Addressing Common Concerns About Exercise After The Age Of 50

Exercise is an essential element of a healthy lifestyle. Including exercise in your daily routine can lower your risk for diabetes, heart disease and stroke, and exercise can even sharpen mental acuity, reduce anxiety and improve mood. But as beneficial as exercise can be, many men and women, particularly men and women over the age of 50, who have not laced up their sneakers in years are hesitant to begin an exercise regimen for a variety of reasons, potentially putting their long-term health at risk.

Regardless of a person’s age, beginning a new exercise regimen can be intimidating. But it’s especially so for men and women over the age of 50, who might not know where to begin or how to approach adopting a healthier lifestyle. According to the National Institute on Aging, the following are a few points men and women should know as they attempt to improve their physical fitness with a more active lifestyle.

• Exercise is safe even if you have not been physically active in a long time. Many older men and women worry that suddenly embracing physical fitness after years of inactivity may be detrimental to their health. But that’s only true if men and women don’t exercise caution at the outset of their routines. When beginning the routine, take things very slowly at first, choosing to walk or bike every day rather than hitting the treadmill and adjusting it to maximum resistance. When strength

training, start off with very little weight so your muscles can grow acclimated to the motions and you can get the exercises down pat. As you grow more comfortable and your body starts to feel more up to the challenges of daily exercise, you can begin to gradually alter your cardiovascular and strength training workouts to make them more challenging.

• Exercise can make existing medical conditions more manageable. Men and women over the age of 50 who have preexisting medical conditions are likely to find that exercise alleviates rather than exacerbates their physical problems. The NIA notes that studies have shown that regular exercise and physical activity can benefit people with arthritis, high blood pressure and heart disease. But it’s still recommended that men and women with preexisting medical conditions consult with their physicians before making

any lifestyle changes. Some conditions may affect a person’s ability to be active, and it’s best to get the goahead from a physician before beginning an exercise regimen. Doctors may even suggest certain activities that have been known to alleviate particular conditions.

• Exercise reduces fatigue, so sitting around to preserve strength is not effective. Exercise improves strength

and energy levels, so sitting on the sideline to preserve your strength is counterproductive and could lead to serious medical problems.

The “Report on Physical Activity and Health” from the U.S. Surgeon General’s office noted that men and women who are inactive are almost twice as likely to develop heart disease as those who are more active. While getting adequate rest

and giving your body ample time recover from physical activity is essential, your body won’t benefit by avoiding exercise to preserve your strength. However, even moderate physical activity performed on a regular basis can reduce fatigue.

• No one is too old to exercise. It’s not uncommon for men and women in their golden years to think they are too old to exercise. Some may feel that their toned down workouts cannot possibly be making much of an impact thanks to the physical limitations old age has put on their bodies, while others may think it’s unwise for someone in their 70s or 80s to be physically active. But no one is too old to exercise, as exercise helps the body stay strong and fit even when you can no longer max out on the bench press or squat hundreds of pounds. Scaling back your exercise routine will be necessary as you get older, but that does not mean you cannot still enjoy and benefit from physical activity.

Continuing to exercise as you age is a great way to improve your quality of life and stay as active as possible well into your golden years.

Health Issues That Can Impact Sight And Cause Poor Vision

Vision loss is a common condition, as the World Health Organization notes that more than 285 million people across the globe suffer some type of visual impairment. Many people can effectively counter their vision problems with prescription lenses, but others may have a more significant issue, such as low vision.

The Kellogg Eye Center defines low vision as a reduced level of vision that cannot be fully corrected with conventional glasses. Those with low vision have some useful sight and are not considered completely blind. However, low vision can interfere with performance of daily activities, and some people with this condition are classified as “legally blind.”

Symptoms of low vision include difficulty recognizing objects at a distance or problems with differentiating colors. Yet, not everyone dealing with these symptoms has low

vision. Specialized testing can determine if a person has low vision or another condition.

Many conditions can impact sight and contribute to vision loss. Here’s a look at some of the more common ones.

