wellnessThere is no debate that we are in the middle of a grow-

ing overweight and obesity crisis in this country which is spreading (along with our waistlines) around the world. Our citizens are investing billions each year in books, diet plans and supplements. The fact is, we just keep getting bigger and bigger and it will cost our country billions in health care. Over 80 percent of Americans are overweight and 40 percent are obese.

The reasons we are not making any progress is that we are throwing Band-Aids out to those trying to lose weight without educating them, properly evaluating them or provid-ing them the proper level of support and medical supervision along the way. Equally, we are not providing them with a transition and maintenance plan and the support to help them sustain their new weight for life.

At Equilibrium, we want to help each of our patients live a long and productive life. Most patients present themselves with a weight issue. Reaching and sustaining a healthy weight and lifestyle is one of the most important actions for longevity. Being overweight creates disease conditions for heart, cancer and diabetes - with warning signs of high blood

pressure, sugar levels and cholesterol. At Equilibrium, every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation with medical supervision including: s Medical history and questionnaires Blood works BCA evaluation including BMR, body fat and BMIs Medical evaluation: Every patient sees the doctor.

We also educate and provide knowledge that is valuable for life to our patients about:s How and why we gain weights Why our hormones decline and the impact on our bodies

as we ages Importance of nutritional balance (diet and supplements)

to reach a disease free state and healthy weight for lifes Importance of exercise s Importance of stress managements Metabolism and weight loss equation (calories in and

out).

We offer and have the most experience in the most rapid

healthywweight loss


and effective weight loss program offered in the world using the natu-ral human hormone HCG and our proprietary EQ HCG Diet. HCG has been used for weight loss for over 40 years. It’s the result of research done by British endocrinologist, Dr. A.T. Simeons. He determined that by using the naturally occurring human hormone, human chorionic gonado-tropin (HCG), in conjunction with a diet of specific fruits, vegetables and lean proteins, the body mobilizes visceral fat (fat you don’t want) and results in average weekly weight losses of four to seven pounds.

A key to this process is that HCG works on the hypothalamus (the gland in your brain that controls heartbeat, breathing, and providing your body with “fuel”). Dr. Simeons

learned that with HCG, the hypo-thalamus would release visceral fat to be used as an energy source. That fat movement allows the dieter to consume significantly less calories than they could on other programs, since the body is getting its metabolic needs (energy) met from the fat.

What do you need to know about the Equilibrium HCG program?

Support: The HCG diet is simple (specific quantities of specific foods purchased at the grocery store), but it is not easy for everyone. The differ-ence between total compliance and minor deviations to the food can cre-ate significant differences in weight loss. As a result, the weekly/daily support you receive from Equilibrium can be critical to your success.

Physician Supervision: Our phy-sician will examine and approve you to be on HCG. There are some, but not many, pre-existing conditions that might exclude you.

Prescription: Our program includes a prescription for HCG. You’ll find products in stores and on the Internet that claim to be HCG. If it doesn’t include a prescription, it’s not HCG. Using those products in conjunction with the low calorie diet can be dangerous.

Injections: Like Dr. Simeon, we use injectable HCG. Additional de-livery methods are now available, but injections provide the most consistent and effective delivery of HCG into the body.

7nutritional supplementsyoushould know

By Dr. Victor Rosenfeld SouthCoast Health


The over-the-counter supplement market has exploded in the past few years, with total sales in 2012 reaching more than $32 billion. Along with the development of this boom-ing industry has come a barrage of advertise-ments making outrageous claims often driven by profits and based on pseudoscience.

So how can the public assess which supple-ments are best? Ultimately, their benefits will only be realized if the right supplement is taken for the right reason and in the correct way. Here are the seven nutritional supple-ments I most often recommend to my pa-tients:

Magnesium is recommended for the treat-ment of pain associat-ed with Restless Legs, Fibromyalgia, and migraine headaches, among other condi-tions. In some forms it can cause nausea and stomach cramps, so I recommend Gluconate, Malate or reacted Magnesium.

Co-QIO is the essential compound found in mitochon-dria, the cells re-sponsible for energy production. Co-QIO is recommended for

the prevention of migraines, for symptomatic benefit in Parkinson’s Disease, and as a sup-plement for those taking “statin” drugs for high cholesterol.

Known as ALA, Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that prevents tissue

damage by neutralizing free radicals in the body. ALA can help prevent progression of diabetic neuropathy, a condition where the nerves in the arms and legs are damaged over time in diabetes patients.

