March 29-April 2 Because It Is Holy Week We Break from Our Regular Cycle of Devotions Devotions for Holy Week: March 29-April 2 Because it is Holy Week we break from our regular cycle of devotions. Monday of Holy Week – Prayer of the Week Almighty and everlasting God, You sent Your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, to take upon Himself our flesh and to suffer death upon the cross. Mercifully grant that we may follow the example of His great humility and patience and be made partakers of His resurrection; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. My mother used to admonish us to be a little careful what we prayed for. We might get it. In February of his senior year, my son was studying hard for his AP exams. He eagerly watched the weather reports of a threatening storm system which could bring snow. In Portland even an inch or two of snow paralyzes the city and they call off school. The storm skirted north of us and we only got rain. Portland never cancels school for rain. My son turned his eyes upward and prayed, “God, I could really use a couple days off from school.” That was late February 2020. Two weeks later his school and almost every other school in the nation shut down for the rest of the year. We pray in this prayer that God would mercifully give us to follow Jesus’ example of humility and patience so we can partake in the resurrection. Think about that for a moment in Holy Week. Jesus will demonstrate his humility and patience at his trial, scourging, crucifixion, and death. We are praying for an opportunity to partake in resurrection. Only dead people get resurrected. You know that, right? Do you really want to follow Jesus’ example of humility and patience? That sounds pretty painful. I do not truly think that the COVID pandemic is a result of God answering my son’s prayer to get a couple of days off from school. But this prayer, what if God gave us what we ask for here? Humility and patience are virtues which are forged in suffering and trials. Resurrection is what God does to corpses. As we come into this Holy Week, this prayer urges us to remember that this is not a TV show we watch through a screen or some events separated by time and distance. Jesus is living our lives and he is dying our death. Our only hope is to be joined to him. We do not get to pick our connection to Christ. We do not automatically plug into the Christ of powerful miracles and massive crowds. We all join him in dying. We pray today for the requisite patience and humility which he showed, and which we need. God answers prayers. Pray this one with confidence. Tuesday of Holy Week – John 12:12-19 12 The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written, 15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt!” 16 His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. 17 The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness. 18 The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone after him.” In the second half of the fourth century BC, history was dominated by a young Greek warrior- king named Alexander. We often call him “the Great.” I am betting that his mother never called him that. As he stuck east and shattered the armies of the Persian empire, he turned south, through the lands of what is today Lebanon and Israel, on his way to Egypt. Several cities resisted him and were quickly conquered. The wiser communities capitulated. They came out to meet him with palm fronds held aloft and singing words of welcome to their new king. It was better than fighting and, while the Persians had been a pretty good empire, they could sense that the political winds were shifting. It was time to get on board with the new regime. That history was relatively fresh in the days when John wrote this. The practice of welcoming a conqueror instead of opposing him with palm fronds held aloft was established throughout the ancient Mediterranean world. The crowds on that first Palm Sunday were making a political statement with those palm branches and their shouts of acclamation. The Pharisees at the end of the passage are aware of it. John approves; although, he questions the motives of the people. They have misread the signs. He wants us to remember the words of Zechariah 9. We will hear those words tomorrow. It is a king coming whom God foretold long ago. I think sometimes we imagine that when we clutch those palms we are joining in some serene worshipful moment. We are. It has become that. But we are also joining in a political statement as well. The Jewish people were fed up with Roman rule and their own people’s misrule of their land and lives. When they shout and wave the palms as Jesus rides in, they are making a revolutionary claim – Jesus is the new man in charge. John tells us that they had seen the signs Jesus had done and they wanted change. The palm fronds were a revolution of sorts, a new king, a new kingdom. We sing the words of the crowds on Sunday mornings when we come to the Sacrament “Hosanna! Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of Lord!” He comes to dry every tear and undo every evil. He comes to shatter the bow and shield. He comes to cast down the mighty from their thrones and rule with justice. The Pharisees of every age are right to be afraid of him. Wednesday of Holy Week – Zechariah 9:9-12 9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. 10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the war horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall speak peace to the nations; his rule shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. 11 As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. 12 Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double. Have you ever ridden a donkey? My parents, in their retirement, bought some property in Missouri and my mother got herself a couple of donkeys. I had a parishioner in Oregon who also had a donkey he would bring to Palm Sunday services. There is no way to look regal and elegant on a donkey. A human being is just a little too big to really fit on the back of a donkey. Your legs stick out too close to the ground. The animal has ears that are just too large. And they bray. A donkey braying is nothing like the whinny of a horse. You cannot but smile. Why does Jesus ride a donkey into Jerusalem? In the ancient world if you wanted to look like a king you rode a horse, especially a big horse. That made you look like a king. But not in Israel. In Deuteronomy 17, God had warned the people about appointing a king. If they did, He said, the king should not have horses. David seems to have taken this to heart. We read in I Kings 1 that when David was old and dying, he had Solomon placed upon his mule as the sign that he would be next king. In Israel, unlike the rest of the world, kings rode on donkeys or mules. Pontius Pilate and his Roman legionaries, unaware of Jewish culture and history, watched Jesus ride in and thought him nothing but another peasant on a donkey. What was all the fuss about? The Pharisees and Sadducees, however, knew their Old Testament well and could not have missed what Jesus was doing. And they were afraid. They had reason to be afraid. God’s Messiah came to usher in a kingdom which fills the world. Through forgiveness he has set us free from the waterless pit of our guild. From the stronghold of God’s Word, we are the prisoners of hope, looking forward to the fulfillment of all of God’s promises, including the day of Christ’s glory when the battle bow is broken, and he speaks peace to the nations. Maundy Thursday – I Corinthians 10:16-17 16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

