your book is written, how shall
it read? With the Holy Spirit’s
lead, you decide. What do you
want it to say? Now, go live
that way!
.
Some folks read books as
fast as a kid goes through a bag of
M & Ms. Others chew on a few
books like a dog enjoying some
favorite bones.
Somewhere, Teddy
Roosevelt said, “I am a little bit of
every book I ever read.”
We learn from books.
Your life is like a living book,
currently being written. And as
you write it, others are reading it,
especially your loved ones.
Parents, take note. Your
children are a little bit of what
they read from your life! Maybe
they become a lot of what they
read from your life! From the pint
-sized and the super-sized things
you do, they are absorbing “how
to live” from your story.
Consider where you go, or
don’t go. If only mom takes the
kids to worship and dad stays
home, what kind of a message is
that sending? If a person stays
out late partying, little readers see
that. As you handle
disagreements, they are reading
your every action.
Lead by example.
The examples you
display on the pages
of your life impact
your children
profoundly. The
same is true if you are a husband
or a wife, a friend or a neighbor,
a co-worker, grandparent, aunt or
uncle. Others are reading your
book. What do they see?
And more important than
the conduct of life in your story
is the question, “Who is the main
character, yourself or the
Savior?” Christ is our Redeemer
as well as our life-model, our
Master Storyteller! We need to
be reminded that His love at the
cross and His rising mean a life
of responsive and responsible
living.
Where is your story
going? Are you following or
feeling your way? Think about
your words and movements
before you act on them, before
you write them on the pages of
your life history.
Study the difference
between virtues and vice and
pick one, then live it, and your
book shall be written one way
or the other. Learn the
difference between following
Christ and following self-will.
Learn the difference between
worldly desire and inner
contentment that comes in
Christ.
When your story is
complete and the last page of

yet, we feel His presence in
Jeff's recovery. It will be a
long road, but we are
assured of God's promise
that all will be well for
those who trust in Him. We
still will pray for renewed
health and patience during
this experience. Our God is
so great! What would we do
without Him?
Praise God from
whom all blessings
flow! Praise Him, all
creatures here below!
Praise Him above, all
heavenly hosts! Praise
Father, Son and Holy
Ghost! Amen!
Thank you!
With love in Jesus,
Jeff and Faye Hovland
Dear Friends,
We at the Hovland
household are praising God
for our friends at Our
Saviour Lutheran
Church! Thank you all for
the many prayers
concerning Jeff's recent
heart surgery. How
comforting it is to know
that so many prayers were
lifted up for our family
during this very trying
time. Our wonderful
Heavenly Father heard
those prayers and answered
them with a successful
bypass for Jeff and He
added the blessing of peace
in our hearts.
We felt the warmth
of His presence throughout
the hospital stay and even
Weddings:

OSLC official acts St. Paul tells us
in Philippians 4:9,
“Those things, which
ye have both learned,
and received, and
heard, and seen in me,
do…” Saint Paul
meant, as you read
from life-story, write
the same in your own
life-story.
In the film, “The Last
Samurai,” someone
asks how a lead
character died. The
witness replies, “I will
not tell you how he
died, but how he lived.”
And likewise, go and
live for Christ, and he
will bless every page of
your story.
Continued from pg. 1
We are celebrating all the volunteers of Our Saviour. Do you usher, work the fish fries, help with the grounds upkeep, provide office help or serve on a board? You are all volunteers and all very valuable to the mission here at Our Saviour. As a token of appreciation to all the volunteers (servants) of the church, we will be holding a potluck will be on Sunday, May 15, at 10:30 a.m. in the gym. There will be no 10:45 a.m. service that day. Bring your best dish to serve with a smile to celebrate the gifts and time OSLC servants have provided.

Add this year’s
vacation Bible school to your
calendar today and check out
the registration form on the
next page. We invite you to
join us Monday, June 27
through Thursday, June 30
from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00
p.m.
Prekindergarten,
kindergarten and first grade
students will use the
“PandaMania” theme led by
Our Saviour volunteers. Camp
Luther will, again, lead our
children in second through
fifth grades. Prekindergarten
children must be at least
three years of age by
September 1, 2010 and must
be potty-trained.
Currently VBS is in
need of volunteers. Middle
school and older students
(including college age) and
adults are needed for many
areas! If you work and
cannot volunteer during our
scheduled hours, you can help
by providing some of the
snacks and supplies for
crafts or games. Watch the
weekly announcement sheets
for details.
If you have any
questions, please call Donna
Biebel at 468-5547.
Vacation Bible school is just around the corner!
Salad ingredients:
Kosher salt
3/4 pound green beans, trimmed and halved
3/4 pound yellow wax beans, trimmed and halved
One 14-ounce can dark-red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
One 14-ounce can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
One 14-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 bunch scallions, white and light-green parts, thinly sliced
1 red (or orange or yellow) bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, for garnish
2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram or oregano leaves (optional)
1 recipe of champagne vinaigrette (listed below) - 1 garlic clove, finely chopped - 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard - 1/4 cup champagne vinegar - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice - 2 tablespoons honey - 2 or 3 dashes hot sauce - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper - 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Hot sauce Salad prep: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous sprinkling of salt and the fresh beans, and cook until the beans are just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the beans in a colander, and shock in ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside. Place the fresh and canned beans, scallions, bell pepper, parsley, marjoram, and Champagne Vinaigrette in a large bowl, and toss to combine. Season the salad to taste with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
Vinaigrette prep: Whisk together the garlic, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is emulsified. Alternatively, you can combine all the ingredients in a blender or a food processor and puré until smooth.

"Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And who ever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. " Matt. 18:4-5 Johnny's mother looked out the window and noticed him "playing church" with their cat. He had the cat sitting quietly and he was preaching to it. She smiled and went about her work. A while later she heard loud meowing and hissing
and ran back to the open window to see Johnny baptizing the cat in a tub of water. She called out, "Johnny, stop that! The cat is afraid of water!" Johnny looked up at her and said, "He should have thought about that before he joined my church." Knowing scripture can save your life - in more ways than one!
