“Relics are treasured as something close to the divine.�

W

e think of relics in association with religious beliefs and practices – usually thought of as a part of the body of a saint or other venerated person in history. Venerate comes from the Latin “venerare,� which means literally to regard with reverence and respect. Relics can also be possessions of the venerated person, i.e., clothing, tools, jewelry, books. Many religions recognize relics including those based on Christianity such as the Catholic religion to Buddhism and even Islam.

to bring about miracles. By the Middle Ages, relics were a highly prized and highly priced commodity.

HISTORY AND SYMBOLS

A CLASS IN THEMSELVES

The ancient Greeks commonly had relics in veneration of heroes. These relics were not typically parts of the hero’s body but would most likely be possessions such as weapons, furniture or other objects used by the hero. Whereas a Christian relic may be thought to possess spiritual power, which can possibly prompt miraculous events, an ancient Greek relic would be an item thought to protect a person, a city or group of people.

The Roman Catholics use a classification system for relics.

First Class Relics These are either actual physical remains, such as hair or bone of a saint or martyr; or items associated with Christ such as pieces of the cross, clothing, etc.

Even though Buddha did not want relics collected, his body was reportedly divided into eight parts at his death. In Buddhism, relics are enshrined in vesicles called stupas. These stupas can be the basis of temples which are built around them. Relics of Buddha are said to promote enlightenment.

Second Class Relics These are items belonging to a saint such as a book, clothing, a rosary or other important possession.

In Christianity, it is reported that the earliest recorded exhumation was in 354 A.D., of Saint Babylas at Antioch. By 787, the practice of harvesting relics, so to speak, was in full swing. So much so that the Second Council of Nicaea (ecumenical council) put forth the decree that every altar was to contain a relic. Reportedly, this practice continues today in both Orthodox and Catholic churches. In Christianity, relics were indeed thought

Third Class Relics Commonly referred to an item that has been touched by a first or second class relic; typically a small piece of cloth.

HOUSING FOR A RELIC The home of a relic is called either a sepulcher or a reliquary. A sepulcher is located inside the Altar of a church or chapel. A reliquary can be any type of vessel in which the relic can be sealed, such as a metal box, a round case on a stand or even a small case somewhat similar to a locket. Some of the reliquaries are built

in the shape of the actual relic, such as in a body part. Whatever its shape or size, the reliquary must be sealed and cannot be exposed to the public without being enclosed.

FAMOUS RELICS The Shroud of Turin is the property of the Catholic Church and housed in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin, Italy. The shroud, thought to be Christ’s burial cloth, is fraught with controversy concerning its origination. This 14½ foot long, 3½ foot wide linen cloth bears the image of what is thought to be Jesus – an image of a man with wounds said to be consistent with crucifixion. In 1988, scientists performed tests that indicated the shroud was made between the years 1260 and 1390, thus eliminating the possibility of being an actual shroud used by Christ.

Not everyone believes these tests, as thousands of followers continue to undertake pilgrimages to the site.

In Naples, Italy, each year on September 19, the dried Blood of San Gennaro liquefies. This miracle also takes place at various other times throughout the year.

Although doubted by scientists, people believe this relic protects them from harm – with good reason. A couple times when the blood did not liquefy as anticipated, there followed the plague in 1527 and an earthquake in 1980. The town celebrates this event with a huge festival starting several days before with parades and activities including a cannoli eating contest.

Now that’s Italian!

Buddha’s tooth, a left canine, is said to be the only remains from Buddha’s cremation even though some say his remains were divided into eight parts. Nonetheless, there is a tooth that was thought to give the possessor the divine right to rule.

The tooth is housed at the Temple of the Tooth (we didn’t make this up) in Kandy, Sri Lanka.

The Chains of St. Peter are thought to be the chains that held the Apostle Peter when jailed in Jerusalem for preaching about Jesus. The story goes that before his trial his chains were released by an angel so that he could be set free. San Pietro in Vincoli basilica in Rome now houses the chains under the main altar. The English name of the church which was built around the relic is Saint Peter in Chains.

