The Forgiving Jar By WANDA E. BRUNSTET T ER

Reviewed by DORIS SIGG Amish Heartland Writer

he Forgiving Jar is Book 2 of The Prayer Jars series. It continues the story of Michelle, a 24 year old girl who had posed as granddaughter to an Amish couple in Lancaster County. She stole money and fled the house when the real granddaughter Sara ultimately showed up. When she returns to face her crimes, with the urging of her friend Ezekiel, she asks for forgiveness and is given it, in typical Amish style. But her interactions with the real granddaughter are, at best, strained, and the two struggle to come to terms with each other and other past personal resentments. Michelle wonders if the community can truly forgive her for her misdeeds, and Sara doubts she can forgive Michelle and even her own mother and step-father for keeping information from her over the years. A mysterious jar contains slips of paper with thoughts, quotes, prayers, and biblical verses that prompt deep thinking by Sara. Especially after an accident that involves Michelle’s dog, her heart softens towards the “imposter.” Michelle, meanwhile, is struggling with her Amish faith, but while in this searching process, is able to lend Sara a guiding hand towards a Christian faith herself. Romance also abounds in this sweetly written novel.

New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Wanda E. Brunstetter is one of the founders of the Amish fiction genre. She has written close to 90 books translated in four languages. With over 10 million copies sold, Wanda’s stories consistently earn spots on the nation’s most prestigious bestseller lists and have received numerous awards.

OUR FO CUS is on customer service,” says owner Tim Schlabach. “Let us help you find that special item for your home.” Featuring Magnolia Homes lines and farmhouse, vintage and primitive interior decorating items, the store overflows with luscious offerings: pillows, throws, area rugs, centerpieces, and table settings complete with assorted linens. Aromatic candles greet the senses upon arrival in the store. and a friendly and knowledgeable staff attends to placement details and service. Schlabach’s brother and mother started the business in 1993. There were actually two stores at the time, Home Spun Treasures and Amish Country Peddler. 6

Aromatic candles greet the senses upon arrival in the store, and a friendly and knowledgeable staff attends to placement details and service. Homespun Treasures first opened its doors in May of 1993 offering primitive home accessories. Amish Country Peddler followed in June of 1995 offering more primitive home decor as well as a wider furniture selection. During 1995 and 1996 more retail space was added. The stores were consolidated and placed into one building and renamed “The Peddler” in 2013. (Sisterin-law Tonya started a new store in the remaining building. B-fearless is a clothing boutique, and is a stone’s throw from The Peddler.) Today The Peddler has become widely known for its impeccable primitive and farmhouse styles, full-range product lines, dedicated customer service and friendly atmosphere. The store has become a destination for many local and visiting

customers in the heart of Amish Country in Holmes County, Ohio. The collection the store has to offer is gathered from trade shows, most recently in Pennsylvania and Atlanta. Ohioan artists have created many of the products such as the pottery, wall art, and outdoor concrete statuary. Furniture is acquired locally. Other products are ordered from manufacturers. The idea on the road trips and online buying is to try to find unique products to set the store apart from the competition. The displays in the store change often as a result, which keeps the store fresh and appealing. The store is family-owned and boasts 10 full and part-time employees, some of which have been with the store over a decade. “They are very knowledgeable,” says Schlabach. “They can help with finding a single piece to match a customer’s décor, making decorative 8

Also enjoyable are the customers. “it’s fun seeing repeat customers year after year,” says Schlabach. “We become friends.” A lot of people come from a couple to several hours away, like Columbus and Cleveland, but some come from West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and some from even further away. The shopping season starts in earnest in March, and the first sale will be Memorial Day weekend. There will be an early bird special where customers will be given twenty percent off between the hours of 9 and 11 on Saturday.