Omega 3 has been shown to lower the risk of heart disease and inflammation associated with autoimmune diseases. Studies have also shown benefits for the treatment of asthma, depression and ADHD.

Aloe is packed with vitamins and minerals that help the body adapt to stressors from the environment. It can be helpful for digestive issues and for skin irritants when applied topically.

Probiotics introduce “good” bacteria into the bowels that are believed to act as a first line of defense to promote a healthy immune system.

Vitamin B12 is the most important vita-min for maintaining optimal nervous system function. Too little B12 will cause anemia, and is the leading preventable cause of dam-age to the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.

It is important to remember that the FDA does not regulate the supplement market, and consequently, purity and concentration of these products can vary widely. Patients should always consult with their physicians when considering nutritional supplements as part of their treatment plans.

Dr. Victor Rosenfeld practices at SouthCoast Health’s Department of Neurology. For more infor-mation, visit www.SouthCoast-Health.com or call

(912) 691-3640.

Vitamins’ benefits will only be realized if the

right supplement is taken for the right reason and

in the correct way.

I once read John F. Kennedy would often state, “Man is drawn to the sea because the human blood consists of the same proportion of salt as the ocean.”

I’ve never researched the validity of that statement – but I can relate. Open water swimming is unique to any other swimming - it’s soulful, inspiring, humbling and powerful. I highly recommend you dive in - but, before you take the plunge - take heed of my DO’s and DONT’s of open water swimming.

Do know your environmentKnow the currents, know the wave conditions, know

any known threats in the water, know the grade of the continental shelf and know the depth of the water you are swimming in.

Do swim with friends Never swim open water alone - period. Always swim

with friend(s) - and when possible utilize the buddy system where you can partner with someone and keep an eye on one another.

Do let people/lifeguards know you are swimmingAlways notify someone that you are entering the wa-

ter - especially a lifeguard.

Do practiceOpen water swimming is no joke - never underesti-

mate the ocean. Practice swimming in a pool until your have the proper strength and stamina for open water swimming.

Do sight your course wellDescribe a course to swim - use marker buoys,

houses, trees, flagpoles, etc. - anything you can find to set your course and stick to it.

Do swim with the proper toolsWear goggles, wear sunscreen and wear a wetsuit if

the water temperatures warrant one.

swimming

Don’t fight mother natureYou will never over power the ocean, so if the rhythm

of the ocean is giving you a hard time, best you just roll with it and adapt your stroke and breathing.

Don’t freak outEasier said than done, but never panic in the water.

Nothing good happens when you are freaking out. If the urge arrives - relax, assess the situation and make quick and decisive actions to get to safety.

Don’t swim over your head or outside the life-guards’ range of sight

Don’t put yourself in a position where help can’t be offered.

Don’t swim where animals are feedingThe oceans is full of creatures, beautiful amazing crea-

tures - but they have to eat, so give them space. i.e., Dont swim into a large dark shadow in the water - chances are thats a school of small fish passing by - and likely being followed by larger fish feeding on them. The small fish aren’t the problem - the larger fish can be a problem - so best you stay away.

Don’t swim in water that is isn’t clearYou can’t see what’s swimming with you. Further,

never swim at night for the same reason.

If you’re like me and you spent many late nights staying up to watch the US Open this past summer, you’re still recovering from watching the best pros for those two weeks. We marvel at the athleticism of these finely tuned athletes and often wish that could be us. The question is “Why not?”

The slogan for tennis for a long time was “The sport of a lifetime,” and it’s true! There are very few sports that can be played from a young age to very late in life that chal-lenge people both physically and mentally. I have been a teaching professionally for nearly 30 years and I have seen the gamut (I currently have a range of students aging from four- to 82-years-old).

Health benefits of tennis are diverse, as tennis requires aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Players need to be able to run quickly for short distances over a long period of time, requir-ing agility and stamina. Tennis players are also challenged mentally as they must continually contemplate shot selec-tion and court position during a match. There are no machines at a gym that come close to the fun challenges of

tennis in an hour to hour and a half and very few endeavors match the endorphins produced after a tennis match.

Tennis is easier than ever to begin to learn. Graduated equipment that was originally designed for small children has been adapted to beginner adults making the ball easier to hit and skills easier to master. There are also leagues de-signed for beginning players of all ages, from Junior Team Tennis to USTA Adult Beginner Leagues.

