THE FOURTH WATCHWWW. PMCHURCH.T V
“Hopium” is a word someone coined to describe the opium-
like addiction we humans have to hear what we want to hear, discarding evidence that challenges our hopes. Financial analyst Tim Aka, in his new book End Game Economics (which I examined in my previous blog), puts it this way: “We are addicted to this ‘hopium’ as some have called it. The truth [about an impending economic collapse despite surface appearances to the contrary] is unpalatable and the transformations needed are far too painful for most to consider. And so for now, ignorance is bliss, until a massive reality check [is] imposed on the hopium junkies” (39).
Are we, too, addicted to “hopium,” hoping against hope that we’ll turn the corner somehow and “happy days” will be here again? At what point does such hopeful optimism become destructive naivety?

“I WILL DO A NEW THING”THE HOT WATER BOTTLE
This story from the Internet was written by a doctor who worked in
Central Africa, and has been edited for space.
“One night in the labor ward I delivered a baby; but in spite of all we did, the mother died, leaving us with a tiny, premature baby and a two-year-old daughter. With no incubator or electricity, a student midwife went to start a fire because our last hot water bottle had burst. The student held the baby near the fire all night.
“The following noon, I went to pray with the orphanage children. I told them about the baby, the broken hot water bottle, the two-year-old sister, and that the baby could die. During prayer, ten-year-old Ruth prayed, ‘Please God, send us a hot water bottle today. God, it will do no good tomorrow as the baby will die, so please send it this afternoon.’ Then she added, ‘And would You please send a dolly for the little girl so she’ll know You really love her?’ I was put on the spot, I just did not believe that God could do this. Oh, yes, I know that He can do everything, But aren’t there limits? I had been in Africa for almost four years, and had never received a package, let alone a hot water bottle.
Midafternoon, a message came that there was a package at my front door. There on the porch was a large 22-pound box. Suspecting that God was working, I sent for the
orphanage children and unpacking the box. Out came clothing, bandages, and a box of raisins.
Putting my hand in again—could it really be? Yes! A brand-new, hot water bottle. Ruth rushed forward crying out, ‘If God sent the bottle, He must have sent the dolly, too!’ Reaching to the bottom of the box, she pulled out a small, beautifully-dressed dolly. Looking at me, she asked, ‘Can I go over with you and give this dolly to that little girl, so she’ll know that Jesus loves her?’
I had not asked God to send it, nor believed He could. But that box was mailed five months previously and packed by someone who had heard God’s voice to send a hot water bottle and a doll. This was God’s answer to the believing prayer of a ten-year-old to ‘send it this afternoon.’ –Dennis Hollingsead
“Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I
will hear.”ISAIAH 65:24 NIV

PRAYThat we raise the funds needed for our
trip to the International Camporee

PMC Evergreens First Place! Those were the words that our Pathfinder
Bible Experience team (PBE) heard on April 12 at the PBE 2014 Division Finals in Washington, DC. The team was happy, the coaches were happy, and all of us were very proud of their achievement. However, the best blessing was the fact that a group of young people spent months hiding God’s word in their hearts. If funds allow, we hope to increase our PBE program next year!
The 2013/14 Pathfinder year has flown by so fast and we are wrapping up the last few weeks with the Pathfinder Fair at Camp Au Sable and with Investiture. One of our highlights during the year was at Camporee in October when a number of Pathfinders
requested baptism. They have now completed their studies and are ready to take the final step.
Our club is not slowing down this summer. We continue to plan for the International Pathfinder Camporee at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in August. On June 8 we will be holding a Bike/Walk-A-Thon to raise the last $10,000 needed for the trip.
Thank you for your encouragement this year. We are truly grateful for your generous donations, for community service projects for the kids, and for your many prayers for us. Our Pathfinder Club could not exist without your support.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
THANKGod for life-changing experiences
for our teens
MORE INFORobert Overstreet / 471.3148
This spring our Physical Education Department sponsored a
mountain biking trip to Big South Fork National Recreation Area in Tennessee. Twenty-two students and two faculty sponsors enjoyed the 8-day event. As one biker commented, “It was a cold and wet week but it was the best week of the school year.”
Removing teens from the constant stream of technology may be one of the only ways to quiet their minds and prepare their hearts for God’s voice. The mountain biking excursion provided this important, back-to-nature experience. When Jesus wanted to meditate and pray, he found a quiet place, tucked away in a natural
setting. In Acts of the Apostles (pg. 180) Ellen G. White recalls the apostle’s efforts to impact people’s lives with the knowledge of God the Creator: “They first directed attention to the wonderful works of God—the sun, the moon, and the stars, the beautiful order of the recurring seasons, the mighty snowcapped mountains [or in this case the Smoky Mountains], and other varied wonders of nature, which showed a skill beyond human comprehension.”
This year’s trip had special significance since it was Mr. John Reichert’s last Smoky Mountain trip with Andrews Academy. Students thanked Mr. Reichert during recent chapels by giving him a standing ovation. Some of his biking students also presented him with a framed picture of their group in the Smokies. Words of appreciation were written around the matted frame.