â&#x20AC;&#x201C;AMISH FOOD TR ADITIONSâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; Story by Executive Director

Ma r c u s Y o d e r Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center

HAVE YOU ever wondered why the Amish eat the different foods and dishes that are distinctive to their culture and world? Have you ever wondered what dishes the Amish who first settled in America brought with them across the ocean? What did the earliest Amish settlers, who came to America in the 1730s, eat that reminded them of their home and past in Europe? Food is an important part of any culture. In fact, food is the essence of life in any society, culture, or world. Without food, water, and some form of shelter; survival for any species, including humans, is impossible. However, what food a society or culture consumes reveals more than just how it has survived in time; it also reveals a

great deal about their culture, interactions, beliefs; and the relationship of that society to the places where they lived. Most of the Amish who settled in Lancaster County, PA and Holmes County, OH have their roots in the valleys and mountains of Switzerland and afterwards north into the Rhine River valley of southern Germany. Here they lived, their language developed and their faith was strengthened. Since moving to America they have remained more culturally isolated, which allowed some of the cultural practices from the era (including food and language) to remain a common part of everyday life. People in 1550 and the 1600s, did not have nearly the Amish Heartland

diversity that modern peoples have in their diets. Without modern refrigeration and other methods of storage, people ate much differently than they do today. In most regions there was one, or perhaps several basic dishes that became central to life. In the southern German foodscape, especially among the lower class, this was Mus, a porridge-like soup that most people ate nearly all the time. The dominance of one dish like Mus was not unique; other regions had their foods and methods of preparation that shaped their larders and cooking pots. In fact, one food historian estimates that eighty percent of the lower class caloric intake came from these basic dishes.1 The landscape where one lived was the strongest influence on the menu and larder, but social hierarchy and economics played key roles as well. Economic historians have concluded that the average skilled worker or craftsman spent between sixty and seventy percent of their income on food. For the poor food was always a concern. They spent the largest portion of their time, energy, and effort in the production of food that went into these basic dishes. The modern world is full of recipes and cookbooks that reveal much about the foodscapes that produced them. A recipe may be thought of as “a set of instructions for the combination of ingredients that will eventually form a dish.” Recipes reveal not only the finished dishes that people ate, but also the ingredients and the processes that went into preparing the dish. The earliest known German cookbooks, or collection of recipes, are from the mid fourteenth century. One such early recipe is from Meister Hannsen, a cook in Wirtenburg, who published Von allerley kochen where he included the following recipe for Mus: Wer ein gut mus wil haben Those who want a good soup Das mach von sieben sachen Make it from seven items Du must haben milch, salcz, You must have milk, salt, und schmalcz, zugher, ayer un mel and lard, sugar, eggs, and flour Saffron darzu, so wirt es gell.2 And include saffron to give it color. 1.

March

The modern world is full of recipes and cookbooks that reveal much about the foodscapes that produced them. A recipe may be thought of as “a set of instructions for the combination of ingredients that will eventually form a dish.” Meister Hannsen’s Mus was prepared for the royal household in Wirtenburg where he cooked. It was prepared with expansive ingredients such as saffron, sugar, and white flour that was not in common use for the lower class. The milk base with the eggs and oils (schmalcz) added created a base that most common people in this era understood and ate every day in some form or other. Several years ago, on discovering this recipe I decided to try and make it myself. What I discovered is that I knew what I was eating! I was eating Rivel Soup. This is nothing new to an Amish person, and one has to almost grow up with this strange mixture of tastes to enjoy it. And I have discovered that people either love, or hate, this soup. I decided to research more about what and where this originated, and how it was prepared. Mus varied seasonally with the availability of the components. Legumes, such as beans, added protein and variation when they were available. Mus had many variations; it could be porridge-like, much as we eat oatmeal or cornmeal mush today. In fact Meister Hannsen’s recipe with quantitative adjustments is also the recipe for a basic cake. If the flour or grain input was reduced it was a broth or soup-like consistency, giving rise to the term brei, or broth. In this state legumes and meats could be added when they were available. Cabbage and turnips and other seasonal vegetables could be added as well, although this was more likely in its brei form than in its cake form. Thus it was possible to eat Mus as a soup, add more flour to the leftovers and bake it into a heavy cake-like dish. The other name that was sometimes applied to this dish is grütze (lit. groats or gruel). This most likely refers to the rough grains such as spelt, rye and oats that were added. A variation of this is the Rote Grütze, which is a pudding-like dish that takes its name from the rote (red) fruit that was often used. This boiled pudding dessert, with fruit added, is still popular today as evidenced by a host of available recipes on the Internet. Berries and

