DREAMS AND THEIR MEANINGS

BY CHRIS PUTMAN

VALUE NEWS BIXBY, JENKS & SAPULPA JANUARY 2021 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

M

any don’t realize that people get a lot done during their sleep. They tend to clean house, so to speak, of emotions that have been in play during their day. It’s an overnight therapy session of sorts, and it’s a time to file away those memories made. Most of the psychological work is done during those mysterious minutes call REM or rapid eye movement phase of sleep.

Bottom line, what is that nighttime movie being watched in our head? Basically, sleepers tend to use elements familiar in everyday life—places, people and settings—and add a pinch of the magical. Dream storylines often mix in symbolism into the recipe that often leaves the dreamer a little puzzled of its meaning upon waking. That’s when dream dictionaries tend to help decode what is being communicated.

According to dreamdictionary. org, dreams are a series of images, emotions and sensations that occur in minds as people sleep.

Dreams that take place during the low activity of sleep aren’t as impactful and are less likely to be remembered. Those that occur during the REM stage of sleep are the ones that are the stories sleepers tend to remember.

Some of the most common dream symbols are: • Snakes – These slithering reptiles usually don’t play a pleasant or welcome role in dreams.

Brains are hard-wired to have a fear of snakes, so they are usually role cast to be the bad guy in the story. It can communicate that there is a threat in awake

life or that there is a character someone would need to be aware and cautious of.

Teeth dreams – These dreams usually play out as teeth falling out, breaking off, being pulled or rotting. Teeth dreams may be exposing insecurities or fears of failure since teeth are connected to a person’s image. After all, what does a person show first when meeting someone? A smile.

Water – When water is the focus of a dream, it is more than likely representing emotions.

Falling – Some interpret falling to mean they are not feeling grounded in their lives.

Reportedly, this dream occurs about five times in an average person’s life.

Car – The road being driven is symbolic of the life path being traveled. The car represents the current mental and physical self in the dream: state of mind, condition of relationships, spiritual connection and/or physical condition.

Test – Test dreams are the most common dreams on record.

They carry with them a sense of pressure, a fear of running out of time or a sense of being unprepared.

Easy enough to guess, the emotions of these dreams are reflective of how someone may feel in their current state of affairs in life.

Naked – In these dreams, the sleeper discovers they have no clothes on in public and seek to cover themselves. Naked dreams send the message that the dreamer feels vulnerable or exposed and wants to cover the source of that emotion.

Chased – This kind of dream

can go one of two ways. Is the sleeper running from something about themselves?

Or is the dreamer running from something in their awake life they are trying to avoid.

Women or those who suffer from PTSD due to their innate vulnerability tend to experience chase dreams.

Some interesting facts about dreams are: • Babies don’t dream about themselves.

That starts at about age three.

• Blind people dream.

• Not all dreams are in color; some are in black and white.

• Dreams prevent psychosis.

Ninety percent of dream recall evaporates within the first 60 seconds of waking. Journaling dreams helps a sleeper develop the ability to remember their dreams and maybe even experience richer dreams when they jot down what they can recall upon waking. It is told that once this skill is developed, then a dreamer can write multiple pages about their dreams.

Some dreams are warnings for future events that, if heed is not taken, might otherwise threaten the dreamer.

“I had a dream that my husband and I were traveling, and I had an unsettling like something was going to happen,” Abiding Harvest Worship Minister Terri Dietrich said. “We were on a winding road, and it was raining a lot, and I really felt unsettled.”

Nothing happened in the dream, but the emotions of it were very disconcerting to Dietrich, so she just prayed. A month later, the Dietrichs did, in fact, go on

vacation. They were in the hill country of Texas and driving on a winding road with no shoulder, and a steep cliff drop off. It was dusk, and visibility was limited, and that same feeling came back to her that she felt in her dream. She

cautioned to her husband, who was driving, to slow down.

“You need to slow down RIGHT NOW,” Dietrich said, reiterating for a second time.

