    Grace & Peace to you,

    As you know, you and I are in the midst of theLenten season. Recently I was asked what theword Lent meant. I was stumped. I couldive the answer of what it meant theologically.t is the forty days before Maundy Thursday

    when faithful Christians prepare themselves forEaster through prayer, repentance, penance,nd self-denial or fasting. It is the time when

    we take a serious look at our personal faith.

    did some research on the actual meaning ofhe word Lent. It is derived from the Old

    English word lencten, meaning 'spring', theengthening of days after winter is over. This

    was a period of spring fasting known in Old

    English as Lencten-Fasten, or in its abbreviatedorm, as Lencten or Lent. The ecclesiastical

    name for this once mandatory period of fastings the Quadragesimal Fast (Latin), or the fast ofhe Forty Days, in imitation of the forty days ofasting performed by Jesus in the wilderness.

    As we travel though these forty days, I have tosk, How are you doing at reflecting on your

    ersonal faith what are you doing to focusn God and the life and ministry of Jesus? Aouple of things I hope you have done and willo are: I hope you were able to attend the in-redible Watoto concert and were inspired byheir music and their stories of faith; I hopeou will be able to attend the Lenten Wednes-ay meals and study of the 24 Hours That

    Changed the World; and I hope you will attend

    Holy Week services.

    As the spring days stretch a little longer thisLenten season, try stretching your faith andommitment to Christ. Your never know. You

    may learn to experience Easter every day.Happy Easter,

    To Your HealthExercise your noggin for better brain health

    You may not have added boosting your brain to your list of New Years resolutions, but

    heres why you should. Just as you have to exercise to keep your body fit, the same is truefor your brain. You can keep your mind agile as you age by keeping it engaged. Researchshows that stimulating brain activities, like reading, writing, studying or playing chess, helpprotect the mind against the effects of aging. Learning a new hobby, visiting a museum, anddoing crossword puzzles or sudoku are all simple and enjoyable activities that help keep youmind sharp as you get older. The next time youre tempted to channel surf all day, visit you

    local library, Ft. King Library or art gallery instead.

    MISSION

    From Annette in Thailand January 17, 2013

    Dear loyal sponsoring churches,

    This is an overdue letter, because there has been much uncertainty in my life recently. Now,many questions have been answered, and I want to let you know my plans.

    Last year in May, there was a gathering for the Presbyterian missionaries who were serving in Asia. Manyrepresentatives from the General Assembly Council and the mission board were there to share with us theirvisions for the future and current budgeting problems. The new emphasis in PC(USA) missions is to bethreefold: peacekeeping and reconciliation in places where violence is rife (including our own nation);working toward eliminating the causes of poverty, especially for women and children; and sharing the gospelof Jesus Christ with the world. My assignment does not address these objectives very directly, so I suspectedthat my job would not be continued unless the General Assembly (last June) assigned a very large budget foroverseas mission work for the next several years.

    That did not happen, so I was told in August that my assignment with PC(USA) missions would terminate atthe end of Payap University's school year. By March, 2013, I will have worked overseas for 22 years, so I willbe listed in the PC(USA) documents and the mission yearbook as "retired mission personnel." Feeling notquite old enough in years or finances to really retire, I applied to Payap University for employment. I am veryhappy to tell you that I will be continuing my work here in the College of Music in ChiangMai. It is possiblethat I may even be able to remain in this wonderful house that is right on the campus where I work (it is mis-sionary housing). That employment will begin with the new school year in June.

    In negotiating with my supervisors, however, my employment with PC(USA) has been extended another twomonths (beyond the end of the school year here) so that I can spend some time in the States and speak withmy sponsoring churches. Mostly, I want to say "thank you." If you would like me to come in person to dothat, I would be most happy to do so. I would need your invitation as well as your provision for travel, roomand board. ( I do not have a car, but my driver's license is still valid, so could rent for trips of reasonable dis-tance). As in the past, I could speak to your congregation or to smaller groups or show a video and/or to playmy flute with your choir or keyboardist. Length of presentation would be completely up to you.

    I will be in Louisville, KY between March 19 - 21st. After that, home base will be Ocala, Florida for abouttwo months. I will be in the USA until Tuesday, May 21st. I realize that your Spring schedules for Sundayswill be very full during the time that I am home, so I certainly understand if you cannot have me come speakto you in person, but this letter is just to let you know that my time as PC(USA) mission personnel is ending.

    I am sad about that but very grateful for the 22 years in Thailand. You have faithfully supported me for somany years. Your prayers and moneys sent to the mission board have been tremendous encouragement andinspiration for me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

    I do hope that you continue in your interest and support of PC(USA) mission work at home and abroad. Iwould be happy to help you link up with other Presbyterians who are serving in ChiangMai or Thailand.