For resources on how to get started please visit www.USTA.com for leagues; and www.USPTA.com and www.PTRtennis.org to find local certified pros.

By the way, the new slogan for tennis is “Get in the game.” What are you waiting for?

Arm Hugs - Standing in one spot, spread the feet and establish a good base of support. Bring the arms up to shoulder height and hug yourself. Hold this position briefly. Then, open up the arms as wide as possible trying to “hug the world”. Repeat this movement pattern, gradually increasing the speed of the exercise. Perform about 10-15 hugs, both ways, or do the exercise for about 30 seconds.

Here are a few warm ups to get you ready for your next practice or match. Find more at www.usta.com.

Lateral Lunge - Start at the doubles sideline facing the net and get into an athletic stance – hips down and good posture. Take a large step sideways into the court. Bend the knee of the leg in the court, keep the other leg straight. Lower the body until a slight stretch is felt in the groin. Hold this position for 2-3 seconds. Return to an athletic stance by bringing the trailing, “straight leg”, back under the body. Repeat this movement across the court to the other doubles sideline.Perform this exercise 1x across the court in each direction.

Inverted Hamstring - Start at the doubles sideline facing out from the court. Stand on one leg and bend at the waist. Keep the leg on the ground slightly bent. Bend forward at the waist until a slight stretch is felt in the hamstrings of the leg that is on the ground. Keep the back flat and avoid twisting. The leg off the ground should follow the line of the body. Hold this position for 2-3 seconds.

Children growing up today spend more time with technology than any previous generation. Unfortunately, this also means that they spend more time sitting in front of a screen. But at what point have the kids had too much? From tablets and cell phones to TV’s and laptops, children have a lot of opportunity for screen time. Although there are educational programs and apps, the negative effects of having too much media exposure seem to outweigh the positive.

“On average, kids spend about seven hours a day on media, but we’d really prefer to see kids playing,” said Dr. Dan Marullo, pediatric neu-ropsychologist at Children’s of Alabama.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recom-mends that children under the age of two not watch any television and that older kids have no more than two hours of screen time per day.

“If you are starting to see your child not spending as much time interacting with other families or friends, not playing, not engaging in favorite activities, research shows that there can be a link between too much media exposure and obesity and hypertension,” he said.

Problems paying attention and con-centrating, depression or anxiety, and even aggression can also be signs that

your child has had too much media exposure. The list to the right are a few ideas to get children away from the screen.

Too much screen time?

The amount of fun activities you and your kids can do without the TV and tablets are endless. For more informa-tion on how to have healthy screen time habits, visit www.childrensal.org.

Send your kids out-side to play, or go play with them!

Set a good example. Put down your cell phone and exchange watching television for something active.

Limit the number of screen time hours.

When a program is over, turn the television off instead of surfing the channels.

Set up a “media free zone” that includes bed-rooms and the kitchen during dinner.

Make a screen time schedule that all mem-bers of the family abide by.

Make TV time a family affair.

Involve them in a sport such as base-ball, ballet, lacrosse or swimming.

When some people hear the word “cyclist” they think of a person in a skintight uniform, travelling at high speeds on a sleek carbon fiber bicycle. However, you don’t have to be an elite athlete to enjoy the health benefits of cycling.

For people who are interested in incorporating bicycling into their daily routines - riding a bike to the grocery store, taking a spin around the neighborhood after work, or even commuting to the office on a bike - Lycra costumes and expensive bicycles are not required.

More important are comfort, reliability and safety. The staff at your local bike shop can make sure the bicycle you buy is properly sized for you and appropriate for the kind of riding you want to do. Not only will the quality of the bicycle be better that those available at the Big Box stores, proper bike fit can make the difference between an enjoy-able activity that you look forward to, and an uncomfort-able or even painful chore that you’ll likely abandon.

This is important because consistency is the key to har-nessing bicycling’s health benefits. That’s why programs like the League of American Bicyclists’ National Bike Challenge encourage frequent cycling, even for shorter distances, instead of placing an emphasis on epically long rides. Casual cycling can provide significant health bene-

fits, especially for older adults. Numerous studies indicate that riding a bike can improve balance, strength, circulation, and cognitive function, and can even ward off depression.

