Iam writing this as a “Happy Birthday”wish to a friend named Al who willbe 90 years of age before the end ofApril. As we approach this important

birthday, there’s a reflective sense of howthings have changed and how, as a person,he has changed with the times.

Good memories are the ones that lingerand Al is blessed with a storehouse of goodmemories. He is happy, friendly, and soughtafter by those who know him well… andhe knows how lucky he is to have a long-time friend who comes each Sunday to takehim to lunch.

Al grew up on a 300-acre farm wherethey were continually busy. Time camewhen he or his brother had to take overthe running of the farm. His brother tookover the management as Al became a USMarine who served his country and hisLord well. As he approaches 90, he is upto sharing his memories if you’re inclinedto hear.

One thing Al feels is lacking in our dayis discipline. So true… and we must finda way to get back to some of our old waysin order to keep ourselves in good steadand our country great.

An anonymous message that crosses ourcomputer forward files regularly reminds meof the attitude of this dear man. The wordsI show in italics are from this message,given freely and anonymously and, tome, are so like Al.

In addition to his visiting friend, Alcan freely say, As I've aged, I have be-come kinder to myself, and less critical ofmyself. I've become my own friend.

He can note that: I have seen too manydear friends leave this world, too soon;before they understood the great freedomthat comes with aging.

I can hear from him: Whose business isit if I choose to read until 4 A.M., or sleepuntil noon? I will dance with myself to thosewonderful tunes of the 50, 60, and 70s, andif I wish to weep over a lost love, I will.

This thought is especially telling of Aland his friend for, on a good Sunday, theygo back to the beach where they used totake the toll. I will walk the beach and Iwill dive into the waves with abandon, if Ifeel like it, despite glances from the jet set.

I can imagine him saying somethinglike this: I know I am sometimes forgetful.There again, some of life is just as wellforgotten. I eventually remember the impor-tant things.

Sure, over the years, my heart has beenbroken. How can your heart not break,when you lose a loved one, or when achild suffers, or when somebody's belovedpet gets hit by a car? Broken hearts giveus strength, understanding, and compas-sion. A heart never broken, is pristine andsterile, and will never know the joy ofbeing imperfect.

I am so blessed to have lived longenough to have my hair turning gray, andto have my youthful laughs be foreveretched on my face. So many have neverlaughed, and so many have died beforetheir hair could turn silver.

As you get older, it is easier to bepositive. You care less about what otherpeople think. I don't question myselfanymore. I've even earned the right tobe wrong.

I like being 90. Aging has set me free.I like the person I have become. I am notgoing to live forever, but while I am here,I will not waste time lamenting what couldhave been, or worrying about what willbe. I shall eat dessert every single day (ifI feel like it).

As he approaches his 90th birthday, hehas been told by his family to please stickaround and celebrate that remarkable day.Knowing Al, I think he could make it past100, if no one runs over his toes! He’s gota good home, he has many friends, he’s ahappy man who’s ready to meet the nextday with that remarkable smile. From all ofus who know you, Al, we wish you “Happy90th Birthday!”…and many more!

also was invited into an apartment to seehow the Cubans construct makeshift sec-ond floors with rickety stairways to accessthe bedroom. Things have changed in Cubain the last two years, but in many ways,nothing has changed at all.

Do you need abreakfromyourCaregiving?

by George Goldtrap

My first job with a studiotelevision operation was inthe very rural hills of Ken-tucky. When the station was

built, technology was very primitive. Wewere black and white only. No network,no video tape, no teleprompters. Big, sin-gle-case power transmitters did not exist.Max power, (316K watts for VHF sta-tions), was reached by stringing a seriesof lower power transformers together,building power as they were added. Suchwas the case in this new station. Imme-diately behind the control panel was ourline of transformers… I’m guessing 6or 8 of them… increasing the broadcastpower toward the needed 316K.

This many power units in a non air-conditioned building, (I told you it wasprimitive), created a heat problem… espe-cially in the midst of a hot Kentucky sum-mer. The engineers tried everything…big fans, open windows… even an audio-phier. A what? An audiophier... but let’sstart at the beginning.

