AU Mission Trip to Haiti

On March 17, 27 students will be flying to the city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, during spring break. They will be building an addition onto an orphanage, provide a medical clinic, as well as put on a VBS program for the children. Your financial support would be greatly appreciated as they go to be Jesus’ hands and feet. You can donate by going to http://www.andrews.edu/go/give/2cm and in the instructions box write, “Students Haiti.”

All I Really Needed to Know I Learned From My Mother

On Monday morning my beloved mother (Barbara Watts Nelson Rienderhoff) peacefully fell asleep in Jesus while resting at her home in Banning CA. The attending nurse remarked that it was as peaceful a way to die as you could wish. She was 88. I’m so grateful I got to spend three days with her on her birthday just before Thanksgiving. Her condition deteriorated rather rapidly in December. My sister Kari flew down from Sacramento twice the week before Christmas to be with her.

PMC Office Closed

New Year House of Prayer

Let’s join together to welcome the New Year with a prayer service on Wednesday evening, January 4, 7:00, in the Pioneer sanctuary. Given how 2017 is already shaping up to become, isn’t it high time God’s people band together in collective prayer? “Call upon Me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you; and you will glorify Me” (Psalm 50:13). “We should pray as earnestly for the descent of the Holy Spirit as the disciples prayed on the day of Pentecost. If they needed it at that time, we need it more today” (Prayer 119). So come with your Bible. Let’s pray.

Christmas Peanuts*

Some time ago Charles Schultz’s syndicated Peanuts cartoon went apocalyptic. Frame 1: Lucy to Charlie Brown, “I don’t worry about the world coming to an end anymore.” Frame 2: She continues, “The way I figure it, the world can’t come to an end today because it is already tomorrow in some other part of the world.” Frame 3: Lucy turns and asks Charlie Brown, “Isn’t that a comforting theory?” Final frame: Lucy smiling but Charlie Brown muttering, “I’ve never felt so comforted in all my life!”

Cleopatra's Nose - Part Two

Her nose is hardly the stuff of Christmas, to be sure. But there may be a Noel connection yet. My last blog noted that the French mathematician philosopher, Blaise Pascal, a devout Christian (1623-1662), wrote in his Pensees that had Cleopatra’s nose “been shorter the whole face of the earth would have been different” (No 413). I.e., such a small but attractive detail (her nose) left Mark Anthony’s heart smitten, plunging him into a war for her, forever changing the Roman Empire which changed the world we live in today. Etc.
