Help Me Get This Part Right! How many similar prayers have been launched heavenward

as a new driver faced their parallel parking test? The hours spent practicing with orange cones in empty parking lots. The humility

of begging another family member or friend to borrow their car for your driving exam, because it’s about a foot shorter than the one you learned in.

With the advent of self-driving cars maybe it will be something we’ll never have to worry about again. Some Teslas can already park themselves. The 2019 Volkswagen Arteon has something called Park Assist that actually looks for a parking spot that it will fit into, and then turns the wheel for you.

v


Mathematician Simon Blackburn has boiled it all down to a formula. He used the Pythagorean Theorem and a series of variables (the radius of the car’s turning circle, the distance between front and back wheels, the distance from the center of the front wheel to the front of the car, and the width of the already parked car) to devise what he calls the “perfect parking maneuver,” in which a car swings directly into the empty slot with no additional wiggling required. Assuming you have all that information, or that the traffic behind you is willing to wait while you run around with your measuring tape, you can plug the numbers into the formula below and you should be good to go.

Or you could just buy a car that has the tech to do it, OR, you could do what I usually do and just park someplace else and walk. Besides can you really trust a guy who spells curb k-e-r-b? He’s English. Sometimes we make things a lot harder than they should be. But even if things aren’t that hard it might be because it was hard for someone else so we could reap a not so hard benefit someday. How long do you suppose that guy worked on the formula for parallel parking to prove it was mathematically possible? And why? A simple diagram seems a whole lot easier to understand.

Take, oh I don’t know, how to get to heaven for example. A lot of people are evidently interested in that because a Google search will turn up over four hundred fifty million pages of articles. And on top of that there are three hundred fifty million pages of quizzes to find out whether or not you’re aimed toward that narrow door that is Jesus. A whole bunch of people think salvation is a sort of test you have to pass and since you don’t actually get to see it or even see how you did until it’s too late to do

something about it, they live in this sort of in-between place, thinking and hoping, but not knowing for sure. It’s sad, really, when you can know, because Jesus did the hard part for us. You have to be perfect to get into God’s perfect place? He was perfect for us. You have to pay the penalty for all your sins? The wages of sin as the Bible puts it? He paid it for us. All that is left to do is believe it and God even gives us that faith to

believe as his free gift. That means you’re as good as in—just as long as you don’t give it back. The story of how Jesus accomplished all that for us is probably the best story ever put to papyrus or paper. But to know it you have to read it, and the best way to read it is often with others in a Bible study group. We offer several throughout the week here at Peace. You can find them in the bulletin or check out the calendar page on our website. Give the office a call and we’ll hook you up. Some of them are just getting ready to start up for the new season. You might be surprised to discover that a lot more happens during that hour or so each week than just reading. There’s a lot of talking and sharing as your study group begins to grow into a group of close friends. As you grow closer to God through your study, you’re likely to find that you are growing closer to each other—brothers and sisters in Christ who care about your struggles and victories in life. They will become encouragers and comforters, and you will too. You don’t even have to know one end of the Bible from the other to make the leap and begin learning for yourself from God’s own Word how getting to our forever home in heaven works. One thing’s for sure. It’s a whole lot easier than learning to parallel park!

Rally Day got our new “Academic Year” at Peace off to a good start for fall. Actually, this year, we celebrated “Rally Weekend” with an energetic jump start on the trampolines and padded

obstacle courses at Dojo Boom on Saturday. Thank you, Sages, for a successful launch around God’s Word!

Sunday’s GAMES included a ring toss, memory match, sack races, three legged races & more. Certainly, one of the highlights of the day, however, was Pastor Rob’s (Pastor Potato Head’s) Children Message at the one 10:30AM Service. Laughter & joy! The crowd & sloppy joe’s were great, too! Did you see Pastor Mike in his new collared shirt? Don't you just ♥ our church??!!

The first Monday in September is a holiday for many Americans, a tribute to the productivity of American labor and a recognition of the need for workers to have a day off. Ironically, it is not a holiday for those whose job it is to serve those on holiday. It signals a beginning and an end; summer is waning, but fall is just around

the corner. The school year and football season begin while vacations and the baseball season wind down. For those who are determined to get the most out of this last nationwide holiday of the summer, it often is not all that restful. In fact, it could turn out to be an ordeal because of hordes of people swamping the beaches, parks, and other entertainment venues and who are determined to have a good time. What does God say about the need for work and the need for rest?