In an effort to keep the heat down, tokeep the studio cool, and keep the trans-formers from ‘blowing’ the engineerscame up with a novel approach. Muchlike an automobile cools its cylinders,engineers surrounded the transformerswith a piping system filled with severalhundred gallons of water, continuouslypumped thru several fan cooled auto-mobile radiators. These were mountedon a pad by a window through which theextracted heat was dispersed. Nobodybut our illustrious General Manager, aretired RCA engineer, could devise sucha monstrosity. This homemade systemworked. The transformer temps wentdown, the control room was cooler, andeverybody was happy.

Like most TV stations we often hostedvisitors in groups. Scouts, school classes,clubs, etc. toured our facilities, we wereafter all the only TV station between twobig cities. Any staffer who was not busybecame a tour host. On this particularday, the sports director was assigned tolead the tour. He was a good choice. Heloved showing folks around and couldbe very inventive with words… especiallywhen he had no clue. He could splainthe various thangs about TV bett’er thananybody in the county.

The group moved through the officeswhere our guide splained nicely how pro-gramming and time sales generated ourprofits. He’d stop by the art desk for abrief explanation of how commercial artcontributed to our work… then on to thefilm room where they observed editingand timing… and through the studio wherethey could see the 'sets' where news/weather/sports was reported and the

children's show set where the host'smagic and happy characters made chil-dren laugh.

Finally, the master control room. Ourgenial host stopped at the director’s deskand defined all the butt’ns and fader bars,the audio control panel, the ligh’n systemand how each contributed to our livepitures. He then tried to answer everyquestion… as best he understood thesystem. Finally, the tour group turned tosee the row of powerful transformers asthe tour host splained how, using 316Kwatts of power, they eventually shot thepicture up the 1,100 foot tower in ourbackyard. ‘Why… the pitures’ hewould splain, ‘went right through theair’! Any questions?’ Yep!

One gentleman in the group was a‘shade tree’ mechanic. He knew enoughabout cars to recognize an automobileradiator when he saw one and was puz-zled why several of them belonged in abroadcast control room.

‘May I ask', he inquired, ‘What’s this’pointing to the strange water coolingdevice? ‘Oh that’ said the host quickly…not having a clue himself as to what itwas or how it functioned… ‘that is ouraudiophier’! It’s brand new and wasbuilt right here in our building by ourown engineers”… adding that ‘it helpedaudiophi’ the sound. The control roomcrew of engineers and directors couldhardly contain their laughter. An audio-phier? ‘Yea really,’ they snickered undertheir breath… ‘and it is the first of itskind on the face of the earth!’

Not a soul in the tour group ques-tioned the answer… not even the gen-tleman who had offered the question.Probably none of them had ever beforeseen an audiophier. Little wonder sinceno such device existed.

Quickly the studio crew and air staffpicked up on the fun. Anytime we ac-quired a new piece of equipment it wasquickly dubbed an audiophier or a boosteraudiophier—or some such nonsense.Our station probably had more audio-phiers than any other TV station in thecountry—especially since no stationhad any.

Each time we hosted another tourgroup, we gave the task to our expert. Heknew how to splain thangs… real good!It's nice to be so well informed. ST

Special to Seniors Today

With the winter months’ endin sight and now spring ap-proaching, you might bethinking of spring clean-

ing, spring planting, and all the outdooractivities that you have not been able to doover the past months. Springtime is anopportunity to focus not only on plantinga garden but also seeds of better health.

Did you know that being physically activeand eating well may help you stay fit andfeel fabulous over the years? If you are over-weight or inactive, you may have a higherrisk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, andother serious health problems you mayencounter in your senior years.

The Weight-control Information Network(WIN), a service of the National Instituteof Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Dis-eases, part of the National Institutes ofHealth, encourages you to think about yourhealth. To help you improve your health thisspring, WIN offers the following ideas:

Move More By Finding YourFavorite Activity

• Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity(at moderate intensity) each day. This canbe as simple as brisk walking.You can walkwith a friend or even walk the dog. (If youdon’t have a dog, you can offer to walk theneighbor’s dog.) If you don’t have 30 min-utes all at one time, break it up into 10-minute bouts, three times a day. Park yourcar further away at stores to encouragemore walking in your day.

