“ Our Favorite Attitude should be Gratitude ”
Trinity Book Group
On May 2nd at 9:30 the TLC book group will discuss a very Lutheran book , Dreams of My Mothers : A Story of Love Transcendent by Joel L . A . Peterson . This is a fictionalized version of the author ’ s own life as a biracial child , first in his birth country of Korea , and then in his adoptive country of the US
Pastor Paul will join us in June when we discuss A Mother ’ s Reckoning : Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy by Sue Klebold , the mother of one of the Columbine shooters . As a mother , she tries to come to terms with the incomprehensible in the hopes of helping other families recognize when a child is in distress .

A Note from Pastor Paul
“ Our Favorite Attitude should be Gratitude ”
The above quote from Zig Ziglar , a motivational speaker , should describe us as we go about our lives . Yes , it ’ s sometimes hard but such an approach to life even in our difficult times brings peace and tranquility . When we really concentrate on who we are as children God and that our times are in his hands gratitude is easier to come by .
Our sympathies are expressed to Marilyn Helmreich and her family on the death of Bob . We remember Shirley Linton ' s family as she has passed to the church triumphant . Both of these persons were faithful members of Trinity . Shirley was confined to Centre Rehab for several years . Bob died at Lemay Rehab after a year of working with pancreatic cancer .
Ken Oakleaf continues at Lemay . He suffered a slight stroke about a month ago . Inez Greisen and Bev Bainer are holding down the fort at Mercer . Elaine Nielsen moved from home to the new part of Mercer about a month ago but has suffered with some issues of aging and is at Center Rehab . Jerry Jungmeyer has changed locations and is at the Rehab Center just North of PVH .
Lou Stitzel continues her journey at Golden Peaks as does Irene Pearson . Frieda Alsleben continues at home with help . Irene Ekblad is in Loveland Good Samaritan . Bob and Martha Strohman are doing ok at home and do not get out . Such is the case with Helen and Jim Waag .
I don ' t have my list in front of me so there may be others I have visited in pre-Easter who escape my memory at the moment . This is written on April 15 .... which Natalie says is the deadline for May ..... so things may have changed by the time you get this . Our thanks to Natalie for putting together a fine Tidings for Trinity .
