It was Just a Donut I am so absent minded that I’dprobably forget my head if it wasn’tattached. (Just try leaving the houseone time without your head attachedand see what happens.) An exampleof my forgetfulness happened a fewweeks ago. I went to a donut shopand bought a couple of big, orshould I say gorgeous, cinnamonfries with maple icing on top. When it was time to pay I realizedthat I forgot my wallet. I stammereda little bit, apologized, and told theclerk that I couldn’t pay. She toldme, “That’s alright, I’ll write yourname down and how much you owe.When you come back with your wal-let just tell whoever is working thecounter that you are paying yourbill.”
It was a fairly long round triphome and back for a bill that wasonly $3.85. What’s the big deal? Shetrusted me and there was no way Iwas going let her down. When Ireturned, I gave her a little extra forthe donuts knowing that she did notexpect it. The fact that she trustedme was one of those insignificantacts that make life so good. Granted, these Something Morearticles are about FAIRHOPE Hos-pice; a subject that is frightening tomany. At their core, though, thesearticles are about the little things inlife. And at its core, that isFAIRHOPE. As you go througheach day, look for a situation in lifewhere you can do a little thing forsomeone. Even if it involves just adonut.

I am hoping tosolve that for her. I am willing tohave my employees do the work,including removing the existingstairway and rails, build a
temporary wood set of stairs,transport the cast iron assembly tomy shop at Company Wrench,where my employees from TheMithoff Companies will rebuildand repair as necessary thestructure and then prime and paint.We will then transport them backto the museum and install. Weestimate the cost for this will be$25,000.
We are seeking cash donationsthat will be tax deductible for youto the Decorative Arts Center ofOhio in order to pay for therepairs. Any help we can getwould be appreciated, no donationwill be considered insignificant,

In part one, we talked about howyou have to decide what you wantyour health to be in the future andcreate a plan to get there. The needfor a known destination was criti-cal. Now look at the need for direc-tion. “Direction determinesdestination!”
Destination is not determined byhope, good intention or wishfulthinking. Destination is determinedby DIRECTION. You cannotchange destination overnight! Thismeans you cannot arrive at a 5-yeardestination, tomorrow. Here’sWHAT you can change today andovernight: Direction! It is so fasci-nating what a small change in direc-tion will do. Your health, today, isheading you a certain way and 5years from now you will end upwith more of what you got!
Here’s how we individually ar-rive at a new destination. So rightnow, today, by making a minimalchange in direction and, head in a
new direction: In 5 years you willend up with “improved health, in-stead of poor health,” or whateverother improvement you want bycategory in your life.
The difference between gettingoff one track/direction and gettingonto a new track/direction is notmuch. A few decisions in disciplineabout learning, a few decisionsabout change of behavior, (a changeof habit), a few decisions aboutsetting goals that you might have letgo from and drifted away from.
If you don’t know where youwant go, how are you going to getthere? That’s one reason why I tellall my patients I am a tour guide.Let’s decide on the destination youwant to go, i.e. improving yourhealth, and let’s create ourmap/plan of how to get there. Wewill together, follow that plan to getto our predetermined destination.The key is not just having the plan-it’s putting the plan into action!
What we all must realize theFACTS are the TRUTH! The factu-al truth is that the joy and benefitsof being healthier will escape youand you will be denied of thosebenefits -if you don’t start makingchanges now.
If you continue on with whatyou are doing- will you have moreof what you’ve got? Is that not true?Here is where the WHY has to beKNOWN! If you want to be a care-giver, you have to have enoughemotional energy and physicalstrength to care for other people -letalone yourself. If you keep going inthe direction that you presently areon-will you have the health that youwant? Sooner rather than later youshould ask yourself that question!
Next question, “Guess howquickly you can start changing yourhealth? “Right now? By starting toeat an apple a day. Mom said, “Anapple a day keeps, the doctoraway.” Mom was smart.
Starting means taking action ex-cavation: You pick up a book ongood health and you get halfwaythrough it. The book shares a radi-cal statement to get down on thefloor and see how many push-upsyou can do. It goes on to ask-if youdid not get down on the floor and dopushups, “Why not give this bookaway and quit now?” Come on, youdo not have to radically do some-thing! YOU… just have to START!