• Physical activity does not have to beexpensive routine. There are many activ-ities that are free or low cost, such as enjoy-ing the scenery at the park or checking outa fitness video or DVD from the library. Bychanging up your activities each day, youcan find fun activities that are differentand exciting.

• Make chores fun by putting some en-ergy into them. Washing the car, plantingseeds and bulbs, sweeping floors, rakingleaves, and other chores all count as waysto be active.

• Set goals and work to keep your lifeas physically active as possible. ST

Q: I have a political stickpin issuedduring Barry Goldwater's presidentialcampaign of 1964. It is in perfect con-dition. What is it worth?

—Theresa, Surprise, ArizonaA: There were dozens of Goldwater

pins issued during his campaign. Someof the most popular ones were a red andblue button with a white arrow pointingto the right, “AU H20 1964,” and anelephant with Goldwater's trademarkblack eye glasses. Most of the Goldwa-ter buttons sell in the $5 to $25 range,according to Warman's Political Col-lectibles: Identification And Price Guideby Dr. Enoch L. Nappen.

***Q: I have an old pedal car that is

probably from the 1940s. It needs tobe restored, and I wonder if you canrecommend someone.

According to the Mayo Clinic,most people will experienceback pain at least once in theirlifetime. The intensity of lower

back pain is in accordance to the intensity ofthe injury. Pain lasting for days or weeks isconsidered acute. Pain lasting for months isconsidered chronic. Lower back pain is usu-ally triggered by a combination of overuse,muscle strain, or injury to the muscles, lig-aments, and discs that support the spine.This leads to tension on muscles, bones,discs, and ligaments making the low backprone to injury.

Symptoms of lower back pain includestabbing or shooting pain, muscle ache, painradiating down the leg, poor posture, inflex-ibility, and limited range of motion. Com-mon causes of lower back pain may includeimproper or heavy lifting, injury or overuse,sudden or awkward movements, structuralproblems such as sciatica, arthritis, ruptureddiscs, or skeletal irregularities.

Acupuncture treatments provide a safe,natural way to alleviate lower back pain.The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)sees the human body as an integrated being.It works with vital energies inherent withinall living things to promote the body’s abil-ity to heal itself. Qi (pronounced “chee”)is a vital energy that flows through merid-ians, pathways that run throughout the entirebody. Qi protects the body from illnessand provides nourishment to cells, tissues,muscles, and organs.

During acupuncture treatments, fine,sterile needles are inserted at specific acu-points along these meridians to release Qi,unblock obstructions and correct imbalance.

The benefits of acupuncture for backpain include clearing compression/pinchednerves, increasing blood circulation, relax-ing stiffened muscles, reducing inflamma-tion, promoting tissues healing, improvingrange of movement and flexibility, and deac-tivating cycle of pain by increasing amountsof natural pain relievers in the brain (sero-tonin, nor epinephrine, and dopamine).

During an acupuncture treatment, spe-cific acupuncture points are stimulated tobalance bioelectric energy circulation andpromote the body’s own natural healingabilities. A balance of energy in the bodyyields mind-body relaxation and optimizedphysiological functions of the body. Thewhole procedures last about 20 minutes,during which time patients are very relaxedand comfortable.

His hands always seemed cal-lused and worn. His long slen-der face was full of crevicesand cracks and his skin seemed

to have the texture of tanned cowhide. Hispersonality was not better than his looks.

Some said he was eighty, others thoughthe looked well over a hundred.

One thing was certain. He did not havefriends and had either out-lived his rela-tives or had run them all away.

It was strange the way I met the fellow.I had by accident made the wrong turndown a two rut lane that led way back intothe west Georgia foothills of Carroll County.

My duties of collecting had taken mealong several such roads. Those hard-to-find folks always seemed to live whereyou would had to cross acouple of creeks and drivethrough hollows to find theirhidden house.