other wild fruits were gathered as part of the process of seasonal gatherings and so fruit was seasonally available for most people. Milk, with a sweetener, most likely honey, and crumbled bread were eaten with seasonal fruits, especially berries, creating a cold form of Mus. This refreshing mixture may have also been cooked to create a sweet pudding similer to Rote Grütze used up the available seasonal and local items that were a part of the landscape. There are three dishes that are worth a bit of reflection in relation to Mus. The first is what we call Bröt Suppe, often served at the Sunday service meal. This soup is made up of hot milk, eggs, butter, salt, crumbled up bread, and occasionally beans. For small children they often sweeten the soup to make it more palatable. It is not only easily made and inexpensive, it is what our forefathers ate in the “old country.” Another variation of Mus that many Amish enjoy is Rivel Suppe. Flour, salt, butter and eggs, are combined to form small rivels, or lumps. The rivels are then cooked in a hot milk base for about ten minutes, creating a chewy texture soaked in hot milk. Sometimes a sweetener is added to give the soup more flavor. Rivel Suppe is often served with bread on a cold winter evening. Nearly all the Amish today, would recognize these two items as connected deeply to their heritage. The cold version of Mus is also still in use today as well. One of the summer dishes that remains a staple in Amish households is Kälte Suppe (cold soup). In fruit season a fruit is prepared with crumbled bread, sugar and then cold milk is poured over the mixture. This variation is often eaten on summer evenings, and like Rivel and Bröt Suppe is deeply connected to our cultural heritage and history as a people. What did those first Amish immigrants eat as they carved out their farms in the American wilderness? Like their forefathers, they would have used up the milk

and bread by making hot and cold soups and porridges just like their families had done for generations. There is a reason that Rivel Suppe is a unique and distinct dish that we still eat today. It is because our ancestors carried it across the Atlantic Ocean, not in thermos bottles or slow cookers, but rather in their memories of their previous world. If you wish to learn more about the Amish, or their place in history, plan a visit the Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center. The Center offers guided tours of "Behalt" - a 10 ft. x 265 ft. cyclorama oil-on-canvas painting that illustrates the heritage of the Amish and Mennonite people from their Anabaptist beginnings in Zurich, Switzerland, to the present day. Behalt means “to keep” or “remember.” The Center is open Mon-Sat 9:00-5:00 and is located near Berlin, OH at 5798 County Road 77, Millersburg, OH 44654. Please call (330) 893-3192 for more information or to schedule a group tour. Marcus Yoder was born to an Amish family in the heart of Amish Country. His family later moved to the Mennonite Church where Marcus takes an active role in preaching, teaching and writing. He is the Executive Director of the Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center. In his thirties he decided to return to school and has a BA in History from The Ohio State University and a MA from Yale. He enjoys reading and writing and spending time with his wife, Norita.

–AMISH FOR A MOMENT–

Story by J OSH YODER Amish Heartland Contributing Writer

ABOVE LEFT: A view from inside the carriage. ABOVE RIGHT: A contrast to the traditional all-black buggy. Mel’s buggy is easily spotted on the streets of Berlin.

