Limitation of movement, a rising temperature, and an increased likelihood of collision and conflict often occur when too many people press into a space not originally designed to hold them. Such a situation can readily contribute to a heighted level of stress and a greater probably for injury. People generally do not fare very well in tight, cramped situations; they often have trouble thinking clearly and acting conscientiously. Sometimes our lives get like this – overcrowded – not so much with people, but with the swirling demands, obligations, responsibilities, requests, activities, problems, worries, doubts, and fears of this earthly existence. At least occasionally, our environments – both internal and external – become so cluttered with a plethora of complex matters that we find ourselves super-stressed, overwhelmed, and on the verge of self-destruction. In view of these overcrowded conditions, the question arises: “How do we deal with the sundry pressures, the voluminous complications, and the disarming bewilderment that these unfavorable conditions produce?” That is, “How do we handle the over-crowdedness? We might find a clue to a meaningful answer in a seldom-mentioned story about the ancient Hebrew patriarch Isaac. While attempting to settle in a valley called Gerar, Isaac decided to dig out and old well that his father Abraham had dug in prior years. Upon finding water there, some of the herders of that region quarreled over the water with Isaac and his servants; so Isaac decided to move to another location in the valley to dig a second well. As before, he found water, but he likewise received the same response from the herders of Gerar, who claimed that the well and the water therefrom belonged to them. Isaac, then, decided to move on and dig a third well. This time, however, no argument ensued and so Isaac called the place Rehoboth – which means broad place. To recognize his now good fortune, he said, “Now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land” (Genesis 26:22). Consider just two thoughts that we might glean from this narrative in conjunction with the overcrowded conditions of our lives: First, sometimes we have to just move on when our difficulties become too numerous or confounded. We cannot fix every broken situation; we can solve every baffling problem; when the complications we face present challenges that apparently have no viable resolutions, we just may need to leave and try again in another context. Second, we must trust and hope in God, even when we encounter multiple layers of opposition. Isaac did this and eventually found his Rehoboth – his broad place, his plenty, his abundance. We can do likewise with the sustaining assistance and flawless guidance of our caring and loving God. Pastor Parker Page | 3 Elder Jeremy Q. Henry Elder Jeremy Q.

Milkshake is his signature name, tagged him by his neighborhood friends in early childhood because of his insatiable appetite for milkshakes. This name has brought him notable acclaim; that same quenchless taste transcended to his music profession as a signature jazz artist. He is a music major from Clark College (CC); (now Clark-Atlanta University). His trumpet & flugelhorn have taken him all over the world. While on tour with CC’s Jazz Ensemble, he shared local, national & international stages with jazz giants, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington & Cab Calloway & also the late Phyllis Hyman. In the 80s, he was introduced to his most influential jazz trumpeters who he also performed with, the late Clark Terry (his mentor) & Freddie Hubbard. This early exposure to jazz inspired him to form his own band, the Milkshake Quintet (MSQ). He stands on the shoulders of these renowned jazz legends & part of his presentation style mirrors their esteemed professionalism as music moguls. From there, he developed his own unique brand of contemporary & straight ahead style that he describes as “silky-smooth-jazz-seasoned-with-a-taste-of-bebop-&-funk”. He was also influenced by the funky blend of music of the late ‘soulster’, James Brown. His credentials earned him a nomination in the 2016 Gospel Choice Awards in the “Best Music/Instrumentalist” category. It was in the 5th grade that Milkshake received his very first trumpet. That has always been his motivating force to give back to youths through mentoring middle & high school students, locally & in Toccoa, GA (his birth place).