This was no exception, andwhen I came upon an oldwooden dilapidated shacksitting at the top of a hill, Iwas not surprised. I pulled up near thehouse and stepped out of my truck. Therewas no one in sight, so I made a few stepstoward the front porch and heard a lowgrowl coming from under the house.

“That’s not good,” I thought as I triedto retrace my steps back to the truck.

Then I heard someone say, “you heardme,” or that was my best interpretation ofwhat I heard.

Although it was still daylight, the sunhad started to go down behind the treesand I was having a hard time seeing theperson who had spoken to me.

“I’m looking for Bill Session,” I said.The man then stepped out of the shad-

ows and started walking toward me withthe dog by his side.

As best I could I kept an eye on the dog.He didn’t look too friendly to me.

The old man did not say a word and fora few seconds we just stood there in com-plete silence.

For lack of a better reason, I spoke firstand told him who I was and why I wasthere looking for Bill. Then I stood therewith a long dead silence.

Now that I was close enough to see hisface when he did speak, I was able to findout he had asked me what I was doing onhis property. The old man spoke with alisp and his words were almost unrecog-nizable to me.

He explained to me that the fellow Iwas looking for lived in the next hollow.

As strange as it may sound, I ended upstaying and talking to that old man for about45 minutes. He had an old beat-up pickup

truck next to the house andtalking about that old truckhad been most of our conver-sation that day.

It wasn’t until after I hadbeen to his house that I heardall the wild tales about whata mean old man he was.

When I left, I invited him to come bymy store one a day for a visit.

About a month later I saw the old truckpull up in the parking lot.

One of my employees saw him as welland told the others who it was, and theyall went to the back of the store.

He had a paper bag in his hand whenhe came through the door. I met him inthe aisle and he actually had a big ol’ smileon his face.

We shook hands and he handed me thepaper sack. “I kilt and cooked these furyou,” he said. I cracked the bag open andlooked inside. There were four squirrelsrolled up in a piece of aluminum foil inthe bag.

We talked for a few minutes and thenhe told me he had to get back home. Thatold fellow brought me fried squirrels at leasta dozen more times before I moved away.

I never did have the heart to tell him Ididn’t like fried squirrels. ST

Peripheral Neuropathy is a conditionwhere there is damage to nervesof the peripheral nervous system,which may be caused either by dis-

ease or trauma or the side-effects of a sys-temic illness such as Diabetes type 2. Themost common form is (symmetrical) periph-eral poly neuropathy, which mainly affectsthe feet and legs. Frequently the cause of aneuropathy cannot be identified and may beassociated with different combinations ofweakness, autonomic changes, and sensorychanges. Loss of muscle bulk may be seen.

Symptoms depend on the type of nervesaffected (motor, sensory, or autonomic) andwhere the nerves are located in the body.One or more types of nerves may be af-fected. Common symptoms associated withdamage to the motor nerve are muscle weak-ness, cramps, and spasms. Loss of balanceand coordination may also occur. Damage tothe sensory nerve can produce tingling,numbness, and a burning pain. Freezing orelectric-like, extreme sensitivity to touchmay also occur.

In Oriental Medicine, symptoms are di-agnosed based on pattern differentiation.With variations in lifestyle, diet, and otherfactors, we function differently from oneanother and that will lead to a differentpathology even if symptom manifestation isalike. We determine what is causing thesymptoms currently presenting, and developa treatment protocol for the patient.

Acupuncture along with herbal prescrip-tion, proper nutrition, and lifestyle changes,can alleviate numbness, tingling, and burn-ing by regulating body’s energy flow andadequate blood supply to the site as wellas removing stagnation. Inadequate diet,aging, side effect from chemotherapy and

radiation, stressful lifestyle, and chronicdiseases also contribute to the aggravationof the symptoms and those issues can beaddressed and modified accordingly.

Acupuncture along the damaged nerveroute can depolarize the abnormal electricalimbalance; thus correcting or reducing thespontaneous firing of nerve impulses. Fur-thermore, decreased motor function cancause adhesions along the nerve route.

Physical therapy will accelerate healingby breaking up these adhesions and reducingthe choking effect of the nerve entrapments.