He did. They came around a curve, and a huge bull was standing in their lane. Because they had slowed down just before the curve, they were able to navigate around the deathtrap in the road.

“If we had been flying at the rate of speed we had been driving, we would have hit him,” Dietrich said.

Dreams can uncover the emotions that are being processed and dealt with. They often use symbols to help bring an understanding of the emotions of the dreamer.

“The dream is one I’d never had until I became a mom,” Perren Day Care Owner Jerri Ann Perren said.

“Tornado season began soon after Melanie was born. In the dream, there is an approaching tornado, and I’m in the house alone with her. I got into our garaged car with her in the backseat and laid across her. I could feel the air pressure change and feel and (continued page 34) (continued onon next page)

TULSA COUNTY ASSESSOR JOHN A. WRIGHT MAKES IT EASIER FOR YOU TO CLAIM YOUR PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS!!!

You may file for your 2021 property tax exemptions at the Tulsa County Assessor’s Office. We are located on the second floor of the Tulsa County Administration Building at Sixth and Denver in Downtown Tulsa. In addition, the locations listed below are available, on the days noted, for you to file the following exemption applications and other documents. For questions, please call our office at 918-596-5100. You can also visit our website at assessor.tulsacounty.org to obtain more information or to download forms.

Homestead Exemption - To be approved for the year 2021, the Single Homestead Exemption must be applied for by March 15, 2021 or within 30 days from the issue date of an assessment notice. You need to apply if your Real Estate property has changed ownership during 2020 or you have not previously applied for homestead exemption.

If filed after March 15th, the single homestead exemption will be allowed for the following year, 2022. Your deed must be notarized before January 1st and filed in the County Clerk’s Office by February 1st to allow the exemption in the current year. If you did not move or change your deed in any way and have previously filed for the exemption on your residence, you are not required to re-file an application.

Additional Homestead Exemption - To be approved for the year 2021, your gross household income must be $20,000 or less during 2020. You must file between January 2nd and March 15th or 30 days from the issue date of an assessment notice. To file you will need to bring proof of income for 2020 such as all 1099 and W2 forms from all income sources. The additional homestead exemption requires annual filing, except persons who are 65 years of age or older or who are permanently disabled.

Senior Property Valuation Limitation - To be approved for the year 2021, you must be 65 years of age before January 1, 2021 and have a gross household income of $68,600 or less during 2020. If you qualify for this exemption, you must file between January 2nd and March 15th or 30 days from the issue date of an assessment notice. To file you will need to bring proof of income for 2020, such as all 1099 and W2 forms from all income sources. Seniors who have qualified are not required to re-file.

Veterans - There is an exemption for veterans honorably discharged from active service in any branch of the Armed Forces of the United States or Oklahoma National Guard and who have been certified by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs to have one hundred percent (100%) permanent, service-connected disability or be the surviving spouse of such head of household. Exemption is for the full amount of the fair cash value of the homesteaded property. The unmarried spouse of a veteran killed in action may also qualify for an exemption.

Agricultural Renditions - You may file your 2021 agricultural renditions including your Agricultural Tax Exemption Permit. Renditions must be filed by March 15th to avoid penalty.

Business Renditions - Business owners must file a 2021 business personal property rendition by March 15th to avoid penalty.

Manufactured Home Renditions – Personal property manufactured home renditions (you do not own the land) must be filed by March 15th to avoid penalty. To have your Manufactured Home assessed or to file for the homestead exemption, you will need to bring the Title or Registration for the Manufactured Home.

Manufactured Home Exemption – To be approved for 2021, you must be at least 62 years of age or older, the head of household, and own and reside in a manufactured home on land you do not own. Other qualifications will apply. For questions or more information, please call 918-596-5142.

Property Tax Refund – If your gross household income from all sources (except gifts) is $12,000 or less, and you are at least 65 years of age or totally disabled, you may be eligible for a property tax refund by filing state form 538-H. Filing deadline is June 30th.