• Glaucoma: A person with glaucoma may gradually lose peripheral vision. Early symptoms, such as a subtle loss of contrast, may be unnoticeable. Eventually, glaucoma may cause tunnel vision, which occurs when a person can only see through a small window.

• Macular degeneration: Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss, affecting more than 10 million people in the United States alone, according to the American Macular Degeneration Foundation. The AMDF offers that macular degeneration is caused by the deterioration of the retina’s central portion, known as the macula. The macula is responsible for

“Marie was there by our side to help make sure everything was the way mom would have wanted.”

- Doug Zerbe

focusing central vision in the eye, and it contributes to one’s ability to read, drive a car, recognize faces or colors and see objects in fine detail.

• Retinal detachment: An increase of floaters or sudden flashes of light in

vision may be indicative of retinal detachment or a tear in the retina. When caught promptly, a detached retina may be repaired. However, if left untreated and the detachment reaches the macula in the center of the retina, vision loss may be irreparable. The National Eye Institute says those with

extreme nearsightedness, those who have had cataract surgery or those with a family history of retinal detachment are at a high risk.

• Diabetic retinopathy: Blurring or patchy vision loss can be a side effect of high blood glucose levels. Not all people with diabetes will develop vision problems, but it is common enough to warrant attention.

• Cataracts: According to The Mayo Clinic, a cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. Cataracts develop when aging or injury changes the tissue that makes up the eyes’ lenses. Clouded vision can make it more difficult to read or drive. Over time, cataracts may obscure vision so much that they require surgical repair.

Routine eye examinations can bring potential vision disturbances to light and facilitate faster treatment.

Eye doctors also can make suggestions about lifestyle changes, including the use of optical devices to improve sight.

Did You Know?

According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, certain factors make women more likely than men to develop osteoporosis, a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, produces too little bone or both. One such factor is that women tend to have smaller, thinner bones than men. Another reason women are more vulnerable to osteoporosis than men concerns estrogen. Estrogen is a hormone in women that serves many functions, one of which includes protecting bones. Production of estrogen decreases sharply when women reach menopause. Once women reach menopause, the accompanying decline in estrogen production can cause bone loss. This is one reason why women’s risk for osteoporosis increases after menopause and why recommended intake of calcium and vitamin D, both of which can help women prevent osteoporosis, is different for women age 50 and below than it is for women age 51 and older

Understanding

And Managing Osteoarthritis

The most common chronic condition of the joints in both the United States and Canada, osteoarthritis affects roughly 30 million people in just those two countries alone.

While osteoarthritis, or OA, can affect people of all ages, it’s most common in men and women over the age of 65. Understanding osteoarthritis and how to prevent and manage the disease can help men and women over the age of 50 reduce their risk and live more comfortably even if they develop OA.

What is osteoarthritis?

According to the Arthritis Foundation, healthy joints are covered by cartilage, a flexible connective tissue that covers the end of each bone. Cartilage facilitates motion of the joints and serves as a cushion between the bones. When a person has OA, cartilage breaks down, causing swelling and pain and affecting the mobility of the joint. Over time, OA can worsen and cause bones to break down and develop bone spurs,

which form when bones meet each other in the joints.

OA can even advance to a point where cartilage wears away and bone rubs against bone, creating even more pain while damaging the joints even further.

What causes osteoarthritis?

Once considered a byproduct of the wear and tear the human body naturally endures over a lifetime, OA is now viewed as a disease, notes the AF. The following are some potential causes of OA.

• Genes: The AF notes that certain genetic traits can increase a person’s likelihood of developing OA. Collagen is a protein that makes up cartilage, and, while rare, a genetic defect that affects the body’s production of cartilage can lead to OA occurring in people as young as 20 years old. Researchers have also noted that the gene FAAH is more commonly found in people with OA of the knee than in people who don’t have the disease. FAAH has been previously linked with pain sensitivity.

• Weight: Being overweight increases a person’s risk for a host of ailments and diseases, and OA can be

counted among them. Extra weight puts additional pressure on hips and joints, and over time those extra pounds can cause cartilage to break down more quickly than it would if the body was not carrying extra weight.

