“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and
rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and
where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there
your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6: 19-21)
Since a young girl, I have been fascinated with stories about buried treasure. Some
of my favorite movies of all time are the Goonies and the Indiana Jones series, both
high adventure tales involving the hunt for great treasures. I loved imagining that buried
in the woods behind my childhood home was a great treasure, perhaps a trunk of gold
coins hidden there by the Union or the Confederate armies as they battled in our valley
or perhaps a cache of jewels left behind by a band of bloodthirsty pirates. (Although I
could never quite rationalize how or why the pirates came so far inland to the mountains
of WV. Maybe they were on their way to Pittsburgh. Get it? Pittsburgh Pirates. LOL)
Still, I spent a lot of hours playing the part of an adventurer on the hunt for treasure.
In my continuing fascination for all things treasure, I was delighted several years
ago to come across a story about “buried treasure” that first ran in the May 17, 1987
edition of The Atlanta Journal Constitution. There was a man named Rob Cutshaw, a
rock hound, who owned a little roadside shop outside Andrews, NC. Like many rock
hounds, Mr. Cutshaw was an avid hunter of gemstones who sold them to collectors or
jewelry makers and in his own shop. While on a dig some twenty years earlier, Mr. Cutshaw found a blue rock which he described as “purdy-n-big.” He tried to sell it in his
shop but was unsuccessful. The rock eventually ended up “buried” in a box in his closet. Until one day he saw a TV program on sapphires and thought his rock looked as big,
if not bigger, as the ones they were selling on TV.
He figured his rock could bring in as much as $500 dollars. That’s how close Mr.
Crenshaw came to selling for a few hundred dollars what turned out to be one of the
largest, most valuable sapphires ever found. The “purdy-n-big” blue rock he had abandoned to the dark recesses of his closet is now known as the "The Star of David" sapphire. It weighed in at nearly a pound, and its value was estimated at $2- 3 million!
What a treasure! What I wouldn’t have given to find a treasure like that all those years
ago when I hunted in the forest behind my house! When I first read this story, I was incredulous. How did he not know what he had? How could he just put it away in the closet to be forgotten?
(Continued on next page.)
As I reflect upon what we treasure in our lives and in our hearts, several things come to mind. Many people
treasure their time, home, vehicles, possessions, and resources. Many people treasure the earth and making
sure that all living things have sustenance. Many people treasure other people—our friends, our families, our
church communities and social communities. Many of us, when asked what we treasure the most, respond that
we treasure the people with whom we share relationships of mutual respect, caring, love and faithfulness.
The writer of the gospel of Matthew writes: For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Did you catch it? I missed it until a colleague of mine pointed out to me that Matthew isn’t saying what our
treasure is, there your heart will be also. No, the Scripture says where your treasure is, there your heart will be
also. In the story, the man figured he had a treasure in this blue rock, but where was it—hidden away in a closet for decades, forgotten. We are smart enough to recognize that the close, loving relationships we have with
others and with God are precious treasure. But where are these precious relationships in our lives? Are they at
the forefront of our lives, where our hearts will also be, fully engaged and invested in the health and vitality of
the relationships? Or have we put them away in a closet, forgotten and neglected, collecting dust, with our
hearts otherwise engaged elsewhere?
And as people of faith, we have reason enough to recognize that God gives us abundant and life giving and lifelong treasure in the bath of baptism, in the meal of holy communion, in the word of the good news of Jesus
Christ, and in the fellowship of the body of Christ. These are amazing and precious treasures, treasures whose
value is everlasting and beyond measure or price. And yet, it is so surprising how often we too put these precious treasures away, not coming to God’s life-giving water, meal, word, or fellowship for weeks, months, or
years. In the putting away of such eternal and heavenly treasure, I don’t think we realize how much we miss out
on the benefits and blessings of God’s love to us and for us through these means of God’s grace. The longer
we keep these treasures stowed away in the closets of our lives, the less and less our hearts are engaged and
present to be nourished and sustained by God’s unconditional mercy, love, and grace. There was a time in my
life I put aside these treasures. Now I can’t imagine getting through my days or my life without them.
On February 18th, Ash Wednesday, we entered the season of Lent. I have been reflecting how Lent itself comes
to us as a gift of time, time set apart in the church year so that we can repent of our putting away of God’s
treasures. We can return to the eternal and abundant treasures of God’s forgiveness, salvation, and new life in
Christ given for you and for all people. Trusting that through this, God can and will renew in us a clean heart so
that we are once again fully engaged and present within our relationships with God and with others, and within
our worship and fellowship life. This is God’s great treasure for us that God promises neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
I pray, holy and gracious God, that our hearts be also and ever with you, with loved ones and with the fellowship of the faithful.
Blessings,
Pastor Kara

