Inside this issue:
Many years ago my father had cat-
aract surgery. When Natalia and I
were in the waiting room, my fa-
ther came out with a patch cover-
ing his eye. He looked like death
warmed over. Natalia came up to
him. She held his large hand with
her little hand and said, "Grandpa,
the good thing is at least you can
speak."
This true story reminds me of an-
other story by Kent Crockett. He
writes:
“My father had to undergo radia-
tion treatments for throat cancer.
The therapy damaged his taste
buds so that he couldn’t taste food.
His inability to enjoy a meal made
eating a dreaded duty. The doctors
told him his taste might return af-
ter the treatments were finished,
but no one could say for certain.
Weeks passed, then months. Eve-
ry meal became a forced feeding to
keep him alive. After eating flavor-
less food for over a year, he sat
down for dinner one evening. Re-
luctantly, he forced the fork inside
his mouth and discovered that his
taste had returned. What most peo-
November 2013
ple would call a bland dinner became the
best meal he had eaten in his life.
Through losing his taste and then regain-
ing it, my father learned to relish each
morsel as never before. He became thank-
ful for the ability to taste because he now
had a reference point. He would never
forget what it was like to eat tasteless
food.
You don’t have to lose something in order
to be thankful. You can develop a “taste”
for your blessings by simply realizing
what life would be like without
them.” (Kent Crockett, I Once Was Blind
But Now I Squint).
We all need a reference point. Jesus
spoke about taking a look at the lilies and
sparrows in Matthew 6. Bob Dylan sang,
"How many times must a man look up,
before he can see the sky?" and my Dad
heeded to the words of a child, realizing
there were other things to be thankful for
at that moment.
I hope this Thanksgiving season you may
have a reference point and that you will
be able to give thanks for the blessings
you have now. They are many. Can you
count them?
Peace,
- Pastor Javier Olivares

Lay Leader’s Corner
How inspiring it has been during October to learn about so many saints
from all over the world and from so many eras. Thank you, Pastor Javier,
for bringing them to our attention. It has also been inspiring to read the
many names of saints on the table in our church narthex. In the United
Methodist Church, All Saints' Day is observed on the first Sunday in No-
vember to remember deceased members of the local church congregation.
A candle is often lit as each person's name is called out, followed by a
prayer offered for each soul. I believe it is also proper and meaningful to
recognize present living saints.
One such living saint is Betty Gale. Most of you remember when she and
her husband Dick lived in Payson and were active members at PUMC.
Betty, retired from nursing and teaching at Arizona State University in Tempe, worked tirelessly to
get our Health Ministries Committee organized and a Parish Nurse program established. I remem-
ber the hours she spent applying for grants, getting congregation support, hosting fundraisers, and
volunteering as our first Parish Nurse. Betty was calm, patient, caring, and loving. She developed
an instant repartee with those in our congregation who needed the resources she could give. Betty
also promoted Reiki, a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing.
It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy"
flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. Michele Montbleau and Jennifer Hinkie continue
this ministry. Thank you, Betty. And thank you Michele and Jennifer.
I invite you all take a moment this All Saints’ Day and thank all of the persons you know who are liv-
ing saints. It will “make their day!”
Love in Christ,
Chris
Betty’s leadership as a role model brings me to another saint
I want to recognize and she is Marilyn Malles-Simons, our
current Parish Nurse. Marilyn with her soft calm voice rein-
forces the strong tie between faith and health. She makes
many personal visits and phone calls to the members of our
congregation, provides educational programs , assists with
blood pressure Sundays and is an advocate in assisting con-
gregation members in finding their way through healthcare
systems. Busy caring for her own husband Maurice, Marilyn
goes out of her way to share her love with so many others.
Thank you Marilyn.
Season of Saints
There has been a white cloth in the Narthex for several weeks and many have written the name of a
person whom they consider has been a saint in their life. On November 3, ALL SAINTS SUNDAY,
that cloth will be on the altar. Those saints in our lives will also be recognized during both services.

