Intellectual Well-being
As you look at the Wholeness Wheel, you can see that they divide the circle up into several aspects of one’s
life. The overall concept is that each aspect makes up a part of our whole life—and that each part is important.
This month, I want to focus upon the intellectual well-being.
The developers of the Wholeness Wheel write about the intellectual well-being part of the wheel:
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Using our minds keeps them alert and active. Stay curious, ask
questions, seek answers. Explore new responsibilities, experience new things and keep an open mind.
And remember, knowing when and how to let your mind rest is as important as keeping it active.
Intellectual well-being is not just how smart you are. This aspect of well-being is not about your I.Q. level;
rather intellectual well-being is about how we use our brains and our intellect in our everyday life. Do you seek
to continue to grow and learn? Either in your job or within your hobbies? Do you keep up with trends and
technology within your profession or within the activities that you engage in?
The key for intellectual well-being is to engage your brain in thought processes and continue to learn. Too
many times, we tend to engage in activities that we are just passive and do not require critical thinking skills.
Studies have shown that engaging in actives where make us think (e.g. crossword puzzles, word & number
games, etc.) help prevent disorders like Alzheimer’s and keep us mentally sharp.
Strengthening our intellectual well-being can be achieved in many ways: reading books or magazines, explor-
ing the internet about questions we do not know the an-
swers, crossword puzzles, number games, taking things
apart and putting them back together to figure out how
they work. This is not an exhaustive list, for learning
can be just about anything.
As you think about intellectual well-being, some ques-
tions to reflect upon are:
How do you continue to learn?
How do you exercise your brain?
How do you let your mind rest?
How can you strengthen your intellectual
well-being?
Is intellectual well-being a strength to your
overall well-being in life?

: Text— Romans 1:1-17 {Confirmation Sunday—ONE SERVICE—9:00 AM}
We gather in worship as 10 young adults will be affirming their baptism through the use of the Rite of Confirmation.
Our lesson is the beginning of Paul’s letter to the Church of Rome. This letter was written to the people so that they
would know the basics of the story of Jesus Christ. The next few weeks we will hear more from this letter of Paul.
May 10th
: Text— Romans 5:1-11
As Paul teaches about Jesus in this letter, this section he is telling the people about the results of being justified. Paul
states emphatically that since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through Jesus Christ. And that all suf-
fering and hardship produce hope which is about Jesus’ love being poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
May 17th
: Text— Romans 6:1-14
In this last reading from Paul’s letter to the Romans, he proclaims that we are no longer under the power of the law; ra-
ther we live under grace. This is because as we have been baptized into his death and thus we will certainly be united
with Jesus in his resurrection—giving us forgiveness, salvation and eternal life.
May 24th
: Text—Acts 2:1-4 {Pentecost Sunday}
Today we hear of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. The Spirit comes to dwell with us and em-
power us in our daily lives so that we can go out and proclaim the mighty acts of God to the world.
May 31st:
Text—John 3:1-17 {Trinity Sunday} On Trinity Sunday, Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus presents us with John's language for the triune God: God; the
Son, who is the only begotten one; and the Spirit, of whom the believers are born. This is expansive imagery of God: the
Spirit of God as a womb amplifies the language of God as the Father of the Son.
Upcoming Worship Below are the lessons and some thoughts about the upcoming Sundays. Please take some
time to look over the lesson and reflect upon the questions in
preparation of the upcoming weeks in worship.

Tip of the month
Use the draft mode when printing documents that aren’t final, or when you’re printing information that doesn’t have to look professional. Your print-er’s draft mode uses about half the ink it would for a normal print job.
GO GREEN
FAVORITE BIBLE VERSES Seniors at St. Paul-Borchers have shared many of their favorite bible vers-es . This month will begin a series of short stories about how particular vers-es have influenced the lives of our el-ders. Our first Bible Verse story is from Bertha Otte:
2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV) “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Je-sus Christ.” Bertha (Stockamp) Otte was one of six teens who were confirmed at St. Paul-Borchers by Rev. Albert Heideman in 1937. This verse is one of the many scripture verses Bertha and her fellow confirmands memorized during Catechism instruction. Bertha can still quote this verse today. Asked why she remem-bers it, Bertha states "I remember it because it tells us how we are to be saved." Borchers Breakfast Club (BBC) meets every Thursday from 9:00 to 12:00 for breakfast, activi-ties, and social time. YOU are welcome to join the group just for breakfast, or for the entire morning. Leftovers from weekly BBC breakfasts are available to be delivered to anyone who would appreciate this effort. If you or someone you know might like an occasional delivery, please let Joe Hoene or Trish Tangman know. Interest in exercising on Thursday mornings has waned in recent months. In the past, participants have engaged in gentle chair exercises, yoga for seniors, and more active walking exercises de-signed to get those hearts pumping. New ideas are always welcome! Please pass on exercise ideas you’d like to try to Trish or Mandy. Exercises usual-ly begin immediately after breakfast and end with plenty of time left to play games and engage in oth-er activities before noon.
Stephen Minister groups will
not meet in May due to the Me-
morial Day holiday. Caregivers
please contact Pastor Steve or
Trish if you need assistance
before the next regularly
scheduled meeting in June.