A TRIP to Amish Country is an opportunity to step through a doorway into a simpler time. Inside Boyd and Wurthmann Restaurant on Main Street in Berlin, one can begin his or her journey into the past by immersing themselves in the local tradition. Serving as a place of congregation, the old-fashioned restaurant plays host to the men and women that

define the unique plainclothes culture. For 17 years, visitors entering this gateway into the world of the Amish and Mennonite had seen the friendly face of John Erb, posted outside with his horse and buggy, decorated with balloons. For many, Erb provided the humble thrill of their first exposure to the mode of transportation so quintessential to the local way of life. But after heart surgery and a knee replacement, Erb passed the torch to the next generation of chauffeur, Mel Gingerich. A daily patron of the restaurant, Gingerich got to know Erb at the time of his retirement and saw an opportunity to fill the vacancy he would be leaving. With the public works project that widened main street several years ago, beautification to the sidewalks where Erb had originally hitched his buggy in the Martin Street alley has moved Gingerich’s unofficial buggy depot just west on Miller Avenue across the street from the Oak Barrel Company. Gingerich employs a standardbred, which according to him, is what most people are using to drive their buggies these days. Standardbred horses have medium-sized necks and muscular hindquarters. The solid-colored horses are typically 15 hands tall at the “withers,” the ridge between the animal’s shoulder

blades. With each “hand” equal to four inches, a 15 hand tall horse would be 5 feet tall. “Horses can live to thirty, and you can typically get 20 years of use out of one,” Gingerich said. After purchasing him at the age of three from a race track in Lexington, Kentucky, Gingerich’s horse Max is now 17 years old. Much like a car, when a horse reaches the end of its mileage, the owner will see signs of deterioration. “You’ll see horses start to stiffen up,” Gingerich said. “They may grow a little limp, or you’ll see a change in their gait.” While buggy travel is safe, an owner must know its horse. As locals have become accustomed to sharing the road with buggies, less precaution is used when passing buggies and can pose danger if a horse does not deal well with road hazards. Some horses are better with traffic and big trucks than others. When looking for a new horse, its comfort on the road is key factor for buggy owners to evaluate. With buggies continuing to be a mainstay on local roads, there is an abundant market for those needing to purchase a new horse. Like a big car dealership, the Mt. Hope Auction is a popular place to buy one. But if one does not like his or her options, there are also plenty of privately listed horse dealers in the local newspapers. On the local highways and byways, one may see a variety of buggy stiles. The difference in style and functionality of buggies is determined by the drivers’ church. The Swartzentruber Amish is the most primitive buggy style, utilizing only steel wheels and candle-lit lanterns for lights. “Some of the New Order Amish use rubber on their wheels and have more safety features like electronic blinkers and reflectors,” Gingerich said. “The rubber takes a lot of vibration off of the buggy, but the rubber can sometimes come out of the channel in the steel that it’s mounted in.” According to Gingerich, many people have started to use what are called “sandwich wheels,” in which the rubber is mounted between two rings of steel, creating a softer ride while preventing the rubber from rolling out of the steel channel in the wheel. A member of the Old Order, Gingerich’s buggy utilizes steel wheels with modest safety features. Standing out from the standard all-black buggy, Gingerich’s buggy is highlighted by its steel-plate lining and features reflectors and L.E.D. lights on both the front and back. Inside the carriage, two bench seats lined in deep red leather provide an earthy luxury to the rider while the open door slots usher in fresh country air and a

direct connection to his or her surroundings. With the relaxing clip-clop of Max’s hooves, the scenery slows down and gives visitors a chance to be Amish for a moment. Working for tips, the experience that Gingerich has to offer is affordable and suitable for people of all ages. This is an opportunity to get up close and personal with a way of life that for many has only existed in pictures and stories. To book a ride, give Mel a call at (330) 275-7896 or look for Max and his buggy, hitched on Miller Avenue in Berlin between Moxie and The Oak Barrel Company.

