Shepherd of Hope
Ministry is
concerned about the safety and privacy of all its

talk to your parents or legal guardian about your

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.
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!"