With acupuncture and physical therapymany patients that suffer from PeripheralNeuropathy are getting great results withmore sensation to their legs and feet.

Section BApril 13, 2012

by Tyler Stover

Around Easter, people are temptedto buy a cute bunny for a childor grandchild. This is rarely agood choice, however. When

adopting a bunny or adult rabbit, there aremany factors to consider, and the decisionshould not be made on an impulse.

The result for rabbits adopted as EasterBunnies is rarely a good one. Many rabbitslive a shortened life due to neglect, im-proper diet, or injury due to mishandling.Rabbits released into the wild suffer an evenworse fate. A domesticated rabbit left tofend for itself in the wild has an averageof three days to live, as it stands no chance

against predatory animals. Animal shel-ters also see a huge jump in rabbit surren-der rates following Easter.

Domesticated rabbits have a life ex-pectancy of around ten years. Older rab-bits in animal shelters face difficulty find-ing a home, because most people want ababy rabbit. Older rabbits tend to makebetter pets. They are more tolerant of chil-dren and have reached their more affec-tionate adult personality.

A rabbit can make a wonderful com-panion, but their care requires time andresources, as with any pet. Bunnies are cuteand cuddly and may tolerate handling, butthey quickly grow into adults. Adult rab-

bits can range in size from 5-8 pounds,sometimes even larger. Though childrenmay be expected to provide daily care,children and bunnies are often a bad com-bination. While playing, children mayaccidentally and permanently injure babybunnies by dropping them, resulting in abroken back. Rabbits are also not com-fortable being held for extended periods,and because they are animals of prey, aresubject to sudden jumping when frightened.

Now that Easter is over, this is the correcttime for you and your family to decide ifa rabbit is the correct decision for yourhome. In the right situation, a house rabbitcan be a wonderful choice. Rabbits are intel-

ligent, social creatures. They are playful, joy-ful creatures, can learn their name and comewhen called, and can be litter box trained.

If you and your family have thoughteverything through and have decided thata rabbit is right for you, please make theresponsible decision to rescue a spayed orneutered rabbit from a local animal shel-ter. You can visit the Critter Room to seethe rabbits we have, or look for them on ourwebsite: halifaxhumanesociety.org/otheranimals.cfm ST

Gout is caused by the depositof uric acid crystals in thejoints, resulting in severeswelling and pain. This dis-

ease mostly affects men between theages of 30 and 45 and women between55 and 70. Gout is commonly seen inpeople who are obese and suffer fromdiabetes or hyperlipidemia.

Uric acid, a substance from the break-down of purine from food or our ownbody, usually dissolves in our blood,passing through the kidneys, and thenexcreted though urine. However, if thebody produces more uric acid than thekidneys can excrete, the uric acid canaccumulate in the joints and kidneys.When uric acid builds up in our joints,creating urate crystals, it can triggerintense swelling and pain.

This process can occur in almost anyjoint such as ankles, knees, or elbows.However the big toe is usually the firstone to be affected. A gout attack is nor-mally very sudden and is triggered byfluctuations in serum uric acid, pro-duced by excessive intake of certainfoods and alcohol, trauma, or diuretictherapy. A person can go to bed feel-ing fine and wake up with an excruci-ating painful, hot, and swollen big toe.Between attacks, the patient can feel

perfectly fine. However, attacks canrecur in several months to several years.Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) and corticosteroids are veryeffective for acute gout attacks.

Another drug used in treating goutis Colchicine. Its use is limited because ofGI side effects. If you are taking Allop-urinol or Uloric, these should not bechanged during gout attack as they couldalso affect your serum uric acid level.

The best method to help reduce yourrisk of subsequent gout attacks is toreduce uric acid in the blood. Allopeuri-nol and Uloric are both powerful drugsto reduce uric acid production.

Lifestyle change, maintaining a sen-sible weight and eating habit are essen-tial. Foods with high purine should beavoided. Alcohol consumption also mustbe limited. Not only will this help reducegout attacks, but it will also help youfight against hypertension, diabetes,and high cholesterol.

