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.

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.
However, I want to share
with you the benefits of
Juice Plus +®
and will post a link to my
Juice Plus +®
website here for you to visit
at your convenience. If you have any questions or would
like to try
Juice Plus +®
or learn more about it - please
feel free to contact me at any time via this site or my
Juice Plus +®
website.
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.

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!"