–From the Desk of Javon Miller– The Glory Of Youth Submitted by Javon Miller | Amish Heartland Contributor

“Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things, God will bring thee into judgment." E c c l e s i at e s 1 1 : 9

THESE LAST WEEKS of January have reminded me of the above verse and the truth that they convey. I have been keenly reminded that, as the saying goes, if you don’t like the weather, wait a bit and it will change. We live in Ohio! Yes, in 4 days time we saw temperatures fluctuate more than 70 degrees, not taking the wind chill into account! On Thursday morning January 31, our thermometer declared around -10 degrees F. By Sunday and Monday we saw temperatures rise to 60 degrees and pushing upwards. Does this happen anywhere outside of Ohio? One of the obvious results of this cold spell was the freezing of water. Twenty years ago, I would have been rejoicing to have this happen. This brings the neighboring farm ponds to a solid state of being. 24

March

Where once only fish and frogs moved, we can now walk on water. Yes, during the summer we “make hay while the sun shines.” During winter we have to skate while the ponds are frozen. This may be in less than ideal temperatures, but you can’t skate in balmy sunshine. The boys, and not only ours but all the cousins and fellow schoolchildren, come home from school with one thing in mind. “We have to skate tonight.” If we are in debate as to whether it will work out tonight, without a doubt, we are unfair because everyone else will be at it, and it will probably by the last evening before the weather breaks. I can finally understand what my parents endured while raising 3 sons that were only a year apart in age from each other. My heart

understands the pleas if my sons, but at times prudence must reign. There is school in the morning and chores to be done. “Yeah well, if we can’t go tonight, we WILL go tomorrow!” In the morning they complained that it is too cold or the roads are slippery, school should be cancelled. However, around 3 o’clock, these conditions were ideal for skating. And oh yeah, did I mention that we had a good bit of snow the previous weeks? Those snowy slopes are sure to disappear by tomorrow. It is just not fair if they can’t join the neighbor’s children on the pasture hill, we don’t get snow like this to go sledding every day! Parenting definitely takes the wisdom of Solomon and the patience of Job. I am just thankful that we don’t have the children of Israel. The complaints and begging of 2 are doable, but over a million dissatisfied grumblers? That was a task! And you thought that life slows down in the winter. I took the opportunity to join the boys on the ice a few times. I was painfully reminded that time swiftly past us flies. My mind was primed and knew all the moves. As a matter of fact my body still carried out the commands of the brain on how to move. Alack and alas! The feet do not always follow through with the orders! Oh, don’t get me wrong. I can still skate and join the fray of a good game of freeze tag or Shark! I just have to be a bit more careful of my twists, turns, and jumps. It just “ain’t what it used to be.” With a pursuer in full chase, where I used to just put on a little more speed, a quick dodge to the left and a quick stop and duck to the right, shook off the tagger, today I have to hope that my skate doesn’t catch in a crack and throw me off balance. I suppose if I kept my schedules from my youth, I would probably still be able to follow through with it. When skating weather permitted, we went skating 2-4 times a week. This was all worked in between our Wednesday evening youth Bible study and our Friday evening youth activities. We did not have enough skaters in our neck of the woods to make it interesting enough. Fortunately, we had friends in other youth groups. Our schedules were home from work, get the chores done, wolf down Mom’s good hot supper without even taking the time to fully appreciate her efforts, get the gear together, and impatiently wait for the van that took us to our destination. There were often 10-15 miles to cover, and the horse or bikes were not practical with the time allotted. We always had certain “taxi van drivers”

that were willing to make these runs and collect the extra cash. We usually left between 7 and 7:30 and came home around 11 o’clock. This is a secret between you and me. Be sure and don’t tell my sons this little nugget of info! The activity was hard and heavy. Anywhere from 50 to 100 youth on a pond. A quick dividing by lineup of age and 3 teams were allocated, then the action was on. If you think freeze-tag is only for elementary scholars, you have never experienced it on ice. I still thrill with the feeling of power, speed and mobility that can only be accomplished with metal skate runners and smooth ice.