The Prato Cathedral in Tuscany, Italy, is the home of Mary’s Holy Belt. Apparently, the Virgin Mary, just before ascending into heaven, left behind a green wool belt in the hands of Apostle Thomas. The Prato Cathedral built a chapel for the relic along with an exterior pulpit from which to display it five times each year. Artists Michelozzo and Donatello built the pulpit.

RELICS ON THE MARKET According to Canon Law (No. 1190), “it is absolutely wrong to sell relics,” a practice referred to as “simony.” However, relics can be purchased in order to save them from being desecrated or destroyed. Furthermore, relics cannot be purchased for an amount that would do more good being used elsewhere, i.e., feeding the hungry.

Under no circumstances can relics be sold through a vehicle such as eBay where it can be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Somebody forgot to tell the folks who have relics listed for auction on eBay. Some even offer free shipping!

second class relic such as the tomb of St. Peter. In that case, one can make their own third class relic by taking a pilgrimage to a relic site.

A LITTLE THIEVERY…AND A STRONG ECONOMY During the Middle Ages, possessing a sanctioned relic was an important economic boost to a church and its surrounding town. Folks would flock to take a look, donate money and drop a few more funds into the local economy. The abbey of Conques was on a pilgrimage route, however, had no relic to entice pilgrims to stop in 866 A.D. So, the monks engaged in an undercover operation by sending one of their finest to the monastery at Agen where he infiltrated and patiently did whatever asked of him until he was assigned the all-important job of relic care.

It took 10 years, but the monk finally stole the relic and returned to Conques. Visitors soon flocked to the sight, enough so that a church had to be built to handle the flow.

Apparently, the fact that the relic was stolen was part of its charm.

As would be expected when something is considered to be of value, even if not monetary, relics are a target for thieves.

First class relics can be obtained through the Vicariate in Rome, but only for churches and priests with proof of their status and a letter from the Bishop. A private individual cannot, however, receive a first class relic from the Vicariate. There are some religious orders from which an individual can obtain a relic as well as through official gift stores associated with shrines.

Second and third class relics are not under the same types of restrictions and can be obtained from places such as Catholic bookstores, the saint’s shrine or religious order of the saint. Donations are accepted to cover the cost of the container which houses the relic. Also, remember that a third class relic is something like a piece of cloth that has been touched to a first or

I

n January 2009, Dr. Trempert began a Liberty Tax franchise in Monument to serve the people in the Tri-Lakes area. His desire was to provide a quality tax preparation service with a satisfaction and accuracy guarantee at an affordable price. He also wanted to provide employment for a limited few who wanted to learn how to prepare taxes and market the product.

He located his office behind Rosieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diner and Dominos Pizza across from the Wells Fargo Bank.

When Shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;N Out decided to close its doors, he wanted to see the business continue in the Monument Plaza Shopping center to provide a needed service convenient to the Tri-Lakes region. He moved the Shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;N Out operation into the Liberty Tax office and is continuing the quality service as

T

raditionally, invitations go out six to eight weeks before the weddingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that gives guests plenty of time to clear their schedules and make travel arrangements if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live in town. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a destination wedding, give guests more time and send them out three months ahead of time. Most couples also send out save-the-date cards. They go out at six to eight months.

In addition to providing shipping services, Shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;N Out has mailboxes for rent. Not only do they provide daily mail service, but they will store mail for clients who are out of town for an extended period. And your mail will always be kept in a secure place with the mailboxes accessible to you 24/7.

Check out their prices.

The stability achieved by combining Liberty Tax and Shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;N Out will provide clients with a sense of permanency and quality of service. Stop by and become acquainted with the staff. The tax and shipping advice is always free and is provided with sincere friendliness.

Please feel free to share with them any ideas on how they can make these services better for you.

Make your RSVP date two to three weeks before your wedding dateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;this will allow enough time for you to get a final head count to the caterer (one week before) and to finalize your seating chart.

If some guests still havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t responded by your deadline, give them a quick call and ask for their RSVPs (still via mail) so you have all their information.