Stay Active For Better Health

Physical activity is good for yourhealth no matter what your age.As we age, we find that flexibil-ity decreases. As much as 30 per-

cent of our flexibility can be lost as we growolder. Remaining active can help main-tain flexibility and strength, helping us tostay independent longer. If you haven’tbeen active, it’s never too late to get started.The first thing you should do is talk toyour health care provider. Then follow someof these guidelines:

Take time to warm up, cool down, andstretch allowing your muscles and jointsto get ready and avoid injury.

Start slowly and build up to more intenseactivity. Begin with a ten minute walk, threetimes a week. Slowly increase the time andnumber of days.

Wear the proper clothes; light weightclothing for summer and layers of cloth-ing for cooler temperatures, and wear shoesthat fit well and are right for the activity.

Remember to apply sunscreen, wear sun-glasses, and a hat for sun protection.

Aerobic activities, like walking, swim-ming, gardening, and housework, can helpyou to strengthen your heart and loweryour blood pressure and cholesterol. Itkeeps your joints moving and reduces thepain from arthritis, lowers stress andboosts moods, and gives you more energy.

Strengthening activities include liftinglight weights and lifting or digging tasksin the garden and also housework tasks.Strengthening activities help keep musclesand bones strong, reducing the risk of bonefractures, decreasing the need for a cane,and keep you independent longer.

Balancing activities can help keep youstanding on your feet and avoid falls. Trystanding up from a chair and sitting downagain without using your hands for support.Repeat this activity a few times. Standingon one foot or walking a straight line, healto toe will help increase your balance skills.

Flexibility activities involve stretching.Stretching benefits you by helping to main-tain the movement of muscles and joints.It prevents the stiffness experienced bysome older adults and injuries as well aslowering stress.

Choose activities that you like to do andthen round out from there with other exer-cises. Any amount of activity you do isbetter than none at all.ST

Hot tears seared my eyes. Iclutched the phone like alifeline. “Tom, can you comehelp me?” In desperation, I

was calling a family friend for help.For three months, my husband hadlived in extreme pain. After shovelingtwo feet of snow off our driveway, Genehad injured his back. He had seen doc-tors and specialists. They ordered X-rays, bloodwork, MRIs, and physicaltherapy. They prescribed pills. Nothingrelieved my husband's agony.

Each visit to the doctor involved tak-ing more tests, waiting for results, andscheduling yet another appointment.Days turned into weeks. Weeks turnedinto months. Now Gene could barelystand. He had lost more than 30 pounds.Nights were filled with long hours ofprayer since sleep was impossible.

At my wits’ end, I punched Tom'snumber into the phone. Our childrenhad married and moved out of state.Tom was like an adopted son, and stilllived nearby.

Twenty minutes later, Tom stoodgrinning at our door. Under his arm was

a stack of DVDs, treasured movies fromhis childhood. He greeted Gene andthen set up the laptop next to his bed.We watched a film that transported usall to a world far from our troubles.

During the next weeks, Tom helpedme get Gene in and out of the car as wewent to medical appointments. He lis-tened not just to Gene's pain, but to mysorrow as well. When I needed any help,Tom volunteered.

After Gene spent more than a weekin the hospital, the orthopedist discov-ered that Gene had a staph infectionhidden deep inside his spine. After sixlong months, the dark curtain over ourlives slowly lifted. Today, Gene is ableto do everything he wants... exceptshovel snow.

And Tom? He performed no delicatesurgery. He offered no miracle drug. Thehope and encouragement he infused intomy caregiver's heart were better med-icine than any prescription written bya doctor.

All I had to do was call. STVisit the Chicken Soup For The Soul

Moments In Time


by Sam MazzottaTop Dog

Dear Paw’s Corner: Settle an argu-ment my friend and I are having. I thinkthat terrier dogs are the most popular pet(among dog owners). My friend saysLabs are the most popular. What's youropinion on this?

—Beth C., Trenton, NJ

Dear Beth: The American KennelClub recently released its registrationstatistics for 2011, which revealed thatamong registered pets, the Labradorretriever was the most popular breed inthe United States. In fact, the Labradorretriever has held that top spot for 21years. The Yorkshire terrier placed fifthamong AKC registrations.

