I became a man, I gave up

"For now we see in a mirror
dimly" is a piece of scripture
that lets us know that we are
not nearly as wise as we
think we are! There is so
much about God that we do
not know or understand!
The Good News is that,
one day all those who
profess Jesus Christ as their
Lord and Savior will come
to a full knowledge of Him
and His love..
When we don't understand
what is happening around us
we should trust God! He
knows everything and
understands the bigger
picture of what is truly
happening around us.
In your darkest times grab
hold to what is real and'
lasting, not on temporary
"ci'-ick fixes" that may seem
to help in the short term, but
never last beyond the dawn.
Grab hold of your faith in
God that's trusts Him with
your everything; the hope
that you know you have in
His power, His wisdom and
His compassion, and the
love that you know He has
for you, love that will never
let you down.
When life seems difficult
and hard; when your future
looks as clear as mud. grab
hold of God and allow Him
restore your faith, hope and
love!
The closer you get to God
the clearer life becomes until
the day that we are called to
His Heavenly Home forever.
Remember that God loves
you!...and so do I

Recycling newspaper is a great way to^ — ,
reduce the amount of solid waste your /O V\6CyCl3Dl6
home adds to the local landfill, but it's
easy to become overrun by newsprint if you don't have an organized system
Your newspaper recycling system doesn't need to be elaborate, but it should help
you stay organized to encourage you rather than discourage you from the act of
recycling.
Step 1
Find out whether your town or city offers curbside newspaper recycling and, if so,
how the recycling should be prepared for pick-up. Some towns give residents
recycling containers free of charge. Others want you to bundle the newspaper in
paper or plastic bags or tie the bundles with twine. Whatever your town requires,
do it. Otherwise, you'll be left with a load of newspapers on your curb.
Step 2
Purchase an inexpensive rectangular basket or other newspaper-
shaped container that goes with your decor, and place it near the
area where you normally read the newspaper If you curl up on the
couch with the newspaper and cup of coffee every morning, put
v '• your recycling basket near the couch. Then, toss the newspaper in
the basket when you're done reading it. Keeping the newspapers
j stacked in an orderly fashion will make bundling much easier when
[ the time comes.
Step 3
Keep a crate, rubber container or your town recycling container in a
closet or in the garage. If keeping a stack of newspapers in your
living room isn't your cup of tea, make sure you keep some sort <^f
newspaper recycling receptacle in an easy-to-access '
location so you can toss your newspapers there conve-
niently to avoid the temptation to just throw your newspa-
pers in the regular garbage.
Step 4 ^
Bundle your newspapers in paper or plastic (paper is 4)
obviously better) grocery bags, or stack them and wrap
them in bundles with twine in towns that require you to do
so. If you're lucky enough to live in a town that
provides recycling containers, you may just have
to pick up the bin containing the loose newspa-
pers and place it by the curb on collection day. (-^
Step 5
Put your kids in charge of recycling the newspa-
pers. It will teach them how to be more conscipus
about generating solid waste and encourage
Afhem to take care of the earth.