It doesn’t take much to feel goodabout yourself. Just commit to anew direction and you feel good.Just an apple a day while beingcommitted to finally having an im-proved health program, will makeyou the healthiest you have everbeen, and all you have to do is startmunching on that apple! Nobodyeven has to be around to know thatyou’re even doing it. You do nothave to announce it to the world.
Wow… I’m on my way! Some-body says, “just two apples?” Yousay, “ no, you don’t understand,I’ve done it for 2 days with noaudience and not even telling any-body.” Just you and yourself-you’ve convinced yourself you’reon your way.
I’m starting a new life- this is the2nd day –I’m on the way! That’show easy it is to a change a life.You don’t need some dramatic vi-sion, just begin something. You justget back on a better track!
Fact! A), It’s a small journeychanging direction. B), it is crucialto start!
True statement! The process oflife change is not a matter of ability,it’s a matter of will! Everyone can,but, not everyone will. How BIG isyour WHY? Make the decisionright now to be one of the ones whowill. Years from now you will sayeither, “I’m glad I did or I wish Ihad”. Stand apart from your life,like a painter would be admiringtheir work of art, and choose thearea of your life where you knowwhere you need to walk a new road.I am here to encourage you to atleast look at your present healthstatus as one area to access!
You and only YOU will makethe change. I tell all my patients thatI am here to help walk that pathhand and hand with those who wantguidance and accountability. But, itis still you who has to make thatchoice of change.
Inspiration or DesperationChange - what about that? We
make changes in life from eitherinspiration or desperation. If you’rea desperation kind individual-getsome testing done. Try to do 10push-ups. Walk a flight of stepsbriskly. How do you feel? If you’renot functionally and metabolicallyfit, or at least as fit as you feel youneed and should be-use that base-line information as a basis to startyour program. If you’re motivatedby inspiration; read the books, usemotivational quotes, talk to some-body who’s more into their pro-gram then you’re into yourprogram. The sky is the limit for usto make the changes we need inorder to work towards the healththat we want. Ultimately we mustdecide what we want, visualize it,create a plan of attack, and get start-ed when YOU CHOOSE.

April is alcoholism awarenessmonth but many don't know aboutanother condition that often coincideswith alcoholism and that is bipolardisorder. According to the article"The Relationship Between Alcoholand Bipolar Disorder" 43% ofindividuals with bipolar disorderhave some form of an alcohol abusedisorder at any given time. Accordingto the Mayo Clinic, bipolar
depression or manic depression isvery common. There are more thanthree million U.S. cases per year.Treatment can help, but this conditioncan't be cured. It is a chroniccondition and can last for years or belifelong. It requires a medicaldiagnosis.
According to the article, "TreatingBipolar and a Drinking Problem,"bipolar is a severepsychological/psychiatric disorderthat consists of very specific
variations in an individual’s moodand affect. In bipolar disorder therange of mood and affect alternatefrom feelings of depression to manic-like states. There are no medical tests,brain scans, laboratory tests, etc., thatcan diagnose bipolar disorder.Instead, clinicians use a set ofbehavioral criteria to make thediagnosis.
Bipolar Disorder is characterizedby the presence of mania orhypomania. Mania is defined as aperiod of abnormally elevated,expansive, or irritable displays ofmood or affect that last for at leastone week; if the individual's behaviorresults in them being hospitalized andmedicated, it need not last for anentire week.
Specific manifestationsof mania include:
• Extreme talkativeness• Grandiose behavior or extremely
inflated self-esteem• A significant decrease in the
need for sleep• Racing thoughts, observed as
very rapid and prolonged speech• Being very distractible• Significant hyperactivity• An increase in potentially
dangerous behaviors that includegambling binges, shopping binges,having multiple sexual encounters,etc.
• A significant increase in goal-oriented behavior, such ashousekeeping, pacing work-relatedbehaviors, etc.
An individual need not display allof the above symptoms to bediagnosed with mania. A less intenseform of mania termed hypomania ischaracterized as lasting for four daysor more as opposed to a minimum ofone week, and it is associated withless functional impairment (oftencharacterized by significantirritability). Manic episodes arenotoriously short-lived (often lastingonly for hours or a few days) whereasdepression symptoms may occur formonths.
