WRITER Talk about statistical oddities. The wild-card round of the NR. playoffs this weekend has all four road teams as favorites. That's about the same number of road favorites there have been in playoff games this. decade. The odds reflect what a strange season it's been. There are wild-card teams clearly better than the winners of weak divisiooS, and even non-playoff teams in that category: New England is only the second ll-5 ·team to miss the postseason. That's because of the odd way the divisions broke down this season. 1be NFC East and NFC South, for example, didn't have a team finish under .500; the AFC West wa5 won at 8-8; and the NFC West by ·an Arizona team that was 6-0 inside the division, but 3-7 outside it.

Three of West Virginia's losses came by a combined to points and two of them were in overtime. Then again, close wins over Rutgers, Syracuse,.

I experienced this lesser form of change when moving out of Meigs County to begin my new appointment in the Toledo area. It was a kind of "death" for me as my ministry focus changed. In many ways, it was a bit like dying, knowing there are many whom I will prob· ably never see again. I learned this fall about one of those from Racine whom I will never see again, Homer ..Proffitt. Homer was one of the fi'rst people to come by, the hou se when I· moved to Racine, and I think he was the last person I saw just before driving away with a packed car on my ·way to Perrysburg . He was a gentle man who liked to talk, and talk, and talk . I enjoyed our conversations, and I will miss him. With our move to Perrysbuq;. we began new relationshtps with people in that congregation and community. One individual, in particular, stood out. Terry was married to the director of children 's ministry at the church, a dedicated volunteer in youth ministry, and a talented singer on the praise team. Terry's life came to a sudden and unexpected end following a stroke in early December. · He had grown close to both of my younger chil· dren as ~art of the summer youth m1ssion trips, so this death was particularly hard for them , too. Death is a part of life. It's inevitable. But that doesn't make it any easier to take. In fact , I think it is the hardest thing to deal with in ·an of life. We can lose jobs, money, houses, cars, but those are just things . Things can be replaced; people cannot. Once a per· son is gone, 'there is no retrieving him or her. , Death tempts us to lose hope. Our pain in losing loved ones can be over· Friday, January 2, 2009 ' Reflections on the year that was In a lot of ways, I couldn't wait to see 2008 put behind me·. If I were to sum up the past year in one word, this would be it: Death . I don't, mean lo sound morbid, but that is what I experienced too ma~y times la§t year. Ftrst, both of my wife 's - ~randmothers passed away lR the spnng, within four weeks .of one another. That meant two almost-back-toback trips to Texas. The' first . time , we . drove straight through in . both directions. It just about killed me. In between those deaths, we lost a dear saint in the Racine United Methodist Church: Lois Bell. Lois was an incredible woman in more ways than can be described. When her end came near, I w~s the one to tell her that her life was almost gone. I will never forget the look on · her face as I explained to her that her kidneys had failed and there was nothing more the doctors could do. 'Lois had a momentary look of fear and sadness, but almost imme· diately her face cleared and became peaceful. She understood, and she had complete confidence that she was going on to a better place. , In May, the entire Meigs County community was shocked by the deaths of Julie and Julia Campbell. I had never anticipated having to deal pastorally with a murder-suicide in my congregation. It was an extreme . challenge for many of us Jo reconcile our experience of "happy Julie" wtth the kind of depression from which she must have suffered lo make her decisions that ended two lives. The personal shocks of unexpected del!ths did not end the~;e. My wife and I learned in June thai a family who had been dear to us back in Texas had been killed. in a freak automobile accident - on their way home from church, no less. A car·travelling more than 100 miles-per-hour ran a red light and creamed 'into the Harts' van at window level. The Harts, their daughter and two foster daughters, were killed instantly. Death is .the end of one .stage in life, and the begin-· ning of another. Sometimes Stlnn\!Ute Communily Cllurdl . SWlday Sc~IIO. OO am. Sunday Worship 11:00 am.

Sometimes we can even fool ourselves so complete· ly that we DON'T feel - at least consciously. But the pain is still there - waiting to teII us there is no hope. But Jesus Christ tells us something different. He tells us that death is not the end - no matter how painful it may be . Yes, we cannot get our loved ones back; bul that does not mean they are lost from us forever: There is another side of death: resurrection. · Jesus Christ is called the "first born from the . dead" in Colossian"s I: 18. Hi s resurrection offers us encouragement and 'hope. If He is the first born, and we are. adofted as heirs and children o God, then we. too , can experience resur· rection. Death isn't the end; it's a new beginning. The Apostle Paul talked about this hope : "Wht> shall separate us from the Jove of Christ? Shall trouble, or hardship,. or. persecution, or famine, or nakedness , or danger, or sword? No, in all these things we are more th!ln conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any pow· ers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation , will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. our Lord." ' So as 2008 is laid to rest , I pray that 2009 may be a time for new beginnings, new assurances that we are not separated from God by anything or anyone.