As older Americans discover cycling as a way to stay fit, active and alert, they are setting trends. People for Bikes, a national cycling advocacy organization, finds “Biking rates among people between the ages of 60 and 79 are soaring, an analysis of federal data shows. New trips by seniors account for 22 percent of the nation’s growth in adult biking.”

At the other end of the spectrum, cy-cling is recognized as an effective strat-egy for combatting childhood obesity. Safe Routes to School programs all over the country are working to reverse the decades-long decline in the number of children who walk or bike to school. In addition to its role in weight con-trol and diabetes prevention, bicycling has also been identified as a way to improve students’ academic achieve-ment and focus in the classroom. Children who are engaged in physical activity on the way to school

arrive focused and ready to learn.Unfortunately, there are significant obstacles that prevent

children, seniors and everyone in between from riding. Many people want desperately to use their bikes for exercise

or transportation, but are fearful of riding on city streets or rural roads designed solely for cars. That’s why many communities are adopting Complete Streets policies to ensure new streets and road improvement projects safely and comfortably accommodate bicy-clists and pedestrians. Many cities and towns are also reaping the benefits of multiuse paths, trails and greenways.

If you want a healthier and happier community, urge your local leaders to invest in infrastructure projects that

make it easier for people of all ages and abilities to make bicycling a healthy part

of their daily lives.

In 1981, Leisure World (since renamed Laguna Woods to better suit the retirement community’s active lifestyle) conducted a study of its residents age 52 and up. Extensive data on the diet, exercise, and daily activities of 14,000 people was collected. Recently the participants, now mostly in their 90s, were reexamined. The results were reported in a “60 Minutes” documen-tary earlier this year. Surprising key findings of the research (referred to as “The 90+ Study”) include:n Diet and vitamin consumption seemed to have no

effect on longevity.n People who were over-

weight in their 70s lived longer than normal or underweight people did.n People who drank moderate

amounts of alcohol and/or coffee lived longer than those who abstained.n People who exercised lived

longer than people who didn’t. While 45 minutes per day was ideal, even 15 minutes a day on average made a difference.n Social activities and engagement were beneficial.

Other studies have shown that having low social interaction is as bad for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, as dangerous as being an alcoholic, as harmful as never exercis-ing, and twice as dangerous as obesity. (Forbes, Aug. 2010, “Friends with health benefits”)

In addition to the studies mentioned above, the following also shows that seniors who live in CCRCs (Continuing Care Retire-

ment Communities) live happier, healthier and longer lives than those who remain in their own homes.

A scientific study con-ducted by Dr. Margaret A. Wylde’s ProMatura Group and published by the American Seniors Hous-ing Association, “Study of Independent Living Residents and the Com-munities in Which They Reside” found that seniors who live in CCRCs are more satisfied with their daily lives and are more likely to be healthier than their contemporaries who remain in their own homes.

The Office of Disability, Aging, and Long-Term Care for the US Department of Health and Human Services released a research analysis paper that found that residents who live in CCRCs are health-ier and live longer than people who do

not live in CCRCs. Their analysis also found that CCRC residents have less risk of

disease and disability. Their research specifically noted that CCRCs:n Promote active lifestylesn Support social involve-

mentn Ensure proper medical

caren Provide good nutritionn Encourage overall well-

nessn Are good for younger seniors

Based on the aforementioned studies, living a longer life may be partly related to your genes and the other part on how much you enjoy life! Clearly the keys to living longer are staying physically and socially active. How nice to learn that a few extra pounds and enjoying a glass of wine and a cup of coffee are good for you too!

Kids today live in a busy world. They are surrounded by parents with hectic jobs and no time, by pressure from school and competitive sports, by social media overload that does more harm than good to a young, uncritical mind

Can you imagine how things may be different if you had had the opportunity to learn yoga when you were a kid?

Very few of us were lucky enough to have parents, grand-parents, a teacher, or a family member who practiced yoga. Still fewer were invited to participate. Can you imagine if you had been offered the tools of mindfulness? Although it is never too late to begin the beneficial practice, starting at a young age is fantastic!

To have learned how to observe your body and been able to be present with what your body was feeling; to have recognized and greeted each and every emo-tion that you had felt, without hiding them or being ashamed of having them; to have practiced different types of breathing techniques that could have helped you shift your energy so you could engage 100 percent in whatever activity you wished; to be able to connect

with nature, sustain your flexibility, and promote optimal physical health as you posed and moved your body in fun, playful, non-competitive ways - these are ways yoga im-proves lives.