ATTENTION SENIOR CITIZENS! The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has changed the household median income in Tulsa, Osage, Creek, Rogers, and Wagoner counties. This change will impact senior citizens’ ability to qualify for a Property Valuation Limitation for Ad Valorem tax purposes. For 2021, the new maximum annual gross household income is $68,600. Seniors who are qualified are not required to re-file.

To be approved for year 2021, you must be 65 years of age or over as of January 1, 2021 and have a gross household income of $68,600 or less during 2020. You must file between January 2nd and March 15th or within 30 calendar days from the issue date of Notice of Increase in Valuation of Real Property. To file you will need to bring proof of income from 2020, such as Social Security, 1099 and W2 forms from all income sources.

Please contact the County Assessor’s Office in the county you live in to see if you qualify and apply for this benefit.

Jeff Galloway’s: Train for a 5K/10K Small efforts add up to big rewards!

O

kay, so many of us have been indoors and gained a few unwanted pounds over the past few months. One of the best, lowest-cost ways, to improve your lifestyle and lose weight is to set a goal and train for a 5K or 10K. Realistically, a 5K is a great distance for a beginner; its 3.1 miles and you can prepare in just two months. We found Jeff Galloway’s training schedule to be efficient and effective. Jeff has worked with over 300,000 runners of all ages and abilities and is the inventor of the Galloway RUN-WALK-RUN method. His innovative ideas have opened up the possibility of running and completing a marathon to almost everyone. Philosophically, Jeff believes that we are all designed to run and walk – and he keeps finding ways to bring more people into the positive world of exercise.

information? Jeff Galloway’s website, JeffGalloway.com, is host to Jeff ’s training and coaching programs, products and services, retreats, training groups and more.

How to use the 5K training schedule: Consider using this fifteen-week 5K run training schedule as your guide. It’s tailored for beginners or anyone who wants to complete a 5K race. You can also adapt it for a 5K walk.

This 5K training schedule includes a mix of running, walking and resting.

This combination helps reduce the risk of injury, stress and fatigue while boosting your enjoyment of physical activity. Remember, you can run or walk slowly to help your body adjust to this 5K training schedule.

If you’d like to choose a different exercise instead of walking on the walking days, you can try cross-training and do alternative exercises such as water running,

VALUE NEWS BIXBY, JENKS & SAPULPA JANUARY 2021 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

cycling or rowing.

Under this 5K run training schedule, you’ll spend some of your time walking. For instance, during week one on run/walk days, you’ll run for 15 seconds and then walk for 45 seconds, repeating that cycle for 15 minutes.

As the weeks progress, you’ll gradually increase time spent running and reduce the time spent walking. Or you can always walk, if you’re adapting the training for a 5K walk.

One day a week — Friday on this 5K schedule — is a day of rest from exercise. This gives your muscles time to recover. On Sunday, you can either take another day of rest or enjoy a walk for as long as you’d like. Also take a day of rest the day before your race. On this 5K run training schedule, race day falls on Saturday of your fifteenth week.

5K/10K Training Schedules • Don’t wait to take walk breaks. By alternating walking and running from the beginning, you speed recovery without losing any of the endurance effect of the long one.

• Be sure to do the running portion slow enough at the beginning of every run (especially the long run) so that you’ll feel tired but strong at the end. The conservatism will allow you to recover faster.

• Every other day you can cross-train instead of walking. Cross country ski machines, water running, cycling, and any other mode which you find fun and interesting (but non-

pounding) will improve overall fitness.

• Stay conversational on all of your exercise sessions. This means that you should be exerting yourself at a low enough level that you could

talk. It’s okay to take deep breaths between sentences, but you don’t want to “huff and puff ” between every word.

• As the runs get longer, be sure to keep your blood sugar boosted by

eating an energy bar (or equivalent) about an hour before exercise.