HEALTH & WELLNESS CARE:
Should I See a Medical Doctor, a Nurse Practitioner, or a Physician’s Assistant?
from Susie Schnitker With the rapid changes that are taking place in healthcare across the country, there are two terms that con-
sumers frequently have questions about. These are the Nurse Practitioner (NP) and the Physician Assistant
(PA). There is frequent confusion surrounding what these titles mean and what the scope of practice is by
each of them within healthcare. Both roles have been around since the 1960’s, however, they have recently
become rapidly advancing careers needed to fill gaps in healthcare access.
The NP and PA both have advanced degrees. NP’s must first have a bachelor’s degree in nursing and have a
state RN license. NP’s then obtain either a masters or doctorate degree from a nursing school. PA’s first
achieve a bachelor’s degree in any area of study and then receive a master’s degree with training in a medi-
cal-focused curriculum. NP’s are trained in a “patient-centered” model of care meaning that they are taught to
focus on disease prevention and health education. PA’s are trained in a “disease-centered” model of care in
that they focus on the pathologic components of health. Both are trained to examine, diagnosis, and treat.
NP’s can work in many different and diverse areas, such as geriatrics, pediatrics, women’s health, mid-wifery,
and mental health. PA’s typically work in more generalized practice areas but can specialize. NP’s generally
work independently with physician oversight and collaboration. PA’s cannot work independently of physicians.
Both NP’s and PA’s can write prescriptions, order diagnostic tests such as x-rays and blood work, and per-
form procedures such as stitches and biopsy’s.
NP’s and PA’s are important roles for future healthcare. The American Association of Medical Colleges pre-
dicts that the US will have a shortage of 130,000 physicians in the next ten years. NP’s and PA’s are needed
to help fill these vital health care roles. In 2012 there were 110,200 NP’s and 86,700 PA’s practicing in the
US. In the next ten years, NP needs will grow by 34% and PA needs by 38%.
So, which one should I see? When making a decision about whether to see an NP, PA, or MD, most of the
time it should not matter. NP’s and PA’s are trained to know when something is beyond their ability. They
know when to refer you to a physician or specialist. It is merely a matter of personal preference and who you
feel comfortable with.
Building Fund Update: We are getting very close to paying off the mortgage on the building.
The box to the side shows an estimate of what we still owe. In order to
make a final push towards paying off the loan amount: let’s have a
goal of having a payoff Sunday of May 17th. We will provide weekly
updates in the bulletin. A comment was made at the Quarterly Meeting
that if everyone put in a little toward the building fund, we could have
it paid off quickly. Once the mortgage is paid off, we will have a cele-
bration at a later date to mark this event. If you would like to be a part
of a group of people to plan this celebration, please talk with Pastor
Estimate for Building Payoff:
Principal & Interest {3/18/15}—$72,275.09
April Payment— ($38,974.00)

BORCHERS CHAPEL NEWS
Enjoy the Flower Garden this Spring!
It seems we’re always rushing to get to the next event these days, but if you have a few extra minutes after church (or any-
time) you should take a stroll and enjoy the peace-fulness of the Native Plant & Flower garden located at the west end of the chapel. The chapel commit-tee was awarded a grant from The Indiana Native Plant and Wildflower Society in 2012 and created the garden to offer members and visitors a place to set and reflect or just rest their legs. There is a bench and several plants and flowers to enjoy while breathing in that good Jackson County air and lis-tening to the birds. Enjoy!
