Scripture was from the book of
Jeremiah. Jeremiah is a hard book to
read because even though God took
them by the hand and led them out of
bondage in Egypt, the Isrealites still
strayed by breaking the Law, even
worshiping idols. Jeremiah is known
as the weeping prophet, not bec.ause he
wept for himself (even though his own
people persecuted him), but because ~
he wept for his people when they turned
their backs on God. Jeremiah told of
the coming fulfillment of the Law,
which we now know to be Jesus. The
grace that we receive through Christ is
transfbrmative. It changes our entire
lives, both public and private.
Many people feel that the Old Tes-
tament is all about God's judgement
and punishment, but "mercy" is actu-
ally one of the most repeated words.
God gives us the truth. We may not like
it, and we may not want to listen to it,
but He will keep giving it to us. Even
when we give up on ourselves, God
never;gives up on us. He is reaching
out tq'us. We just need to accept Him.
Doing so will not only change our
lives,but it"will change the world when
we live the lives that Jesus intends.
He inquired ofan old man whether
it were sinful to write for morley. And
the old man answered, "There be two
kinds of writers, my son: to wit, those
who write for money and get it, and
those who write for money and don't
get it."

We would like to say THANK YOU for all the kind words,
donations, prayers, and helping hands we have received since our
devastating house fire in August.
The outpouring of support has been overwhelming, and to write
a thank you to everyone would be difficult as we don't want to miss
anyone. To anyone who helped our family through this-difficult
.time, THANK YOUI
While it's impossibiet0 thank every individual, we would like tO
specifically thank all the Firefighters, EMS, and Law Enforcement,
; who helped fight the fi(e on a hot day and stayed until the job was
" complete. A special thank you to our FAMILY for all the endless
hours of support, to our neighbors Bree, John, Steve and Marion for
their quick thinking the day of the fire and the endless hours of help
they have given since, and to Devon and Kandi Walter for opening
their home to our family. We know that THANK YOU isn't enough,
but we want you to know that we appreciate all that has been done
for our family. We also want to thank the Class of 2020 from Lincoln
HighSchool, The St. Patrick's Catholic Teens Group, and the Beloit
High Volleyball team for putting on fundraisers to help with our
needs. We are grateful to live in such a wonderful community and
surrounding area, which always comes together in support of friends
and neighbors in their time of need.
