LAWTON continued from page 3 To train our students in the methods and skills they’ll need when they’re on the job market as archaeologists (yes—there is one! And, yes, you can make a living at it!). The other part of course, is to try and tell if the items from this area were indeed just dropped in an open area close to the old Law- ton Road. . . or were they dropped inside a structure? Around a fire pit used by Union or Confederate pickets? Compared to the 30cm round hole from a metal detector hit, the 200 by 200-centimeter square of a unit gives us a wider view— a window into the past instead of a keyhole. And our meticulous excavation process—digging in 10cm layers at a time—helps us to really spot the past looking back at us from the earth’s layers. Our students made great progress, and we’re already finding ceramics in higher quantities, and glass, and of course, nails within our ‘science’ box. As we head into next week, we’ll see what the next layers show— every scrape of the shovel and trowel takes us deeper, and every few centimeters in depth takes us further back in time. Our tools are time ma chines, archaeological DeLoreans, letting us travel on the edge of a steel blade back to 1864, and unravel more of the story of what happened along Lawton Road on a cold, rainy day in December. WORDS continued from page 4 death. Here’s the bottom line. A clean and ordered life does not get you to Heaven, but a life filled with Jesus does. What does a life filled with Jesus mean? It means letting Jesus into your life, giving Him full control over your heart and life, and letting Him lead you. In Revela tion 3:20 Jesus says, “See! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and eat with him, and he with me.” A life filled with Jesus does not start with an OCD level of cleaning and ordering your house (life), but with opening the door and letting Jesus in. Jesus loves you right in the middle of all your mess and brokenness, and when we let Him in, He does the work of bringing healing, cleaning, and order to our lives. If you hear His voice calling and His hand knocking on the door of your heart, put down the Lysol and bleach and let Him in. Let’s pray, “Jesus please do your work in the lives of those reading this today. Help us not to believe the lie that we can clean ourselves up or cause any good change through hard work alone. What we need most of all is a relationship with You. If you are knocking on the door of anyone’s heart, please don’t stop knocking and help them to surrender and open the door. In Jesus’s name. Amen.” FULL TIME POLICE OFFICER WANTED The city of Oliver is now accepting applications for a full time police officer.

PASTOR continued from page 3 body and blood of Jesus, I think that all would agree the concept of Christ dwell ing in us and us dwelling in him is a beautiful image. During the Episcopal communion service, as the priest is preparing the bread and the wine, you may see them pour a little bit of water into the chalice with the wine. This symbolic practice dates to as early as the 4th century. There are varied explanations given for doing so ranging from the practical to the spiritual. For instance, it was common practice to dilute wine with water in the 1st century to the water before drinking it. Symbolically, it is a remind er of the blood and the water that flowed from Jesus when the Roman centurion pierced his body on the cross. The explanation for mixing water with the wine that I RAMBLINGS continued from page 3 didn’t even curse! The Jackie Gleason Show and Red Skelton Hour were my favorites, as well as Candid Camera. Flip Wilson was pretty good too. When Don and I weren’t watching TV, we would listen to Bill Cos by’s album “To Russell My Brother Who I Slept With”. You know, I didn’t sleep alone until I was married, so I could really identify with Cosby sharing a room with his little brother. The one thing I try to pass on to my granddaughters and other young people, is that if you only watch television, you are telling Hollywood screenwriters they have a better imagination than you do. Not me; I am always dis appointed in how people and things are depicted in mov ies. I’d rather be reading. find to be the most mean ingful comes from one of the early church bishops, Cyprian. He identified the representation of the wine as the blood of Christ and the water as humanity. Mixing the water in the wine, hu manity in the blood of Jesus, both become one. The wine/blood of Christ is of great worth, and water/ humanity is quite common. In mixing water with wine, humanity in the blood of Christ, we too become of great worth. Additionally, once the water is mixed with the wine, they become inseparable. He in us and us in him. As you continue on your Lenten journeys, may you grow and deepen in your relationships with Christ as we await his resurrection on Easter.