BOOK TALK
Alone and Invisible No More: How grassroots Community Action and 21st Century Technol-
ogies Can Empower Elders to Stay in Their Homes and Lead Healthier, Happier Lives by
Allen S. Teel Alone and Invisible No More describes how to overhaul our eldercare system, based on
physician Allen S. Teel’s own efforts to create humane, affordable alternatives in Maine. Dr. Teel’s
program harnesses both staff and volunteers to help people remain in their homes and communities.
The program offers assistance with everyday challenges and uses technology to keep older people con-
nected with one another and their families and to stay safe. You will find this 2013 book on the Unit-
ed Methodist Women’s library shelf under the section Nurturing for Community.

From the Pastor’s Dog
Hello mis amigos! I haf a few stories to tell yu! I went to Mexico during fall break and I saw mi moder
and seester. Mi seester Chikita, was bery sad and
crying, so I trai to cheer herr up by singing:
♫Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by mister charro
In your eyes I see, you ate that small sparrow
How I hate to see you like dis
Der is no way you can deny it
I can see your fat and you desperately need a diet♫
♫Chiquitita, tell me de truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I'm de only broder left on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you've broken a window
I hope we can patch it up together♫
♫Chiquitita, you and I know
How de dumb cats come and they go and de scars
they're leaving
You'll be dancing zumba again and de pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But de sun is still in de sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita♫
♫So de kitchen table came down
And you had a wonderful banquet
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me de truth
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that your fat, and you desperately need a
diet♫
Well, I hope my seester Chikita learns her lesson.
Anyway I had a guud time drinking mescal, pulque,
tejuino and eating tacos. I saw some of my gerl-
friends and some puppies who were chanting “papa”,
but I didn’t understand what dey meant, I told dem,
“Me no speeko espanol.” Anyway I came back to de
U.S. and I’m releeved to be here. I have to go back in
Nobember to lead a work team from dis church and
be deir translator. Dey are payin me 3 steaks and a
bag of reward bones.
Regarding de Olivares, Natalia ees ending her
marching season and I guess ees ready for some
break, she has work so hard. Esteban also is ending
soccer, but both will continue with der instruments
and da tees horrible for me, becos I have to listen to
all der playing.
Anyway I conclude weeth a sad note. I was happily
strolling along Obregon avenue and suddenly bump
into an old girlfriend I loved bery much. I didn’t
know what to do and all I could tink of was of de
song:
♫I don't wanna talk
About things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now eet's history
I've played all mi cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play♫
♫The weiner takes it all
The loser's standing small
Beside de victory
That's his destiny♫
♫The masters may throw de dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The greyhound takes it all
The chihuahua has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain?♫
♫I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my paw
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The weiner takes it all
The weiner takes it all...♫
Yea, it was a greyhound who took my love. Well, as
dey say een Spanish, “ya ni llorar es bueno.”

New Welcoming Team To Be Led by Jo Chavez
Twelve enthusiastic persons met at the home of Jo and Rio Chavez October 26 to brainstorm ways for Payson United
Methodist Church to be a more welcoming church. Members of the new team were selected because they seemed to have
a bubbly personality, showed ease in talking with people, displayed a gift of hospitality and expressed concern for the
growth of our church. The team “kick-off” celebration discussed the foundations for this important ministry, how to
reach out an make each person feel welcome and how to follow up with those we have met. We also discussed how to
reach out in the community when we are at a restaurant or out shopping. Numerous goals were set.
If you missed this event and want to participate, contact Jo Chavez at 928-978-2580. The vision is outgoing action and
not sitting in meetings!

