A pastor asked an older farmer, decked out in bib overalls,
to say grace for the morning breakfast.
"Lord, I hate buttermilk", the farmer began.
The visiting pastor opened one eye to glance at the farmer
and wonder where this was going.
The farmer loudly proclaimed, "Lord, I hate lard."
Now the pastor was growing concerned.
Without missing a beat, the farmer continued,
"And Lord, you know I don't much care for raw white flour".
The pastor once again opened an eye to glance around the room and
saw that he wasn't the only one to feel uncomfortable.
Then the farmer added, "But Lord, when you mix them all together and
bake them, I do love warm fresh biscuits.
So Lord, when things come up
that we don't like, when life gets hard,
when we don't understand what
you're saying to us, help us to just relax and
wait until you are done mixing.
It will probably be even better than biscuits.
Amen."

WINTER FUN AT TROLLHAUGEN
Sunday's Message: John 11:1-45
Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.was the one who anointed
the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was ill., the sisters sent a message to
Jesus, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.”when Jesus heard it, he said, “This illness does not lead to death; rather it is for God’s glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”, though Jesus loved Martha and her sister and
Lazarus,after having heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. Then after
this he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to
stone you, and are you going there again?”answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Those who walk during the day do not stumble, because they see the light of this world.those who walk at night stumble, because the light is not in them.”saying this, he told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to awaken him.”disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be all right.”, however, had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was referring merely to sleep.Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”, who was called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.” When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days.Bethany was near Jerusalem, some two miles away,many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their brother.Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home.said to Jesus, “Lord if you had been here, my brother would not have died.even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask of him.”said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live,everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one coming into the world.” When she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, and told her privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”when she heard it, she got up quickly and went to him.Jesus had not yet come to the village but was still at the place where Martha had met him.Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go out. They followed her because they thought that she was going to the tomb to weep there.Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved.said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”began to weep., the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?” Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days.”said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”, they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you for having heard me.knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.”he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.” Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.
