Not Counting
April 5, 2014
Read: Matthew 20:1-16
The play Amadeus tells of a composer in the 18th century seeking to understand the mind of God. The devout Antonio Salieri has the earnest desire, but not the aptitude, to create immortal music. It infuriates him that God has instead lavished the greatest of musical genius ever known on the impish Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The play poses the same question as the book of Job, only inverted. The author of Job wonders why God would punish the most righteous man on the face of the earth; the author of Amadeus ponders why God would reward someone so undeserving.
Jesus parable of the workers and their grossly unfair paychecks confronts this scandal head-on. Some people who have been idly standing around are hired by a landowner at the eleventh hour (Matt. 20:6-7). The other workers, who have been serving him all day long, are shocked when each receives identical pay. What employer in his right mind would pay the same amount for one hours work as for 12!
Jesus story makes no economic sense, and that was His intent. He was giving us a parable about grace, which cannot be calculated like a days wages. God dispenses gifts, not wages.
Lord, I forget sometimes that my efforts cannot earn
Your love or grace or forgiveness.
You have lavished grace on me as a gift
and not a wage. Thank You.
In the realm of grace, the word deserve does not apply.

Just got a call....XXXXX said he didn’t get paid today.
XXXXX got an advance on the 3/25 for what would be his normal pay today. Now he wants another advance. The rules say “no way”, but somehow they seem to get someone high up to sign for the advance. I HATE DOING ADVANCES! They get paid early and then wonder why they don’t get paid on payday. THEY ALREADY GOT PAID! We, payroll, fight advances tooth and nail...we usually lose, but we get the flak. *sigh*
Fortunately ALL three people that called me to say XXXXX didn’t get paid understand how advances work. His immediate supervisor will “counsel” him. It’s not payroll’s fault and the supervisor (he’s a good guy) knows that.

Just a picture of St. Lo, France taken in 1944 by a member of the 208th ECB. It looks like the place was involved in really heavy combat.

Just got off the phone with Jimmy (Drumbo)...he said he will be here playing music next Friday. Hmmmm.... We will see. LOL!
First up....his pathology report came back.
"Margins are clear"!!
Excellent sugeons, reconstruction of the bladder, and healing well. He does have Ileus,not uncommon for abdominal surgery, but they are hitting it hard to get him "flowing" again.
He sends many, many thanks to all who have prayed for him. "The Lord says he still has plans for me."
He wants food...only clear liquid for a week. He took a "trip" to the cafeteria area just to smell food. Pizza is on his mind.
He wants to go home tomorrow, but more likely it will be Monday for recovery at home.
Please keep those prayers coming.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I can not post much for a bit. I’m running on a back up/temp loan laptop computer since my keyboard went bad & I do not want to load up a bunch of stuff in this one.
This week has been ok for now & we are moving forward in our quest for a perm. homestead for us. Lance is being Lance, Nicole has gotten a job in one of the local factories making things for the auto industry, & Terry has her hands full keeping me on an even keel.
so everyone have a great fun filled weekend & work week.
