Chicken soup, holy and otherwise

Kathryn Bowden — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 03:20:43 +0000

It has come to our house. I was afraid it would, have battled against it, refuse to consider the possibility of it’s arrival, but it has made an appearance anyway. It’s the dreaded flu. Thankfully most of us managed to get a flu shot this year so that’s helpful. It seems this years strain is [...]

Recognize and Rejoice!

Nora Neal-Daggett — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 06:03:01 +0000

The anniversary of my brush with breast cancer was one day away! I had only thought about the sequence of events that changed my life in fleeting moments. Like this time last year, I would reflect on the day. Then, I would thank God for his healing and for these blessed hot flashes that the [...]

You Were Made For So Much More

Maria Simone — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 14:28:16 +0000

It’s December, filled with Holiday parties and goodies everywhere. It’s become easier for me to just reach for food, not only when I am physically hungry, but also when I am emotionally and spiritually hungry. With so many opportunities to indulge, I’ve found myself less and less sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit. [...]

How I Made It Over

Nora Neal-Daggett — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 13:49:15 +0000

I stand looking out the window of my life. So much has happened in the last year. Reflecting back, I remember it all started with a phone call. My Dad, who celebrated 88 years of life in Feb 2009 and resided in Southwestern Virginia was told by his doctor he had a few months to [...]

Annointing

Donna Rodriguez — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 03:46:29 +0000

by Nora Neal-Daggett I awakened the morning of my MRI knowing that I had to anoint myself with oil and plead the blood of Jesus and his magnificent healing over my life and my health. I was not quite sure of the process but I knew that I had some very special oil in my [...]

Angels on Assignment

Donna Rodriguez — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 03:14:04 +0000

by Nora Neal-Daggett It was January 2008 and we had received the call that Trenton, my middle sons child was near death. From North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia we poured into our cars and headed for Pittsburgh Children’s Hospital where Trenton was being air-lifted. One call changed the course of all our lives! As [...]

Oh My Lord, Oh My Lord What Shall I Do?

by Nora Neal-Dagett “If you’ll hold on to me for dear life,” says God, I will get you out of any trouble. I will give you the best of care. If you’ll only get to know and trust me. Call me and I will answer, be at your side in bad times. I’ll rescue you, [...]

Healthy Living

Donna Rodriguez — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 15:14:24 +0000

by Angeles Gannon What does the term “healthy eating” mean? When I first began the search for the ideal diet for my family, I soon realized that many so-called experts contradict each other. Well, I decided to turn to the real Expert on everything: God Himself. The simplest answer to my question (what is the [...]

Breast Self Exams

Donna Rodriguez — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 02:08:26 +0000

by Kristielynne Cutler Breast Self Exams (BSE) should be done monthly on any person who has breasts (men included) and one week after menstruation. Ideally these should be done in the shower so your fingers can easily move about on the skin surrounding the breast. When you ‘get to know’ your breasts, you are apt [...]

God Made Sunscreen!

Donna Rodriguez — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 21:30:13 +0000

by Kristielynne Cutler Sunscreen is most often advertised in weekly circulars and on television in the summer months. There are all kinds of sunscreens and SPF (sun protection formulas) ranging from 10-85%. Newsflash, the sun comes up in the fall, winter and spring as well. Interesting, how the advertisements slow down during those times of [...]

The Elderly and Dehydration

Donna Rodriguez — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:35:35 +0000

by Kristielynne Cutler NP-C The older a person gets the less fat they have to protect against weather changes. It is not unusual to find elders wearing sweaters in extreme heat. They truly feel cold but they are still losing fluid just as we do in the heat and need extra liquids. Additionally, some may [...]

Is my old mother crazy? A desperate letter from a middle aged daughter

Donna Rodriguez — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 11:08:01 +0000

by Kristielynne Cutler She used to live so well on her own. I know the house we all grew up in was too big, but she had dad’s retirement and could pay for the upkeep fine. She cooked and cleaned as she had always done. She continuously begged my sister and me to bring the [...]