• Injury: Men and women who have suffered injuries to their joints may be at greater risk of developing OA than those with no such injury history.

• Overuse: Overuse of joints, tendons and ligaments can accelerate the breakdown of cartilage and increase a person’s risk of developing OA. Cartilage also can break down more quickly in the bodies of athletes and people whose careers require them to stand for extended periods of

time, bend over frequently and/or lift heavy items.

• Preexisting conditions: Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, hemochromatosis and acromegaly may also contribute to the development of OA among people diagnosed with such disorders.

Prevention and management of OA

Men and women who maintain healthy weights and exercise regularly and appropriately may be able to prevent the onset of OA. Appropriate exercises include strength training that focuses on building muscles around the joints, even if those joints are already affected by OA. Strong muscles around the joints can reduce the pain

associated with OA, while range-of-motion exercises can improve flexibility of the joints and reduce stiffness. Aerobic exercise also helps men and women maintain healthy weights while facilitating weight loss for those who are already overweight.

Those already diagnosed

with OA should speak with their physicians before beginning an exercise regimen, and such conversations can also include discussions about the various medications that can be used to reduce symptoms of OA. More information about OA is available at www. arthritis.org.

How To Determine If Downsizing Is Right For You

As men and women retire or approach retirement age, many opt to downsize their homes. Such a decision can save older adults substantial amounts of money while also liberating them from the hassle of maintaining large homes they no longer need.

Downsizing to smaller homes or apartments is a significant step, one that homeowners should give ample consideration before making their final decisions. The following are a handful of tips to help homeowners determine if downsizing to smaller homes is the right move.

• Get a grip on the real estate market. Downsizing is not solely about money, but it’s important that homeowners consider the real estate market before putting their homes up for sale. Speak with a local realtor or your financial advisor about the current

state of your real estate market. Downsizing can help homeowners save money on utilities, taxes and mortgage payments, but those savings may be negated if you sell your house in a buyer’s market instead of a seller’s market. If you think the current market won’t get you

the price you are hoping for, delay your downsize until the market rebounds.

• Take inventory of what’s in your house. Empty nesters often find that their homes are still filled with their children’s possessions, even long after those children have entered adulthood and left home. If the storage in your home is dominated by

items that belong to your children and not you, then downsizing might be right for you. Tell your children you are thinking of downsizing and invite them over to pick through any items still in your home. Once they have done so and taken what they want, you can host a yard sale, ultimately donating or discarding what you cannot sell. Once all of the items are gone, you may realize that moving into a smaller place is the financially prudent decision.

• Examine your own items as well. Your children’s items are likely not the only items taking up space in your home. Take inventory of your own possessions as well, making note of items you can live without and those you want to keep. If the list of items you can live without is extensive, then you probably won’t have a problem moving into a smaller home. If you aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to many of your possessions,

then you might benefit from staying put for a little while longer.

• Consider your retirement lifestyle. If you have already retired or on the verge of retirement and plan to spend lots of time traveling, then downsizing to a smaller home may free up money you can spend on trips. And if you really do see yourself as a silver-haired jetsetter, then you likely won’t miss your current home because you won’t be home frequently enough to enjoy it. If travel is not high on your retirement to-do list but you have a hobby, such as crafting, restoring classic cars or woodworking, that you hope to turn into a second profession, then you might benefit from staying put and converting your existing space into a workshop.

Many retirees downsize their homes, but this decision requires careful consideration of a variety of factors.

Caring For A Loved One At Home

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia at home is a difficult task. At times, it may seem so overwhelming that you may feel you are illequipped to deal with the situation. Dealing with a difficult situation on a daily basis is easier if you break the day into manageable segments, make a plan of action and stick to a routine. When caring for an individual with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, providing a safe environment is the number one priority. Put locks on the doors and windows to prevent your charge from wandering off. Keep medications locked away and make sure you are the only one to dispense them. Childproof latches are perfect for cabinets and appliances. Install night lights in all areas of the house in case your charge gets up at night. Keep car keys hidden to prevent your

charge from driving and make sure they wear a medical alert bracelet in case of an emergency.

