We believe the Bible is God’s living word, not just an ancient book with stories that seem odd or hard to understand! Throughout Lent, this daily devotional will give us stories and examples of how the Bible and faith animate the lives of those who are in our Midvale church community. And our Midvale community is alive! We are grateful for each author and their willingness to share their devotion with us. In addition to the daily devotions, we invite everyone to join with Midvale in our Wednesday Lent opportunities. There are small groups that explore the “Animate the Bible” curriculum, there are simple meals, and there are meaningful worship services each week both in the morning and in the evening. We hope and pray that you experience renewal and that you feel the power of the love of God for you as you journey through Lent with Midvale. In Christ, Pastor Katie Baardseth and Pastor Blake Rohrer ASH WEDNESDAY - February 26, 2020 Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover them, and not to hide yourself from your own kin? Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly; your vindicator shall go before you, the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am. - Isaiah 58:6-9 It has long been a tradition to “give up” things for Lent. The idea is like fasting – when you feel hungry or miss those items you are avoiding, you are to think of Jesus and be reminded of all Jesus gave for you. This can be a meaningful spiritual process. For me, I have always felt more motivated by the challenge to “take up” something during Lent, rather than “give up” something. Sometimes I have found that my sacrifices in givin up something end up being more about me than about God or others. Sometimes the things I give up seem so inconsequential that I wonder if it really is helping me connect with Jesus. What Isaiah challenges me to do is focus on taking up the needs of those around me. How can I daily show God’s merciful love to my family, a neighbor, friend, co-worker or even a stranger? They say it takes about forty days of doing something differently to develop a new habit. What if I get so used to looking for opportunities to act in kindness because of Jesus’ love for me that it becomes part of my daily routine beyond Lent? Dear Jesus, help me to show love and mercy to others as you did. Amen. Pastor Blake Rohrer Pastor Blake serves as co-pastor with his wife, Katie Baardseth. They have two teenage daughters, Kristina and Sigrid. February 27, 2020 At the close of Mary Oliver’s poem “The Summer Day,” she asks: Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? Ah, such a question, worthy of pause. In those two lines the poet addresses such a magnitude of wants and needs we as mortals have, the prompting of the soul at moments in our lives, the reminder we have this one beautiful life. Somehow her phrasing says it in such a deep, intimate way. There is the “Tell me” which calls us to respond, to communicate to that voice of inquiry, to consider the question of planning and doing, the notion that we have this one extraordinary experience of life, wild and precious. I have used that poem with students at the beginning of a Fall semester, still a summer day, and that stirring question at the end of the poem, especially relevant to students beginning a new graduate program, ripe for dream and inspiration and doing. I have asked myself that question after first eading it in a collection of poems from 1990, The House of Light. Where was my “House of Light,” the illumination to consider the great lively questions of this life, my life? I have stumbled, fallen, and risen in my own quest for that house of belonging, that light. That is the question which stirred my desire for communion with the divine, connection with a spiritual community, more. I found Midvale Community Lutheran Church by serendipity and the grace of God, coming for a volunteer activity for the first time, hearing the voice of God leading me here, hearing these words: This would be a good place for you. I had been searching mightily for that arousal of spirit, the gentle prompting that gave me pause. I returned that Sunday and wondered how I would respond to a liturgical service again, to a new faith, to a church community. I was greeted by The Twins who sat near me and helped me feel welcome, commenting on my last name and Swedes of old from Rockford, and by the attentiveness of Pastor Katie, who saw me sitting in the Gathering Space, pondering my participation (stay or go?), welcoming me warmly, following up with an affi ming note. How did she know what I was seeking? The Lord works in mysterious ways, wonders to perform. Thanks be to God! Lord be present this day, calling me with words that quicken my spirit. May each day be wild and precious. Thank you for this life. Amen. Anne Lundin Anne is a retired UW professor of Library and Information Studies, always at home in books. She and her husband Tom Lovett are grateful for the opportunities for fellowship and service that Midvale offers, our House of Light. February 28, 2020 I’m enjoying the fact that it’s the year 2020. It’s helping me keep in mind that I would love to achieve perfect vision. (No, I’m not getting laser surgery.) What I want is to keep remembering to see the world as a place where I can continually find opportunities t love. Easy, right? Yes, actually… but oftentimes in hindsight. “Ooooo, I could have said that a little nicer” “Oops, I should have offered to help” “Oh, I guess I should have listened better.” …So my hope is to start seeing those opportunities more and more clearly as they’re coming. What’s hilarious about trying to practice something new is how bad we can be at it when we’re getting started. I’ll sometimes wake up in the morning and meditate for 20 minutes on choosing loving words as the first things I want to say (I have teenagers :) I’ll finish my meditation feeling all uplifted and eady for the day, and then a grumpy morning kid comes in and says something grumpy and literally the first thing out of my mouth is very much the opposite of loving. Doh! Instant fail. Start over. …And here’s been the key for me. The starting over bit. I’m getting much better at apologizing when I miss my chance, and it helps me see faster how to put love there. It’s always a relief to me that starting over exists… and that it works. Also! A beautiful side effect that I’ve been experiencing is that the quick letting-go of missed opportunities is actually making the seeing-them-as-they’re-coming easier too. I don’t know why it’s working that way but I’m excited and hopeful about this year :) Dear Lord, help us to see the world clearly, as a place for us to share your Love in every moment. And thank you for making every moment new. Amen. Marie Nordeng I’ve spent some years running a program on kindness and acceptance in the middle schools and am currently training to be a yoga instructor. I hope to teach yoga to teenagers as an added tool for managing anxiety and depression and maintaining a sense of joy and calm. February 29, 2020 High School Football Team The epitome of bonding. All for the team. Injury and machismo aside, it really, really is a great experience, as is any intense group bonding for a common, positive goal. Never as an adult, did I think this adolescent experience could be topped. Moreover, had you told Judi (wife) and me 20 years ago that such a large part of a wonderful life was centered around church, you would have been greeted with eye rolls. Little did we know that such a fine example of humanity would gather together to fo m our congregation.

