, who remind us that we all have a purpose in God's plan while we are still her on this earth, and who remind us that the body of Christ contains those that are 9 days old and those 99 years old.

I pray that we might celebrate a 100th birthday party with Marie, but if not, I know of a greater celebration with her Savior we will have one day.

We love you Marie and while you may not be able to join us physically at church, you are a part of our family and your spirit is still felt within the walls of our church and your family.  

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. (Isa 46:4 NIV)
