1st John 2:22 Who is a liar but

he that denieth that Jesus is the

Christ? He is antichrist, that

denieth the Father and the Son.

Do you know who thefather of all liars is??

One thing I tried to teach

my children was not to lie.

Just tell the truth and be

done with it.

There are groups that teach

Jesus was just a man, a

great teacher, and a healer.

But friend, there is more to

Jesus than that! Jesus was

all man

and is all GOD. Jesus is the

greatest teacher of all time,and, because HE created

man, Jesus can heal man of

any disease or ailment.

Plus, Jesus can, and wants

to save man from hell. It

seems odd to me, but, the

same group that teaches

Jesus was just a man, also,

teaches there is no hell. I

suppose if you will lie

about one thing then youll

lie about any other thing.

Just because you dont

believe something does not

make it so. The TRUTH

will become known. Jesus

is the TRUTH.

God Bless,

Walter D. Hill D. Min.

InsuranceExplained

By Jody Hale

What IsInsurance?

Reminder: Sign-up for the Affordable Care Act Ends

March 31. Take advantage of it while you can!

People often ask me, What exactly is insurance? On

its most basic level, insurance is simply the transfer of risk.

Instead of you being responsible for an entire loss, you

assume a small portion of the risk, referred to as a

deductible, and an insurance company assumes the remain-

der of the risk. The fee for assuming the risk is known as apremium, or the amount you pay for your coverage.

With life insurance you are protecting your loved ones

from debt you owe at the time of you death as well as cre-

ating an instant estate for your family.

Several types of life insurance are available, including

term life, whole life and guarantee issue life for those who

have a difficult time qualifying for traditional life insur-

ance.

Call us today to discuss the many options you have

available for life insurance. With over 50 companies rep-

resented, we can tailor a plan just for you and your family.

According to the

Georgia Department of

Public Health, immu-

nization requirementsfor children who will

attend 7th grade in the

fall have been revised to

align with the current

recommendations of the

Advisory Committee on

Immunization Practices

(ACIP), the American

Academy of Pediatrics

(MP), and the AmericanAcademy of Family

Physicians (AAFP).

Beginning in the 2014-

2015 school year, 7th

grade students must

have Tdap and meningo-

coccal vaccine immu-

nizations prior to enter-

ing school.

Department officials

believe these new school

requirements will lead to

an increase in immu-

nization coverage in

Georgia and reduce dis-

ease. Data from the

National Immunization

Survey (NIS) ranked

Georgia 39th in Tdap

rates and 22nd in

meningococcal rates.Implementation of the

new requirements will

increase vaccine cover-

age rates and protect

Georgias children and

families. The team is

optimistic that the

reduction in disease will

result in a reduction of

school absentee ratesand thereby, improve

student performance.

Effective July 1, 2014

children attending 7th

grade in the fall who are

born on or after January

1, 2002 must receive

one dose of Tdap

(tetanus, diphtheria, per-

tussis) vaccine and onedose of meningococcal

conjugate vaccine before

attending school.

Children who are con-

sidered new entrants

into a Georgia schools in

grades 8th through 12th

must also receive the

vaccine immunizations.

"New entrant" is defined

as any child entering

any school in Georgia

for the first time or

entering after having

been absent from a

Georgia school for more

than twelve months or

one school year.

Immunization form

3231 now reflects the

new requirements.For more information

about immunizations,

contact your family

physician or District IV

Health Services.

During the early 70's my

mom, dad, Phyllis and I

visited my brother, Gary,

in the West Indies,

Antiqua. I have alreadytold you about the plane

trip is a story in its self.

While we were there

Gary wanted to take dad

on a deep sea fishing

trip. I dont know what

possessed me but Etta

and I went also. I dont

like boats, never have.

So what am I doing onthis one? I guess I just

lost my mind. We started

out early in the morning

trying to beat the heat.

My mom was staying

home to care for the chil-

dren.

When we got on the

dock Im not sure what I

expected but it was not

what I saw. It was a 36

foot fishing boat. Just

enough room for the four

of us and the Captain.

Did I say Captain? I

almost backed out.

Gary talked me into it so

I went with reservations.

I get sea sick just by

looking at the water sowe had stocked up on sea

sick pills. I seemed to be

fine as long as the boat

was moving. There were

times went we had to

stop the motor and justfloat. Every time we

stopped I took a pill. I

came close to overdosing

myself. I slept for twelve

hours when we got

home.

Jim Morgan our

Captain told us the fur-

ther out we went the big-

ger the fish. Personally Iwould have been happy

with a six inch fish. That

just happened to be the

size of the fish we were

putting on our fishing

lines. For the sake of my

dad I said Lets go. But

I wanted to be able to see

land. Once Jim had

stopped the boat I turned

around and didnt see

anything but waves.

Thirty foot swells almost

as high as our boat was

long. If you have ever

looked behind you andcould not see anything

but wall of water, it is

not a good feeling. I did-

nt see land anywhere. I

told Jim I had to see

land. He told me we

were just ten miles out. It

might just as well have

been a hundred miles, I

wanted to see land. I askhim if he would go just

one mile in so I could

see land. By this time he

was giving me some

Energy?

