Preludes, offertories, postludes seem to some people basic background music that we hear in stores and many public places. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, it’s not that way for me. I’m one of those rare people who begin to hum or sing along, yes, even in public.
My husband sometimes found it embarrassing to have his wife publicly, sing along to the background music. Yes, I was the one singing at the restaurant or Walgreens. It caused us to only shop in places together without music piped in or him calling ahead and asking for the music to be turned down so low that it could not easily be heard around other people’s noise.
Yet in his embarrassment, he told me he was jealous of my being able to find music where it is usually hidden.
So, why listen to preludes, offertories, and postludes?
A prelude is to begin the worship service is a time to privately converse with God. This can be in private meditative silence, prayer, thankfulness, praise, or whatever speaks to you through your relationship with God.
For me, the offertory is a gift. This gift is usually some melodic tune that I believe opens up hearts to the Holy Spirit through the gift of music. That is why people don’t talk during that time and I just don’t stop whenever the ushers are finished collecting the monetary gifts.
The postlude is usually in praise. The congregation does not have to leave, but can reflect on the service, their blessing, the message without words into their lives. Many times people in our church choose to continue to sit to listen. For me, that is a peaceful summary of the service through music.
To write this has been difficult for me. I frequently write for book reviews and events, where the focus is on something outside of myself.
This is inside myself.
Sometimes when I play a familiar tune with words, many people know, I find myself overtaken with a strange feeling. It feels as if I am the instrument, not the piano or organ I am playing at the time. There is a feeling inside that seems to swell and take over the actual playing. At the time, I am singing in my head, the words of the song, oftentimes repeating the same significant words over and over even though the hymn is not written that way.
My husband once commented that I actually look different when that happens. It feels like something much stronger and passionate is expressing itself and strictly using me to communicate.
No, it is not possession. It can’t be because the peace immediately afterwards doesn’t feel worldly.
At those times, I feel as if the Holy Spirit is communicating through me to others in a language that cannot be described in words.
My husband also observed the other worshippers and also commented afterwards that something happened. He just didn’t know what to call it.
This is a time of one-ness. Soul talking to soul. What is it saying?
It seems to be tunneling a message deep inside to others who listen.
God moves in mysterious ways. Listen.
I’m not a writer, but I am a reader. Reading books is part of who I am and what I believe. I truly believe that anyone who can read should read everyday. Everyone should - - Just read! Teri Davis

Understanding the Patterns of Your Life
Understanding the Patterns of Your Life: Take Charge of Your Destiny!
George Pan Kouloukis
Red Feather
Hong Kong
ISBN: 978-0-7643-5320-8
2017
$ 17.99
192 pages
Do the events in your daily life follow patterns? It is usually easy to find math patterns. What about nature? Is there a pattern in examining pine cone? The mathematician Fibonacci certainly saw that pattern. Are there other patterns?
Are there good years and bad ones or is that just a balance of life? Obviously, not every second of each day is good or bad, but what about the overall year? Of course, every day is not typically all good or bad.
Think about the major shifts you have experienced. Examine your health issues, your money situations, your career ups and downs, and your love life. Do any patterns appear?
When you analyze your results in chronological order, surprisingly you are likely to see a pattern. Could this help each of us begin to predict our own futures? Would it help each of us with our family, relationships, career, or life issues in general?
George Kouloukis analyzed the lives of twenty-two well-known people who lived in the last five-hundred years, a few still living today. He quickly found the not many ordinary peoples chronicle and publish their lives. Due to this, he chose famous people in various parts of the world with different careers who experience their own good and bad years.
He studied the lives of Ludwig van Beethoven, Giusepppe Verdi, Pablo Picasso, Mikhail Gorbachev, The Dalai Lama, Margaret Thatcher, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Christopher Columbus, Queen Elizabeth I, Napoleon, Victor Hugo, Winston Churchill, Aristotle Onassis, Nelson Mandela, Maria Callas, Sarah Bernhardt, Napoleon’s wife - Josephine, King Henry VIII, Jimmy Carter, and John Glenn.
Surprisingly, the author, George Kouloukis discovered a pattern in their lives, a sixteen-seventeen year cycle.
The short biographies of these famous people help every reader to properly assess the good and bad seasons for each individual. Naturally, not everything is good in the good season and bad in the bad, but the major overall events are the focus. The author examined the health, wealth, their positions or careers and love.
Kouloukis researched other findings of patterns identified by other researchers. The Universe by Time-Life Books explained how the magnetic poles of the sun alternate every eleven years. Strangely, this pattern seemed to have little to no relevance to human behavior. Another consideration was The Seasons of a Man’s Life by Daniel J. Levison explained the four seasons of every life with each lasting round twenty to twenty-two years. Again, George Kouloukis found no normal correlation with his life or those he studied.
These resources appealed to Kouloukis but seemed slightly flawed.
