How celebrating The Feast of the Circumcision of Christ may have helped make Big
History
Short. Oops, not so short!
I started out circumcising Pella ’s phallic symbol, and ended up with
‘How To Make Your Communities Better’ aka ‘Pella Square ’. PS is the second in an ERH Big History
covenant sequence, and the third in a JBJ Big History covenant sequence.
Background. Here’s
the Wikipedia entry on ‘Feast of the Circumcision of Christ’: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_of_the_Circumcision_of_Christ
We were celebrating in on New Year’s Eve, 2005, going into
A. D. 2006.
I was in a state of questioning my sanity.
I was going to ask Pastor and Elder.
Why? We had moved to Pella to get Christian
care for Mom. We escaped ‘family’. [Redacted 1].
Brief history: Joined church on July 4. I had the day off,
it had been a significant day in our family history. Mom and Dad were married then in 1936, and
we’d moved to Stuart on that date in 1959.
We finally got all moved on Oct. 18. Louise and I moved to within a few blocks of
where Mom was living, in a nursing home/Alzheimer’s unit. Mea culpa in all
this. If I had known then what I know now…well, I’m trying with ‘Godparents for
Eldsters’ and more.
I call Oct. 18 [Redacted 2]
[I make one significant history statement at the corner of
the square, and one in the center of each square. So far we’ve gone from the southwest corner,
July 4, Joining, to the center, October 18, Nuremberg .
This is running together with writing the Heidelberg Catechism on top of
the chronology and history. Guilt, Grace, Gratitude, and the 4th
side will add Go Forth, which I have done.]
To finish up Guilt, we move to Mar 3rd/4th,
A. D. 2005. [Redacted 3]
[Note: In all of
this, Louise was great. She may remember
it differently. She may remember the causes and implications differently. BH is
a closed group, nothing sent outside without permission. I give this history so
that we can see an example of liturgy, church year, holidays, etc.
shaping. And it is more shaped with each
iteration of the holiday. ERH makes this
point/’pont’—bridge in French—in his Universal History course(s).]
So, we turn the corner at St. Wjlesa onto Grace Street in the Heidelberg .
In the center we have ‘Ethics Committee’. ‘They’ thought
they were having problems with Mom. More drugs was their solution. We went
along, but Louise and a young lady from church did the ‘cares’ the staff was
having trouble doing, and Mom got off
the drugs. Nearer the end, she had recovered the imperative.
First heart problem, living at home: ‘I don’t want to
die’. This was during a discussion at
the hospital in Guthrie. Second, during early recovery attempts from broken
leg: ‘I don’t want to die yet’. Third,
after off the drugs, ‘Keep me alive.’
Going down Gratitude
street we have in the center Doctors’ Strike. At the northwest corner we have Girardean
Funeral. All the abandoning relative
praised Mom.
Then we turned south on GoForth+ Street (I remember Pastor
Harlow naming it that during ‘counseling’sessions—he remembers it differently).
It’s a good name.
As we have ‘GoneForth+, as I have revisited this yearly,
with a commemoration that had different guests of honor, it has produced a
great ministry/evangelism opportunity that can be used for all the tourists
that come to Pella, and for residents.
How To Make Your Communities Better: http://chuckhartmanhistoryconductor.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-to-make-your-communities-better_28.html
[Some of the guests of honor: Dr. Stockman in Ibsen’s ‘An Enemy of the People,’
Thomas Szasz, Rene Girard, etc.]
THE CHANGE. The idea
is to trace the history of Pella , on top of the
heart of Pella ,
the Heidelberg Catechism. At the end,
the entrance to GoForth+ Street ,
we ask how the name of Pella ,
‘refuge,’ can best be applied today. How
can Pella have
grown in offering refuge. This is a
witness to tourists at Tulip Time, and a uniting question for residents, I
pray.
The corners are 1847 (Dutch arrive), 1922/1935-6 (begin
sharing with Tulip Time and ‘Souvenir History of Pella), and A. D. 2013 (if it gets started by then). [I don’t
know why there is this double underline!!
As with the Mom segment,
never mentioned in the proposed brochure, there is history before—in Mom’s
case, ‘family’ and in Pella ’s case ‘Europe ’.
NOW, HOW DOES THIS FIT INTO
BIG HISTORY?
I’ve been attempting to
Psalmodically Respond in such a way as to conduct (train, , orchestra,
electricity) history, as is shown in Psalm 1:1.
God gives us , in effect, in one way of seeing it, the first
triplet. Blessed is the man who walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly. He
show us a response, in effect saying, fill in the blanks. Walketh not, Counsel, Ungodly. Then what goes
with Standeth not, Way….? Answer:
Sinners. Now try, Sitteth not….? Seat, Scornful.
I propose that we can [#1
of 3] psalmodically respond by lining out, repeating exactly. For that, see instructions for building the
tabernacle, and the building of the tabernacle.
[#2 of 3] We can respond in
Issachar fashion, determining what MUST be done NOW.
[#3 of 3—sodeprehend is the
word I coined. Amos 3:7] Or we can say, God builds a house, we should build a
house. Thus, God has shown us the
4-phase sequence in the national revolutions of the West (ERH), as in a great summary
in chapter 5 of Gardner
My 4 are : Imperative—Enjoy
Comprehensive Beauty. Then, Subjective—Pella Square

For
the whole ERH analog: http://chuckhartmanhistoryconductor.blogspot.com/2012/11/about-peace-tribe-manual-page-on.html. ‘About Peace Tribe Manual.’ A proposal for a
next institution along ERH lines. Tribe with small enthusiastic groups, but
without perpetual war. Chiastic.
For
a JBJ 4 step of Law, Lyric, Evaluation, Fact, put TSOH in Lyric. Here’s the About that I’ve come up with for a
next institution: Godparents For
Eldsters, Words 5 and 8 after the waiting of Word 4, with Jeremiah Time. http://chuckhartmanhistoryconductor.blogspot.com/2012/11/about-nursing-home-godparents-for.html

and http://godparentsforeldsters.blogspot.com/
CONCLUSION:
Liturgy shapes. So do holidays, when the
whole people celebrates one thing, at one time, together. That’s why I wrote
the liturgy onto the coram. And the
process was herovolutionary: http://chuckhartmanhistoryconductor.blogspot.com/2012/08/better-herovolution.html
PS:
I don’t want this deleted from the files, and I won’t put it out in public, so
I make this long post. I apologize, but
it’s worth it. I post on chuckhartmanhistoryconductor.
