A Beautiful Arrangement

– B o o k R e v i e w–

By BETH W ISEMAN Reviewed by JILL SELL Amish Heartland Contributing Writer

eing 17 years old with a 6-month-old boppli (baby) is challenging enough. But for Lydia Bontrager, a young Amish woman living with a husband she loves, but is not in love with, life also can be depressing. Samuel Bontrager is a good man and slightly older than Lydia. He feels he should have been the one to control the situation the time the two were first together and a pregnancy resulted. The real problem -- the couple just aren’t on the same page. A Beautiful Arrangement by Beth Wiseman (Zondervan) is the third and final novel in the Amish Journey series. Most Amish romance novels are tender, and reward faithfulness, patience and forgiveness. But it’s rare to find a story that also examines the role intimacy plays in a loving marriage. A Beautiful Arrangement, however, gently tackles the subject. Facing a number of false starts, disappointments, curveballs and complications, Lydia and Samuel must find a way to be honest and sensitive to each other’s needs. Otherwise, their marriage is just a union in the eyes of the church.

A Beautiful Arrangement has everything you want in an escape novel -- an abandoned scary old house and an even scarier old woman, realistic men who are manly enough to shed tears, cute babies, romantic dates and a young woman whose life begins to blossom with maturity.

Visual artist Jeannette Perez, museum curator Jason Nies, and the Amish builder/owner of Elite Renovation Vernon Herschberger found what they were looking for. The three collaborated on the future museum installation of Primitive Gateway (the title may change after installation) at The Inn at Honey Run, located on

56 acres. The sculpture joins eight pieces of artwork at one of the few open air art museums in Ohio. “I don’t have an artistic bone in my body,” admitted Jason Nies, who became proprietor of the inn in 2009 and opened the museum about five years ago. “But I appreciate art and really enjoy it. We are funding the museum ourselves. There is no grant money. We are

just a small company and don’t make a lot of profit. But we want to try to add at least one piece to the museum each year.” The temporary closure of the inn due to the shutdown related to COVID-19 earlier in 2020 has put the museum’s acquisition plans a bit behind. But artist Perez is patient. Born in Puerto Rico and now living

in Holmes County, she has designed five gateways of varying sizes with 8-foot by 8-foot cedar logs. Traditional wood carving techniques will be used on each of the gateway’s lintels. “At first I thought the wood should be natural. But the more I thought about it, it was important to create a contrast with the woods,” said Perez, who will paint the gateways a “very bold black” and add a circular pathway of white crushed quartz. “I want people to see the gateway and walk through it without hesitation. But I also want it to be a place of meditation.”

“Whatever metaphor people see, we know the piece is unexpected when they walk up the hill and come into the meadow,” said Joel Burke, who along with Brian Sell and Jim Lehnert, make up the artistic trio BLS Collaborative, the artwork’s creators. “You are in the sunlight at the highest point of the trail and that really helps the glass pop.” Nies welcomes all reactions he gets to his museum in the middle of Ohio’s Amish country. He is optimistic about this “hidden gem of a museum” and his “really cool community of artists” he has gathered.

Perez counts both the prehistoric monument Stonehenge and a torii (a traditional Japanese gate) as part of her inspiration for the museum piece. She considers this artwork to be a “transition between the ancient ways and the sacred.” Nies hopes to have the work up later this year or in 2021.

“I don’t expect everyone to love every piece in the museum, or to even understand every piece,” said Nies. “But I say they are all neat pieces. They all stand alone and are not necessarily related to the Inn at Honey Run. It will probably make more sense in five to 10 years when I have a greater quantity of pieces.”

Among the current pieces in the collection: a 10-foottall, Native American-inspired steel totem pole titled Face of the Nations and created by former local artists Jan and Vince Bowden; and a 90-foot- by-22-foot mural created by Columbus artist Mandi Caskey, called Chance Medley. Also, Archer’s Roost by Lauren Skunta, which is made from more than 12,000 hand-dyed paint sticks, and artist Katharine Marie’s Being Time, a large cuckoo clock made mostly of natural materials.

Nies welcomes visitors to his museum at no charge even if they are not guests of the inn. He does request visitors first check in at the inn’s front desk before walking the art trail. The museum is open all year, and Nies is especially pleased to see many Amish families enjoying the museum on Sundays. Exposed to art at an early age, and appreciative of open air art settings that can be less intimidating than some more formal indoor settings, Nies is happy to share his passion.

And what do you do with crushed glass from wine and beer bottles, windows and even broken drinking glasses? “Bucket loads” of the glass were collected over a half year from The Inn at Honey Run and crafted into hundreds of glass disks. The circular pieces were attached to a welded steel structure creating Around the Bend, that some viewers say reminds them of a hurricane or twisted tree.

