Spiritual Health Disease



This is Sherry Williams, our speaker this week. She told us her very emotional story about coming to know Christ in a very personal way, but only after her mother passed away. She does not know if her mother knew Christ and doesn't know if she'll see her mother in heaven. That uncertainty is what she calls Spiritual Heart Disease. She encouraged us all to accept Christ into our hearts and to live life in a daily walk with Him. She also encouraged us to tell others of our belief...to spread the good news!

These are the ladies with all the blankets we made for a refugee camp in Afganistan. Each colorful blanket has 2 layers of fleece, sewn and tied together by these ladies as well as a logo. These blankets will be sent out soon to the refugee camp to help Mother's keep their babies warm. We were very excited to be used by God in such a fun and colorful way!

Let's get ORGANIZED!


Karen Ehman was our speaker this week. She talked to us about getting organized! She gave us so many tips and tricks about not letting clutter over-run our lives.

She also talked to us about what and who the priorities are in our lives. She told us to list out our top 10 priorities in our lives and to make sure those priorities stay in the proper order by saying "No" to some things or to use caller ID to determine if we need to answer the phone.

Thank you so much, Karen, for sharing your great ideas with us! Learn more about Karen and her new book called The Complete Guide to Getting Organized at her website www.karenehman.com.

We had a large group listening to Karen speak. It's a great topic to start out our year! Join us next week to hear Sherry William talk to us about how to make your heart healthy-both physically and spiritually.