Here are the top 10 breeds for the2011–12 year:

1. Labrador retriever2. German shepherd3. Beagle4. Golden retriever5. Yorkshire terrier6. Bulldog7. Boxer8. Poodle

9. Dachshund10. RottweilerNow, this may or may not settle the

argument. Unregistered dogs, of course,aren't on there, nor are many adoptedshelter pets. It's a pretty good barom-eter of the type of dogs, in terms of size,behavior traits, and other elements, thatcurrently are popular among owners.

Farther down the list—more than 100breeds were ranked—you'll find the var-ious terrier breeds, such as the Bostonterrier (Number 22) and West Highlandwhite terrier (Number 35) to name a cou-ple. Breed popularity tends to jumparound: Bulldogs ranked Number 19 adecade ago, but today sit at Number 6.

At any rate, take the loss in stride.Make peace over a frosty beverage, andtake comfort in knowing that the mostpopular dog for you is the one youchoose (or that chooses you). ST

Ihave long thought the church made amistake by creating a group calledReverends to deliver the message ofthe church. When a group is desig-

nated to do a job, everyone tends to stayon the sidelines and watch them do it. Thetruth is we are all ministers.

When I was a young man, I thought Imight become a “reverend.” At the time Iwas not even clear on what I believed so Iquit after being brutalized by church politics.

If I can keep one person from goingthrough what I went through to find myministry, I will be happy.

Don’t let anyone tell you the preachingministry is the only place where God callspeople. A lady who believed that told mysister she worried because I “had not fol-lowed the call of God.” My sister told her,“He is a minister as we all are. He has min-istered as a teacher, a politician, in music,and as a writer.”

That lady, just like my Aunt Carrie,labors under the misunderstanding that Godonly calls preachers. No, God opens allkinds of doors for ministry in our lives. Wemay minister in a half dozen ways over thecourse of a lifetime.

Just recently my area was hit by sev-eral tornadoes. People have been showingup with trucks and backhoes and all kinds ofequipment to help those who were hit. Askthose who lost their homes how they feelabout the ministry of “helps.” I am tellingyou, those who humbly help others in anykind of way are some of the best Chris-tians of all. Seldom do they seek the highseats or strive for acclaim. Their reward isin doing the Lord’s work on Earth.

Just as a rose ministers by its aroma,we all minister by just being who we are,following our own leadings from the HolySpirit and our own heart.

Even Paul’s long list of ministers wastoo short. For example, he did not even men-tion music and that’s a major training areain any Christian college today. In Paul’s daythey did not have ministers of music but itis a great way to attract people to Jesus. Itis not accidental that when Billy Gra-ham does his invitation to call people to

accept Jesus, that he uses music. Musicprepares the heart.

An Englishman had this put on his tomb-stone: “Here lies John Smyth who cobbledshoes in this town 40 years to the glory ofGod.” John Smyth has always inspired me.Yes, one can cobble shoes to the glory ofGod. And if you cobble shoes to the gloryof God, some of the glory will splash offthe shoes and into the hearts of the peopleyou serve. You will be a minister of theLord Jesus Christ.

Minister in your own way with your owngifts, wherever you are and realize at alltimes that there are no high and low gifts.They are all wonderful! ST

Joy Seyfried grew up in Aus-tralia, and then moved to theUnited States in 1948. She broughtalong an local emu egg in case

she became homesick. That whoppingbig egg from an ostrich relative wasbroken years ago, but it has been thestart of her Easter egg collection.

Joy acquired a New York City accentbefore moving to Florida a quarter ofa century ago. She has collected nearly100 colorful Easter eggs from shopsduring her travels throughout UnitedStates and Europe, and as gifts fromfriends over the years. Some wereactually made by her when her chil-

dren were small. “We poked a tiny pinhole in each end of a raw egg andblew and blew. I thought I wouldexplode, but everything finally cameout and I decorated them myself.”

Joy moved into Bishops Glen Retire-ment Community in Holly Hill in 2012and enjoys sharing these colorful trea-sures each year with neighbors in herapartment lobby where she puts themthem on display for all to enjoy. ST