â&#x20AC;&#x201C;FAITH & SO CIAL DISTANCINGâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; Worship Challenges Facing Religious Organizations

T H E OU T B R E A K of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 changed life as people know it. In the wake of the outbreak, hundreds of millions of people across the globe were forced to change how they work, how they spend their free time and even how they eat their meals as social distancing measures were enacted in an effort to stop the spread of a virus that, by late-March 2020, had already claimed the lives of thousands of people. Seemingly no aspect of life was unaffected by social distancing measures, including how people celebrate their faith. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, many religious organizations were forced to reconsider how they interact with their congregants. For example, in recognition of changes within the religious realm prompted by the COVID-19 outbreak, the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism provided a free list of tools and resources (www.uscj. org/synagogue-resources) to help synagogues operate more effectively. Similarly, in accordance with an executive order from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo limiting social gatherings, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany canceled all public liturgies, but also

announced measures to livestream Masses and even provided a schedule of those masses through its website (www.rcda.org/livemass). Livestream religious services allow people of faith to continue to celebrate their faith. Such services also provide access to non-members who might nonetheless be looking for guidance during a time that is unlike any many people alive today have ever experienced. The uplifting messages offered at religious services can help people confront and overcome feelings like depression and anxiety, which the American Psychological Association notes researchers have linked to social distancing. Being part of a community, even if that community is operating exclusively online, can provide a lift to those struggling with the potentially isolating consequences of social distancing. People interested in engaging in faith-based services and programs while social distancing are urged to contact a local religious organization to see how it is providing spiritual guidance during this unique time.

–UPCYCLING WOOD–

Pallet Projects Can Be A Handy Hobby

RIGHT: Do-it-yourselfers can skip purchasing wood boards and upcycle wood pallets instead, to make products like these stylish lawn chairs.

IN RECENT YEARS, the trend of 'upcycling,' or transforming unneeded or unwanted materials into new items or products, has become more popular. Unlike recycling, which is taking consumer materials like plastic, paper, metal, and glass and breaking them down so base materials can be remade into new, lowerquality consumer products, upcycling produces items of a higher quality than the original materials. Wood pallet projects are an excellent example of upcycling. Such projects involve taking wood pallets, which tend to be used to stack, move and store stock, and turning them into amazing wood products. Often 12

free for the taking, pallet wood has become a popular building material for do-it-yourselfers. This rustic wood already has an aged look and decorative appeal. Pallets are often made from leftover wood, and using them anew is an eco-friendly endeavor that can add flair to any project. The following are just a handful of pallet project ideas.

• Christmas trees: Start thinking ahead to the holiday season. Cut pallet planks into sizes that incrementally get larger and attach to form a triangular Christmas tree shape. Decorate with paint or other accents, and don’t forget to place a star on top.

• Outdoor table: Top a disused table with pallet

boards nailed or screwed to the top. Stain or clear coat them, and the result is a brand new table for gardening use or outdoor entertaining.

• Platform bed: Pallets can be sanded, painted and placed to form the base of a platform bed. Utilize more pallets to serve as a headboard attached to the wall or bed frame.

• Pallet planter: Make a planter box as big or as small

as you like to grow flowers, vegetables or herbs. A narrow planter also can be hung on a wall to add flair to spaces indoors or outside.

• Swing chair: A pallet, a supportive back and some cushions can be used to make a swing that is fastened to the ceiling of a porch or even a tree.

• Bench: Make a pallet bench that can be crafted childor adult-sized. Use it inside the house or outdoors on a patio.

• Garbage container: Instead of generic plastic garbage pails, make a pallet kitchen garbage container that has rustic appeal. • Backsplash: Give a kitchen some rustic appeal with a pallet backsplash. Cut boards into desired lengths and stagger on the wall. Leave the wood raw or seal it for protection against moisture. Pallet wood can be transformed into many different projects, helping do-it-yourselfers stay busy at minimal cost. Go online to search for plans for building an array of pallet projects. FH208145

• Wine rack: Turn pallet wood into a wine rack that also has a space to store wine glasses below it.

RICH, CREAMY and decadent, cheesecake is enjoyed across the globe. There are many famous cheesecake bakeries in North America, and those who can’t resist digging their forks into this beloved dessert may assume that cheesecake traces its origins there. In fact, cheesecake traces its origins to the ancient Greeks.

The first “cheesecake” is believed to have been created from a ricotta-type cheese base on the Greek island of Samos. Excavated cheese molds were found there that dated to around 2,000 B.C. Cheesecake was considered a good source of energy and there is evidence that even Olympic athletes were fed cheesecake during the first games. Greek brides and grooms also were known to rely on cheesecake as their cake of choice for weddings. Original cheesecakes were made from flour, wheat, honey, and cheese, then formed and baked, according to Cheesecake.com. After the Roman conquest of Greece, cheesecake was adopted by the Romans. Their name for this type of cake was “placenta” and it was baked on a pastry base or sometimes inside of a pastry case, advises What’s Cooking America. Cheesecakes also were called “libum” by the Romans, and were used as an offering at the gods’ temples. Cheesecakes also were introduced to other areas of Europe thanks to conquering Roman armies. By 1,000 A.D., cheesecake could be found throughout northwestern Europe, England and Scandinavia. Through the years, cheesecake’s popularity spread elsewhere. However, New Yorkers say that cheesecake was not really cheesecake until it got an Empire State makeover in the 1900s. Many New York restaurants have their own versions of cheesecake, with Turf Restaurant laying claim to the first cream cheesebased cheesecake recipe in 1929. New York dairy man William Lawrence accidentally invented cream cheese in 1872 while trying to recreate a soft, French cheese known as Neufchâtel. Little did Lawrence know that this mistake would inadvertently revolutionize cheesecake recipes.