Establishing a daily routine is also important.

Individuals with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia come to expect certain events to happen at certain times of the day and any deviation from that routine can trigger fear and confusion. Sometimes deviation cannot be helped and there are ways to minimize negative responses. For example, if your charge has a doctor’s appointment, tell them in advance and repeat it often. Then on the day of the appointment, tell your charge exactly what will happen step by step. Respect the fact that they may be afraid or uncomfortable with the change of pace and reassure them that they will get back on schedule as soon as possible.

When communicating with an individual with Alzheimer’s or dementia, use their name. This will get their attention and reinforce what they should call themselves. Alzheimer’s and dementia patients often forget their own names, as well as the names of other family members, and

struggle to find the right words. They will recognize a face but be unable to associate a name with it. You should fill in names and other words when your charge has trouble to help minimize their frustration.

You should also be supportive and calm. Speak slowly with a soft tone of voice and move slowly. Quick movements or expecting your charge to move quickly will only confuse and frustrate them. If your charge becomes uneasy, touching them may have a soothing effect. Hold their hands or give them a hug. Don’t argue or offer too many choices.

Mealtimes can present a host of problems. Some Alzheimer’s and dementia patients will eat everything put in front of them. Others will not. They may find food unappetizing or prefer to eat certain foods at every meal. It is important to promote a healthy diet with foods from all the food groups. One way to do this is to serve small portions of two or three different foods at a time. You may want to try serving five or six small meals a day instead of three large ones. Don’t encourage your charge to eat in front of

the television because it will distract them from the task of eating. Sit down and eat with your charge. They may be encouraged to eat better just by being in your company. Giving your charge healthy snack foods that can be eaten with the fingers is a good way to supplement their diet. You

should also make sure you give them plenty of liquids throughout the day. Having them drink from a straw or use a cup with a lid will prevent spills.

Many Alzheimer’s and dementia patients find they can no longer perform the activities they used to enjoy as their disease progresses.

This can lead to frustration, especially if they have no way to occupy their time. Create a list of activities to keep your charge busy. Demonstrate new activities slowly, breaking down large tasks into smaller components and explaining each in a step-by-step process. Give your charge plenty of time to interpret your instructions and practice carrying them out. If they feel rushed, they may become frustrated and agitated. Try to utilize activities that will work the major muscle groups. Exercise is important to maintain muscle tone and strength, possibly postponing the need for walkers or wheelchairs. Gardening and evening and early morning walks are examples of daily

activities that can strengthen bones and muscles. Find out what activities are taught at your local senior center. You may be able to incorporate one into your charge’s daily routine. Regular exercise will also help your charge sleep better at night.

Experts agree that caregivers should use family and community resources as support systems to help charges help themselves. Keep in mind that the care given to an Alzheimer’s and dementia patient will vary, depending on the progression of the disease. Eventually, there will come a time when your charge will need more care than you can provide. Don’t be afraid to admit it when the time comes.

Beauty Knows No Age

Well into your golden years and feel like makeup is your enemy? Ready to pack up all of your cosmetics and put them away forever? Don’t! With the right application, makeup can benefit faces of all ages.

If you are a mature woman and you’re not sure how to apply makeup anymore, relax. All you need to do is select soft, subtle colors from your makeup collection and apply it in ways that will play up your best features and detract from the effects of age, like lines and wrinkles. Here are some tips to help you.

Got a daily skin care routine? No? Well, then, you need to find one. Moisturizer will do wonders for aging skin. To find the best skin care products for you, shop around and do your homework.

The better condition your skin is in, the better your makeup will look. You

should start the process with a foundation with a lighter-textured base. This will help detract from lines and wrinkles. The foundation should be the same color as your skin and you should blend it around your jaw line.