  • Lighthouse on the Hill: the Bluefield
    The Bluefield College Story Lighthouse on the Hill: Retired Senior Professor of History By: Rev. David M. Armbrister Resiliency! This is a word that aptly fits the story of Bluefield College. Financial issues have beset the school since its beginning, often giv- ing those directly associated with its operation, as well as those simply interested in its welfare, concern about its continuance as an education- al institution. If there had not been men and women of strong faith and characterized by their willingness to make great sacrifices, the college might not exist today. There would be no eighty-fifth anniversary celebration in 2007. We can be thankful for that band of men who made that trip to Bristol, Virginia in a day when travel was not easy. The enthusiasm and drive that they took with them established a model that others would follow in supporting a Baptist college and, initially, a fitting school equivalent to a high school for southwest Vir- ginia. The courage and determination that ac- companied their great belief that the school was in God’s plan continued to uplift and guide the institution through its early years. These same qualities and convictions have enabled the school to overcome its problems and emerge as one of Virginia’s leading institutions of higher learning today. The author of this work has sought to present this marvelous story in a manner that will cap- ture the unique spirit of this school and those who have been associated with it through the years. His prayer is that the story will awaken a new understanding of the service that the col- lege has rendered in its eighty-five years and provide the groundwork on which it can go for- ward in the years ahead.

  • Showing Sparks with the New Guys November Wasn't The
    Sporting's November recap: Showing sparks with the new guys November wasn't the best month but it seems like Sporting S.C. is starting to turn things around with their new squad as they went 1-1-1. Sporting SC players before a game at Randall's Island. Sporting SC Images After ending their first two months in the Cosmopolitan Soccer League’s top division in last place with a 1-5 record, Sporting SC hit the reset button yet again. They signed a dozen of prominent players and welcomed familiar faces with hopes of igniting a revival. You could mistake their roster for one of the giants’ rosters in the CSL as they added names like Sikele ‘Kele’ Sylvester and Karim Russell, two former Lansdowne Yonkers F.C. players who won the CSL and the Amateur Cup; Emmanuel Agboola an ex-CUNYAC star, Joseph Lopez, a well- known player in Long Island from his high school and college days and so on. It wasn’t just the new players that improved their roster but also the returnees. Three men who played a vital role in SSC's promotion last season returned to the club: defender Michael Natsu, keeper Laurence Girard and midfielder Maximilian Mansfield. Mansfield didn’t just come back as a player but also became the team’s head coach. As expected, the new player-coach noted that it was “difficult” to take all the new players under his wings during the middle of the season and establish chemistry. Nevertheless, with such an attractive roster it was somewhat safe to bet on Sporting to start dismantling other teams in the CSL in November.

  • Ken Avery (1925-1997) Gardener at Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden 1959 -1986
    The Friends of the Wild Flower Garden Ken Avery (1925-1997) Gardener at Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden 1959 -1986 After the first 52 years of existence of the Eloise Butler Wild Flower Garden, Ken Avery would be only the third person to be its daily guardian and protector. The first Curator was Eloise Butler herself, who served from 1911 until her death in April 1933. Succeeding her was Martha Crone, who had been Eloise’s occasional helper and plant finder and then served as Curator until her retirement in 1959. That year, a young man of 33 named Kenneth E. Avery began what would be the longest tenure as Curator/gardener of the Garden. Five years earlier (in 1954), Ken moved to Minnesota and joined the Minneapolis Park Board staff as an assistant to Martha Crone. In the spring of 1959, he became Curator, a position he would hold until his retirement 28 years later, although the title "curator" would, by 1965, be replaced with the title "gardener", which more conveniently fit into the Minneapolis Park Board hierarchy at the time. [The official name of the governing body for the park system was changed in 1969/70 to the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board - both entities are hereafter referred to as the "Park Board”] [see note on the variations in Garden name at end of the text[. Ken Avery had a deep reverence for nature and considered working in the Garden a “very humbling experience.” He considered the Garden a real sanctuary for nature, where “a dead tree is as important to the ecological nature of the area as a live one.” As he worked to preserve the ecology of the Garden, he tried to interfere with nature as little as possible.
