A Note from our PastorFather Mark Arnzen
I don't know how often life interrupts life, but it seems to happen to me all the time. Ilike to think I have at least 20% of my life under control but the rest of life almostalways takes the 20% and flips it on its head. This isn't a bad thing but I amconstantly battling my desire to remain in control of the 20%. Why isn't it a bad thing? Well, mostly it's because God's plan is much better than myplan (even when I'm disagreeing with God) because the surprise of life shows me anew and different way to serve God, obey God and carry my cross with God in a productive and life-givingmanner. God's Plan vs My PlanIt all begins with the call last week calling me to Idaho for a funeral. My plan was to celebrate with Mauna myolder sister for her birthday with family. God's plan was to celebrate the funeral of my Uncle. What was theblessing? First, was the blessing of the air flight. I had planned to read a specific book but in my rush to getout of the house (I'm a last minute packer) it remained sitting in my room, I found another book in mycomputer bag, Bishop Robert Barron's book "The Strangest Way". It has been sitting in the bag so long I hadforgotten I had it...but being given the time to read it was truly a little blessing from God. Then there was theflight from Seattle to Boise. As I settled into my seat and pulled out the above mentioned book I heard, in theseats behind me, the beginning of a conversation. Full Pastoral notes Notas pastorales completas

Sunday Reading Preview:September 24, 2017Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Gospel Matthew 20:1-16When those who had started about five o'clock came,each received the usual daily wage. So when the first came, they thought that they wouldreceive more, but each of them also got the usual wage. And on receiving it they grumbled against the landowner,saying, 'These last ones worked only one hour,
and you have made them equal to us,who bore the day's burden and the heat.'

who bore the day's burden and the heat.'He said to one of them in reply,'My friend, I am not cheating you. Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage? Take what is yours and go. What if I wish to give this last one the same as you? Or am I not free to do as I wish with my own money? Are you envious because I am generous?'Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last.
