I felt moved to direct our thoughts towards the things that we do that are very displeasing to our LORD. Our LORD died for those things so that we can be free from the things that HE calls an abomination. I’m sure you remember that I talked about gossip, telling lies about others, and making up untrue stories about others, etc… I believe that all of us have to beseech our Heavenly Father to help us with our tongues and conversations. We are being told to have our conversation in the Heavenlies. Philippians 3:20 says, “For our conversation is in HEAVEN: from whence also we look for the SAVIOR, the LORD Jesus Christ.” We have one judgement left to look into. It is found in Revelation 20:11-15. “And I saw a Great White Throne, and HIM that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before GOD: and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works….Be wise and receive HIM into your life.

As Always, Love in CHRIST, Pastor Ruth Tetzlaff, Remnant Church of God, Stanley, Wisconsin 54768 Another piece by former reporter turned seminarian Daniel Williams See You at Mass on All Saint’s Day!

By Daniel Williams Our rector here at the seminary has said multiple times that he wants us to become saintly men. How do we do so? Well, for starters, we can look at the saints not from centuries ago, but even modern day saints.

One large opportunity for us to memorialize and ask for the saints’ intercessions in heaven is on the feat of All Saints Day. As Catholics, we believe that this is a holy day of obligation. This will be the first time in a few years that the obligation will be waived, due to the closeness to Sunday. Taking this extra time next Tuesday to remember the lives of the saints and thank God for giving us the opportunity to see His mercy through these holy men and women….We need to be saints. Being a saint is not just being one who does extraordinary acts and are canonized, but we are called to strive to be saintly. We are supposed to strive to be better people. It is a longing that we lack in our present society, but going to Mass and memorializing those whom we should be like is one step closer to where God wants us to be.

Christ commonly told those who were longing to be with him, most notably the disciples before their conversion, to sell everything or drop everything the had materially and follow Him. What a profound statement that would send to our neighbors. Not that we should be prideful, but that we fully die to ourselves and allow Christ to live within us and provide for the gift of everlasting life and joy. Saint Paul said in his letter to the Galatians and he showed how to do this very act of dying to himself for the sake of having Christ live within him…So, with this re- flection of the saints and how to be a saint, don’t forget that God continues to send us men and women that we should see as role-models that we can grow to one day become. Being saintly people can bring us that true happiness and joy that so many of us long for.

Remember the saints this coming Tuesday and praise God for His compassionate works in sending them to us. See you at Mass on All Saints Day November 1!

Praised be Jesus Christ now and forever! Amen.

HORSE AND BUGGY DAYS (Cartoon) Hallowe’en: When the “Hazel” Gang dragged old man Grump’s buggy on top of his barn because he was so stingy with his “Paw paws.”

Ralph Bloom speaks in ‘It Says Here’: “Some have wondered,” says Walter Brovald in his Cadott Sentinel, “why the Stanley Theatre ads have disappeared from the Sentinel. The theatre has closed. That’s the reason. Maybe something is stirring by now, but I was surprised by the lack of community concern over there. A theatre, it seems to me, is an important asset for a town in many ways.”

Righto, Walt. It is an important asset. But I think something is being done about it, thought sometimes these things take time.

We’re all hoping the theatre lights will be brightening Broadway again before many more weeks have passed.
