ZEITVERDREIB
bei Gladys S. Martin
Hoscht du net ebmols schun gewunnert Was Leit dien mit all de Zeit As sie gschpaart hen mit de viele Arwet-Schpaaring Dinger heit?
Ya, mer muss sich nimmi bloge Alles is so hendich heit: Drick en Gnopp un all die Arwet Watt gschafft fer dich graad uff Zeit.
Alli-ebber is in en Huddel“Grick die Arwet aus em Weg!” Ken Zeit hen sie meh for laafe“Faahre die Kaer schnell uff der Weg!”
Saag, was dien dann die Leit Mit der Zeit as iwwerich bleibt? Ya, sie misse hatt schtudiere Was zu duh fer “ZEITVERDREIB.”
Un sie saage zu sich selwer: “Unser Kareber, der watt schwach, Weil mir nimmi Arwet diene, As en Kareber schtarick macht.”
So dann faahre sie ins Schteddel, Kaafe datt en fremm “Maschien” Fer ihre Muskel hat zu schtreckeDie schpringt net uff Gasoline.
Die “Maschien,” die hot zwee Redder, Awwer doch geht’s naryets hie. Hock dich druff un schpinn die Redder; Sis gut fer eem, so saage sie.
Des is yuscht fer “exerseise.”
Es heese des waer gross Blessier: Exerseise in Blatz vun schaffe; Des is heit hoch geschtimiert.
Nemm Zeit ab un geh nei schwimme. Schpring der Weg nooch wie en Hund. Duh Luft-Danze bis du zidderscht; Bieg, not tschump hoch in die Luft.
Grick en Schtrick un schtart zu tschumbe; Heb Gwichder hoch nuff in die Heh. Bloos un schwitz un bhalt dich draa! Des is Schpass fer so draa-geh???
Sei yuscht froh du brauchscht net schaffe, So hoscht du Zeit fer all die Sache. Schwitz vun Arwet macht Leit grummle; Schwitz vun “exerseise” macht em lache.
Blog dich ab mit all des Sach; Schpring un tschump, geh schwimme aa! Des is wie mir Zeit verdreibt nau: Hadder schaffe as wie davor!
Hot die Welt sich net verennert? Alles is unnerschiddlich heit. Unser Eldre daede meene Schpuchde wie des waer net gscheid.
Hen mir uns dann viel verbessert? Is es hadder fer die Leit Schaffe adder “Exerseise?”
Yeder Weg is ZEITVERDREIB.

Everyone is in a hurry“Get this work out of the way!”
They have no time to walk“Drive the car quickly onto the street!”
Say, what do folks do With the leftover time? Yes, they must study hard What to do for “Pasttime.”
And they say to themselves: “Our body will get weak Because we no longer do work That strengthens the body.”
So they drive into town, And buy a strange machine
To stretch their musclesThis machine does not run on gasoline. This machine has two wheels, But it does not go anywhere. Sit on it and spin the wheels; It’s good for one, so they say. This is just to exercise. It is said this is great pleasure: Exercising instead of working; Today this is highly esteemed.
Take time off and go swimming. Jog along the road like a dog. Do aerobic dancing till you quiver; Bend, then jump high into the air.
Get a rope and begin to jump; Lift weights high into the air. Puff and sweat and keep at it! It is fun to carry on like this???
Just be glad you need not work, So you have time for all these things. Sweat from work makes people grumble; Sweat from “exercises” makes them laugh.
Wear yourself out with all this stuff; Run and jump, go swimming too! This is how we pass our time now: Working harder that before!
Hasn’t the world changed? Things are different today. Our parents would think: Capers like this would be insane.
Have we bettered ourselves? Is it harder for folks
To work or to exercise?
Either way it’s passing the time.
On October 19, Gladys S. Martin of Glenwood Drive in Effredaa sent us the poem we share with you this week. ZEITVERDREIB is a poem of unusual interest, for it addresses a problem many of us are wrestling with these days. Even though Gladys’ treatment is light-hearted and
not meant to be critical, we are very pleased to have a current Dutch poem which is concerned with a present day situation. So many of our Dutch poets and writers write primarily about earlier experiences. It is indeed refreshing to see how Mrs. Martin treats a topic which should be of concern to all of us - especially those of us who are on the older side.
Gladys, we have to let the cat out of the bag. Ever since we had our angioplasty two months ago, we have to take our daily one-hour three-mile walk darich die Miller-schtadt. And it’s just “what the doctor ordered.” We feel better after the walk and gradually are able to undertake lighter physical tasks again.
Of course, the need for all this “exercise” has been brought on in part because of the fatty foods which we Americansand especially the Pennsylvania Dutch - have been eating all these years.
Again, our hat is off to die Gladys vun Effredaa. We hope she will continue to write about life as we find it today - and also, of course, about life in yesteryear.