  • The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception Presents Nothing Less Than a New, Highly Significant Perspective on Christianity
    Scanned & Semi-Proofed by Cozette History/Religion/Archaeology "An engrossing read....A racy tale of archaeological sins, religious bigotry, academic megalomania, misconduct and possible criminality, along with bizarre political intrigue." —Antiquity (U.K.) The oldest Biblical manuscripts in existence, the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in caves near Jerusalem in 1947, only to be kept a tightly held secret for nearly fifty more years, until the Huntington Library unleashed a storm of controversy in 1991 by releasing copies of the Scrolls. In this gripping investigation authors Baigent and Leigh set out to discover how a small coterie of orthodox biblical scholars gained control over the Scrolls, allowing access to no outsiders and issuing a strict "consensus" interpretation. The authors' questions begin in Israel, then lead them to the corridors of the Vatican and into the offices of the Inquisition. With the help of independent scholars, historical research, and careful analysis of available texts, the authors reveal what was at stake for these orthodox guardians: The Scrolls present startling insights into early Christianity—insights that challenge the Church's version of the "facts." More than just a dramatic expose of the intrigues surrounding these priceless documents, The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception presents nothing less than a new, highly significant perspective on Christianity.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • 1Dancing with Skinheads
    1DANCING WITH SKINHEADS When we arrived in Nuremberg, Germany, I felt feverish and sick. My head was pounding, and I felt very weak. We were scheduled to play in the Komm. It was the famous headquarters for left-wing Communists and other counterculture groups at that time. It was a hangout for a fascist skinhead youth gang dedicated to violence and neo-Nazi ideas. The rockabillies and psychobillies were into fighting the skinheads and punks. As far as the organizer knew, this was the first time a Christian EXAMPLE #111 band had ever played there.

    Sundays of Lent 2021 Messages From Pastor Staker Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA) Russell, Kentucky “Ash Wednesday” – Feb. 17 – “A Place Of Resurrection” First Sunday in Lent – Feb. 21 – “Just Water!” Second Mid-Week Lenten Service – Feb. 24 – “Living With A Resurrection Heart” Second Sunday in Lent – Feb. 28 – “Be A Loser” Third Mid-Week Lenten Service – Mar. 3 – “An Illogically Logical Faith” Third Sunday in Lent – Mar. 7 – “What’s Eating Jesus” Fourth Mid-Week Lenten Service – Mar. 10 – “Cross Contamination” Fourth Sunday in Lent – Mar. 14 – “Snake Bit” Fifth Mid-Week Lenten Service – Mar. 17 – “A God’s Eye View Of Your Past and Present” Fifth Sunday in Lent – Mar. 21 – “The Beauty Of The Cross” Sixth Mid-Week Lenten Service – Mar. 24 – “What Is Reverent Submission?” “A PLACE OF RESURRECTION” Message for “Ash Wednesday” From Pastor Norman Staker February 17,2021 JOEL 2: 1-2, 12-17 – 2 COR 5: 20b-6:10 – MATTHEW 6: 1-6, 16-21 GRACE, MERCY, AND PEACE FROM GOD OUR FATHER AND FROM OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. AMEN. HE IS RISEN! Jesus warns us to practice our piety, our devoutness, our religiosity, in secret. We are not to give alms, to pray, to fast in a way that plays to an audience of other people. Instead, we are to do these things in secret. And in each case, to this secret practice a blessing is attached. As Jesus tells it, “your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” Hearing these words this evening, if we were or actually are together, on this the first day of Lent, means that whatever we do by way of Lenten practices is not done for a human audience, whether others or ourselves.