Your wedding website should be included on your save-the-date. A simple â&#x20AC;&#x153;AmandaandJon.com,â&#x20AC;? is all you really need. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like (or if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have save-the-dates), you can include the web address in the formal invitations with an insertâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a small card that informs guests they can find more details online.

PROFESSIONAL CARPET CLEANING FOR HEALTH AND QUALITY

Including registry info on the wedding invitations or save-the-dates is still considered impolite because it can come off as though youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asking for gifts. Tell your wedding party, parents and close friends where you are registered, and let them fill guests in. Plus, most guests will

Commercial and Residential We also provide Commercial Janitorial Services

know that all that extra information (that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find on the invitation) is on your wedding website.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having an adults-only wedding, address your invitations correctlyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to each guest by name, not â&#x20AC;&#x153;and guest.â&#x20AC;?

Guests should understand that the invite is meant for only those mentioned. If you find that some reply with their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s names added, give them a call and explain that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having an adults-only wedding and that you hope they can still attend.

If you would like a particular dress code, include it in the lower right-hand corner of the invite or on a reception card; â&#x20AC;&#x153;black-tie,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;cocktail attireâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;casual attireâ&#x20AC;? are all acceptable.

You do not have to invite everyone as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;and guest.â&#x20AC;? If a guest isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t married or in a serious relationship, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly acceptable to invite them solo. Most guests will understand that without â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Guestâ&#x20AC;? or another name on the invitation means they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invited to bring someone with them. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always nice to invite everyone with a guest, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a small wedding, your family and friends should understand your reasoning. If a guest RSVPs with two and were invited solo, call them and explain that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having an intimate wedding and, unfortunately, you were not able to invite everyone with a guest. But if you realize that nearly everyone will be coupled up, extend a plus-one invitation to your few single friends and family.

The booklet on strokes describes the more common stroke causes and their treatment. People can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 902W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Recently a friend passed away from CreutzfeldtJakob disease. The total course of the disease took about 10 weeks, although some recall subtle changes earlier. This has been described as human mad cow disease, or very rapid Alzheimer’s. What can you tell us about it? -- T.H.

ANSWER: A subarachnoid hemorrhage is a special kind of stroke. It’s due to the bursting of an aneurysm on one of the brain arteries. Aneurysms are small, balloon-like protrusions of a brain artery. They’re weak spots. “Subarachnoid” indicates that the artery is below one of the brain’s coverings -- the arachnoid. It’s the same place where cerebrospinal fluid circulates. A rush of a large volume of blood into this space compresses the brain and compromises its function. The increased pressure on the brain adds to the threat of death.

Sometimes these weak bulges have been there from birth. In most instances, they arise during life. High blood pressure, smoking and excessive intake of alcohol contribute to their development. From 10 million to 15 million Americans have a cerebral aneurysm. Only a small percentage of these people die from it.

At the onset of bleeding, the involved person complains of a terrible headache, the worst he or she has ever had. The person then becomes unresponsive and slips into a coma. This sort of stroke has a high fatality rate, around 50 percent.

The prion might have been there for decades, however, before signs appear.

REVERSE MORTGAGES UNDER FIRE AGAIN

The biggest concern, however, is if only one spouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name is on the paperwork. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a reverse mortgage unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re age 62. If only one spouse is that age, then only that personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name goes on the paperwork. If that older spouse dies, the younger spouse can be evicted from the home if he or she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come up with all the money to immediately pay off the mortgage.

Consumers Union is asking for a number of safeguards: â&#x20AC;˘ Ensure that the loan is suitable for borrowers and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put them at risk. â&#x20AC;˘ Establish a ďŹ duciary responsibility to act in the best interest of the homeowner.

Mortgage origination costs can be astronomical, draining away the equity.

Scammers tie home-equity mortgages to other financial products. And, it learned, homeowners were found in default if they failed to pay property taxes or homeowners insurance.

ast year the AARP sued the Department of Housing and Urban Development because of tactics that were being used to scam seniors in reverse mortgages.

Now Consumers Union, the group that brings us Consumer Reports magazine, is asking for stricter oversight of reverse mortgages. While reverse mortgages can be a lifesaver in certain situations, for most senior homeowners that particular route is full of potential danger.