The definitive symptom fordiagnosing bipolar disorder is thepresence of mania (or hypomania).Individuals with bipolar also oftenexperience alternating episodes ofclinical depression. Like mania,clinical depression is diagnosed by aset of behavioral criteria. Anindividual must display at least 5 of11 symptoms consistently over a 2week period, and one of thesymptoms must include significantfeelings of sadness or a significantloss of interest or the ability toexperience pleasure.
What Causes Bipolar Disorder?According to Web MD, doctors
don't completely understand thecauses of bipolar disorder. Bipolardisorder seems to often run infamilies and there appears to be agenetic part to the mood disorder.There is also growing evidence thatenvironment and lifestyle issues have
an effect on the disorder's severity.Stressful life events, or alcohol ordrug abuse, can make bipolardisorder more difficult to treat.Experts also believe that bipolardisorder is partly caused by anunderlying problem with specificbrain circuits and the functioning ofbrain chemicals calledneurotransmitters.
Why Do People Who AreBipolar Drink?
According to the article"Alcoholism With Bi-Polar Disorder"by the Recovery Village, drinking isfrequently a way that people findtemporary relief from their struggles.Whether someone has financialstress, depression due to a loss ofemployment, a social anxietydisorder or a combination of differentissues, alcohol is routinely whatpeople turn to for coping. Manypeople who have bipolar disorderlikewise turn to binge drinkingalcohol. According to the article "TheRelationship Between Alcohol andBi-Polar Disorder, alcohol eases theanxiety between the crazy feelingsand the ups and downs bipolardisorder brings about. Althoughalcohol can provide relief frombipolar disorder, it also endangers anindividual with the illness,intensifying the effects of thedisorder and increasing risks overtime. It is not recommended to drinkwhen you suffer from bipolardisorder, as uncomfortable andunwanted episodes can occur fromany amount you may drink.
How Often Do People WithBipolar Disorder Cycleand What Causes It?
According to the article "HowOften Do People With Bi-PolarDisorder Cycle" by Kimberly Read,typically, someone with Bi-polardisorder experiences one or twocycles a year, with manic episodesgenerally occurring in the spring orfall. Certain conditions are known totrigger symptoms in people withbipolar disease. Understanding thesetriggers, and avoiding them, canminimize symptoms and limit thenumber of cycles a personexperiences. These include:
• Insufficient amount of sleep• Altercations with loved ones• Alcohol and drug misuse• Certain antidepressants and
other medications• A change in seasons• Pregnancy and other hormonal
conditions• Grief over the death of a friend
or family member
Is there Anything to Help PeopleWith Bipolar Disorder?
Certain medications can helpmanage bipolar disorder. Thesemedications, often called moodstabilizers, include: carbamazepine,divalproex sodium, lamotrigine,lithium, and valproic acid.Benzodiazepines, which are usuallyused to treat anxiety, can help when
bipolar disorder pairs with difficultysleeping. Xanax, klonopin, valiumand ativan are all potential bipolardisorder medications. Other types ofmedication people can use for thisspecific mental illness include:tricyclic antidepressants, selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitors andserotonin-nonrepinephrine reuptakeinhibitors, atypical antidepressants,and antipsychotics.
According to the article "TheRelationship Between Alcohol andBi-Polar Disorder" alcohol use anddisorder and bipolar disorder areoften treated separately. However, itis almost always better to treat thedual diagnoses at the same time ratherthan have the untreated illness bringback symptoms of the one thatreceived treatment. Although there islittle research to treat both thesedisorders simultaneously, therapy isa key success factor for any disorder.Learning to deal with bipolar disorderthe right way can influence smarterchoices such as the choice to remainabstinent from alcohol.
Medicine can be prescribed toreduce the uncontrollable stateexperienced, reducing the motivationto drink alcohol as a copingmechanism. Additionally, manybipolar medications react verynegatively with alcohol, causingeffects such as intense hangovers andvomiting.
