"I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to Him, and he answered my prayer" (Psalm 120:1). Psalm 120-134 are called " Pilgrim Psalms" or "songs of ascent". They were sung by those who journed to the Tem- ple for the annual festival. It still applies today. When we take our cares and trou- bles to the Lord, he hears and answers. We are remembering those in pray who are in need of healing, whether it is physical or spiritual. May the Lord hear and answer our prayers. You are always welcome to worship with us.

"In His Time" A chorus from several years ago proclaims that God "makes all things beautiful in His time." We would like that time to be now, but God's timing is not our timing. He doesn't tell us the exact time when Jesus will return and all things will become new, but we can de- pend on God fulfilling His promises. "He will wipe ever y tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or cr ying or pain, for the old or- der of things has passed away" (Revelations 21:4).

Cable TV/ Internet pro- The Press-Dispatch Wednesday, August 17, 2022 D-1 Being a Good Samaritan Recently, I was a member of a mission work-team in Dawson Springs, Kentucky. A tornado devastated this area last December. Since then, hundreds of volunteers have traveled to this area to help displaced residents repair or rebuild their homes. Not ever yone has adequate insur- ance to rebuild their home. It is a humbling and rewarding experience to help people af- fected by natural disasters. I've been to many work-camps and, while worksites are often dangerous, escaped injur y. Until this time. I was helping to remove an old steel tub from a house using an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel. The wheel broke and sent a piece of spinning shrapnel flying into my forearm, giving me a seri- ous laceration. They took me to the emergency room, and upon examination, no tendons or bones were cut. The doctor sewed and stapled the wound closed and sent me on my way. My fellow campers show- ered me with concern and support. I heard several co-workers tell of similar mis- haps they experienced. The doctor treating me told of his It is time to put ramblings on paper and hope they make enough sense for someone to enjoy. Week started out by wash- ing the car and picking up the trash we seem to always have an abundance of in our floor- boards. I am not Mr. Clean nor a perfection driven person but there comes a time when you just have to get out the trash can and start over. As much as we use our car it is no wonder why it gets cluttered. I had an eye appointment last week and my new glasses were expensive but when you think about it there isn't much that hasn't went up lately. I'm suppose to pick them up sometime this week. I started out to do a simple plumbing job and ended up with a trip to Wabash Valley Plunbing to get a part to re- place my broken piece and some extra parts to lower my shower head down to a nor- mal height. It wasn't the water that was the big problem this time ,but normally whenever I attempt to work on water I end up in a bigger mess than it was at first. Oh well it turned out good and works well for now. Last Wednesday was first day of school for the kiddos and our grandson was excit- ed and ready to go back. The second day he said he wasn't going to go, but grandma convinced him he had to go to keep up with the class. It worked for her this time. She may have to come up with something else as convincing for him. Our water softner is 12 years old and I was told ours may need to be recharged with new resin. Sounds expen- sive and putting a new one in its place sounds more logical. If the repair doesn't work you still have to replce the unit. I have been doing a couple of things to see if it is still work- ing and so far it seems to be improving its performance. While we were on our day journey we drove up to Wagler's small engines and purchased a new set of mow- er blades for the zero turn. It made a difference in the look of our yard after mowing. The Bethlehem and Calvary "Sweet Name come down from Heav'n above, To win our heart's deep ten- der love; As Bethlehem and Calv'r y prove: My Jesus."How true this old hymn is! Bethlehem and Cal- var y do indeed prove that the Lord Jesus Christ came from heaven to win us to himself. St. Paul's declaration that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" (ITim.1:15) takes in both Bethlehem and Calvar y. At Bethlehem Christ showed His love for man, not merely by coming to be with us, but by becoming one of us. Luke, "the beloved physi- cian," wrote the famous "Gos- pel According to St. Luke" to show how truly man the Lord Jesus Christ was. Apart from sin,our Lord experienced all the emotions, the sorrows, the joys, the pains, the pleasures that we do. The Son of God ac- tually became the Son of Man that the sons of men might be- come the sons of God. But His life alone could not save us. His holiness would only expose our sin and con- demn us.