MOMENTS IN TIME THE HISTORY CHANNEL

â&#x20AC;˘ On July 28, 1868, following its ratification by the necessary three-quarters of U.S. states, the 14th Amendment, guaranteeing black Americans citizenship and all its privileges, is officially adopted into the U.S. Constitution. â&#x20AC;˘ On July 24, 1911, American archeologist Hiram Bingham gets his first look at Machu Picchu, an ancient Inca settlement in Peru.

Machu Picchu is believed to have been a summer retreat for Inca leaders, whose civilization was wiped out by Spanish invaders in the 16th century. The site itself stretches an impressive 5 miles. â&#x20AC;˘ On July 26, 1931, a swarm of grasshoppers descends on crops throughout Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota, devastating millions of acres. The swarm was said to be so thick that it blocked out the sun and that grasshoppers could be shoveled with a scoop. Cornstalks were eaten to the ground and fields left completely denuded. â&#x20AC;˘ On July 27, 1943, Joseph Stalin, premier and dictator of the Soviet Union, issues Or-

der No. 227, which came to be known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not one step backwardâ&#x20AC;? order, in light of German advances into Russian territory.

The order declared, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Panic makers and cowards must be liquidated on the spot. Not one step backward without orders from higher headquarters!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ On July 29, 1967, a fire on the USS Forrestal stationed off the coast of Vietnam kills 134 service members, injures hundreds and destroys 20 planes. The deadly fire on the U.S. Navy carrier began with the accidental launch of a F-4 Phantom jet rocket, which hit a parked A-4 Skyhawk jet. â&#x20AC;˘ On July 23, 1976, members of the American Legion arrive in Philadelphia to celebrate the bicentennial of U.S. independence.

Soon after returning home, many began suffering from a mysterious form of pneumonia, which would become known as Legionnairesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; disease. The final tally was 221 cases, including 34 deaths. â&#x20AC;˘ On July 25, 1985, Rock Hudson, Hollywood leading man, announces through a press release that he is suffering from acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Hudson was the first major celebrity to go public with such a diagnosis. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

y now, I’m sure you’ve all heard of the 5th Annual Car Show at Rodz Bar this weekend (Located at Pinz Bowling Center). What you probably don’t know, is the conspiracy to keep this humble correspondent out of the competition. I am the proud owner of a 1993 Subaru Impreza; that’s the silver edition. And while my car is tainted with rust and wear and tear, it’s still a beautiful vehicle on the inside. Beauty is not skin deep folks.

But will my car be welcomed at this weekends car show? No it will not.

I feel intimidated by the superiors to not bring my car. Apparently this competition is for “nice cars”.

Who’s to say my car is mean? It’s never done any intentional harm to another vehicle.

Why is it that an old beat up ’93 Subaru can not drive away from this car show victorious? Exactly, there is no reason. So you will join me now. I’ll bring the signs and pickets. I’ll bring the beverages. I’ll bring the message; which is that no car should feel intimidated to join such an event. And sure they’ll be awesome things such as giveaways, drink specials, a DJ, Live Music, and the all-important Burnout Competition. Yeah, you heard me, a BURNOUT competition; how barbaric. What kind of people want to sit around a bar getting incredible drink specials watching different high-powered sports cars spinning their tires in a Smokey glory?

Join me men, women, and children of the tri-lakes area. Bring your family, friends, and lovers. Bring your attitude and your swagger.

This car show (located at 855 HWY 105, Palmer Lake, CO) on July 28th is going down. Be there for the fall; for the everlasting memory of the time we took them down. It will be quite a day people, quite a handsome day.

New DVD Releases for Week of July 23, 2012 PICKS OF THE WEEK

“Silent House” (R) -- What could be a more boring, safe, non-terrorizing experience than cleaning out an old lake house?

How about a lake house that hasn’t been used in years, and has had every possible entry and exit nailed shut? This remake of a low-budget flick from Argentina puts Sarah (the ascending Elizabeth Olsen) in just such a creaky old home, trapped, in the dark, all alone except for the shadowy figures lurking just out of sight.

