Revivals are about to end. One more to go-at Union Baptist in Gordonsville. Nazareth has had a wonderful spiritual revival. The Rev. Wormley preached on “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?“ One husband blurted out, “My wife!“
Living long and well with a smile
Having a healthy smile means so much more than having pretty teeth. It means living free of oral, facial and throat conditions and diseases that, as we all know, sometimes cause pain and tooth loss. It is easy to take the tissues in our mouth, face and throat for granted, but they are vital to living each day comfortably. They allow us to speak and smile, sigh and kiss, smell, taste, touch, chew, swallow, cry and show a world of feelings and emotion through facial expressions. Nurturing these tissues by having regular oral exams, good hygiene, good nutrition and not smoking can prevent disease throughout your body.
Nurture your mind and body through a healthy outlook and lifestyle
Stay in touch with family and friends; be involved in your community, keep a positive attitude and do things that make you happy. Try to be physically active for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. Don’t smoke! Eat a well-balanced, low-fat diet, ask someone to help you if you think you might have a problem with drugs or alcohol.
From a kids view
“God Bless America, through the night with a light from a bulb…“
“Give us this day our deli-bread”
“Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the whole east coast…“
A 4-year-old went to the dentist for his check-up. The dentist asked, “How old are you?“ The little boy put up four fingers. Smiling, the dentist asked, “Can you talk?“ The little boy said, “Why? Can’t you count?“
Have a blessed day.