Let’s be honest, it can be quite dull and uneventful following the same monotonous routine day in and day out. Trying new things and enhancing experiences that already make you happy helps us relieve monotony, vanquish fears, boredom and allow us to expand our minds and learn.

If you’re stuck in the same old routine, it might be time to try something new.

What should I do today? No ideas? Here’s a list of ideas (some common and some unique) that just might help! Everything listed here is something you can easily do no matter where you live, and even on a tight budget!

Guardian Angels

BY CHRIS PUTMAN

A

ngels are often depicted as fat little babies with wings that are sent into individual’s lives to give enlightenment, guidance, and protection. Not a very good image for building a person’s confidence in their wisdom and supremacy. As it turns out, however, they are very physically superior spiritual beings that are highly intelligent, very powerful and have specific jobs in the Kingdom.

Angels have ranking in their hierarchy and with that rank

goes the job to which they are assigned. According to www.compellingtruth.org/ types-of-angels.html there are two basic types of angels mentioned in the Bible, those that serve God and those that have fallen.

Seraphim Isaiah of the Bible had a vision, and he saw angels. He described them this way, “…I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!’” Isaiah 6:1-3.

It seems this class of angel has the job of guarding the throne, chatting with each other the praises of God, and come equipped with a means of transportation.

Assumedly, if they have wings, then they can fly.

Cherubim Ezekiel 1:5-14 describes these beings in detail. They are explicitly

designed for their jobs. Ezekiel described them as having human likeness, four faces and four wings.

Their soles were like a calf ’s foot, had human-like hands under their wings, their wings touched one another and they sparkled like bronze. They could move forward without turning. One face was like a lion, one like an ox, one an eagle and one a human. Each had two wings and they could move to and

fro darting about so quickly, they looked like a flash of lightning.

Ezekiel went on to say that when they flew, their wings sounded like many waters.

Genesis 3:24 states that God stationed in the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword and assigned the task to guard the way to the tree of life. It states that the angel could navigate in any direction without turning, making it a well-equipped and capable guard.

Archangel Two archangels were mentioned in the Bible by name. One was Michael, and his job was to be a warrior. In Revelation 12:7, it states Michael and his angels were fighting in heaven against an enemy and its angels.

A second archangel mentioned by name was Gabriel.

Communication was his line of work. Being the lead angel in that area, he delivered messages from God to humans. He had a message for Zechariah. In Luke 1:19, it states, “And the angel answered him, ‘I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.’” Who couldn’t use some good news?

Angels On the lower end of the food chain are angels. It appears there are two kinds, the ones that wear the white hats – the good guys – and the ones in the black hats. The Bible is a little vague about this general angel category, but it appears these angels are not referred to by name. Focusing on the good guys, their main job is to minister to God’s people with a variety of errands such as delivering messages from God, executing miracles, and at times facilitating acts of judgment. These angels appear to individuals using a human form. Many times, folks don’t recognize they are dealing

with an angel while the interaction is taking place. One Broken Arrow woman had one of those interactions.

On her high school senior trip Terri Dietrich, now the Worship Minister at Abiding Harvest Church, was with her classmates enjoying a Colorado ski trip. She had never skied before and was developing her navigational ability on the bunny slopes. After a full day, Dietrich thought she’d sneak in one more run before having to meet by dark the group on the bus headed for home. Things got dicey when she jumped off the tram at the wrong slope, the black slope.

The black slope is for the most advanced skier and is the steepest run on the mountain, a straight drop. With no one around to help, way over her head in skill level, and now at dusk, Dietrich was terrified.

All alone on the steep drop, Dietrich squatted on her skies, then onto the snow, and scooted down the mountain inch by inch on her bottom. The trek downhill

didn’t go well due to the nearvertical grade of the incline, and she inadvertently landed in a grove of trees. Stuck, Dietrich started to panic as darkness began to ensue.

About that time, a striking male skier skied up behind her and came to a showy halt throwing a spray of snow on her. He asked, “Do you need help?”

“Ye-e-es!” Dietrich replied, clearly shaken.