Next, you can concentrate on the flaws in your skin. For dark spots and blemishes, concealer is a must. Don’t go overboard with it, but do use it to conceal as many flaws in your skin as possible. To reduce the lines from the edge of your nose to the corner of your mouth, use a highlighter. To reduce a saggy neck, use a nonfrosted powder in a shade darker than your skin tone.

Aging eyes deserve special care. To fill in thinning eyebrows, use an eyebrow pencil that matches your hair color. For eyeliner, gray or brown works better than stark black. If you have graying hair, you may want to use pink and gray eye shadow to soften it. According to some experts, frosted eye shadow will make you look younger, as long as you know how to apply it

correctly. The lightest shade should go under the brow, a darker one closer to the lashes and the darkest on

the crease. The three should be blended properly. According to others, matte eye shadow is better because it doesn’t show wrinkles like frosted does.

Use earthy tones to create depth and apply the darkest shadow to the outside of the lids.

Blush and lipstick are next. For the best result, use cream blushes in warm copper and gold tones and sweep it from the cheeks to the temples in an arc. To keep your lipstick from bleeding and feathering, use blush to line your lips rather than lip liner. This will also allow your lipstick to remain longer. Use soft matte colors, like berry, coral, pink or peach, to make lips look fuller.

Be careful with loose translucent powder. Use it sparingly. Apply it once in the morning and leave it at that. Don’t reapply it several times throughout the day; you will just accentuate any lines and wrinkles on your face. If touchups are needed, use a fluffy brush.

These are just some practical tips for makeup application on aging skin. There are many others, and for further information, you should make an appointment with a makeup consultant. No doubt they will have further tips based on your skin type and condition.

Did You Know?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, regular physical activity is one of the most important things older adults can do to promote their long-term health. The CDC recommends that men and women age 65 or older, who are generally fit and have no limiting health conditions, need at least two hours and 30 minutes of moderateintensity aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, each week. In addition, they should perform strengthtraining activities that work all major muscle groups at least two days per week. While many fit older men and women with no preexisting health conditions are capable of these activities, those able to push themselves a little further can opt for 75 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, such as jogging or running, combined with the same strength-training regimen. A combination of moderate- and vigorousintensity aerobic activity coupled with strength training may also provide adequate physical activity for aging men and women.

Es Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch Eck

By: e Late C. Richard Beam

(Originally published in the May 28, 1986 issue of The Shopping News)

PFAELZISCHES WOERTERBUCH Band IV - Lieferung 31 Leumund - man (1985)

On one of the last days of winter, Lieferungen (fascicles) 31 and 32 of the “Pfaelzisches Woerterbuch” (P.W.), which is being compiled in Kaiserslautern and published in Stuttgart in West Germany, reached us. The P.W., which is now in volume four (Band IV), was begun in 1925 by the late Professor Ernest Christmann, continued by Dr. Julius Kraemer, and presently edited by Dr. Rudolf Post and Herr Josef Schwing. Dr. Kraemer is living in retirement in Mainz; Dr. Post lives in Kaiserslautern; and Herr Schwing lives near Mutterstadt, in the section of the “Vorderpfalz,” the eastern Palatinate, where the Palatinate dialect is nearest to our own Pennsylvania German (PG).

About once a year, a new Lieferung (fascicle) is published, Lieferung 31 and 32 arrived in the same package. As indicated above, this fascicle begins with the word “Leumund” and ends with the word “man.” Perhaps it will be of interest to you readers to read some of the works known in the Palatinate which are still familiar to us.

The first familiar term in this Lieferung is “Leute,” which, as all of you know, is pronounced here and over there is Leit. The article on “Leute” is four columns long, so many expressions containing “Leit” are given - for instance, “Land un Leit;” “die Yunge un alde Leit;” “deel Leit;” “en Haufe Leit.”

How many of you are familiar with the term “leitschei,” which also appears in Lambert’s Dutch dictionary?

As you can imagine, the article on “Licht” is almost four columns long.

How many of our readers recall the old term for February 2, “Lichtmess?” “M Horn sei Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch Buch” is quoted with the old expression “Lichtmess, Fuder halwer gfress.” Others used to say of this day “Lichtmess, Schpinne vergess.”

