Special Guest Speaker Maureen Pratt September 18, 2008

"Back to School: What Do We Learn from Our Illnesses?"
"In this workshop, we'll explore the ways in which we can put on
wisdom while living with chronic illness -- and take the lessons to
others in love. Maureen Pratt is a speaker, syndicated columnist,
and author of "Peace in the Storm: Meditations on Chronic Pain &
Illness." She is also a life-long chronic illness patient with
multiple autoimmune illnesses, including lupus, Hashimoto's
thyroiditis, vasculitis, and cardiovascular disease as well as
scoliosis. To get a preview of Maureen's approach to faith and
illness and pain, see her segment on "The Word in the World"
television program, which aired on TBN on July 9, at
www.wordnet.tv (go to the link to watch programs and click on
"Living with Pain"). Maureen's website is

EVENING presentation.

"Passed by the U.S.
Congress in November 1998, the
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
requires operators of online services or Web sites to
obtain parental consent prior to the collection, use,
disclosure, or display of the personal information of
children 13 years of age or younger.
Shepherd of Hope
Ministry is
concerned about the safety and privacy of all its
users, particularly children. I recommend that you
talk to your parents or legal guardian about your
situation. If that is not possible, then please
contact a pastor or Christian counselor in your area.
Helpful Resources:
Get some counseling right now
by contacting AACC for a referral to a Christian
counselor near you at

or the nearest mental health agency."
Disclosure:
Those who know me, know that I am health conscious -- I do
what I can to be as healthy as I can be... and that includes
eating right, exercising and doing all I am able given my
own limitations. I will be holding chats on
health-related topics and things you can do to feel better
living with pain, depression and anxiety. However, because
I am this sites administrator, and a distributor of Juice
Plus+ whole food nutrition, I want to be clear up front
that this site is not intended to promote my own personal
business.
Note to Advertisers
Approved sites will
be allowed to 'advertise' on the outside pages,
not in the chat room, to help support the costs of running
this site. (This is a common practice on websites - including those
that are ministry based.)
Adds will be placed
on the center area of this front page (subject to change as
number of advertisers changes..
Click here
for costs. This is just one way to generate
some income to keep it going! Prayer is another - your
prayers for the financial needs of this ministry are greatly
appreciated!
If you have a web-based business and
would like to advertise here, please
submit your request in writing and it will be
considered. This will help the chronically
ill who are trying to generate income through
small home-based businesses. I will also accept
submissions from those whose purpose is to help the
chronically ill. This is an area we will
continue to pray about.

"Sowin' Seeds and Touchin' Lives"
Comments on the book by
Sara Arline Thrash, PhD.
Author, "Compassionate Care for the Sick and Dying"
"How do you say earth's final farewell to
the one dearest to you? How do you jumpstart depleted energies and
reinvest them after such a heart scald?
Does the sadness ever go away? With open candor, pragmatic insight, and
gentle humor, Carol addresses these searing questions.
This book shouts that
God is the Original Promise Keeper in every situation - one day at a time!"
