Through His Eyes
***Pastor James preached a memorable sermon yesterday (well, he always does, but sometimes he just hits me right between the eyes. :-) ). He preached from II Cor. 5, and the thing that really stuck out to me was how we are to see others as Christ sees them. In other words, when I look at Hillary Clinton and immediately get a rise in my blood pressure, I need to remember that God sees her as a lost child whom He desires to save. That is very humbling, and a good reminder.
***Wow, have we ever been busy at the store! It's really coming together, though, and we're getting excited as our Grand Opening gets closer and closer. It's really starting to look like a store now. :-)
***Alzheimer's Cafe. What a great idea!

***Researchers ID protein that can be activated to treat heart disease. I certainly hope this works out!

Pam Van Ahn and her sister Jean spent four years providing respite care to family caregivers who couldn’t afford a break. But Van Ahn wanted to do more to help full-time caregivers manage the stress of looking after a loved one.
She founded Amy’s Place, a memory care café where family caregivers of loved ones with dementia, Alzheimer’s and other cognitive illnesses can socialize and find support. Though memory care cafés are popular in Europe and Australia, they’re less known in the States, and Amy’s Place is the first free-standing café in the country. Van Ahn discovered the useful community building idea online.

***Bringing Laughter into Your Marriage. Good advice from Focus on the Family:
Two prime ministers are sitting in a room discussing affairs of state. Suddenly a man bursts in shouting and stamping and banging his fist on the desk. The resident prime minister admonishes him. "Peter," he says, "kindly remember rule number 6," whereupon Peter is instantly restored to complete calm, apologizes, and withdraws. The politicians return to their conversation, only to be interrupted yet again twenty minutes later by a hysterical woman gesticulating wildly, her hair flying. Again the intruder is greeted with the words: "Marie, please remember rule number 6." Complete calm descends once more, and she too withdraws with a bow and an apology.
When the scene is repeated a third time, the visiting prime minister addresses his colleague: "My dear friend, I've seen many things in my life, but never anything as remarkable as this. Would you be willing to share with me the secret of rule number 6?"
"Very simple," replies the resident prime minister. "Rule number 6 is 'Don't take yourself so seriously.'"
"Ah," says his visitor, "that is a fine rule." After a moment of pondering, he inquires, "And what, may I ask, are the other rules?"
"There aren't any."