She explained she got off on the wrong slope, was lost, and now stuck in trees and needed help getting to her bus, or they would leave her behind.

The handsome stranger, whom she assumed was a resort guide, told her she was on the wrong side of the mountain, but he would follow her from behind and guide her back to the proper destination.

She fell a time or two along the way, but her now personal chaperon instructed her to lean one way or the other to help keep balance.

back, but he encouraged her along the way to keep going, that she could make it.

Finally, they crested a hill, and the next clearing revealed the resort and the pickup location of her classmates. Seeing she had made it back safely, she turned back to her guide to thank him for his help, and there was no one in sight. Later, on her ride back on the bus, she pondered on the puzzling disappearance of her helpful stranger. It was then she concluded that he must have been an angel.

“I knew I was really taken care of just then,” Dietrich said.

Another occurrence of angel interaction was with Dayna Griffith, Abiding Harvest Office Administrator and Treasurer.

Griffith was walking through a retail parking lot deep in thought about the tasks of the day when a van drove alongside her with the side door slid open. A woman’s arm was extended with a coin in her hand. The woman said in a coaxing voice, “Here, take 26 |

it!” Griffith was blinded by the sunlight, so the van looked dark inside, but she could see that this was the only woman inside, and there were several men. Griffith, as a knee-jerk reaction, reached out to receive what was being handed to her. Although she was walking alone, and no one was around her, a voice from behind rang out, “Leave her alone!”

When that warning resounded, she saw the men inside the van start to panic and shouted for the driver to speed off.

It wasn’t until Griffith got safely into her car and digested what had just happened when she understood that she was just protected from possible abduction.

Upon that realization, she began to shake from fear and the intensity of what she had been spared.

Living in a complex world riddled with riots, natural disasters, violence, and danger at every turn, who wouldn’t want to believe God has heavenly beings in the background of life helping to protect, guide, and direct believers down the proper paths of life?

Phoenix Seminary Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies and prolific author Wayne Grudem stated in his article titled “Angels in the Bible: What Do We Actually Know About Them?” found at zondervanacademic.com/blog/ biblical-facts-angels, points out some interesting facts found in the scriptures about angels.

Some of Grudem’s findings may prove wrong preconceived ideas about angels.

1. Angels are not omnipresent.

It mentions that the angels go to and fro. An example is mentioned in Luke 1:26, “In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth…”

2. There is no Biblical proof that people are assigned a guardian angel. It is known that angels do protect individuals in Psalm 91:1112, “He will give His angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.” That’s comforting. Here’s to hoping they hang out with humans on a daily basis.

3. Angels don’t marry.

Matthew 22:30 states, “For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.”

4. Angels are given great power, much more than man. Psalm 103:20 indicates that power in, “Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.”

5. Angels refuse human worship. In Revelation 19:10, it states, “At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that!

I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus.

Worship God!”

Keeping your dryer vents clean is important for a number of reasons which include not only energy savings but safety.

A dryer works by pushing out hot, moist air so your clothes can dry. If your dryer vent to the outside becomes blocked by lint, the air will not be able to expel moisture like it was designed to do. The result will be trapped moisture that takes more heat energy to evaporate.

In Search of Spirits with T.O.P.S. (Tulsa Oklahoma Paranormal Studies)

BY MACY GOODNIGHT

ith the changing leaves and a lingering chill in the air, the coming of Fall can conjure eerie inspiration.

October is a time when many find entertainment in exploring the unknown, but for some, it is a year-round endeavor. Would you seek to find spirits in the dark?

Co-founders and lead investigators Rolando and Amanda Bustos, and Jeff Johns have been investigating the paranormal together since 2004, and became T.O.P.S., or Tulsa Oklahoma Paranormal Studies, in 2016. Their group has completed nearly 100 investigations in Oklahoma and surrounding states, and they share over 60 years of combined experience in the field of study between them.