En Bischli-Gnippli as alli Daag laafe muss
Author: Wenger
Scripture: Luke 9:62 “But Jesus said to him, “‘No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.’”
There is a reason the windshield in a car is large and stretches all the way left to right of the car, but the rearview mirror is tiny. Your attention is to be forward, where you are going, not to the rear of the car where you came from. We are sometimes prone to look back and say, “those were the good old days,” reminiscing about the past. There is nothing wrong with remembering wonderful times of the past, but we are not to live there
or be distracted from the present and future. The best of your life isn’t in the rearview mirror. I never realized there is a verse that speaks directly to this perception: “Do not say, ‘Why were the former days better than these?’ For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.” (Ecclesiastes 7:10) The Hebrew children said this not long after Moses led them out from 400 years of bondage in Egypt. Exodus 16:3 says, “And the children of Israel said to them, ‘Oh, that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread to the full! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.’” So, it was a little tough in the beginning and immediately they started grumbling and looking back!
God gave us a strong object lesson in Lot’s wife when they left Sodom and Gomorrah. We read in Genesis chapter 19 that
God sent angels to take Lot and his family out before the total destruction of the cities. The angel told them to hurry, escape for your life, don’t look back but flee to the mountains. The angels had to actually take his family by their hands and rush them out because they didn’t want to leave in spite of coming judgment It’s amazing, God is about to rain fire and brimstone from heaven, incinerating everything in sight, and you want to doddle around. While escaping, Lot’s wife
looked back and became a pillar of salt. The Lord used her example when he said, “Remember Lot’s wife.” In reference to Lot’s wife, Christ goes on to say, “Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.” (Luke 17:32-33) Christ is emphasizing that our life is to be seeking the eternal, not the temporal. If we try to preserve it, keep it, live for self, we will eventually lose that life. On the other hand, if we lose our life now living for Christ,
forsaking the earthly, we will gain what we cannot lose – eternal life with God.
Scripture does say to look back and remember, repent and return to the Lord. In Revelation 2 and 3, the Sardis and Ephesus churches were called to revival from a backslidden or less-than-expected spiritual condition. Christ said to remember the works you once did and rekindle your first love. Go back to the foundational passion and work of the Lord.
But, let’s continue with our theme. We will become ineffective looking back. This will diminish what God can do through us. I think we need to take it a step further – not only should we not look back, but looking to the side is a distraction. Today it has become an epidemic to look at the cell phone while driving. Even worse, texting while driving kills, on average, 3,000 teenagers annually. It’s called distracted driving. I will never forget while riding
my motorcycle, I looked to the side out in a field and when I turned back around to look where I was going, I discovered that all of the cars in front of me were at a dead stop. Fortunately for me, there wasn’t any oncoming traffic, which allowed me to swerve into that lane. We can become distracted like Demas, who forsook Paul, “For Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed.” (2 Timothy 4:10) Remember Mary and Martha – Martha wanted Christ to tell Mary to help in the kitchen prep. His response: “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:41-42) Mary was not distracted, Martha was. Mary was enthralled at the Master’s feet.
So until next week, don’t look back or become distracted