-According to the article"Treatment for Bi-Polar Disorder:Considering Cognitive BehavioralTherapy and More" by RosemaryBlack, Cognitive Behavioral Therapywhich involves trying to change yourpatterns of thinking, is effective forbipolar disorder, according to theAmerican Psychological Association.Strategies that are used in CBTinclude role-playing to get ready forinteractions that could beproblematic, facing fears directlyrather than practicing avoidance, andlearning techniques to calm and relaxthe mind and body.
A good treatment outcome is onein which the mood episodes arestabilized and the patient is equippedwith the cognitive and behavioralskills necessary to become moreaware of triggers and how to managethem more effectively. Dr. Krakower(a DO and assistant unit chief ofpyschiatry at Zucker HillsideHospital in Glen Oaks, New York)shares that CBT can help a personwith bipolar to recognize the warningsigns of a mood change and can helpthem learn to change unhealthypatterns of behavior.

He is RisenAfter the Sabbath, as the first day of the week wasdawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went tosee the tomb.
Suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel ofthe Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolledback the stone and sat on it. His appearance was likelightening, and his clothing white as snow. For fear ofhim the guards shook and became like dead men. But
the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; Iknow that you are looking for Jesus who wascrucified. He is not here; for he has been raised as hesaid. Come; see the place where he lay. Then goquickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised fromthe dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you toGalilee; there you will see him.’ This is my messagefor you”
So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy,and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met themand said, “Greetings!” And they came to him, tookhold of his feet and worshipped him. Then Jesus saidto them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers togo to Galilee; there they will see me.”

TOWNECRIER
By DeAnne Beyer
It was after an exhilarating hiketo Abrams Falls in The GreatSmoky Mountains in Tennesseethat I was captivated by its beauty.I had wandered out into the vastprairie to observe the myriad ofcolors of flowers in bloom whenI saw the exotic purple and whiteflower. I stopped and stared inawe at the striking beauty of thepassion flower.
I had seen stunning photos ofthe fringed flowers in magazinesand I had heard of their wide-range of uses for ailments. Butuntil I began to read about thisamazing plant, I did not know howit received its intriguing name.
The word passion in passionflower refers to the passion (suf-fering) of Christ. In the 15th and16th centuries, Spanish Christianmissionaries discovered the flow-er and felt that its individual partssymbolized different aspects ofChrist’s last days and crucifixion.According to the missionaries:
• The tendrils represent thewhips used in the flagellation ofChrist.
• The flower's radial filamentsrepresent the crown of thorns thatwas placed on the head of Christ.
• The three stigmas representthe nails that were used to nailChrist to the cross.
• The five anthers below thestigmas represent the five wounds(four by the nails and one by thespear).
• The ten petals and sepalsrepresent the ten apostles whoremained faithful to Christthroughout the Passion.
• The pointed tips of the leavesrepresent the spear that pierced theside of Christ as He hung on thecross.
At this time of year whenmany Christians focus and mournover Christ’s crucifixion, they al-so celebrate. You see, the storydoesn’t end there; for after thecrucifixion came the resurrection.The passion flower was named by Spanish Christian missionaries.

Local Church News & InformationBrought to you by
Baltimore-Thurston Ministerial Association
Most churches observe the season of Lent at this time before Easter. Lent is a time whenChristians can reflect on their Christian growth or discover the obstacles to Christiangrowth.
Let me suggest some practices that might help you and me grow as a Christian. (If youcan't get this going during Lent, begin when you can.)
Prayer. Prayer is the capacity to allow God more of your life. Often we think of prayeras only asking God for things. Prayer is better understood as preparation so that we can rec-ognize what to ask and who to pray for. We need God's prompting to do an effective job ofprayer.
Worship. There are many worship opportunities during Lent. Perhaps your congrega-tion is giving out short prayer and reflection guides for this season. If so, please accept oneof them. The guide will help you establish a daily practice of prayer and will introduce to
the many things that we can pray for.Service. There are so many ways to serve God in our communities while providing us
with opportunities for Christian growth. You may know additional places to serve beyondmy list. Food pantries, suicide hot-lines, in-home helping services, daily telephone contactwith seniors who are isolated. Dream a little: more and more possibilities are coming forthevery day.
Lent is a season of opportunities to grow in our Christian walk. Open your heart and letGod lead you.
