Pastors note
There was a time when I flew kites. I hadDiamond kites, Delta kites small and large,and stunt kites. Stunt kites are impressivebecause you can make them do all kinds ofspectacular moves and feats of skill. A goodday for flying kites is when the wind is steadywith occasional gusts. The key to flying a kite
is to not give too much slack in the string. Aslong as that tension exists, the kite will fly. Itis amazing to feel the colorful kite tug and pullas if it sought to escape my control.
From the perspective of the kite, thestring must be a real nuisance. The kite wouldlove to soar as the birds, without anythingbinding it to the earth, free to choose its owndirection. But the string is forever there, tyingit to the ground.
Ephesians 4:14-15 teaches us that weare no longer to be children, tossed here andthere by waves, and carried about by everywind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, bycraftiness in deceitful scheming; but speakingthe truth in love, we are to grow up in allaspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ.
Sometimes I feel like that kite. When mytime in Gods Word slackens, I can inevitablybecome carried away into the wild blueyonder. I need that grounding and that
tension. Without Gods Word keeping thattension alive, I can only nosedive intoheartache. However, when we surrender allto the master, we find ourselves living the lifeof adventure and discover the thrill of soaring.
God bless your ministry,
mike

Remember the childrens rhyme, Mary, Mary,quite contrary, how does your garden grow? Neverdid figure out why she was contrary, but thatsneither here nor there. The recent rains have beensuch a blessing and Ive actually watered just abouteverything with run-off from my barrels.
Two weeks ago I was in Minneapolis, helpingmy daughter clean up her yard
(I think I dug up around 250 dandelions!) andget her garden planted. It was fun to experiencespring all over again as tulips, apple trees, lily-of-the-valley, and lilacs were in full bloom. They havehad copious amounts of snow and rain soeverything was lush and green. As Rebecca wasplanting seeds in her raised beds, I was reminded ofan article I read long ago called A ChristianGarden.
Five rows of Ps:Prayer, Perseverance, Politeness,
Promptness, Preparedness
Three rows of Squash:Squash criticism, Squash gossip, Squash
indifferenceSix rows of Turn-ups:Turn up at church, Turn up with your Bible,
Turn up with the Lords
tithe and your offerings, Turn up with a smile,Turn up with a visitor,
Turn up with a determination to win others toChrist
Five rows of Let-us:Let us be faithful to God and His work, Let us
be unselfish in our words,Let us be loyal to the church, Let us be truthful
and honest with God,Let us love one another and all His peopleThink about how a tiny seed can grow and
flourish, bearing much fruit and
an abundance of zucchini! We may neverknow the results of the faith seeds
that we plant in the lives of others.and somefolks may be able to join in the Glorious Harvest asa result of our witness. Happy gardening!But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness andself-control. Against such things there is no law.Galatians 5:22
The Faith Profile of the state of Texas.
As the buckle of the Bible belt, Texas reflects a very Christianizedprofile: Half of the states residents are born again (49%) and theytend to rank higher than other states in terms of religious activity,especially Bible reading, evangelism (or faith-sharingresponsibilities) and Sunday school attendance. Overall, 89% of thestates residents describe themselves as Christians, with Baptistsbeing the most prominent slice of the population (21%).
Still, despite all this, the orthodoxy of their beliefs is generally
average. Half of Texans believe that good works result in heavenand more than half contend that Satan is merely symbolic.
One-third of the practicing Christians who reside in Texas areHispanics (32%), one of the top states in the nation in this regard.Christians in Texas are more likely than average to be part of theBuster generation (or Gen X, 37%, compared to 31% nationally).Those younger believers are trending toward identification with theDemocratic Party over the GOP (45% versus 29%), while older Christians are more evenly divided (38%versus 35%). This portends significant shifts in the electorate in the Lone Star state over the next decade.

Dear Congregation of Zion Lutheran Church,
Spring Greetings from the Childrens Center!
On February 14, 2013, ZLCC children sent handmade cards to all of the shut-in
congregants of Zion Lutheran Church. ZLCC children also sent over 80 Valentines Day
cards and care items to the Veterans at our local VA Hospital. ZLCC children made all
the cards; parents and community members donated the items for the care packages.
The children had a Valentines Day party in their classrooms in the afternoon; parents
were invited and many attended fun was had by all.
Thanks to a very generous, anonymous member of Zion Lutheran
Church, we will be having the front entrance doors of the Center replaced with doors
that meet todays safety standards. This is a large step toward completion of Kerrville
Police Departments safety plan; to make our campus the safest possible for our
children and families.
In February, I sat down with Mrs. June Oehler to discuss putting together a
Vacation Bible School for the pre-school children of ZLCC. We will continue discussionsinto the Spring; with the Vacation Bible School tentatively set for the first part of June.
Thank you to Mrs. Oehler, Pastors Rauhut and Williams and all the volunteers helping
with this project. I am sure it will be a memorable and fun experience for the children.
Thank you for your continued support of Zion Lutheran Childrens Center!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Cash, Director and the Board of Directors
