JESUS IS THE ANSWER!!!
A note from Betty Richardson:
A GREAT RECIPE...
1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Talk to God about what is going on in your life. Buy a lock if you have to.
3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to__________ today. I am thankful for______________'
4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
5. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli , almonds & walnuts.
6. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
7. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.
9. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
10. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
11. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
12. You are not so important that you have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
13. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
14. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
15. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
16. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'
17. Forgive everyone for everything.
18. What other people think of you is none of your business.
19. GOD heals everything - but you have to ask Him.
20. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
21. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch!!!
22. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
23. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for__________. Today I accomplished_________.
24. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
25. When you are feeling down, start listing your many blessings. You'll be smiling before you know it.
Send this to everyone you care about.
God Bless You

Notes from John the.... baritone, willow creek..
How/What/Why We Believe... I would like to go through a study of why,what,how we believe in a series of steps starting with the, (1)Scriptures, (2)The triune Godhead, Father, Son & Holy Spirit, (3)Creation, (4)Man/Woman, (5)The Devil/Satan, (6)Atonement for sin, (7)Salvation, (8)The Daily
Christian Walk, (8)The Great Commission.... I will endeavor to make each segment short/a quick read, yet cover a general study on what encompasses our faith in God...... The Scriptures: We believe 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the whole Bible is inspired, moved by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:21-For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man, but Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. To write the very words aspiring to all scriptures as in original manuscripts, without error. The scripture centers around Jesus Christ in his person, work, in his first and second coming, including the Old Testament properly read leads to Jesus Christ. Designed for our personal and practical instruction. Luke 24:27-Then He said unto them, O' fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken. John 5:39-Search the scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me. Romans 15:4-For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 1 Corinthians 10:11-Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples, and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
That concludes this portion, Please stick with me on this, I'll try to stick solely with the scripture, where there are no man-made opinions, the main reason is that in Gods word there is power, Gods word will pierce and convict those seeking the truth, and desiring to grow in a closer walk with the savior.
Please feel to send comments, more will be coming next month.
Thanks for your time.. I know Gods word will bless you... JR