Being a yoga teacher with a strong desire to promote the wonders and benefits of yoga in every suitable setting, I’ve done some research into what good a yoga practice could do for children.

Here are the results, summarized into six benefits that I see as the most essential:1 Builds body awareness, strength and flexibility without being competitive

2 Improves concentration and focus3 Stimulates a child’s ability to react calmly and stay calm in stressful situations4 Emphasizes play, thereby stimulating creativity5 Encourages a positive outlook on life6 Can enhance any sport or activity as well as prevent injuries.

More than 2000 runners, riders and spectators got “down and dirty” at JCB’s third annual Mud Run and first-ever Dig the Ride cycling event at the company’s North American Headquar-ters in Savannah. Proceeds from both races benefitted The Lady Bamford Center for Early Childhood Develop-ment.

In a check presentation ceremony recently, Thom Peebles, Vice President of Marketing at JCB, presented a check for $100,500 to Tammy Mixon, the Executive Director of Wesley Center, who operates The Lady Bamford Center. Also on hand to participate in the ceremony were: Steve Vernon, Vice President of Finance at JCB, Debi Mulanax Chief Financial Officer of the Lady Bamford Center Advisory Board and David Paddison, Lady Bamford Center Board Member and Board Chair of The Mud Run/Dig the Ride. This year’s donation, made possible by race participants and generous sponsors, will go a long way towards continuing to support The Lady Bamford Center and their educational mission.

“Months ago, as we began planning for this year’s Mud Run, we knew we wanted it to be the biggest and best one yet,” said Thom. “Along the way, we came up with the idea of adding a cycling event, and that’s how Dig the Ride was born. Our staff made sure that both race courses featured twists

and turns that made them fun and chal-lenging for both runners and cyclists. However, most importantly, we were able to exceed previous years’ goals by raising more than $100,000 for The Lady Bamford Center. We sincerely thank our participants, volunteers, generous sponsors and spectators who made it all possible.”

Located at 1410 Richard Street in West Savannah, the center offers priority admission to children from homeless and low-income families, as well as children with physical, mental or emotional challenges. Its interactive curriculum prepares young children for kindergarten and elementary school and helps them compete with other children academi-cally.

Who says everything that was great about the old days is gone forever?

At Senior Health Associates, we believe that just because you need homecare doesn’t mean your life should come to a halt. Life is meant to be lived.

Keeping regular schedules with family and friends, as well as maintaining a steady routine at home, is simple when SHA is your healthcare partner.

Although Senior Health Associates provides a full range of medical care, one of their most popular services is physician house calls, which dramatically improves seniors’ access to quality care. At least 1 million seniors are permanently homebound and 2 to 3 million more cannot easily access physician offices without assistance. This concierge medical service is provided to patients through SHA with no additional fee.

In addition to house calls, the Senior Health Associates

homecare program offers the following benefits: s Superior in-home care by trained health care providers.s Personalized and confidential care.s Highly-trained primary care providers with years of

house call medicine experience.s Client control over the treatment and amount of care

received.Through SHA’s unique approach to home based medical

care, they are able to realize the preferred way patients receive health care. During the process, the providers not only deliver top-quality medical care, but are also able to include health education, emotional support, one-on-one care and attention, and case management post-hospitalization to clients who are in their homes. Senior Health Associates understands that patients prefer a familiar environment during treatment. This relaxed and secure environment helps seniors and their families through treatments better than any other type of care.

The skilled physicians and geriatric nurse practitioners work in teams to provide the highest level of care. During the first visit, SHA takes pertinent information such as an overall health assessment, a review of medications and lifestyle, and a discussion of the patient’s health concerns. This information is used to develop an overall plan of care.

Believe it or not, there are many services that Senior Health Associates healthcare practitioners can provide the patient at home. Some conditions that can be treated in a residential setting include but are not limited to:s Diabetess Emphysemas Fevers Flus Gait Abnormalitiess Hypertension

There are so many advantages that Senior Health Associates brings to each patient and their families. Such advantages have predominantly appealed to the senior community – since most of the citizens who belong to this sector are bound to their homes and have mobility challenges that prevent them from travelling to a clinic, treatment center or hospital for health services. Seniors, through SHA, are able to receive continuity of care from doctors who can provide direct medical attention in the comfort of the senior’s home.