What’s the secret sauce to community service? As the Akron Lions Club prepares for its annual Spaghetti Dinner on Sunday, February 1, they want to honor Kay “Mac” McEllhenney, the man behind the club’s secret spaghetti sauce. This year’s event will be held at the Akron Fire Company from 11:00 a.m. until sold out, with meals available for dine-in or takeout.
Shown in the photo preparing for the dinner, from left to right, are Brenda Fetter, Valerie and Kyle Wagner, Don Good and Mike Morris.
One of the highlights of each year’s spaghetti dinner is the “secret sauce” recipe that Mac McEllhenney shared with the club in 1993, when they decided to use extra beef from the toasted
cheeseburger stand to hold a winter fundraiser. Proceeds from the event go back into the community.
Incoming Club President, David Austin, thought that 2026 would be a great time to honor Mac McEllhenney, who served the Akron Lions Club, joining in 1967, until his death in August 2025. Mac was a builder by trade, and much of his impact on the club comes through efforts he spearheaded to build items on behalf of the Lions.
The Club built Pavilion #1 in Loyd Roland Park in 1970. When Mac learned that the Akron Boy Scout Troop didn’t have a meeting place, he led the volunteer group that built the lodge in 1983. In addition to serving
as the meeting space for the Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts, Akron Borough rents the facility to groups and families for events. In 1995, the Lions built the restrooms at Loyd Roland Park, and again Mac led the charge. In 1998, the Lions received a request for a band shell, and Mac suggested

On Tuesday, January 13, the Lighthouse Community Center in Denver was filled with busy feet, warm smiles, and a lot of gratitude as REAL Life Community Services welcomed families from the Cocalico School District for a special winter outreach. Through a continued partnership with Subaru and Operation
more than 50 local children received brand-new shoes and winter coats to help them stay comfortable
participate at school and in everyday life.
This marks the third year Subaru’s “Loves to Help” initiative has supported children in this community, and the impact continues to be felt long after the
event ends. Thanks to the generosity shown, REAL Life Community Services has additional shoes and coats available to help meet needs throughout the year as they arise.
REAL Life Community Services is grateful to play a role in connecting resources with families who are working hard to build
stability and brighter futures. Partnerships like these reflect the heart of northern Lancaster County— neighbors coming together to care for one another and ensure every child has the chance to thrive.

Ancient Greeks used myths to explain many things, including the change in seasons. In one of these myths, Hades, god of the underworld, fell in love with Persephone, daughter of the agricultural goddess, Demeter. Hades knew that Demeter would not permit him to marry Persephone, so he kidnapped her and took her to the underworld.
When Demeter found out her daughter had been kidnapped, she became upset and stopped caring for the crops. People began to starve, and Zeus ordered Hades to return Persephone to Demeter. There was just one problem. Persephone had gotten hungry and eaten some pomegranate seeds in the underworld. By law, anyone who took something from the underworld had to stay there. Because Persephone had eaten so little, Zeus was able to make an exception and allow her to live with her mother for half the year and with Hades for the other half.
When Persephone was with her, Demeter was happy and the crops thrived, creating spring and summer. When Persephone had to leave, Demeter became sad and the crops withered away, creating fall and winter.

The Ephrata Bible Fellowship Church invites everyone to attend GriefShare. GriefShare is a non-de-
nominational group that meets weekly and features Christ centered, biblical teaching on grief recovery topics associated with the death of a loved one. It includes a DVD seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects and includes real-life discussion about what was seen on the DVD. Past participants have related how helpful
the DVDs and follow up discussions were to them.
You will find encouragement, comfort, and help in grieving the death of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, other family members, or a friend. It is an opportunity to be around people who understand what you are feeling. Your bereavement experience may be recent

The current trailer was built in 2001, and in 2023, even when Mac was no longer able to do the work himself, he coordinated the full refurbishing of the trailer with new siding. After this was completed, Mac reported to the club that the “younger” members stepped up to do the work, and that the club “was in good hands for the future.” Resounding praise from a man who faithfully served the club and his community.
Mac’s service has been recognized formally by the
club. He is noted as Lion of the Year on three different occasions, and was awarded the Melvin Jones award by the International Lions. He enthusiastically brought many new members into the club throughout his many years of service.
So, as the Lions prepare your secret sauce, they honor the man who knew the secret sauce to community service – showing up ready to share good ideas and put them into action to see them to completion. Thank you Kay “Mac” McEllhenney for your service to the Akron Lions Club and to the community!
