  • We Are Continuing with Our Summer Movie Netflix Series
    Sermon Message-Series: “Lights, Cinema, Scripture: Beast of No Nation” First Epistle: Romans 8: 1-11 Gospel: Matthew 13: 1-9, 18-23 Sunday July 12, 2020 Preacher: Kirstie J. Engel We are continuing with our summer movie Netflix series, “ Lights, Cinema, Scripture!,” This week we are looking at the movie “Beast of No Nation,” and seeing how our gospel lesson may speak to this movie. So to give a brief movie synopsis of this film for those who may not have been able to tune in; Beasts of No Nation is a 2005 novel by the Nigerian-American author Uzodinma Iweala that later became a movie. The film follows the journey of a young boy, Agu, who is forced to join a group of soldiers in an unnamed West African country after his father and brother was brutally murdered in front of him. His mother and sister was able to go with the UN peacekeepers during that time. The tension of the film settles mainly around Agu and his commander of whom he fears; And as the film progresses, you and I tragically witness Agu’s fledgling childhood brutally shattered by the war raging through his country, You and I witness an innocent child having to face the unimaginable, where at first Agu was conflicted by simultaneous revulsion and fascination with the mechanics of war…..and then we see his life succumb to it; some would say inevitably. And then the pivotal moment comes towards the end when this young troop of boys and teenagers/young adults, turn on their commander when they run out of supplies, ammo and food.

Hirsch, MD Peripheral Artery Disease: Focusing on Vascular in Cardiovascular Health Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a progressive atherosclerotic disease in which one or more peripheral arteries, typically in the lower limbs, are partially or completely obstructed, reducing blood perfusion to the limb.1 Overall, PAD affects approximately 8.5 million Americans, most of them age 65 and older.2 A recent analysis of Medicare3 inpatient and outpatient claims estimated a mean annual incidence of 26.8 per 1,000 and an overall mean annual prevalence of 12.4% for diagnosed PAD. The prevalence is significantly higher in black women and men (16.9% and 13.2%, respectively) compared to white men and women (12.1%, and 10.9%, respectively).3 These estimates do not account for cases of PAD that remain undetected due to low patient and provider awareness of the disorder. Given the growing elderly population, by 2050 an estimated 19 million Americans will have PAD.4 Patients with PAD are at a significant risk of cardiovascular events.