    Truly,Annette George

    Something to Think AboutThe Gift of Life

    Then the Lord Eternal formed man (adam in Hebrew) of dust from the ground (adamah in Hebrew) andbreathed into his nostrils the breath (ruach inHebrew) of life, and man/adam became a living being (Genesis2:7).

    Man/adamfrom the Hebrew/Israelite perspective is not a body/flesh and a soul somehow connected this isa Greek philosophical idea related to the idea of immorality of soul, which is completely foreign to the Hebrew/Israelite way of understanding life. Mans soul is not immortal as God is immortal: to say it is, is idolatry.Rather, man/adamoriginates in the dust of the earth (You are dust and to dust you shall return, Genesis 3:16c),animated by Godsruach: Gods breath, wind, spirit. It is this that makes the human being a whole livingbeing or a psycho-physical self(rather than soul; see Psalm 104: 29-30; Job 34:14-15).

    Shakespeare, Sonnet 73, helps us begin to understand the meaning of the gradual loss of vitality in the humanbody:

    That time of year thou mayest in me behold

    When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang

    Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,

    Bare ruind choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

    In me thou seest the twilight of such day

    As after sunset fadeth in the west,

    Which by and by black night doth take away,

    Deaths second self, that seals up all the rest.

    In me thou seest the glowing of such fireThat on the ashes of his youth doth lie,

    As the death-bed whereon it must expire,

    Consumd with that which it was nourished by.

    This thou perceivst, which makes thy love more

    strong,

    To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.

    Notes: -- yellow leaves, i.e. the autumn of ones life.- bare ruind choirs, i.e. ones extremities formerly full of vigor, now shivering and weakening.- ones time is running out, of this I am fully aware; care and caution are the order of the day as I

    face the coming end of my life.- Is this Self-centered love or reality?

    There is an additional perspective Id like to share with you: in my relationships over the years with senior citi-zens, many from FKPC, Ive heard recurrent themes, which I will personalize here, because now I understandwhere they were coming from.

    All my life Ive been saying goodbye, auf wiedersehen, adios to:

    WORSHIP (continued)WORSHIP (continued)WORSHIP (continued)WORSHIP (continued)

  • 7/29/2019 March 2013 LINK Newsletter

    13/16

    - places Ive called home;- people Ive called my family and friends, and- places (the Sierras, the Klamath, the Cascades) where Ive been touched by the living and by life

    And now I must say goodbye to my own life, what I have done with this body and mind through my life, tthe kind of person I was and am no longer, and have become and now am.

    Oh yes! I have many regrets and sorrows and losses; from each of them I learned what it means to be humanAnd, indeed, many happinesses as well. What I have learned is that as long as I have breath (the ruachGod), I can address the world in which I live and those with whom I live with who I am as a person. As one obillions of people now inhabiting this planet and undoubtedly leaving some sort of carbon footprint, I am not prime mover, important, a VIP either to others or even to myself. For what does it profit a man, to gain thwhole world and forfeit his own life? (Mark 8:36; Luke 9:25 adds: and loses or forfeits).

    I have lived this gift of life, did accomplish some things. My high school history teacher told me several years agYou have done far better than most of your classmates. Well, thank you. However, as Jesus of Nazareth saidLet the dead bury their own dead (Matt. 8:22//Lk. 9:60). Accomplishments are all in the past, something likGods acts of creation (Genesis 1-2:3); the question life puts to me is this: my life is toward the future, beginning now. What meaning will I both give to my life and will my life bear witness to? This, even at the end of mdays, is the very task with which I began my lifes journey: Knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain Corinthians 15:58).

    I am profoundly grateful to God the Eternal, the author of all life, for the gift of life Ive enjoyed, for the testsIve undergone, for the pruning of my limbs, the fine-tuning of my mind, for the flaws removed and/or at leaperhaps smoothed down to make the facets of my person tolerable to others.

    The gift of life is utterly incomparable and irreplaceable, for which I thank God in ways beyond words (see Romans 8:22ff.).

    Would you like to discover a profound spirituality? Say goodbye to someone you love, face-to-face, now.

    In memory of all the FKPC Members with whom Ive sat as they contemplated their own death, as therevealed their persons to me. Thank you, theyve given me so much to think about. I hope to you awell.

    Shalom,Tom

Whether you are a long-time Christian or simply curious about the storof Christ's crucifixion, you are invited to join us in retracing the last 24 hours of Jesus' life.

    Our dinners this year will be catered by outside organizations so we will need to get an accurate count on homany will attend dinner. To make this possible the Missions Ministry will take reservations following worsh

    each week. Remember, dinner begins at 5:30 and our study begins at 6:00.

    We hope you will join us for these challenging Wednesday evenings and Sunday services during Lent as we travdown the roads of faith. If you have questions or want to reserve dinner tickets please call Carole DeLucian othe church office.