10 Essential Health Tips For Seniors
From baby boomers to senior boomers: 10 tips
to keep you healthy and fit
The first wave of baby boomers are turning 65 years
old this year and becoming "senior boomers" and
Medicare-eligible. In fact, more than 10,000 baby
boomers a day are now turning 65—that’s one every
eight seconds, a pattern expected to continue for the
next 19 years.
Happily, aging is different now than it was for our parents and grandparents. Today, there are more people
living longer than at any other time in history. In fact,
boomers will number 78 million by 2030. “This generation, associated with social change including the civil rights and anti-war movements in the 1960s, has
another important cause—staying healthy,” says
soon-to-be 65-year-old Arthur Hayward, MD, a geriatrician and clinical lead physician for Kaiser Permanente. “We need to become activists in promoting
healthful behaviors and try our best to remain active
and healthy the rest of our lives.”
How to do it? Dr. Hayward recommends these 10
easy health tips for seniors to help baby boomers live
longer and thrive:
1.Quit smoking. Take this critical step to improve
your health and combat aging. Smoking kills by causing cancer, strokes and heart failure. Smoking leads
to erectile dysfunction in men due to atherosclerosis
and to excessive wrinkling by attacking skin elasticity.
Many resources are available to help you quit.
PAGE 4
2.Keep active. Do something to keep fit each
day—something you enjoy that maintains strength,
balance and flexibility and promotes cardiovascular
health. Physical activity helps you stay at a healthy
weight, prevent or control illness, sleep better, reduce stress, avoid falls and look and feel better, too.
3.Eat well. Combined with physical activity, eating
nutritious foods in the right amounts can help keep
you healthy. Many illnesses, such as heart disease,
obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and
osteoporosis, can be prevented or controlled with
dietary changes and exercise. Calcium and vitamin
D supplements can help women prevent osteoporosis.
4.Maintain a healthy weight. Extra weight increases
your risk for heart disease, diabetes and high blood
pressure. Use the Kaiser Permanente BMI (body
mass index) calculator to find out what you should
weigh for your height. Get to your healthy weight
and stay there by eating right and keeping active.
Replace sugary drinks with water—water is calorie
free!
5. Prevent falls. We become vulnerable to falls as
we age. Prevent falls and injury by removing loose
carpet or throw rugs. Keep paths clear of electrical
cords and clutter, and use night-lights in hallways
and bathrooms. Did you know that
(Cont. on page 5)
Health Tips cont. from page 4)
people who walk barefoot fall more frequently? Wear
shoes with good support to reduce the risk of falling.
6.Stay up-to-date on immunizations and other
health screenings. By age 50, women should
begin mammography screening for breast cancer.
Men can be checked for prostate cancer. Many preventive screenings are available. Those who are
new to Medicare are entitled to a “Welcome to Medicare” visit and all Medicare members to an annual
wellness visit. Use these visits to discuss which
preventative screenings and vaccinations
7. Prevent skin cancer. As we age, our skin
grows thinner; it becomes drier and less elastic.
Wrinkles appear, and cuts and bruises take longer
to heal. Be sure to protect your skin from the sun.
Too much sun and ultraviolet rays can cause skin
cancer.

8. Get regular dental, vision and hearing checkups. Your teeth and gums will last a lifetime if you
care for them properly—that means daily brushing and flossing and getting regular dental checkups. By age 50, most people notice changes to
their vision, including a gradual decline in the ability to see small print or focus on close objects.
Common eye problems that can impair vision include cataracts and glaucoma. Hearing loss occurs commonly with aging, often due to exposure
to loud noise.
9. Manage stress. Try exercise or relaxation techniques—perhaps meditation or yoga—as a means
of coping. Make time for friends and social contacts and fun. Successful coping can affect our
health and how we feel. Learn the role of positive
thinking.
10. Fan the flame. When it comes to sexual intimacy and aging, age is no reason to limit your
sexual enjoyment. Learn about physical changes
that come with aging and get suggestions to help
you adjust to them, if necessary.

Notes on the Liturgy
Sunday, March 1, 2015 Second Sunday in Lent
The second covenant in this year's Lenten readings is the one
made with Abraham and Sarah: God's promise to make them
the ancestors of many, with whom God will remain in
everlasting covenant. Paul says this promise comes to all who
share Abraham's faith in the God who brings life into being
where there was no life. We receive this baptismal promise of
resurrection life in faith. Sarah and Abraham receive new
names as a sign of the covenant, and we too get new identities
in baptism, as we put on Christ.
Sunday, March 8, 2015
Third Sunday in Lent
The third covenant in this year's Lenten readings is the central
one of Israel's history: the gift of the law to those God freed
from slavery. The ten commandments are one of the chief
parts of Luther's catechism, a core piece of baptismal
instruction. They begin with the statement that because God
alone has freed us from the powers that oppressed us, we are
to let nothing else claim first place in our lives. When Jesus
throws the merchants out of the temple, he is defending the
worship of God alone and rejecting the ways commerce and
profit-making can become our gods.
Sunday, March 15, 2015Fourth Sunday in Lent
The fourth of the Old Testament promises providing a
baptismal lens this Lent is the promise God makes to Moses:
those who look on the bronze serpent will live. In today's
gospel Jesus says he will be lifted up on the cross like the
serpent, so that those who look to him in faith will live. When
we receive the sign of the cross in baptism, that cross
becomes the sign we can look to in faith, for healing, for
restored relationship to God, for hope when we are dying.
Sunday, March 22, 2015
Fifth Sunday in Lent
God promises Jeremiah that a "new covenant" will be made in
the future: a covenant that will allow all the people to know
God by heart. The church sees this promise fulfilled in Christ,
who draws all people to himself when he is lifted up on the
cross. Our baptismal covenant draws us to God's heart
through Christ and draws God's light and truth into our
hearts. We see God's heart most clearly in the way Jesus
shares human suffering, in an agony both the John and
Hebrews readings describe.
Sunday, March 29, 2015
Palm Sunday
The second covenant in this year's Lenten readings is the one
made with Abraham and Sarah: God's promise to make them
the ancestors of many, with whom God will remain in
everlasting covenant. Paul says this promise comes to all who
share Abraham's faith in the God who brings life into being
where there was no life. We receive this baptismal promise of
resurrection life in faith. Sarah and Abraham receive new
names as a sign of the covenant, and we too get new identities
in baptism, as we put on Christ.