We are starting Advent sooner this year, November 17.
Below is an explanation from Taylor Burton-Edwards:
We've all seen and lived the pattern. Christmas Eve services are a huge cele-
bration, bringing in folks we may rarely see at any other time of the year. On
Christmas Day, we may be lucky to fill the choir area. The Sunday after
Christmas is also typically a low Sunday because many regulars may be visit-
ing elsewhere if they attend worship at all. The Sunday after that is the cele-
bration of Epiphany, which marks the end of Christmastide and is also typical-
ly a "low Sunday," one last chance for a weekend off before school and work
routines resume.
Thus, while the church calendar has offered a full twelve days to celebrate and ponder the mystery of the
Incarnation, the real church calendar (what we actually do with this time in our congregations) may of-
fer perhaps just a single night with any intentionality or intensity.
Clearly, the official church calendar and the real church calendar are out of sync with each other. With
perhaps few exceptions, I see no easy way for individual congregations to get them back in sync, at least
not in North American culture.
Something's got to give. Either individual congregations need to become far more insistent on giving
these days at this time of the year more serious attention and find ways to get their members to do like-
wise, or the culture has got to give the church these days back again.
The culture has no reason to budge. I think we know that. It is thoroughly invested in investing us in
end-of-the-year retail and travel activities. It has no incentive to back off, and it has every financial in-
centive to push its agendas even harder.
And I think we know most of our congregations aren't going to change, either. We lack the influence,
even with our most committed members, to convert their probably already scheduled social, family, and
travel plans toward the celebration and contemplation of the mystery of the Incarnation during these
days. Push too hard in this direction, and you might expect attendance during Christmastide to go even
lower.
So if we can't change the culture, and we're unlikely to change the schedules and "winter break" patterns
of our own members, how will we be able to carve out some time actually to celebrate and contemplate
the mystery of the Incarnation? How do we find the time and give the observance of Christmastide the
level of attention and meaning it deserves?
A Congregational Solution
One answer is related to the one perhaps most commonly practiced by North American Protestants gen-
erally: carve the two weeks leading up to Christmas out of Advent and use those days to celebrate
Christmas. It's not at all uncommon for congregations to start singing Christmas hymns by mid-
December at the latest. It's also fairly common for congregations to schedule a variety of Christmas-
related special events during those weeks. These may include services of Lessons and Carols, cantatas,
Christmas parties, or caroling at nursing homes or other locations, all prior to Christmas itself. The cul-
ture at large in North America seems to endorse such "early celebration" as well. After all, Christmas
themed commercials, displays, and "store-wide specials" start appearing nearly everywhere here just af-
ter Halloween!
(continued on next page)
PAGE 10 RIM REFLECTIONS VOLUME 1 , I SSUE 11
There are two significant problems with that approach, though neither is nec-
essarily fatal. One is that it's so easy to correlate our Christmas celebrations
with the height of shopping and pre-Christmas party frenzy that we may in
fact be more occupied by shopping and pre-Christmas parties than celebrating
and pondering the mystery of the Incarnation. We could try to be more inten-
tional about this in preaching, teaching, and supportive tweets, texts, or Face-
book posts to one another, but we have to admit that the culture's competition
for our attention is at its fiercest in those two weeks.
But perhaps part of what makes that competition as fierce as it feels is that
we know it's not yet Christmas, so we don't really need to focus on the Incar-
nation until it actually is Christmas.
Here's where some re-Thinking—and re-scheduling -- might help.
What if we actually begin Christmastide, full blast, two weeks earlier? And what if we start it, not with
the Luke story, but Matthew's story of the magi we typically read at Epiphany. Use the readings for the
first Sunday after Christmas the following Sunday (The Magi story, Part 2, in Year A). On Christmas
Eve, which may have the highest attendance, use the readings for the third service of Christmas Day
(John 1). And for Christmas morning, use the story of the shepherds in Luke 2.
So what do you do with the readings for Advent 3 and 4? In most years, including 2013, there is a Sun-
day after Christmas plus another Sunday before Baptism of the Lord (the first Sunday after January 6).
So put the readings for Advent 3 on the First Sunday after Christmas, and the readings for Advent 4 on
the second.
If we move Christmastide back to mid-December, we also need to move Advent back to mid-November,
lest we lose our equal need to focus on the culmination of all things in the second coming of Christ.
Changing when you begin Advent and Christmastide locally doesn't change when Advent is, officially,
for The United Methodist Church or anyone else. For The United Methodist Church, only General Con-
ference can alter our liturgical calendar, and there were no proposals for such a change in 2012. Frankly,
I would find it hard to imagine us approving any such official changes in 2016, even if they were pro-
posed.