Cheesecake technically is a pie and not a cake, and there are versions that are baked and others that firm up in the refrigerator without having to cook a custard base. Many cheesecake afficionados have a favorite cheesecake recipe. However, this classic and iconic New York cheesecake, courtesy of Philadelphia Cream Cheese brand, is an ideal one to make your own.

New York Cheesecake • 11⁄4 cups graham crumbs • 1⁄4 cup butter, melted • 5 packages (250g each) Philadelphia Brick Cream Cheese, softened • 1 cup sugar • 3 tablespoons flour • 1 tablespoon vanilla • 1 cup sour cream • 4 eggs • 1 can (19 fl. oz) cherry pie filling

of pan. Bake 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 325 F if using a silver 9-inch springform pan (or to 300 F if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Mix crumbs and butter; press firmly onto bottom

Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add sour cream; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust. Bake for 1 hour and10 minutes, or until center is almost set. Run a knife or metal spatula around the rim of the pan to loosen cake; cool before removing the rim of the pan. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Top with pie filling before serving. Store leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator. TF207120

â&#x20AC;&#x201C;FROM THE DESK OF JAVONâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; Who Are These People? (Part 13) Submitted by Javon M iller | Amish Heartland Contributor

"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." J A MES 4 : 8

WE ARE living in a fallen world. We do not want to deny our own sinful nature. Unless we are regenerated by the Blood of Jesus, we are all in a sinful state. 20

2 Corinthians 6:14-17, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath August

light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out

This is the bride of Christ. He is eagerly anticipating the day that He will be reunited with "her". We must do what needs to be done to stay unspotted, like as a bride keeps herself pure for her husband.

from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,"

Here the Apostle Paul was addressing the church to keep themselves spotless. To accomplish this we need to have a clear separation of good and evil. Wise Solomon said, "Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?" Proverbs 6:27-28 So why should we wish to have unrighteousness be a part of our spiritual fellowship?

1 Corinthians 5:7-8, "Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither

with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."

This practice of shunning is too often viewed as an unkind method of church discipline. If viewed from the aspect of keeping the bride of Christ pure, is it truly unnecessary? If a groom found out that his bride-to-be was having affairs with other men, would he feel that he could follow through with the wedding? We need to view the church in from perspective. The church of today is the bride of Christ.

Revelation 21:9-10, "Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God." Amish Heartland

Article 17 The Shunning Of Those Who Are Expelled As regards to the withdrawing from, or the shunning of, those who are expelled, we believe and confess, that if anyone, whether it be through a wicked life or perverse doctrines so far fallen as to be separated from God, and consequently rebuked by, and expelled from, the church, he must also, according to the doctrine of Christ and His apostles, be shunned and avoided by all the members of the church (particularly by those to whom his misdeeds are known), whether it be in eating or drinking, or other such like social matters. In short, that we are to have nothing to do with him; so that we may not become defiled by intercourse with him, and partakers of his sins; but that he may be made ashamed, be affected in his mind, convinced in his conscience, and thereby induced to amend his ways. 22

1 Corinthians 5:9-11, "I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. August

Romans 16:17, "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them."

2 Thessalonians 3: 14, "And if any man obey not the word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed."

Titus 3:10-11, "A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself."

That nevertheless, as well in shunning as in reproving such offender, such moderation and Christian discretion be used, that such shunning and reproof may not be conducive to his ruin, but be serviceable to his amendment. For should he be in need, hungry, thirsty, naked, sick, or visited by some other affliction, we are in duty bound, according to the doctrine and practice of Christ and His apostles, to render him aid and assistance as necessity may require; otherwise the shunning of him might be rather conducive to his ruin than to his amendment.

1 Thessalonians 5:4. "Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort them that are feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men."

Therefore we must not treat such offenders as enemies, but exhort them as brethren, in order thereby to bring them to a knowledge of their sins and to repentance; so that they may again become reconciled to God and the church, and be received and admitted into the same; thus exercising love toward them as is becoming.

2 Thessalonians 3:15, "Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

***End of Article*** With these scriptures, we can conclude that discipline is needed to keep the church pure. However, it needs to be done in a loving manner with the ultimate goal to bring the erring members back into the fold. Shunning has been misused in the past, I am aware. However, it is still a doctrine found in the Bible that needs to be used. If properly administrated, it will be effective. It will

show the erring ones that the brethren of the church are concerned and wish to come back into fellowship with them. To often though, the hardness of the heart causes bitterness to rear its ugly head.

1 John 3:13-16, "Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."

There is a huge responsibility on all members of the church when we are exercising church discipline, it is a time to check our personal "files."

emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Or are we filled with, "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another." Galatians 5 19-26. ''Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Galatians 6:1

Are we filled with, "the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,

With these scriptures, we can conclude that discipline is needed to keep the church pure. However, it needs to be done in a loving manner with the ultimate goal to bring the erring members back into the fold.