The whole movie is in real-time, seemingly done in a single shot that follows Sarah. No convenient intermissions, no scene transitions or alternate locations, just the audience trapped along with the victim. Those aching for terror and suspense can rent a room down at Silent House, where you can’t scream or the bad people will find you.

“The Deep Blue Sea” (R) -- This tragic and romantic film tells the story of Hester (Rachel Weisz), a woman trapped in a loveless marriage and powerless to stop her passionate romance with another man.

All beautifully shot in the rich tones of post-war London, the movie hands Weisz a serious role, and she hands back a serious performance.

Hester’s husband is a stuffy, wealthy old judge who supplies her with a life in the upper-crust, and not much else. Hester’s

other man is Freddie (Tom Hiddleston, Loki from “The Avengers”), a veteran pilot from the war now looking for work.

You may not like Hester, but you will feel something for her as she swims in a sea of passion and conflict.

“Jiro Dreams of Sushi” (PG) -- You don’t have to be a fan of sushi to get the appeal of this unique documentary. Jiro Ono is revered as the best sushi chef in the world, and a national treasure to the Japanese. He also works in a tiny restaurant in a subway station where people make reservations months in advance to see the master at work. The film is an engaging portrait of a modern ascetic, somebody who’s dedicated to a singular craft. It also shows the complicated relationship between the 85year-old Jiro and his oldest son, Yoshikazu, who is expected to fill his father’s shoes one day.

12

“My Way” (R) -- This war epic from Korea follows two young men from their rivalry as marathon runners to the battlefields of Mongolia and all the way to beaches of Normandy. One is a native-born Korean, the other is part of the Japanese occupation. When World War II swallows them both, they seem bound together as they go from soldiers, to prisoners to conscripts.

1. Wyoming 2. Vera 3. A knot 4. Edward R. Murrow 5. Resistant to authority 6. Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs 7. Headache 8. Early Rome, about 100 A.D. 9. Bram Stoker 10. Debra Winger (Nurse Zombie carrying a Poodle)

JULY 23, 2012

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re wise to let your Arian skepticism question a former adversary’s request to let bygones be bygones. Time will tell if he or she is trying to pull the wool over the Lamb’s eyes.

SPORTS QUIZ ANSWERS 1. Montreal’s Marquis Grissom in 1992 and Jose Reyes of the New York Mets in 2007.

2. Philadelphia’s Jimmie Foxx in 1933-34.

3. It was 1984.

4. Lew Alcindor, Bill Walton and Patrick Ewing.

5. The 1975-76 Philadelphia Flyers and the 1929-30 Boston Bruins each had a 20-game home winning streak.

6. Bobby Allison was 45 when he won the title in 1983.

7. Jimmy Connors (1978, ‘82, ‘83), John McEnroe (1979-81, ‘84) and Ivan Lendl (1985-87).

FLASH BACK ANSWERS 1. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford. All were singers and actors, appearing in films and entertaining in Las Vegas.

2. The Supremes, in 1966 on the Motown label. The song topped the charts for two weeks.

3. Spencer Davis Group, in 1966 and 1967. They originally called themselves the Rhythm and Blues Quartette.

4. “Link” Wray, in 1958. Wray was one of the first musicians to get new sounds out of electric guitars, including distortion and reverb.

5. “Bootzilla” in 1978. “The Pinocchio Theory,” at No. 6, was the only other Top 10 song for the band, an offshoot act of Parliament-Funkadelic.

6. Billboard was first published in 1894, but didn’t begin to chart music until the 1930s, when jukeboxes became popular.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Congratulations. Your hard work soon pays off with some well-deserved recognition. Meanwhile, that important personal relationship needs more attention from you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) That new person in your life seems trustworthy, but don’t turn him or her into a confidant just yet. Remember: The secret you don’t reveal is the one you won’t lose sleep over.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your kindness makes a difference in someone’s life. But by week’s end, a touch of Cancerian envy could create a problem with a colleague. Take care to keep it under control.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A new spurt of energy sends you roaring back into that challenging work situation. But be careful not to overdo it, or your sizzle could fizzle before your task is completed.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your practical sense helps you see the logic of being a bit more flexible with a workplace colleague. But you still have a ways to go before there’s a true meeting of the minds.