And who can identify the old Dutch word “Lichtbutzscheer?” The P.W. defines this term as a “Schere zum Abschneiden des vorkohlten Lampen-, Kerzendochtes.”

Our own dictionary is given as the source for “Lichtwarrem,” in German “Gluehwuermchen.”

Has anyone ever heard the expression “Wo die Lieb hinfallt, leit sie, un wann sie uff an Mischthaufe fallt?”

The word “lieblich” reminds us of the old Dutch spiritual “Oh, wie lieblich.” How many of our readers can still sing it?

How many of you know that the Standard German form of Dutch “lidderlich” is “liederlich?”

The only source of the word “limbisch” is our own Dutch dictionary. It is translated into German as “linkisch, plump.” Who recalls this word?

What is our Dutch word for “left-handed?” Is it not “linkschendich?”

How many of you readers still use the old Dutch word “Lefz” for lip? This form is commonly used in the eastern Palatinate.

How many of you have heard the expression “Mer sett der Dagg net vor’m Owed lowe?”

There are more than three columns on the word “Loch.” How about this old saying: “Sunnt sich de Dachs in de Lichtmesswoch, kriecht er uff vier Woche widder ins Loch?”

To make holes is, of course, “lechere.”

The Standard German word “Lohn,” as you know, can be pronounced several ways in our dialect. Do you say “Loh” or “Luh?”

If you want to hear about our Dutch “Loos” (German “Mutterschwein, Zuchtsau”) you have to look under the word “Lose.” Danner’s Dutch dictionary is quoted with the sentence: “Die Loos is rollich.”

How many of you farmers are still using the word “luck” as applied to the condition of the soil?

Under “lumerig,” our Dutch poet Birmelin is quoted with the lines “Ken Wunner bischt du hungerich, So matt un aa so lummerich.”

Of course, under “lumpen” appears “der Lumbemann.”

Under “Lump,” Birmelin’s Dutch alphabet poem was quoted with the line: “L waar en Lump, un den bloge die Leis.”

On Pages 1069-1070, there is a man displaying the forms the word “Lunen” (Radnagel) takes in the Palatinate. This is none other than our Dutch Word “Lune” or “Lone” meaning “linchpin.” Is this word still in common use? If so, which is the prevailing pronunciation? The eastern Palatinate prefers “Lane.”

Of course, all of you are familiar with the word “lutsche,” which is translated into Standard German as “(hoerbar) saugen, etwa im Munde zergehen lassen.”

Our good Dutch friend “Lutzer” appears under the heading of “Luzerne.” The German explanation is: “Laterne, windsicheres Licht.”

The word “machen” requires over nine columns of text. Was kann mer alles mache? …Deeg, Brot, Nudle, Budder, Kaes, Handkaes, Wascht, etc.

In the article under “Magd” appears our word “die Maad.” Fogel is quoted with the saying: “Wann die Maad die Dreppe nuffallt, so viel Dreppe as noch ver’re sin, so viel Yaahr muss sie waarde, bis sie en Mann grickt.”

Has anyone heard the word “Maageauszehring,” which was taken from our 1970 Dutch dictionary?

Is the word “Maehd” (Streifen gemaehten Grases) still in use in your community? The forms “Mahre,” “Gemahre,” “Mahd,” and “Gemahd” are known in the Palatinate.

Does anyone still use the verb “mole” (in German “malen,” “zeichnen,” “schminken”)? How about this counting out rhyme from the Palatinate?

Mole, mole Maennche, hupps ins Paennche.

Hupps werrer (widder) raus, du bischt draus! ***

Later, we plan another column on the 32nd Lieferung of the “Pfaelzisches Woerterbuch,” the dictionary of the Palatinate dialects. We would be delighted if you were to respond to the words given above. Hock dich anne un schreib uns en Brief!

This week we salute with “unser Deitsch Schtrohhut” Messers Post and Schwing, the editors of the “Pfaelzisches Woerterbuch!!!

