With sadness and hope
It is with sadness and hope that we convey to you that Jillian Lilies, a long time member of the Bridge, passed away this last weekend. She had been struggling with the rejection of a pancreas after a transplant and also other physical ailments. Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Thursday, June 25, 2009, at Boone Funeral Home East Chapel, 5330 Washington Avenue, with Stephen Rogers, Minister officiating. Burial will be in Memorial Park Cemetery.
Tim James shares the following thoughts...
I remember the last Bridge meeting I was at with Jillian, and we were discussing how in general, people tend to have a fear of death and discourage talking honestly and openly about its reality. But Jillian spoke about not having a fear of death anymore, and having a hope for the peace, joy, and release from pain that would come. This discussion somewhat stemmed from Hebrews 2:15 where it is stated that Christ came to free those held prisoner by the fear of death.
We also spoke of how when she would speak to doctors or other people that she didn't fear death, and even welcomed the transition, it wasn't always a comfortable discussion for everyone... doctors would speak on what they could do to help her, and discourage talk of death.
But Jillian knew death would only be a new beginning for her. She felt free of fear while living in pain. Now she is free of pain and living in a Peace and Love beyond my understanding.
Tim James
Hebrews 2:14-15
14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

New Book: Hebrews
We have started a new Bible Study at the Bridge. We are now studying Hebrews and you can join us online if you'd like. Just follow along here at the Joyful Heart Ministries Website. This is an opportunity for Kindra and Thea, two of our overseas missionaries to be a part of the study as well. (If they have time in their busy lives!) We just finished up Lesson 2 last night, and next week we will be studying Lesson 3. As a reminder we've been meeting at Panera for dinner around 6:30, and we start the Bible Study at Shawnee Church at 7:15.

Weakness = Strength
Those of you who were able to attend our fall retreat this year will remember an exercise we did in sensory deprivation. We took turns leading and being led through the woods and along the walking trails at Tall Oaks while we experienced the loss of one of our senses. A blindfold would take away sight, ear plugs would make you deaf, and we walked around to see how these changed our perception of nature. Some people commented on the way the leaves and branches felt underfoot, or how the colors stood out when you couldn't hear anything. Some of us tried to be independent while temporarily disabled, others found ways to overcome the disability. In fact Barrett encouraged us to think of them as "upgrades" rather than disabilities.
Well, Union Station is following our lead by bringing in an exhibit that comes really close to letting you know what it is like to experience life as a blind person. The exhibit Dialog in the Dark pairs a group of visitors up with a guide who is blind. The guide then leads you through various activities in a pitch black environment. Pretty cool, huh? If anybody goes to this, drop me a line and let me know what you think.