Lacking few biographies of ordinary people or regular people, he began to study these famous people throughout the world, varying the time periods, the gender, the situations, and delving into their personal lives focusing on their wealth, health, love, and successful or failed careers.
He discovered the patterns through these people and allows you to examine your own life to discover the season you are now experiencing so that the author’s realizations can assist you with your life in the future.
Reading the book, Understanding the Patterns of Your Life allows you to learn to examine your own life to allow you to make choices for yourself. George Pan Kouloukis has opened his wisdom to read your own personal crystal ball.

The Last Mrs. Parrish
Liv Constantine
Harper Collins Publishers
New York, New York
ISBN: 978-0-06-266757-1
2017
$ 25.99
393 pages
Who doesn’t want to be richer, thinner, blonde with blue-eyes, tanned, better looking and more successful? This seems to be the American dream for many women. Most wealthy people appear to have it all. With money, they can recreate themselves into almost the perfect person. Think of the numerous women and even many men who spend enormous amounts of money to achieve their vision of perfection.
The problem is often what appears in public is quite different than reality or in the privacy of a home.
Amber Patterson is tired of being normal. She is thin, but plain. Mousy brownish hair, dowdy, ambitious but in a career with no future for making real money. She just makes enough to get by with her paycheck to paycheck existence.
How can she change her life?
Amber finds a new friend, Daphne Parrish, who seems to be everything she could want. Daphne is beautiful, rich, blond, blue-eyes, married to a gorgeous husband and two young daughters. Amber wants Daphne life, but slightly changed without the children. She doesn’t enjoy young ones at all.
Coincidentally, both Daphne and Amber had sisters who dies due to cystic fibrosis. This is the foundation of their friendship.
Will Amber ever have a life like Daphne’s?
What Amber really wants is Daphne’s husband, Jackson and unfortunately, she seems blind to Amber’s ambitions. A story of manipulations and lies to achieve your goals keeps you turning each page constantly wondering about each character.
The Last Mrs. Parrish is a fascinating debut novel from the perspectives of Daphne and Amber while peals back the story of their relationship as an onion with multiple layers. The characters are easily envisioned with what initially appears as shallowness while unveiling the story into the immense depth of each one.
The storyline easily flows in this enthralling page turner. Each page almost bewitches the reader to read faster and faster. Unquestionably, this is a page turner.
The author Liv Constantine is really two people. Lynne Constantine and Valerie Constantine, who are sisters who wrote this novel by communicating through FaceTime and e-mail. They were inspired by the long dark tales their Greek grandmother told them as children lasting hours.
The Last Mrs. Parrish is a fascinating, fast-paced read that is an addictive novel that is a psychological thriller with constant intense suspense. Reading The Last Mrs. Parrish is like being on a roller coaster with constant ups and downs as the story continues with even a final twisted curve at the end.
The story is a memorable fast-read.

The Nutcracker
Christmas Eve brings excitement to children of all ages.
Hosting the annual party is Clara's family in their lavish home.
Clara's little brother, Fritz, catches a mouse. Naturally, his first thought is to tease his sister with it. Who wants a terrified mouse being held by its tail?
Fortunately, their Uncle Dosselmeyer is attending bring a trumpet for Fritz and a very special gift for Clara, a decorative nutcracker in the large shape of a toy soldier.
Being a typical little brother, Fritz breaks it.
This is how The Nutcracker, a story told with no spoken words, begins. A gorgeously entrancing ballet presented by Ballet Nebraska whose name next year will be American Midwest Ballet.
It is hypnotic for everyone of all ages. The proof was a two-year-old little boy sitting near me. He was completely mesmerized. Strangely, I saw no one leaving the theater to go to the lobby. No one.
The audience was completely fascinated by this ballet performance.
The timing is perfect. The show lasts about ninety minutes with an additional twenty minute intermission.
The costumes are radiant, each one intricately individual for each person. Deborah Overturff and Thom Peterson are brilliant in making beautiful and moveable costumes complimenting each person. The sets and props are magnificently colorful. I was amazed at the backstage crew who are responsible for everything on stage except for the actual dancing. These unseen diligent and attentive crew members, director, production and stage managers, lighting and sound managers, wardrobe mangers, chaperones, and even the members of the Opera Omaha Children's Chorus and director are phenomenal.
Numerous performers left me with memories of their spellbinding performances. Tianna Hartin-Kovy was a wonderful Clara. Fritz was played by an adorable Owen Fuesel. Their parents portrayed by Bret Samson and Sasha York were absolutely gracefully gorgeous.
Personally, I adore both the choreography and performances by both Matthew Carter and Erika Overturff. These two epitomize gracefulness and the essence of ballet. They are masterful with dance.