West Ga. Back Pain Center, 706-616-6775

This time of the year there is not a whole lot of sunshine. And

sunshine is light energy. Plants take it in and thru photosynthesis

make energy. When we take it in thru our eyes (if we dont wear

sunglasses) the sun stimulates our pituitary and pineal glands,

which are located right behind our eyes. The pineal gland

secretes serotonin and melatonin, which are very important ingetting quality sleep, which allows your body to repair itself

properly.

The pituitary makes nine different hormones like growth

hormone, which keeps your muscles big and tight. And

remember every pound of lean muscle burns up to 20 calories/hr

more than fat. So what is the answer if there is not alot of

sunshine or we spend too much time inside?

Full Spectrum Lighting is the answer, it mimics actual

sunlight. And you can get it at the following website:

Ebay - then type: Full Spectrum Light Bulbs. They just cost a

few bucks and they will make you feel like a million bucks!

funny looks, like I

might be crazy. He just

didn't know the half of

it.

We started fishing. We

had two fishing chairs

so we took turns. We

were belted in, which

really made me uneasy.

I ask why and Jim said

we were going to catch

some big fish. If I did-

nt want to be in the

ocean with them I had

to be belted in. Do you

think he might have

been a lit tle

irated with me?

The first fish I caught

was a Barracuda. It is ascavenger like a catfish.

They have really long

sharp teeth. As I was

reeling him in I thought

it had to be ten footer. I

finally got him in the

boat. He flopped down

about a inch from my

foot. His mouth was

working hard to get to

my foot. You talk about

jumping and yelling. I

almost jumped out of

the boat. Than I remem-

bered

no land for ten miles. I

couldnt even swim.Again I wondered what

I was doing here. After

I calmed down I was

proud of him. I didnt

know that we were

going to give him away.

Jim said he was not the

kind of fish we eat. The

native people there

would eat him.

We caught a lot of

Barracuda that day. We

caught a couple of

sharks but they never

got in the boat. If they

had I guess I would

have had to take my

chance and swim. Dad

saved the day by catch-ing a King Mackerel. It

fed all of our family

plus the house keepers

family and than some.

Finally we were ready

to go home. I was so

happy to see land I

could have kissed it.

But before we got backto land Jim had to crank

the boat. Fear rose up in

my throat big time. It

took him awhile and

finally got it started. I

told him to hurry before

it quit again. I know he

was glad to get me off

that boat.

We got back to the

house and mom had herown water problems.

One of the children had

left the water running in

the bathroom. The

floors all though the

house were under about

a foot of water. Mom

said she had been mop-

ping a while.

I was sun burned really

bad and sleepy from all

those sea sick pills.

Mom was tired from

mopping. It was a long

day for all of us. I had

my high adventure on

the sea I didnt want

any thing else to do

with water for a while. I

have never gone deep

sea fishing again. If I

did, more than likely, I

would not be able to

find anyone that would

take me.

A baby camel asked his

mother, "Why do we have

such large hoofs on our

feet?"

She turned to him. "Godmade us that way for a very

special reason," and she

began her explanation. "The

big hoofs are to keep us

from sinking into the sand."

"Oh! So why do we have

long eyelashes?"

"It's to protect our eyes

from the sand."

"Why the big humps?"

"That is to store fat and

have enough energy to go

long distances in the hot

desert!"

"I see!" the baby camel

stretched his neck and

looked up at his mother,"The big hoofs are to keep

from sinking into the sand,

the long eyelashes are to

keep the sand out of our

eyes, and the humps are to

store energy to travel long

distances -- then what are

we doing in this cage in the

middle of a zoo?"

Like the camel, I had asked

the same kind of questions.When my blindness set in, I

initially locked myself in a

cage of self-pity and bitter-

ness.

Weary from pacing within

that gloomy cage, some-

thing nudged me to see

beyond my circumstance

and unfortunate plight.

Heavens! What was I think-

ing? Those bars were self-

imposed. But worst of all,

I'd supported them with the

cold metal of my negative

attitude.

Eventually, eagerness to

leave my stuffy cell of dis-

content prompted me to

open my ears to hear a reas-

suring whisper -- God hadcreated me for much more.

Itching to break free, I

broke down those bars and

stepped out into the desert

of life. I trudged through

the heat with determination

and drive. I endured the

blistering sun with persever-

ance and tenacity. I

quenched my thirst with

fresh inspiration and

encouragement. And the

hooves of confidence kept

me from sinking into the

sand of insecurity.

Thinking ahead, I made

sure I'd stored a healthy

supply of wisdom and posi-

tive attitude to take me

through the long haul.

Goodness gracious. Each

time I reached another point

in my journey, my eyes saw

a whole new world with

opportunities to make a dif-

ference. Best of all, I was

delighted with the affirma-tion that I was indeed creat-

ed for much more!

Bars come in all sizes and

shapes. Some are physical,

others are emotional or even

mental. But none can with-

stand the force of determi-

nation that breaks them

down. The effort is worth it

and the results, simply

amazing!

So, batting my long eye-

lashes to keep out the sand

of discouragement, I chal-

lenge you --

Step back and peek at what

bars limit you. Take a deep

breath, break them down,

and emerge into the fresh-

ness of a new life!
