Did You Miss It?
Today's sunrise was beautiful. What?? You missed it? You were sleeping in? I don't blame you! I'd have been sleeping, too if I didn't do morning radio. I promise you I won't see Saturday's sunrise! Anyway, I took some pics for you. Here are a few views of God's transient artwork this morning.

Starving for Help
Understanding the warning signs of an eating disorder
By: Dwight Bain, Nationally Certified Counselor & Certified Life Coach
Starving to death is common in third world countries because they don't have enough food to eat. Starving for help is a different yet equally serious problem because it isn't about getting enough food to feed the physical body, rather, it's about restricting food for the purposes of controlling body image. Starving for help is fueled by the struggle over 80% of American women experience daily, because that's how many women are dissatisfied with their appearance or have deep insecurities their weight; which often can lead to developing an eating disorder like anorexia or bulimia. In the United States eating disorders have become serious health problems impacting almost 10 million women and over a million men according to research from the National Eating Disorders Association, yet the overwhelming majority of people struggling in this area feel too ashamed to ask anyone for help so they suffer alone in silence.
Consider how often we hear warnings about the risk factors from things like driving without a safety belt, smoking, driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol or being victimized in an abusive or violent relationship; because these serious issues are openly discussed from beauty shops to Bible study groups. However, consider how little we hear on the very real dangers of an eating disorder which can begin silently in any home at any time leading to devastating problems that impact an entire family and too often result in the tragic loss of life.
This special report is designed to help you or someone you love better understand an eating disorder and more importantly how to deal with key issues to help someone struggling alone in the darkness by bringing issues out into the light so others can come alongside to help you overcome this common, yet often crippling disorder. Keep track of the warning signs and symptoms you identify while reading this resource so you can be better informed and equipped to take positive action to change the areas you see that need attention, because you can't fix an eating disorder alone.

Bring Trader Joes to the Triad!
I have heard so many people raving about the selection and prices at Trader Joes. The closest one to the Triad is in CARY! Even so, I know lots of folks who make the 1+ hour trek once a month to stock up on foodstuffs from TJ's. Here's a description of Trader Joes from their website:
Just what is this thing we call Trader Joe’s? Well, we’re a grocery store, sure, but really so much more. Our shelves are stocked full of delicious foods and beverages from the basics like milk, bread and butter to more exotic fare like imported cheeses, organic produce and hand-tossed pizza from Italy. We taste every product before we decide to sell it, and we guarantee you’ll like it.*
You might expect indulgences like these to come with unbecoming prices. But at Trader Joe’s, we’re as much about value as we are about great food. In other words, we keep our costs low, cut out the middleman whenever possible and pass our savings on to you in the form of terrific everyday prices. So you can afford to be adventurous without breaking the bank.

Volunteer with Hospice
Not many people are totally comfortable with end of life issues. Being around people who are dying forces us to look our own mortality square in the face. However, I have found that God often calls us out of our comfort zones as a way to get closer to him.
Community Home Care and Hospice is in desperate need of volunteers to come sit with their patients. All they ask is for one hour per month. Many of their patients reside in nursing homes and have no one to visit them.
For more info, contact Kelli Ensley at 336-318-7832, or online at www.communityhch.com .