We know that God gave Adam and Eve the job of caring for the Garden of Eden, but He also declared the Sabbath to be a day of rest. He is our creator and knows what is best for us, that our bodies need physical activity, mental stimulation, and spiritual connection with Him. But we also need time for our body and mind to regenerate. Everything is wonderfully connected. What affects our body and mind also affects our spirit. Sunday, our Sabbath day, is a day to worship God, and yet it is also a day in which we celebrate the gifts that God gives us, both material and spiritual. Through His Word and sacraments, God urges to labor for Him, to be His people, and at the same time promises to relieve us of the burdens of sin and guilt. We have God’s peace through our faith in Jesus Christ, and it is a gift God gives us daily. For us every day is Labor Day, a day to spread God’s Word and show His love, and a day to receive the rest that only God can give us through His Holy Spirit. May God bless our Labor Day(s).

PEACE HEALTH HEALTHY SLEEP

I am sure you have heard for most of your life that eight hours of sleep are essential for good health. This is a true average, but just as importantly the quality of sleep maintains a healthy-life style. According to the Centers for Disease Control lack of sleep AND sleep disorders or sleep problems can raise your risk of chronic health disease, including Heart Disease, Stroke, Type 2 Diabetes and High Blood Pressure. Lack of sleep or sleep problems can even cause Obesity and Depression and can affect longevity of life. . Some of the major Sleep Disorders include:

Insomnia – Insomnia is characterized by the inability to initiate or maintain sleep. It may show as early wakening wherein one wakes several hours early and cannot return to sleep. It often manifests in excessive sleepiness during the daytime, difficulty functioning or difficulty completing daily tasks. Narcolepsy – Narcolepsy is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness including an irresistible sleepiness with sudden muscle weakness. Extreme emotion or surprise may trigger an attack. The sleep attack may even occur while walking or performing other physical activities. Restless Leg Syndrome – Restless Leg Syndrome is characterized by an unpleasant “creeping” sensation or a feeling of “pins and needles” which feels as if initiates in the legs. It often includes aching and pain in the legs and causes difficulty in falling asleep. It is sometimes lessened or relieved by movement of the legs as walking or kicking. Sleep Apnea - Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. It may manifest with snoring alternating with frequent gasping or “snorting” noises during which sleep is interrupted. If you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night's sleep, you might have sleep apnea.

How do you know if you have a sleep problem or are developing a sleep disorder?? Do you have difficulty staying awake and alert during daily activities, or while driving? Are you very accident prone or becoming more accident prone? Do you wake up exhausted after a “good night’s sleep”? Do you nap most days, or nap more frequently than usual? Does it take more than 30 minutes to fall asleep each night? When you fall asleep, do you stay asleep throughout the night? Do your arms or legs jerk you awake while sleeping at night? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, or should you feel you have or are developing a sleep disorder, it is important that you discuss the symptoms with your physician, your primary care provider. Known as “sleep hygiene”, there are simple things you can do to improve your sleeping pattern. Some of these things include:

Be consistent – Go to bed at the same time each night, and get up at the same time every morning, including on the weekends or when not working. If you don’t fall asleep within twenty minutes, get out of bed, sit in a chair reading or listening to soft, relaxing music. Don’t continue to lie in bed, “stressing” to fall asleep. Adjust your environment - Make sure your bedroom is a quiet, dark and relaxing environment kept at a comfortable temperature. You can assure your environment is dark by purchasing blackout curtains or a sleeping mask. Remove electronic devices from the bedroom, or at minimum refrain from watching TV in bed, or utilizing the computer or your cell phone immediately before retiring. Studies have shown that the blue light emitted by electronic devices suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates your sleep pattern. Establish a bedtime routine – Follow the same preparations every night to help in triggering your body to know it is time to wind down. Refrain from caffeine filled beverages, large meals, and alcoholic beverages before retiring. Drink a cup of warm caffeine-free herbal tea, take a warm bath, a warm but not hot shower, read for a few minutes, and include a time for prayer. Warm milk has long been touted to be a good sleep-aid. Milk contains both tryptophan and melatonin, hormones that do assist in the sleep cycle, and it may assist some people in falling asleep. However. if you are lactose intolerant, have blood glucose issues, or weight issues, it may cause more problems than it helps. The lactose, a form of glucose or sugar in the milk may even stimulate you. Be Physically Active – Physical activity during the daytime hours will help you be ready to sleep at night. However, don’t do your workout immediately before retiring for the night. Use a Weighted Blanket – Some studies have shown that people with insomnia or sleep disorders improve their sleep health with the use of a weighted blanket. In short, weighted blankets put gentle pressure on the body, giving a sense of calm and security.

If you so have trouble with your sleep pattern, you are not alone. There are over 50 million Americans who have been diagnosed with sleep disorders, and many people with undiagnosed sleep issues. And for those who sleep less than 6 hours a night, there is a small percentage of the population who are known as “Short Sleepers”. These people regularly sleep less than 6 hours per night and yet are able to function normally despite the short amount of sleep. This occurs naturally for these people, beginning in childhood or as young adults, and it occurs every night. Short sleepers feel fresh and alert every morning upon awakening, and they do not try to “catch-up” on the weekends.