The entire dance company is phenomenal. I so admire the strength and grace of the male performances who are constantly catching people in their arms so effortlessly while maintaining their balance and being part of their dance. The numerous dancers who created each character as an individual while still matching each step of the group.
Who did I enjoy the most?
Clara, Fritz, the society dog guest star from the Nebraska Humane Society, Drosselmeyer by Matthew Carter, the Ballet Doll and the Jack-in the-Box by Katherine Eppink and Alexandra Hoffman, the Rat Queen by Claire Goodwillie who happened to be the best I have ever seen in this role, The Snow Queen by Erika Overturff, The Snow King by Sasha York, The Sugar Plum Fairy by Erin Alarcon, and The Cavalier by Ryan Christopher all made the show appear magical. To appear to move on air or to fly in a dream, every performer added to this wonderful production.
What is special about the Ballet Nebraska performance? Why not go to any Nutcracker performance?
First, the integration of the ballet students within the performance. These students are so well taught, it is often difficult to realize that they are not professionals. Secondly, Ballet Nebraska presents one of the colorfully beautiful presentations of any production. Lastly, the production is intoxicatingly enticing, without the alcohol.
Additional performances will be December 2nd and 3rd at the Orpheum Theater in Omaha.

All My Sons
Imagine yourself as living in America in 1947. As a young woman, what would you do if you were in love with the son of your father’s business partner? This seems fairly simplistic, but there are a few complications.
The son was you have loved for years was a pilot, fighting in World War II, somewhere near or in China.
Now, he has been missing for three years.
His mother seems to be the only one who truly believes that he is still alive, somewhere. She did allow a memorial for him, an apple tree planted in their yard.
Will he return?
Ann, the girlfriend, is moving on with her life. She is in love with the missing man’s brother, Chris. Fortunately, he also loves her.
Will they marry? Can the family accept Ann into the family if she marries Chris? Will the family accept the changes soon to happen in their lives or remained locked in the world of 1944?
Added to this is a problem from the past. The business partnership was responsible for the mass production of airplane parts for the war, but something went wrong, terribly wrong causing the deaths of at least twenty-one pilots.
All of this is woven into the story of All My Sons, a Tony Award winning play from 1947 by Arthur Miller.
The play begins with a summer storm breaking an apple tree in the backyard. The tree is the memorial to Larry Keller, the missing son.
That is the one small change seems to be the catalyst for changes for everyone.
In the Keller family, Joe, the father, is portrayed by Tim Daugherty. He is the center of this family and play with everyone seeming to rotate around him. He is masterful and exemplary in this role. Between keeping life simplistic for his wife and attempting to control the rest of the family, he is constantly trying to place people in their proper places, according strictly to his perspectives.
Kate Keller is played by Debbie Bertlesen and Chris by Will Muller. Both roles are brilliant in revealing the hidden problems of the past affecting their present and future.
In the Deever family, Geana Krajicek plays Ann and Adam Haverman is her brother, George. Both realize life is unpredictable and are great in attempting to move on and seeking justice as well as love in a cruel world.
Also, the neighbor’s child, Jabe Rounds is great in the role of Bert, learning the role of neighborhood policing by his boss, Joe Keller. At least in playing, this continues to demonstrate Joe’s need of controlling those around him.
Dr. Jim Baylis is played by Stan Tracy and his wife, Sue, by Rita McKinney. Frank and Lydia Lubey are played by Conner Mowery and Abigail J. Stoscher. Each of these characters is great in these roles.
No play is successful without a magnificent “behind the scenes” crew. Bob Putman is the theater director with Ron Hines directs the show and Tyler Orvis being the producer.
Responsible for the lighting are Darrin Golden and Sam Neff while Dave Podendorf and Jaycee Wetenkamp cover the sound. With both the designing and building the sets are Bob Putman, Tyler Orvis and Denise Putman.
Rhonda Hall takes care of the props, Dave Podendorf is the stage manager, and Dwayne Ibsen is responsible for the costumes.
The timing for the play is 2 hours and 15 minutes including a fifteen minute intermission after the first act, approximately an hour into the play. All My Sons is an intense show.
This production of All My Sons continues through this weekend with shows at 7 pm on Friday and Saturday nights and at 2 pm on Sunday. Costs for tickets is $20 for each adult, $16 for seniors, and $10 for students. This is a play that a high school student could learn many life lessons, but not likely to be understood by those younger.
To purchase tickets, contact the Chanticleer Box Hours between 9 and noon, call the theater at 712-323–9955 or at chanticleertheater@gmail.com. The theater is located at. 830 Franklin Ave. in Council Bluffs.
Even though set in the postwar 1940s, the underlying issues of justice, ambition, patriotism, integrity, home, capitalism, and even love have a relevance in even 2017.
I am in awe of this cast and crew who emotionally repeatedly tell the story for everyone.
Every adult needs to see this production of All My Sons to better understand people and even to question a little of your own morals and values.
