Valley Regional Healthcare e-Ticker News of Claremont, Section B B3 e-Ticker News of Claremont, Section B B4 Inspiration/Entertainment Review God's Not Dead 2: Part 2 By Bernadette OʼLeary In part 1 of my review of God's Not Dead 2 we explored the social implications of this magnificent movie and what the viewer would likely take away from it. This week, I'm addressing it from a more personal standpoint. There is a character named Amy in this movie who faces a devastating battle with cancer. I have suffered medical problems my whole life, and seeing this character's struggle with the affects of her illness on her life was very jarring for me. There are the normal tears that come with truly heartfelt, touching movies such as God's Not Dead and God's Not Dead 2. However, the tears are of a different kind when they are from a complete understanding of a given struggle. No, my medical problems are not cancer. However, they are frightening and have, over time, come to consume my entire body. As a child, I was often ill. I missed a lot of school, and was even told by a school principle, "If you're in that bad of shape, you don't need to be here." I was often told it was all in my head. I was told that I was pretending. I was also told such things as I needed to just learn to "deal with life." I lost friends, and in time even my own sisters shunned me. I had to face it all alone, and today I still do in many ways. The most common criticism I hear is, "If there was really something wrong, the doctors could fix it." This while my doctors are telling me that my body is basically creating antibodies that are slowly killing me. This while my doctors are telling me that they may not be able to help me. This while I have days where I can barely walk, much less get out of bed due to severe dizziness, lack of muscle control, pain beyond words, and more. This while I have days at a time when I cannot eat. This when I have had days where I end up lying on the floor in my own blood and vomit. Just like Amy in these films, I am fighting a devastating battle mostly alone. So, while watching these movies, I become a blubbering mess. Why would I possibly continue to try to give others hope for their own struggles when my own seem so hopeless? It's actually quite simple. My faith has been my one constant. Songs from groups such as Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline, For King and Country, Red, Skillet, Toby Mac, and many more, along with movies such as the God's Not Dead series, are reminders of why it's so important to not only continue fighting but to also try to uplift others who struggle. They are just as lost as I am, if not more. They are just as scared and lonely as I am, if not more. They too need hope and help. Humans are a pack animal, and we were created to be there for one another. No one can face life's struggles alone. I know how it feels, and because of that I cannot simply sit by and do nothing as others suffer too. Need a better reason? How about the fact that my daughter also inherited my ailments? I look at others who suffer and see her. I look at others who suffer and see Jesus, who was tortured (although He committed no crime) and had to endure it alone. We're not Him. However, I have to ask: would you have tried to help Him? I also have to ask another question: would you try to help someone injured at the side of the road? This is no different. I've seen the proof of His existence. It's there and easy to find if you truly look. With the idea that He is real, it makes it even more important to help others know His story, His love, and His mercy. Why would He allow me to be so sick? There are many reasons, but for me it's mostly because He wants me to understand the sufferings of others and help them. He is sending me. Why would He allow a child, such as my daughter, to be sick? That one is for her to answer as she finds her way through life, but I can say that she is already a very generous and loving young lady because she knows suffering. After watching God's Not Dead 2, I had a major attack that took the legs right out from under me. I ended up on the floor in the middle of the theater, and yes, I was in tears. However, not for the reasons one might think. It was because kneeling there, on the floor, I felt God's purpose for me. It isn't for myself. It is for others, to help them see their immeasurable worth. Just like the characters in this series, I was made for a reason. With this in mind, I say, "Love others well." You don't know their struggles. Even if they tell you, you can't know them completely without living them. So don't judge their situation; just be there through it if you can. Love, listen, cry and pray with them. We can't heal someone, but we can be their support system and help ease their suffering by loving them well. God is sending you. Why does God allow suffering? That's the wrong question. The correct question is harder: why do we?

Priscilla Hull is the Lay Leader at the First United Methodist Church in Claremont By Priscilla Hull Saturday we waved goodbye to the UMARMY! Their second year was just as wonderful as the first! I'm not sure that there were as many kids, but their spirit was huge. Despite obstacles such as no more church to house them, we did manage to find spots for everyone! We also had the banquet in a brand new venue, Time Out Americana Grill. That was a great place. We offer thanks to Nick for opening his doors to us. It was good to have our Mayor, Charlene Lovett, and our City Manager, Guy Santagate, there, too. As always, after working all day, the kids served all the guests whose houses and yards they worked on all week as well as other guests. A great big thank you to the adults who volunteered. To the Lead Team, Karen, Clay, Kim, Joel and the cooks for their wonderful meal preparation. All this work, kids and adults was done for a simple reason - Love! All participants share a love for humanity and a love for God. You can't get much better reasons than that. Although they spend the week working, I've heard comments, like "I couldn't have a better vacation." and "I can't wait to comeback next year!" I don't know whether they'll be back next year. What say you, Claremont? Shall we invite these remarkable people back? Just to remember, it is the people of the First United Methodist Church, formerly of the Old Stone Church on Sullivan Street, who get this going (well mostly our amazing Administrator, Deb; she is remarkable). We are still a church. We worship Sunday morning at 9:00 at Union Church (Old Church Road) So many others have helped. We are thankful for all! This is Faith in Action. "I tell you the truth, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; nothing will be impossible for you."

This was the second year the organization has come to Claremont and helped people in need. There were 38 kids and 20 adults, from New York and the New England states, that completed 34 jobs this year. They replaced basement stairs, replaced or rebuilt egress stairs in the Pleasant Valley Estates area, cleaned yards and more. On Thursday night, the group met with all the folks that they had worked for during the week. Homeowners thanked the group for all the work that was done for them and all told of what a great time they had meeting and getting to know the kids. ---Bill Binder Top left: Some of the kids of the UMARMY; top right: Mayor Charlene Lovett speaks to the group; bottom: Thelma Stuart, 93, who lives on Old Church Road and had her basement stairs replaced. She thanked the group for the work it did for her and said what a wonderful time she had visiting with the kids.