To make a request for an SHA representative to visit you at home and see if Senior Health Associates is right for you, call them at 843.757.1173. Be sure to visit the website at www.SeniorHealthAssociates.com to see if there are openings in your area. Also, paperwork for admittance to the program can also be found online or through the SHA office.

Choosing long-term care and/or re-habilitive care can become a daunting task with all of the choices available.

At NHC Bluffton, that choice is simple because their world revolves around them, too.

The surroundings are lush, the ac-commodations are luxurious, and the

lifestyle is vibrant and varied, but what truly sets NHC Bluffton apart is their focus on and dedication to the well-being and independence of each of the residents, day by day, one by one.

NHC’s family of caring and compas-sionate medical staff and caregivers are highly trained and experienced profes-sionals who are personally dedicated to making the residents feel cared for and at home on a daily basis.

Affiliates of National HealthCare Corporation have spent 40 years building their stellar reputation for providing outstanding, state-of-the-art medical care with the same level of personal attention one would receive from a family member.

NHC created The Better Way phi-losophy in an effort to keep the bar of excellence consistently raised to its highest level, ensuring that each and every NHC resident receives unparal-leled professional care and compas-sionate personal attention every single day. Based on 20 promises, The Better Way is NHC’s promise that loved ones are in a caring, compassionate environ-

ment that is consistently striving for excellence.

By making these promises, NHC Bluffton is committed to providing the highest level of customer satisfaction.

No, there is no place like home, but when unassisted living is no longer an option, NHC believes their Long

Term Care comes pretty close. When it comes to residents, their focus is on the whole: body, mind and soul. Personal attention, social interaction, and expert care are on the daily agenda.

NHC understands that watching a loved one suffer with dementia or Alz-

heimer’s disease is difficult enough, but in later stages of these illnesses watching after them can be almost impossible for one person. That’s why NHC created a specialized Memory Care Community in Bluffton.

The mission of our staff of highly-skilled and compassionate Memory

Care professionals is, first and fore-most, to keep your loved one safe.

Finally, let NHC help make the road to recovery after injury or surgery easier. Don’t travel this long and wind-ing road alone. Grab hold of life as soon as possible.

SouthCoast Health — the Savannah-based medical organization formerly known as SouthCoast Medical Group — may have a new name and logo, but their founding commitment to total patient wellness remains the same.

No one knows this better than John Marrero, who has been

with the organization since they opened their doors in 1996. As the multi-specialty group’s Administrator, John has helped the organization grow to encompass more than 80 physicians and 18 locations across the Coastal Empire and Low Country.

SouthCoast Health’s motto — “Total Wellness for Life” — has consistently guided the

organization’s approach to patient care. This is especially evident in the wide range of health services

that SouthCoast Health offers, which John maintains is essential to the organization’s patient-centered, coordinated care model.

Of the many reasons for SouthCoast Health’s success, John is especially proud of the group’s commitment to progress. “I believe our success can be directly attributed to our unwillingness to settle for the status quo. Healthcare is constantly evolving, and we are committed to evolving with it in whatever way is needed to meet the needs of our patients.”

just for laughsEvery morning an elderly woman would

step out on her porch, raise her arms to heaven, and shout “Praise God!” An athe-ist happened to buy the house next door to her and over the months he became very irritated with the spiritual woman. After six months of hearing her shout

“Praise God” each morning, he went out on his porch and yelled, “There is no God!” The godly woman wasn’t put off in the least. She continued to praise God every day. One cold winter morning the atheist

heard the woman shout a different mes-sage. “Help me, Lord,” the woman prayed. “It’s very cold and I am out of food and money.” When the woman went outside the next morning, there was enough food on the porch to last her a month. “Praise God!” she shouted. The atheist stepped out from the bushes

and said, “There is no God! I bought all of those groceries!” The women raised her arms to the sky and said, “Praise God! You sent me the groceries and made the devil pay for them!”

Sudoku Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9. There is only one solution to each puzzle.

An eight year old boy was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday School.

“Well Mom, our teacher told how God sent Mo-ses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

“When he got to the Red Sea, he had his engineers build a bridge and all the people walked across safely.

“He used his walkie-talk-ie to radio headquarters and call in an air strike. They sent in bombers to blow up the bridge and all the Israelites were saved!”

“Now son, is that really what your teacher taught you?” his mother asked.

“Well, no Mom - but if I told it the way the teacher did, you’d never believe it!”