13

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) That decision you made might still have its detractors, but your supporters are growing.

Meanwhile, your personal life takes on some welcome new developments.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Matters of the mind intrigue the sage Sagittarian through week’s end. By then, you should feel more than ready to make room for pursuits of the heart.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The canny Capricorn can offer good counsel to others. But how about taking some advice yourself from a close friend or family member who is able and ready to help?

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new workplace opportunity offers a variety of challenges that you might find intriguing.

Best advice: Take things one step at a time so that you don’t feel overwhelmed.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A bid to revive a relationship that ended on a bitter note needs to be carefully thought out before you can even begin to consider plunging into a new emotional commitment.

BORN THIS WEEK: You enjoy being with people, and people love being with you. You would probably do very well in politics.

Do you ever go to the salon with a photo of the PERFECT cut and color, only to discover that it doesn't look quite so perfect on you?

yourself. Want to be Beautiful, Classic, Dramatic, Exotic, Glam or Goth? And choose between Day-Looks, Night-Looks or a look for a Special Occasion.

It's disappointing, isn't it? At times, it can even be embarrassing. Most women take pride in their appearance, and having an unflattering haircut can destroy their self confidence.

Before cutting your hair, deciding to grow it out long, or coloring it a different color, use this website to try on short, medium or long hairstyles and then choose from 20 different hair colors.

We can try perfume before we buy it. We can make sure that jeans are flattering before we purchase them. Unfortunately, we don't really know how a new cut and color will look on us until we leave the salon. At least that's how it used to be.

With the cost of makeup these days, it pays to experiment a little before you start laying the money down for products. You can try Lip Colors, Lip Liners and Lip Glosses. Plus you can make your teeth whiter. Then choose between 28 different blush colors….and add a beauty mark if you wish. Then last but not least add Headwear, Hair Clips, necklaces, Earrings, Eyeglasses, Sunglasses or Tattoos.

Virtual makeovers, which allow you to upload a photo to test drive hair and makeup trends, are growing in popularity.

Sounds good, right? The problem is that they aren't all free; some of them even require you to download software to your computer- and who wants to do that?

Here are some great free makeover websites that let you scan in a photo of yourself and then "try on" a whole new look! www.mylifetime.com/totalbeauty-makeover lets you create a free virtual makeover. See how the hottest Hollywood hairstyles look on you. Choose from almost 100 actors or actresses, and try on their hairstyle with one click. You can also try on hairstyles specifically designed for Proms and Weddings. Try different Updos and Hair Accessories too.

This virtual make-over works for men too. And you can even scan in a photo of your pet and try different Hollywood hairstyles on just for fun!

You can try different "looks" for

Another popular website to use to try on new looks is www.marieclaire.com They have a Virtual Hair Salon under the Hair and Beauty Tab. They also have a Virtual Body makeover under the Health and fitness tab. Scan in a photo of yourself and see what you would look like after losing 5, 10, 20, 30 or 40 pounds! Print the photo out and put it on your Fridge. You'll think twice before reaching in there for something unhealthy!

LIVING GOD’S GIFTS bringing Christ into your financial life

by Chuck Maher, CFP®

...BRING CHRIST INTO OUR FINANCIAL LIVES

A PLACE TO START

F

rom a financial stand point, the starting point is a personal balance sheet. In its simplest form a balance sheet lists all that you have, your assets, and from that is subtracted all that you owe - your liabilities. The resulting number is your net worth.

A strong balance sheet will have assets that are appreciating in value, low debt and a net worth that has been increasing over time. A weak balance sheet may very well be made up of assets that have high price tags and low resale value. The liabilities will be high, especially consumer and credit card debt. The resulting net worth will be low and over time getting lower.

Strong or weak, your personal balance sheet is a snap shot of the results of your financial choices. More

importantly, I believe it is a reflection of how we have chosen to use the blessings God has bestowed upon us.

In this materialistic time, it is very easy to find oneself trapped in consumerism and forgetting what is truly important, being a good steward of God’s gifts.
