O P TA B L E Pet of the Week!
Meet RAMBO!
This beautiful boy was brought into Wishbone’s care as a lost dog who was never reclaimed Our medical team have estimated he’s 7 years old Rambo seems to be almost completely blind he hasn’t seen an ophthalmologist but our vet speculates he has a degenerative eye disease that’s caused his loss of vision He has gained so much confidence with the donation of a halo har ness to help him navigate the wor ld! Rambo was clear ly someone’s pet before his time with us He loves people, knows basic commands, and seems housebroken even in the shelter environment Rambo has not yet been temperament tested, but he could likely join a home with other dogs and older, respectful children If there is another dog in the home, we’ll schedule a meet and greet to ensure they’re a good fit! He hasn’t yet been tested with cats
Apply to adopt or foster this special boy online at: wishbonepetrescue .org

I DA R E YO U TO B E L OV E D . . . When people listen, God
speaks
When people obey, God acts When God acts, people are chang ed
The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and r ich in love The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down Psalm 145:8-9
For Herod had arrested and imprisoned John (John the Baptist) as a favor to his wife Herodias (the former wife of Herod’s brother Philip) As soon as Jesus heard the news, he left in a boat to a remote area to be alone But the crowds heard where he was headed and followed on foot from many towns Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick
Matthew 14:3, 13-14
REFLECTION: Jesus was deeply saddened by the arrest of John the Baptist, his relative The Jewish knew of John and were also disturbed They had faith in John the Baptist calling for repentance, but they were still weak in their faith They were terr ified by his arrest and seeking a new shepherd, so they tur ned to follow Jesus One day Jesus got into a boat to leave the region that was controlled by Herod He withdrew into a wilder ness area to keep Himself and his disciples safe A crowd estimated to be 5000 followed him there We do not know how long they remained in the wilder ness, but it was cer tain for a long time The people did not want to leave that place because they thought they found themselves in the presence of one of God’s Prophets because Jesus was healing the sick and teaching them about His Father His divine power was on full display Like us today, they were seeking a tr ue shepherd, a leader who loves and gives us a powerful pur pose We know that Jesus was not a prophet but a Savior One who sacr ificed His life so we may have eter nal life He guides our hear ts daily and sends us His Spir t It was no small thing for them to leave their own homes, and wor k Yet they stayed with Him, and he ser ved them a meal of bar ley loaves and fish That was Jesus’ first miracle, and he eventually feeds billions of people Chr istian churches around the wor ld celebrate the Lord feeding us by offer ing the Lord’s Supper This Sacrament is not so much a memor ial ser vice, but an active uniting between heaven and ear th The Body of Chr ist, the Blood of Chr ist, given for you
PRAYER TIME: Heavenly Father thank you for giving us the holy signs and seals of the Lord’s Supper Thank you for giving us Jesus Chr ist, your Son, who feeds and nour ishes our souls Praise your name for sending the Holy Spir it to help us commune with our Savior This week I will remember your promises as I share his holy meal with my fellow Chr istians In Jesus Name, Amen

“OUR GOD IS SOVEREIGN”
(No 8 in series: The Attributes of God)
“My eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign Lord; in you I take refuge Psalm 141:8
By Rev Dan M nor - revdminor1945@gmail com
The word sovereignty in the Bible is a ter m that d e s c r i b e s G o d ’s c o m p l e t e c o n t r o l a n d management of the universe God is the r uler over the wor ld God created “He’s Got the Whole Wor ld in His Hands ”
God does not consult with gover nment leaders kings cour ts or r ulers because God is Himself the “King of Kings and Lord of Lords ” Nothing takes God by sur pr ise We wonder where the wor ld is heading God knows where the wor ld is heading because God is the Head of the wor ld The psalmist wrote, “The Lord has established His throne in the heavens and His sovereignty r ules over all” (Psalm 103:19) God spoke through the prophet Isaiah, saying, “Heaven is my throne, and the ear th is my footstool ”
Since God is sovereign:
• The heavens worship Him (Nehemiah 9:6)
• God’s help is at hand (Isaiah 50:7)
• Nothing is too hard for God (Jeremiah 32:17)
• One day justice will be a reality (Acts 17:31)
• We are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17)
• Satan will ultimately be defeated (Romans 16:20)
• Death is swallowed up in victory (I Cor inthians 15:54)
• There is hope for the church (Ephesians 4:6)
• We have one Ruler (I Timothy 6:15-16)
Wouldn’t the wor ld be a better place if all of us allowed God to take control of our lives?
Prayer: Dear Jesus, please forgive my sins and take control of my life In Your strong name Amen

NON-HOMESTEAD MILLAGE PROPOSAL
On Tuesday, August 8, 2023, voters in the Otsego Public Schools District will be asked to approve a Non-Homestead Millage. This millage has been in existence since Proposal A went into effect in 1994 and was last approved by voters in 2014. For residential homestead property owners, this millage will cost you nothing other than your time to vote.
• NO IMPACT on residential or most agricultural property.
• This is NOT A NEW TAX - this is brought to the voters for approval every 10 years.
• Generates approximately 7.6% of the operating funds for the district each year.
• Funds cannot be replaced by other sources.
• Families will not see an increase on their taxes for their primary homes.
• This applies only to commercial property, rental property, second homes and some agricultural property.
OTSEGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPERATING MILLAGE PROPOSAL
This proposal will allow the school district to levy the statutory rate of not to exceed 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its full revenue per pupil foundation allowance.
Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Otsego Public Schools, Allegan, Kalamazoo and Van Buren Counties, Michigan, be increased by 19 mills ($19.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 10 years, 2023 to 2032, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and 18 mills are levied in 2023 is approximately $2,240,000?