I can finally understand what my parents endured while raising 3 sons that were only a year apart in age from each other. Imagine in your mind, 70 youth all moving at a fast pace in all directions. A third of these are taggers and are pursuing the rest to freeze them. The goal was to freeze them in a general proximity of others. That way the taggers could guard a few at a time. In the meantime, the “free” ones were trying to tag the frozen ones and free them. The scratch and swish of metal on ice and the insistent cry of “HELP” from the frozen victims was music to our ears. Sometimes in the fray collisions happened. I well remember the one evening that my second cousin, a sprite little bit of gal, and I were both going full out fleeing out pursuers. We were both focused on our situation and made some quick turns and moves. None of us saw the other until we hit head-on at full speed. She was, as I mentioned, a good bit smaller than me and was completely flattened. These things tended to happen frequently, but the exuberance of youth didn’t think to slow down. It was all a part of the fun. We both got up and went on our way again. As the free persons numbers dwindled and the frozen ones were becoming more concentrated to an area, the tempo picked up. Only the swiftest and fleetest of foot remained free! Suddenly the call went out, “Taggers, 26

March

form a line.” If you were a tagger and had frozen some prized specimen in a remote corner, you reluctantly gave up and joined the line. It was sure that the prey you had successfully tagged would be freed, if not behind the line. So we formed a solid line so that our hands touched as closely as possible while still covering the width of the pond. The most fleet-footed patrolled behind the line and slowly skated the whole length. They wove in and out and kept everyone in line and moving. They were also to keep the “Free” skaters from penetrating the line.. Slowly but surely the free ones dwindled down as the line consumed their space. The tempo raises. The speed picks up as the free ones work the lines. There were always the notorious weak spots where certain individuals could not resist the urge to jump at certain people and try to tag them. This was not to happen as it weakened the line. However, the good skaters would come into reach and just as the tagger reached out, they would jump away, and if the tagger was thrown off balance enough, the free person put on a quick move and burst of speed. Through the line he went and chaos reigned. The line retreated and started over again. So ensued the cold winter evenings. The activity was so hot that even in 0-15 degree evenings, a good sweat shirt, stocking cap, and gloves were all that was needed. Bodies were steaming from sweat and heat. Needless to say, the sleep that night was short but intense. It was good clean fun. Our parents knew where we were at. Many friendships were made and others strengthened. Who knows, possibly even some marriages initiated with the situation bringing two people side by side that typically had no connection with each other. I enjoyed these activities so much. And I well remember my own battle cry of, “DAAADDDD, you went to Trail almost every evening when you were with the youth. Why can’t we go just two evenings a week.” I can sympathize with the boys when they want to go, so oftentimes we skate when the ice is right. We just need to keep in mind that life is more than just play. It is appointed unto men once to die but after this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27. We will all come before the throne of God and need to be ready for that moment. We were keenly reminded of that this winter already. We have an uncle by marriage that unexpectedly passed on at the age of 55 years. He was visiting a daughter on the mission field and died of an apparent heart-related

Parenting definitely takes the wisdom of Solomon and the patience of Job. I am just thankful that we don’t have the children of Israel. issue while snorkeling with a group from the mission. Another more distant relative who was 62 and his 19 year old son were eating at a restaurant before retiring for the night. They were in a neighboring state for a horse auction. He was an auctioneer and did this for many years already. A relationship turned sour between a young man and his girlfriend, and he opened fire with a random shooting in the restaurant, and the father and son were two of the victims. Two other Amish couples from the Midwestern states were traveling to their Grandmother’s funeral when they became involved in an accident on the road. One husband and wife were instantly killed leaving, I believe, 5 children as survivors. The second mother’s life is currently in limbo. Our life is fragile. Do we live it as such? Do we follow the desires of our heart or do we follow the direction God points us toward? I have just been reminded that although we are healthy, fit, and able, we need to live a life for Christ because we are not promised tomorrow. Let’s remember who controls this world. There is no human wisdom nor knowledge that could take water and change it into 3 different forms merely by changing temperatures. Our God is great and worthy to be

praised! One mother told her youngest daughter that she and her older daughters were all given the gift of walking on water on their 21st birthday. The youngest tried it and could not succeed. She asked her mother why she couldn’t if the rest could. Her mother reminded the youngest that she had a summer birthday whereas the rest had January birthdays. I will close with the words between Job and God during Job’s great distress. God vividly reminded Job that He is still in control regardless of our situation. Even nature declares it! “Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew? Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? Job 38:28-29
