Remembrance service

On Sunday, April 11, we
welcome Rev. Marti Keller

membrance service, "Yes to
Life," based on the book by
Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust

personal tragedies and the in
evitable deep sadness these
losses brought him, he was
able to put such suffering in
perspective that has inspired
millions of readers to strive
for a "new humanity."

Matthew 7 : 24 - 27,
"Therefore whoever hears
these sayings of Mine,
and does them, I will liken
him to a wise man who
built his house on the
rock: and the rain de

and the winds blew and

Giving up Control — Much of our lives is spent trying to control things over
which we have little control. Parents, teachers and managers have the task of
molding and controlling the people in their charge, and the best of them have
some success at it, but the fact that many of us are just not cut out to be parents,
teachers or managers makes us realize how hard it is to control others. Parents
and teachers are fortunate that children are great imitators of others, and half of
what counts as raising children probably amounts to nothing more than children
imitating their parents, with some guidance and scaffolding provided by the par
ents. The folly of trying to control others is perhaps most apparent when we re
alize how little we are able to control our own behavior, attitudes and emotions.
What makes us think we can make someone else “toe the line” when we can’t
do it ourselves? Some of us have designed our lives to maximize our control.
Living alone gives you more control than living with others. Certain jobs give you
more control than others. And knowing certain things, and knowing where the
“levers of power” reside can give you more control than you would otherwise
have. And yet we are at the mercy of a thousand random forces and a world in
which we are at best a guest, and at worst, flotsam and jetsam in a stormy ocean.
Give up your illusion of control, and find peace in just being here, and being here
with others over whom you have little control. Trust that God has everything
under control. Let go.