Their focus is to alleviate fear and provide sound answers for their clients, while seeking proof of paranormal activity. The team has investigated many residential and commercial buildings, including the world-famous Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa. Each of their members offers a unique perspective to their team and have individualized reasons for their commitment to the work.

Amanda attributes her earliest ghostly experience to when she was three years old. Her grandfather had passed away, and it was a short time after that her mother found small Amanda sitting on the bathroom counter, having no way of getting up there by herself. When asked how she managed the feat, Amanda said that her grandfather lifted her up there. “My mother explained to me that my grandfather had passed away and couldn’t have Left: The T.O.P.S.

readings, and a “spirit box,” that theoretically allows for entities to communicate by manipulation of radio frequencies, creating an audible message. All of these tools are used carefully and objectively, to ensure all evidence is validated.

Once a client has contacted the group, they conduct a preliminary investigation to establish claims and clients’ needs, as well as obtain baseline readings. Studies are done at night when it is quieter,

and there is less disruption or interference. The team attempts to “debunk” claims and to find realistic causes for them. However, if replication and evidence prove irrefutable, then they issue it as proof that something paranormal is actually happening.

One investigation that the team remembers vividly was a residence where the client’s daughter was afraid to sleep in her own room. During the preliminary interview, they asked for specific hotspots in the home to cover, and set up their equipment accordingly.

“There is a theory that entities can attach themselves to things, like antiques or land,” said Amanda. “There were some old dolls that happened to be in the little girl’s room.” Using the dolls as a trigger to instigate some kind of activity, Amanda said out loud, “Hey, I’m playing with these dolls, what do you think?” Upon reviewing the audio and video later, she heard a response to her question on both recordings that was not audible at the time of asking. Clearly and unequivocally, she heard a woman’s voice reply, “DO NOT TOUCH IT!” “I don’t get creeped out very easily,” said Amanda, “but that did it for me.”

Today’s Science: Solutions for Back Pain What is Kyphoplasty?

Does it Relieve Chronic Back Pain?

Why are Vertebral Compression Fractures (VCF) important?

A vertebral compression fracture is often the first sign of osteoporosis, but they are usually missed by imaging. For example, 86% of VCFs are missed on advanced CT. VCFs are also associated with high rates of death if left untreated. A recent analysis of the entire Medicare data set showed that for patients with a VCF, only 15% will survive 10 years. However, the same analysis showed that kyphoplasty more than doubles the survival rate of these patients.

What is Kyphoplasty?

• • • •

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that quickly repairs vertebral compression fractures (VCF) and restores structural integrity to broken vertebral bone. Kyphoplasty is an outpatient procedure that uses a cavity creation device (usually a balloon) to create a space in the broken vertebra which is then filled with a special bone cement to stabilize the fracture and reduce pain.

How does Kyphoplasty help?

The goal of kyphoplasty is to restore the broken vertebra to a more normal height and to fix the pain caused by the fracture. When a vertebral fracture occurs, it most commonly presents as an acute worsening of chronic lower back pain. Many times the patient’s chronic back pain is getting worse, but it’s actually due to a recent fracture. Many of our patients experience immediate pain relief following kyphoplasty. It can help relieve pain by stabilizing the fracture. Improved mobility results because of decreased pain levels.

What happens during the Kyphoplasty procedure?

•

• Needle Placement - Under IV sedation and using x-ray guidance, a

pencil-sized needle is placed through a small (quarter-inch) incision and a working channel is made in the fractured vertebral body.

Cavity Created – A balloon is generally used to create a space and to reduce the fracture to more anatomic alignment.

Devices Removed – The balloon is deflated, leaving a cavity in the vertebral body.

Fracture Stabilized – The cavity is filled with bone cement to stabilize the fracture. Once filled, the incision is closed.

End of Procedure – With the process completed, an internal cast is now in place. This stabilizes the vertebral body and provides rapid mobility and pain relief.

The procedure takes about 30 minutes and has a short recovery time, usually a couple of days for most patients.

