Okay, we are all inundated with political wrangling and the vote is still a year
away. It is exhausting. So, for a little lightheartedness let me share these
apolitical aphorisms that were sent to me recently
If God would have wanted us to vote, He would have given us
candidates. Jay Leno
The problem with political jokes is they get elected. Henry
Cate
When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President;
Im beginning to believe it. Clarence Darrow
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and
campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the
other. Oscar Ameringer
There were plenty more, but you get the gist. (Some were actually too frightening
to include.) I bring this topic to point because whether you care or not, it is the
opening sentence of almost every media presentation. Christians are united in
their belief and faith in the Triune God, and both Republicans and Democrats can
claim Christianity. We have differing opinions on how government should be run.
Differing opinions have us rooting for Iowa, ISU, or UNI (or that other team). We
may never have attended those schools, but we have an allegiance of some sort
to them. I do not know nor have ever met any of the candidates, Republican or
Democrat. Most of them profess Christianity; a few are more outspoken than
others. We have a full year before we decide and vote. What do we do in the
meantime to help us make our final decision? Well, as I have often mentioned in
messages, the answers to all lifes dilemmas are in the Bible. It may take some
digging to find those answers, but it is the place to start.
First Timothy 2:2, offers some starting advice for us to employ Pray especially
for rulers and their governments to rule well It sure doesnt offer any specific
names does it? It wont. What else can we do? Keep praying. Psalm 107: 28,
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He brought them out of their
distresses. Still not helping? No clarity? Try James 1:5 If any of you lacks
wisdom(dont know what youre doing, per The Message), let him ask of God,
who gives to all generously.
One more before I close from 2nd Chronicles 7:14, [if] My people, who are
called by My name, will humble themselves and prayI will restore their land to
health. It seems that prayer is the path to our solutions. Since I opened with
some humorous quotes about politics, let me close with a quote on prayer from
Corrie Ten Boom, who lived during a time of questionable government and its
leadership Dont pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord
and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees.

Trip to Iowa Falls
October 3, 2015
The UMW sponsored a day trip to Iowa Falls on October 3, 2015. Eleven women left Chapel Church at 9:30 am and
traveled to Iowa Falls. We visited a gift shop downtown until it was time to meet Virginia Stockdale, Janice Collins
sister at The Gathering Place for lunch. This was a former nursery/garden shop converted into a restaurant and gift
shop. We visited an antique store and a thrift shop. The thrift shop is run by the women of the area churches. Virginia
said her church helps out there. At 2 pm we started our eighty minute cruise of the Iowa River aboard the Scenic City
Express pontoon boat. We saw beautiful scenery of limestone bluffs, historic homes, and the Iowa Falls swinging
bridge. The cruise was beautiful with sunny skies and a slight breeze. Before leaving Iowa Falls we treated ourselves
at the local Dairy Queen. It was a very enjoyable day.

CHAPEL'S CHRISTIAN COWBOY CHUCK WAGON CELEBRATION

On Sunday, October 4, 2015, those who entered Fellowship Hall were transported back to the Old West.
Our youth helped to greet and aid people in games if help was needed. They also did a superb job of asking
their friends to attend with them. It was great to see so many young faces there and all the enthusiasm they
brought with them.
The room was filled with cowboys, cowgirls, sheriffs, deputies - and even a rodeo clown. We lassoed
horses, picked up snakes, branded a cow blindfolded, searched for hidden gold nuggets and made Wanted
Posters of each other. There was a western trivia game that adults played at their table to see if they were
able to remember trivia about old TV westerns. They also did a "shout out" to guess the theme songs from old
westerns as the music played.
Supper was served around 4:30 pm on our Chapel chuck wagon. It consisted of beef burgers; hot dogs
(so they could "get-a-long-little-doggie"); baked beans; chips; applesauce; spiced peaches; cornbread/honey;
apple, peach and cherry cobblers; decorated sugar cookies in the shape of boots, horse shoes and horse
head. Beverages were cactus juice, lemonade, milk, water and coffee. There was very little left after the chow
line of 70 plus went through.
After supper cowpokes went back to playing games or visiting. There were door prizes and one special
prize for the person who rode a horse the farthest to get there. Darrel Burt won that one even though he pulled
his horse on wheels rather that rode itThat prize should have counted for originality, too! Kids and adults
participated in a "Dress the Sheriff" relay race overseen by Marla Hlas. Deanne Raymond made those
awesome posters for our games. Our tables and the Fellowship Hall were cleverly decorated by Lois Groth,
Karen Handorf and Connie Buchman with others helping.
After Ron Groth gave a cowboy story about training horses, we went outside and sat around a beautiful
campfire, which was made by Leon Lamer. Stories were told and songs were sung with Sue Koster
accompanying us with her ukulele. The youth skipped the campfire and had fun playing football. A fun evening
was had by all. A big thank you to Carol Lamer for chairing the event!
Happy Trails!

Kathryn Burt: Wanted for too much Bible knowledge!

Some women are working on a pencil-paper game about Western trivia.

Wyatt & Violet Jackson are enjoying their horseshoe glasses!
