The Tailgating Tradition
Each fall, football, food and fun combine for the uniquely American pastime known as
tailgating. It’s estimated that each year about 50 million fans spend up to $12 billion on these
parking lot picnics that take place before, during and after a game.

There are several theories about the origins of the tradition. Some liken tailgate parties to harvest
festivals, where farm families gathered to celebrate and share their bountiful crops, feasting
outside before retreating indoors for the winter.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, when people traveled to football and baseball games by train,
they brought their own food since stadiums then didn’t provide any. As the automobile became
common, fans would arrive early to get a parking spot and passed the time enjoying food, drink
and camaraderie.
Today, tailgating has become part of the pregame festivities for other sports, including baseball
and soccer, as well as events like concerts.
Meditation and Pain Management
An estimated 100 million adults in the U.S. live with chronic pain, caused by conditions
like arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraine and sciatica, among others. Often, this type of pain is
compounded by poor sleep, stress and anxiety. Meditation is gaining use in the health care field
as a way to treat chronic pain.
Doctors are still unsure exactly how meditation works to alleviate pain, but research shows
that the practice may actually change the areas of the brain that process both the physical and
emotional responses to pain and injury. Not only is it possible for a person’s pain level to be
reduced, but meditation can also help the person learn to cope with it better.
Stress and negative thinking — often brought on by pain — can exacerbate pain even further,
creating a vicious cycle. But mindfulness meditation, which focuses on awareness of thoughts
and sensations, can help break that cycle. By acknowledging their pain rather than trying to
ignore it, chronic pain sufferers may be able to change the way they experience pain, resulting in
a higher tolerance and happier outlook.
Meditation is not meant to replace traditional treatments like medication and physical therapy,
but instead works with other methods to improve a person’s quality of life. Recent studies
indicate that even beginners practicing simple techniques can see results in a relatively short time.

God Is Moving
in My Life
God is moving in my life
Because I’ve asked Him to.
I have invited Him to come,
Controlling all I say and do.
When I am weary ... worried,
I turn to Him in prayer.
Regardless of the problems,
I know my God is there.
Sometimes He doesn’t fill my need,
My plea and my request,
But I know He has a better plan;
I trust that God knows best.
I focus on God’s Holy Words
To ask and I’ll receive.
Not my will but His will be done
When I continue to believe.
I walk in faith with confidence,
Void of fear and strife.
Almighty God is guiding me —
Yes, God is moving in my life.
— Patience Allison Hartbauer
