I entered Southeastern General Hospital on Tuesday, January 24th, 1989 in serious condition. There were nee dles in my arms for six days and I required a constant supply of oxy gen, etc. Sickness can undermine your feelings of worth and useful ness. You can become sick in Spirit, especially at a time when you need to feel close to God. However, no matter how low or abandoned I felt. I would get a little Spiritual nudge- a reminder of all the people in my church and community who were praying for me. On this occasion, in addition to my asthma and other problems, I required double sinus surgery. That was quite an experien ce. Something that I had to tolerate. There are times when it seems that life throws the entire book at you. But is is unworthy of a Christian to say "Well, Tve had it This problem is too much for me. I can't handle it anymore." I learned a new the way to hand defeat...I quoted it many times during my stay in the hospital. That is Phillippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which streng theneth me." That verse will knock defeatism out of you. Life is not easy. Everyone has some hardships, sorrows, and heavy problems to face in one way or another. Right now we have many many people from our community and church, Mt. Airy, who are sick. God help us to keep bitterness out and not envy those who enjoy good health. Help us to accept it with fortitude and hope that it is not a sign that thou hast withdrawn thy love. For even when we are asleep, the Great Physician is at work within the Creation He has made - not forget ting the responsibilities when I returned home which were left to other hands. I am grateful for the numerous friend who came daily, sharing thier love .in preparing meals, and various chores. My memories of you, my friends, are the kind that don't fade. I can only thank God and trust Him to relay all that I feel in my heart but can't say in person. Especially to all my visiting friends at home and during my stay in the hospital. Thanks again! IN LOVING MEMORY Mrs. Velma Lowery Mitchuson departed this life Saturday, Feb. 25, 1989. Velma was a former sister-in- \ law of our family. She was married to \ our oldest brother. Governor. They I shared a brief life together before Ws I departure. A very close relationship always existed between our family and Velma. She really had high regards for our family. She visited Mom frequently before her passing in 1980. To all her relatives: Remember Death is just a gateway our loved ones pass through. On their way to the Land where we're all bom anew. And while we can't see what is on death's other$i<ie. We know that our Father will richly provide. All that He promised to those who believe. And His kingdom is waiting for us to receive. Velma's absence will live deep in the hearts of many who passed her way. Sleep on now! Read Romans 8:18. REFLECTIONS BY ALTA NYE OXENDINE S.\LM AN RUSHDIE Unfortunately for him, the name "Salman Rushdie" has become a household word. As I watched, listened to, and read the news about the Muslim reaction to Rushdie's new book, I kept wondering what kind of person he really was. A few days ago, as I happened to glance at some books in the living room bookshelf, I found myself shuddering with shock. I walked closer. Once more the words jumped out at me: Salman Rushdie The Jaguar Smile A Nicaraguan Journey So I do know a little about the author of Satanic Verses, after all. THE FOURTH BOOK ON CENTRAL AMERICA Along with others in the area, Wanda Kay and I bought several books at the LRDA Bookstore last fall. In an effort to learn what has really been going on, in & around Nicaragua. I had already read three books on Central America, which1 provided varying viewpoints on the Sandinistas and the Contras. But Salman Rushdie's book. The Jaguar Smile, gives a first hand account of the trip he took through Nicaragua in the summer of 1986. Quoting from the front jacket: "This brilliantly focused and haunting portrait of the people, the politics, the land, and the poetry of Nicaragua comes from the pen of a great novelist who is also one of our most discerning political journalists and it comes just tn time. The reality of Nicaragua has been all but submerged in a flood of distorting and confusing headlines, but Salman Rushdie's book brings the palpable, human facts of the N'caraguan experience to the forefront---where they belong?As el escrilor hindu las the Nicaraguans called Aim |, a "Third World writer" himself, Mr. Rushdie had a different vantage point on these issues, and on Central America in general, than the predic table ones of North Americans and Europeans |o/both West and Fast|. " THE SANDINISTAS I rem-'mber having two personal reactions to Salman Rushdie's "Nica raguan Journey." First. I thought that Daniel Ortego must have been pleased with the account of his government. Second, it seemed that Salman Rushdie had never really enjoyed an organized religious service until he attended one in the Riguero barrio of Managua. Nicara gua. Somoza was cast as Pharoati. The Sandinistas were likened to Moses. FORMER SANDINISTA I had just stumbled upon another account of Nicaragua in an old October, 1985, Reader's Digest. In his story. El Tigrillo: Portrait of a Contra, author Trevor Armbrister tells why Encarnacion Valdivia de fected from the Sandinistas to the Contra s. After taking part in the overthrow of the "corrupt" Somoza govern ment. Valdivia was trained in infantry tactics and told that a U.S. invasion was imminent. However, by 1981 Valdivia had come to realize that the Sandinistas seemed more interested in cooperating with advi sors from such Souviet-bloc states as Cuba and North Vietnam than in carrying out the promises made to the Organization of American States before coming into power. Actually, according to the author, Valdivia's disillusionment began when, as a "Devout Catholic in a Catholic Country, (he was at first confused, then offended by Sandi nista priests of the 'Peoples Church,' who opposed the traditional church. These priests never mentioned God or Jesus Christ; their homilies referred instead to martyrs of the revolution. When Easter 1980 drew near, Carlos Morales, the Cuban trained company commander, declared that anyone who renounced God would receive a six-day pass. Soldiers who defended God began getting a red M * in their record books. After the third M, they would disapper. The letter M was short for muerfe-death. Valdivia began to see the revolution for what it really was." (Readers Digest, October, 1985, pp 99-100) THE JAGUAR SMILE On the back cover of Salman Rushdie's book. The Jaguar Smile: A Xicaraguan Journey, is an account of his dream on his last night in Nicaragua. Afterward,lying awake, he decided that the limerick about a young girl from Nicaragua riding a jaguar could have either of two meanings: The young girl could be the then seven-year-old revolution and the jaguar, "geopolitics" or the United States. This is the "leftist" interpre tation. Rushdie said. "But what if the young girl were Nicaragua itself, and the jaguar was the revolution?" he wondered. '' There was a young girl of Nic ragua Who smiled as she rode on a jaguar. They returned from the ride WtfA the young girl inside And the smile on the face of the jaguar. Anon.
