GOOD SAMARITAN CHURCH THE MESSENGER VOLUME 108 ISSUE 3 MARCH 2019 FROM THE PASTOR S DESK GET READY TO COME ALIVE At the start of Lent we will hear about the prophet Ezekiel s strange yet wonderful vision a valley full of dry brittle bones Ezekiel 37 1 14 God practically shoves Ezekiel toward these bones encouraging him to prophesy over these skeletons which may perhaps have felt a little ridiculous to Ezekiel He is supposed to command them to come to life promising that God will breathe life back into them attach tendons and cover them in skin Who knows what Ezekiel was thinking as he stood to preach life to what was dead Maybe he trusted God so wholeheartedly that he never had a moment s doubt Maybe he thought he was standing to make an utter fool of himself not thinking for a moment these bones would actually rise and then found himself startled half to death when they started rattling beneath his feet Whatever is running through his head in his vision he does stand and prophesy life over death and these dry brittle bones do indeed raise to life His vision of course echoes the Easter good news We are often so quick to dismiss what we deem dead the part of us we don t think will ever revive after someone betrayed us or broke our heart the part of us that feels like it died with our loved one the hateful neighbor that we ve given up on and don t think is capable of love the child friend or addict we decide is too damaged or messed up or toxic to be saved the broken political system that seems to make little progress forward the part of our selfworth that was tied up in our appearance or our work and now feels like it will never return as our body or occupation changes the relationship with our family members that died a slow painful death over the years as we grew more and more distant Lent is about daring to be foolish enough to step into all those dead valleys and call out to what is dead audaciously believing that Easter resurrection can come will come is coming has already come That God is breathing life even into the places in our lives and our world that feel most dead most beyond repair or reconciliation And here is the wonderful thing Even if we don t believe even if hints of doubt or despair cloud our hope nevertheless God persists and those bones may start to rattle right in front of us So don t resign yourself to the despair of the death you feel all around you Instead acknowledge the reality of death dust to dust ashes to ashes and then prepare to be startled by life anyway As the band Gungor sings You God make beautiful things out of the dust I look forward to the journey of Lent with you Are you ready for life Pastor Jen THANK YOU TO OUR OFFICE VOLUNTEERS As many of you know we have been without an office administrator since right before Thanksgiving Thankfully our search is drawing to a close and by the time you receive this we should have a new administrator in place I want to thank those who got us through the Advent Christmas Season and into the new year by volunteering their time and talent Judy Friend Debbie Rasmussin Katie Fullerton and Gretchen Ackerson Submitted by Rev Jen Daysa 1
