EDITOR’S NOTE:
We have been recently inundated with tragic and unsettling events- The Boston Marathon bombing, West, Texas factory explosion, North Korea missiles… It is certainly more than enough to lead many to fear, confusion, and insecurity. Where was God? Is He still active? Does He still care about us? The short answer is this: Yes, God is still alive and active…even in our neighborhood. If you are a regular reader of this publication, you will notice that we are not including some of our regular features. If you are a first time reader…Welcome! I want you to know that God has not forgotten you. He is at work in the lives of those who seek Him.

local ER because I couldn’t even swallow. The diagnosis was a fungus infection on my tongue, esophagus and stomach. My esophagus has an ulcer and a hernia on it. They sent me home (after approx. 11 hours of care) with antibiotics and told me to see my primary care physician. Within 8 hours after going home I ended up in the VA ER where I ended up as an inpatient within 15 minutes.
