Ethics complaints alleging "financial conflict of interest" against  Gasconade County Presiding Commissioner Ron Jost were filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission by Northern District Associate Commissioner Matt Penning and citizen watchdog Raymond "Mike" Jacquin several weeks ago.  A Hermann Hearsay source has informed us that the investigation is underway, that interviews of the principals are occuring and that pertinent documents are being requested by the investigator.

Hermann Hearsay is predicting that the investigation will be completed with the issuance of a final report no later than Thanksgiving.  Hermann Hearsay further predicts that the findings will NOT be favorable for Presiding Commissioner Jost and that the allegations made by Northern District Associate Commissioner Penning and Mr. Jacquin will be upheld.

Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.  ~ Romans 4:4-5

This cuts us to our core. If we were honest, we want to work for our righteousness. We like the feeling of accomplishment as we figure out how to be in right standing with our boss, our spouse, or our friends. But the gospel tells us something very demeaning: we are not smart enough, strong enough, or good enough to be in right standing with God. This insults our intelligence, but maybe that’s the point. Maybe the gospel is not about our abilities, but God’s mercy. If the doorway to righteousness is humility, then this righteousness becomes available to any who are willing to receive. It is an equal opportunity message. It is also an equal opportunity revolution, for the gift that God gives has the power to change us in ways in which we can’t change ourselves.

Do you remember "Professor" Irwin Corey, "World's Foremost Authority" and 96 year old comic legend?  He frequently appeared on "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour".  Since the 1940's he's donned his "Professor" role and clothes, creating a double-talk style, worthy of many a politician or pretentious orator. He's very much alive and absurdly pontificating to this day.

So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.  ~ Acts 11:26b

Antioch was a big city, so we are reading about an urban church plant in this passage. With the density and diversity of Antioch it is amazing to realize that Christianity flourished in the large cities of that day. The Scripture and history have shown that the challenges of urban life have been a seedbed for church growth. In the rigors of different cultures and religions, the followers of Jesus were so distinct that they received a new name – Christians! What about our day? Are we living in such a way that we are distinct from all of the voices that call out around us? Like the story of Antioch, we have an amazing opportunity in front of us. The gospel was made to prosper in times like these.

Beating the Democrats in November's mid-term elections won't be enough! 

“As President Obama remakes his senior staff, he is also shaping a new approach for the second half of his term: to advance his agenda through executive actions he can take on his own, rather than pushing plans through an increasingly hostile Congress.”  ~ From 10/8/2010 L.

Move over Columbus Day; today is 'National Coming Out Day'. Established in 1988, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights awareness day is being celebrating on college campuses and in communities across the country.

Pardon me, but have I missed something?  I haven't seen any special sales ads in The Hermann A-C or in my recently received ALCO sales circular.  Will Rivertown Restaurant or Lyndee's be serving any 'Coming Out Day' fried chicken dinner specials?  Will Bud Light be on sale at The Barrel Bar or at Sharp Corner Tavern?

At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’”  ~ Mark 5:30-31

We may react to Jesus question in the same way as the disciples. Then we find out that a woman, who was ceremonially unclean and therefore not supposed to touch anyone, had risked death to come and touch Jesus. God the Father was making a statement. Maybe the crowds saw Jesus as a great teacher, but this woman saw something more. When her uncleanness met Jesus, she was no longer unclean. Jesus was greater than her defilement. He was greater than her fear. To approach God in prayer when we feel unclean, weak and fearful is an act of faith that can cleanse and heal us as well. This woman knew that Jesus was greater than all of her issues. Do we see Jesus in the same way?