The Cat’s Out of the Bag

By: Pastor Ricky Kurth

Did you ever wonder how the figure of speech found in our title came to be used for the revealing of a secret? Some say it goes back to a time when piglets were sold in bags in open-air markets. In those days, an unscrupulous merchant

might sell an unsuspecting patron a bag containing a cat instead of a piglet, and it wasn’t until the hapless patron got home that the cat was out of the bag, and the merchant’s dishonest secret was revealed. And since cats have always been far less valuable than pigs, the patron was always less than thrilled to learn that the pork he thought he had purchased was only pork substitute!

Well, beginning with the ministry of the Apostle Paul, an infinitely more pleasing secret was revealed!

“Paul… an apostle… in hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world

began… But hath in due times manifested His word through preaching, which is committed unto me…” (Titus 1:1-3).

If you’re not sure what that word “manifested” means, it is well defined in something the Lord said:

“… nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest, neither any thing hid, that shall not be known…” (Luke 8:17).

So to make something manifest means to make known something that was secret or hidden.

That certainly applies to the promise of eternal life that God made to a Gentile like Titus! God promised

the Jews eternal life throughout the pages of the Old Testament, and Gentiles who wanted to get saved in those days had to get in on that promise by becoming “proselytes” (Acts 2:10).

But Paul was raised up to reveal that Gentiles no longer had to become Jews to get the eternal life that God promised the Jews. Paul revealed that Gentiles had their own promise of eternal life, one that God made before the world began, but didn’t let the cat out of the bag until Paul came along.

Humorist Will Rogers is said to have quipped, “Letting the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier

than putting it back in.” If you’ve ever released a cat that somehow managed to get trapped in a bag, you know he’s right! But there are many who are trying to put Paul’s cat back in the bag. That is, there are many who hold that Gentiles who want to be saved today must still try to get in on Israel’s promise of eternal life by keeping the Law that God gave them through Moses. Others insist that Gentiles who want to be saved must submit to water baptism “for the remission of sins,” as Peter told “the men of Israel” at Pentecost (Acts 2:38,22).

If you’re an unsaved Gentile, don’t you fall for it!

God promised you eternal life long before the Law was given, and the apostle who revealed this promise says that eternal life can’t be obtained by the “works of righteousness” of the Law (Tit. 3:5). He further declares that it is “by the washing of regeneration” (Tit. 3:5) that we are saved, and not the washing of water baptism. The “regeneration” or new birth of which he speaks is yours “by grace…through faith” (Eph. 2:8), faith in the fact that Christ died for your sins, and rose again (I Cor. 15:1-4).

And if you’re an unsaved Jew, things have changed for you too! Just as Gentiles

“Connecting you with God and others”

who wanted to be saved in time past had to look to Moses, the spiritual leader of the Jews, and be saved through the Law, so Jews who want to be saved today must look to Paul, “the apostle of the Gentiles” (Rom. 11:13), and be saved by grace through faith. That’s how the Body of Christ came to be made up of Jews and Gentiles (I Cor. 12:13; Gal. 3:28)!

So whether you’re a Jew or a Gentile, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).

Akron Concert Schedule

Rainy weather has forced the rescheduling of concerts at the Loyd H. Roland Memorial Park’s Pavilion 2 bandshell.

The concert line-up will continue with a Sunday, July 30 concert by Mitch and the Mood Swings. They will play the best of 60s music, rock and roll, soul and Motown. Singing for over 50 years, Mitch Mohler and his band promise to

“bring a smile” to those in attendance.

Finally, since the rain has kept audiences away for the previously scheduled Rizzetta’s Tones concert, the new concert date will be Sunday, September 3.

All 6:30 p.m. concerts are sponsored again by the law firm Haggerty, Silverman and Justice. People are invited to bring their lawn chairs or blankets and pack a picnic supper if you like to at the free concerts.

Randall Justice, Akron Borough Council member, had this to say about his

firm’s sponsorship: “This concert series is a great way for us to come together as friends and neighbors to really enjoy something that builds us all up as a community. I am proud that we have the opportunity to be a sponsor.”
