It was all so wrong! So

wrong that the sun quit

shining and Jesus cried

out, “My God, why have you

forsaken me?”

Yet even then,

God was

enough.

Psalm 73 is a

long prayer

about how

there is too much wrong in

this world. It’s a complaint,

until the psalmist gains a

new perspective. Then the

prayer takes a turn:

“Whom have I in heaven

but you? And earth has

nothing I desire besides

you.” In other words, even

when so much is wrong,

God, you are enough. At

the end of his rope, Jesus

releases himself to God:

“Father, into your hands I

commit my spirit”. Because

even when so much is

wrong, God is enough.

God Is Enough

In Psalm 73:25 we read

"Whom have I in heaven



you." Sometimes there is

too much

wrong in this

world! The

economy takes

your job.

Cancer takes

your spouse.

The floods or fires takes

your home. Yet even when

so much is wrong, God is

enough. But some people

skate through life. They

seem to have no troubles

at all. Their kids run

faster. Their jobs pay

better. Their dreams shine

brighter. And they act like

they deserve it, but they

don’t. It’s just wrong!

Yet even when so much is

Aging Wisdom

My doctor asked if anyone in my family suffered from mental illness. I said, "No, we all seem to enjoy it."

My bucket list is short: Just keep breathing.

Just once, I want a username and password prompt to say, "Close enough."

I'm a multitasker. I can listen, ignore and forget all at the same time!

People who wonder if the glass is half empty or half full, miss the point. The glass is refillable.

I don't have grey hair; I have wisdom highlights.

Sometimes it takes me all day to get nothing done.

I don't trip, I do random gravity checks.

Never laugh at your spouse's choices. You are one of them.

One minute you're young and fun. The next, you're turning down the car stereo to feel cooler.

I'd grow my own food if only I could find bacon seeds.

Losing weight doesn't seem to be working for me, so from now I'm going to concentrate on getting taller.

My body is a temple; ancient and crumbling.

I came. I saw. I forgot what I was doing. Retraced my steps. Got lost on the way back. Now I have no idea what's going on. But I remembered to share these with you!

Greetings To All,

Fall has arrived with its entire beautiful splendor, golden Aspen tree leaves, cool

nights and warm days and gardeners gathering in their bountiful harvest. Truly our

Lord is good to us!

September marked 19 years of faithful service to the Father and St. Paul’s

Community Church that Pastor Simon has truly served. Let’s not forget his wife

Sharon and children have served right along beside him. On behalf of all of St.

Paul’s church family we sincerely thank you. May God continue to bless you and

keep you well to serve him and our church!

It looks like we will be starting the third portion of our parking lot repaving

(Special Project). Colorado Pavement Solutions will be here on October 4, 2021

for two days. We ask that you all would not enter or leave on the north driveway

during this time.

The “Texas Steakhouse” fundraiser is a success and we have an additional two more

opportunities in the month of October to add to it. I would like to especially thank

Betty Stober and Phyllis Evans for all their hard work.

The lovely ladies of the Red Hats have organized and extended to the whole church

an opportunity to attend a performance of murder and mystery at the

Adams Mystery Dinner Playhouse on October 14, 2021.

We are a very lively and energetic family here at St. Paul’s. Please contact any

member of the Council in whatever way we may serve you!
