Full
disclosure, I am "borrowing" this idea from Mr. Tim Ferris, to whose
podcast I occasionally listen. He puts out a weekly email called Five
Bullet Friday in which he briefly highlights five things that have his
attention. So, as imitation is the highest form of flattery, I am grateful for
Mr. Ferris's idea and am shamelessly copying his idea.

The Dying Experience – Myths and Answers
I heard this episode for the first time in January 2016.
I remember walking on the Prayer Path listening to this interview with Barbara
Karnes, a hospice nurse and the author of several books about dying. It was
fascinating. I shared it with the Funeral Planning Class this week, and thought
I’d share it with you. You can listen at the link below, or, if you scroll
down, there is a transcript.
Bible Verse I’m Pondering
Luke 6:36 – “Be merciful just as also your Father is
merciful.”
One Good Thing This Week
A while ago, I noticed a Facebook post from my friend Matt
Pallo about helping to pack Bulldog Bags. Bulldog Bags are bags of food that
get sent home with students who receive meal assistance in Stow-Munroe Falls School
District to help them have enough food for the weekend. There are between
500-600 students with that need in SMF Schools. Today I got to help pack those
bags. (I tied off the bags at the end, after they were filled.) It’s a really
good program, and I hope Gloria Dei will be able to help with Bulldog Bags in
the near future. We’re also looking into Hudson’s version of the same program.
It’s always a good thing to help the kids in our
communities.
Looking Forward to Sunday
This is a special Sunday at Gloria Dei. Ten of our
children will receive the Lord’s Supper for the first time! (An eleventh will
have her First Communion next month.) We give thanks to God for His work in the
lives of these children, their families, and our congregation!
Our Scripture readings for the Seventh Sunday after
Epiphany are:
Genesis 45:3-15
1 Corinthians 15:12-16, 30-42
Luke 6:27-38
The sermon is: Raised
