The family suggests memorials may be made to the American Diabetes Association, at www.diabetes.org. As I have aged, I have come to see personally and through others that genetics is either a huge blessing or a horrible curse. Our health and often our looks reflect what has been passed down through our genetic makeup. We can take supplements, exercise continuously and even get plastic surgery, but if we let nature run its course more than likely our genes will make an appearance. I was recently visiting with my precious niece. We are pretty close even though we do not see each other very often. We take the op- portunity to text, message and even chat when we can. Because of certain life events, we actually had time to sit down face-to-face and chat. We also had the pleasure of being with her mother (my sister- in-law) and sister-in-law (my nephew’s wife); two amazing women. It was just a normal catch up session, but there were some things going on that were not the expected. As I sat, I began to notice that certain beliefs and even stories were being repeated. Looks were being exchanged between my niece and her sister in law. Topics that were difficult were talked about with anxiousness and even an- ger at times. There was a lot of placating going on as well as calm reassurances. When I was leaving, my niece walked with me to the car. She said very calmly, “Mom, has early onset dementia.” I reached over, gave her a hug, and said, “I know.” The relief on her face was transform- ing. Her anxiousness and fear were replaced with the knowledge that others were there to understand and walk this new journey. There is a grief associated with shared genetics. You see, her grandmother and many women before her mother have all had early onset dementia. It is not something the family has not seen, but now it is an unknown uncertainty in there genes. Will it happen to me? Will it touch my daughter? It is all the unknowns that lead to a grief so intense that it almost knocks one to their knees and yet it is the future that will reveal the answers. All the siblings in this family have sat down with their parents and noted their concerns and the evidence they have for these concerns, and yet it has not changed how this new state is being handled. I think what grieves me the most is that the condition is being ignored by the very people who could get some medical help to slow the progression of the disease. The thought is that if you ignore it long enough it might not be real. If you are close to someone whose genetics is not their friend, please seek medical help. In most cases it cannot be eradicated, but it can be slowed. Those in the family can have more time to love and share experiences. Ignorance or a blissful “ho-hum” attitude may be comfortable for a time, but in the end it will not be the best thing for anyone. Genetics does not have to run your life if you decide to get behind the driver’s seat and take the wheel Perfect Numbers Always Add Up As our kids get ready to go back to school, I thought it would be a great time to remind them of some of the math that they have most likely learned in the past. I just know how excited they all are to get back to school, so here you go. If the sum of all the divisors of a number is equal to the number itself, it is call a "perfect" number. Divisors are those numbers that "go into" another number. An example is the number 6: Its divisors are 1, 2, and 3 which, when added together equal 6. Why would I do that to you? Well, it is because I want us all to re- member that all kinds of things "go into" our lives. Some are good. Some are not so good. Some are downright terrible. Nevertheless, they are all necessary for you to experience the life that God intends for you. Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. I love you all, Tim We’re Are All in this Together One thing I have learned over the years is that people are all about the same. We all breathe the same air. We walk and talk. Some are wealthy. Some are homeless. Some drink or use drugs and some don’t. People are people. Some go to church; some don’t. This is a story that tells us we are all in this thing called life together. Many years ago, in Duluth, Minnesota, a Lutheran man was run over in the iron mines. They took him to a Catholic hospital where an Episcopal doctor am- putated his leg. A Presbyterian woman, feeling sorry for him, wrote to the editor of a Congre- gational paper in Chicago, ask- ing him to advertise for a wood- en leg. A Methodist woman saw the ad in a Congregational paper. Her late husband, who had been a Baptist, had a wooden leg. A Salvation Army captain deliv- ered the leg to Duluth and when the Episcopal doctor in a Catho- lic hospital put on the Baptist leg of the Lutheran man, they said he had become a United Brethren! Which is another way of saying, “We're all in this thing togeth- er.” Let's work with each other and not against each. I pray that each of you have a great week. Remember to be in the church of your choice this coming Lord’s day to learn more about the Jesus who saved all who will accept him. The Jesus who was born on Christmas morning, died on good Friday and rose again on Easter morning These are crazy days but let’s remember we are all in this to- gether so let’s pray together and ask God to help us overcome the heartaches and hurts of today and move forward together. From my heart to yours,

by: Rev. Donna Nelson, Pastor of The First United Methodist Church
“Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly beloved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave him-
self up for us…” Ephesians 5:1-2
We live in a world that is less than perfect. All around us there is violence, famine, poverty, and hatred. But, what would our world be like if we imitated God in our words and actions? I believe there would be peace, not war, be-
cause people would love others, not hate those who may be different than themselves. There would be no greed or pov-erty, as each of us would make sure that others had enough.
This is my idea of an ideal world. It would be a world in which my actions are not motivated by my own self-
interest, but where I consider the needs of others in what I do. I would have compassion on those around me and see them as created in the image of God, just as I am. I would be willing to offer forgiveness to those who hurt me and
provide grace and mercy to those who do wrong.Instead of holding tight to what I have, I would freely give
so that others would not be in need. I would make sure that the words I speak would build others up, not tear them down. The words would be spoken in love and be truthful. My mouth would be filled with praises and thanksgiving. We may not live to see a world like the one described, but as Christians we can do our part to make it more possible. It will happen when we do that by live a life of love and
imitate God in all that we do. Let us begin today.
