HEALTH Transformation MOST MAJOR PHARMACYS NOW OFFER FREE FLU SHOTS. GET YOUR ASAP!
Everyone age 6 months and older needs to get a flu shot (vaccine) every year. The seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and others from the flu. For many people, the seasonal flu is a mild illness. But sometimes, the flu can be dangerous or even deadly. The flu: Is linked to serious infections like pneumonia (“noo-MOHN-yah”) Can make existing health problems worse (for example, long-term heart or lung disease) Can lead to hospitalization or death Flu vaccines can help prevent people from getting sick with the flu – and reduce the risk of hospitalizations and death caused by the flu.
The flu spreads easily from person to person. When you get a flu vaccine, you don’t just protect yourself. You also protect everyone around you. When do I need to get the seasonal flu vaccine? It’s best to get a flu vaccine by the end of October if you can. After you get the vaccine, it takes about 2 weeks for your body to develop protection against the flu. That’s why it’s a good idea to get the vaccine before the flu may start to spread in your community. If you don’t get the vaccine in October, it’s not too late. Getting the vaccine later can still protect you from the flu. Keep in mind that flu season can last as late as May.

NEWARK RESIDENTS ADVISED TO RUN WATER THROUGH FAUCETS DURING WATER MAIN BREAK REPAIRS TO BE COMPLETED BY END OF WEEK Newark, NJ – October 31, 2017 – Mayor Ras J. Baraka and Newark Public Safety Director Anthony F. Ambrose advised residents today in and around the 200-block of North 5th Street, where a water main break occurred yesterday, to run water through faucets during the repair period. The repairs are expected to be completed by the end of this week following the water main break that closed streets at North 5th Street from 4th Avenue to 6th Avenue and Park Avenue from 1st Street to 6th Street due to flooding yesterday. During the repairs, tap water may be temporarily discolored. Allowing water to run through faucets until it becomes clear is expected to remedy any residual discoloration. Residents are cautioned about washing clothing if the water is discolored because it may result in stains. “It is important that Newark residents are informed about public safety activities occurring in their neighborhoods,” Director Ambrose said. For questions or additional information, kindly contact the Water Department at: (973) 733-6303.

RELATIONSHIP Transformation
10 CHRISTIAN DATING TIPS 1) Do not be unequally yoked. Take 2 Cor. 6:14 seriously. Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? (NLT) If you are dating someone who doesn’t have a personal relationship with Christ, you are playing with fire. If you fall in love, what will you do? Don’t let the relationship progress to a physical point and then hope you can cut it off later.
2) Put on the armor of God daily. You need all the help you can get in today’s world. Are you spending time with God? Do you depend on Him to meet your needs of love and security? You can resist temptation if you put on the whole armor of God (Eph. 6:10-20).
3) Put obedience over passion. Not everything we do that’s right, feels good. In fact, usually the opposite is true. It feels incredibly good to give in to passion. But, the authority of Christ needs to take precedence over your physical drives. Society tells you to give in to the moment. Christ tells you to be obedient to His word.
4) Physical expression must be appropriate. Physical touch/intimacy should correspond with commitment. This doesn’t mean anything goes if you are engaged. Physical touch should be in the context of a meaningful relationship, not reduced to satisfaction of personal need.
5) Limits must be set mutually. Both partners should take responsibility for setting limits. Mutual boundary keeping reflects maturity.
6) Examine your personal motives. What is your motivation -- power and control, gratifying your own ego, meeting a selfish need, or genuine affection? 7)
Is there too much physical and too little other?
If the social, emotional, spiritual dimensions are missing or lacking, you are out of balance. If you can’t stand the person but have a great physical relationship, rethink the relationship.
8) Less is better. If one person is uncomfortable with any type of physical expression, don’t do it. You should respect and honor each other. Don’t push a date to do anything that makes him/her feel uncomfortable.
9) Be guided by love versus lust. Love is the fruit of the Spirit. From love comes self-control. Operate in love, not lust.
10) Allow the Holy Spirit to direct and lead you. If you feel convicted of certain behaviors, stop doing them.

See everyone as a unique masterpiece from God. (Genesis 1:27) Ask them questions. Learn their stories. If they are hurting, comfort them. If they are rejoicing, be excited and happy with them. Celebrate your differences. Speak words of encouragement. Accept them as they are without trying to change them. (Transformation is the work of the Holy Spirit). Let them know that you are a safe person, that no matter how intimate you are as friends, you would never betray their trust. Be gently persistent. Call, text, Facebook, or invite them for a meal.

They take an investment in time and energy as well as social skills, which can be learned. There must be willingness to understand and work with your partner to meet each others needs and understand each others perspective, so that you can find that place of connection where both of you are fulfilled; not just for your sakes, but for your family and your children as well. Pastor Rick's mission is to help repair the breach caused by broken relationships, which is devastating families, hurting our children, and destroying our society.