After Kyphoplasty

Patients treated with balloon kyphoplasty have significantly better outcomes in terms of pain reduction, quality of life, function and mobility both initially at one month, and throughout the months and years after treatment. 94% have complete or significant pain reduction and 67% have improved mobility. While kyphoplasty is highly effective for improving mobility and decreasing pain in patients with spinal fractures, it does not treat the underlying osteoporosis itself.

It’s important for your doctor to treat the underlying bone disease (osteoporosis) causing the fractures. This decreases the risk of future fractures and generally makes spinal fractures less frequent.

Kyphoplasty vs. Vertebroplasty

Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are both medical procedures designed to treat pain associated with vertebral compression fractures. The main difference is vertebroplasty does not create a cavity and there is higher likelihood of cement leakage. Kyphoplasty has a significantly lower complication rate compared to verteboplasty and more than doubles the 10-year survival rate in patients over 65.

Dr. Webb – Kyphoplasty Expert When it comes to kyphoplasty, Dr. Webb is one of the most experienced physicians in the US. Dr. Webb has performed thousands of kyphoplasty procedures and has the experience necessary to safely perform kyphoplasty. In fact, he also teaches other physicians how to safely and effectively perform the procedure. Here are a few facts about Dr. Webb’s kyphoplasty expertise: • He performed over 120 kyphoplasties during his training (fellowship).

• Was one of the first physicians to perform kyphoplasty in Oklahoma.

• Was a principal investigator in the EVOLVE trial,

6550 E 71st St #200 Tulsa, OK 74133

the largest ever on-label study of kyphoplasty in Medicare patients with vertebral fractures with 350 patients enrolled over 24 sites across the US. • The first in Oklahoma and one of a few in the nation to establish a full-service outpatient clinic focused on medically treating the underlying causes of osteoporosis in patients with VCF..

• The highest level of experience in the Tulsa area with 300-400 fractures treated per year.

• Continues efforts to refine vertebral fracture treatment, consulting for numerous medical device companies and teaching other physicians how to perform this life-saving procedure.

hear the wind, but we were safe, and the dream ended.”

Perren was able to interpret the meaning of the dream. She concluded the dream meant she was aware that she was responsible for someone else in her life and her child’s safety was more important to her than her own.

The Bible records many individuals who dream prophetically, and those dreams materialized into a reality.

Mother of three and contributing author of a book about the adoption process, “Joy Will Come: Exchange Shame for Redemption,” Bethany Pepin had a recurring dream starting when she was just a child. As a prolific dreamer, Pepin realized over time that she was having prophetic dreams.

“There was a little girl sitting in the second pew of a church,” Pepin said. “I was standing on a stage speaking, and she was the only one in the sanctuary I could focus on. She had a big bow on her head 34 |

family was completed. Not so.

An opportunity presented itself sooner than she thought.

Sure enough, a baby was conceived in the extended family in unfortunate circumstances.

Pepin and her husband stepped up and offered to adopt the baby in the sixth month of pregnancy.

The baby was born, was a girl, and as she matured, she grew beautiful long wavy brown hair that Pepin ties up in a big bow on her head.

This baby was her second child. A noted detail in her journal was that the child she saw in her dream sat in the second pew, clearly symbolism that this baby would be the second Pepin child of the three girls she now raises.

If a sleeper wants to develop the recollection of the nighttime stories that play in their heads, take Pepin’s advice, keep a journal next to the bed and jot down every detail recallable. Author of “Seeing the Voice of God,” and

Dreams can uncover the emotions that are being processed and dealt with. They often use symbols to help bring an understanding of the emotions of the dreamer.

“I started journaling when I was about 13 years old, and I mention this little girl in the first journal entry I ever made,” Pepin said. “I said that I didn’t know who she was, but I knew that one day I would be able to help her.”

Even before marriage, Pepin often talked about adopting a baby to blend in with her own natural children. She assumed she would have that opportunity after her