The blockbuster movie “Noah,” though a far cry from biblical, historical and spiritual reality, has at least branded our secular culture’s psyche with the notion that civilization as we know it can cataclysmically end. Prophets of doom abound in the blogosphere, and warning voices could be suddenly proven right.
My point is that perhaps God’s people—those who seek to live by radical faith and trust in their Creator—ought to take seriously the mounting warnings from economists who have chosen not to play to the press. Maybe it’s time to heed the warning of our Lord: “‘As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man’” (Matthew 24:37). “Up to the day Noah entered the ark,” Jesus cautioned, people were eating and drinking, partying and building. If there had been a stock market, it perhaps like ours would be going through the roof right about now. Just before the collapse. Just before “sudden destruction comes on them . . . and they shall not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3).
So it seems fair to ask: Should the friends of Jesus be plunging into significant financial debt today? Shouldn’t we who have lived from day to day, from debt to debt, begin to undertake serious efforts to be relieved of that indebtedness? Is the time rapidly approaching when those with discretionary income and more than adequate savings consider investing more substantially and sacrificially in the mission of Christ? While money is still of value? No one,
of course, can tell you or me what to do with the little we have. But surely there will come a time when our hearts will tell us the truth, while there is still time.
A century ago came this encouragement: “God Himself originates the plans for the advancement of His work, and He has provided His people with a surplus of means, that when He calls for help, they may cheerfully respond. If they will be faithful in bringing to His treasury the means lent them, His work will make rapid advancement. Many souls will be won to the truth, and the day of Christ’s coming will be hastened”(The Review and Herald, July 14, 1904).
No “hopium” there—just the blessed hope of that glorious day—and who doesn’t want that day to be hastened?

MUSIC ALIVEWELLSPRING
The thought of “wellspring” occurs twice in worship today. The harp
solo “La Source” is rendered in English as “The Wellspring” or, literally, “The Source.” It would be hard to miss the infectious, frothy flow springing out in this music. It has many characteristics that render its sound as stereotypically harp-like. “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee” has a melody adapted from the ninth symphony by Ludwig van
Beethoven (Van Dyke’s English words are added). As an introduction to this climactic melody, Beethoven reintroduces—and rejects—various fragments of what has come before. In the hymn version Henry van Dyke’s words include this joyous use of “wellspring”: “Thou art giving and forgiving, / Ever blessing, ever blest, / Wellspring of the joy of living, / Ocean-depth of happy rest!”
PRESIDING PASTOR: Sharon Terrell; ORGANIST: Kenneth LoganWORSHIP IN MUSIC: Rachel Miller, harp
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and who-ever sows generously will also reap generously.
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;their righteousness endures forever.”

SEASONAL ALLERGIESAre you sneezing, scratching your eyes, and coughing? You’re most likely suffering from this year’s overabundance of mold, pollen, and other air irritants. The long winter weather will make this year’s allergy indexes the highest we’ve seen in a while. Prepare yourself for the worst so you can be your best. Here are a few tips to keep you doing what you love doing outside.
1) Get to an allergist. They can see what you are allergic to and help treat the symptoms correctly. 2) Allergy counts are the highest during the midday hours. If possible avoid these times to decrease allergy symptoms. 3) Irrigate your sinuses with a Neti Pot. This will help flush out the allergens already in your nasal passages. (Note: The water needs to be sterilized and warmed to body temperature before use.) 4) Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Coughing can leave your throat sore and dry.
