First Week Basic Theme: "Tem- perance" II Peter 1:5-8

This book is Peter's second epistle. The word "temperance" comes from the word "temper", mean- ing "your state of calmness of the mind, our anger or rage. So often times, we as believers are quick to jump to a conclusion, with the lack of understanding.

Self control, brings about temper- ance, abiding, waiting, enduring, maintaining, withstanding and pa- tience.

Then Apostle Paul said (Gal. 5:22, 23) we can become fruit bearers. The fiber (character) of our being, belong to God. We don't own anything. We are simply managers over everything God has allowed us to use. That's why we need to be sure, we exercise control over our minds, our attitudes, our be- havior, our finances, our possessions, our bodies, and our appetites.

This kind of control, comes only through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Second Week Theme: "Han- dling the Pressure." Job 14:14

Foot Facts

By Dr. Eric R. Tepper, Podiatrist ULCERATIONS OF THE FOOT

Stasis ulcers may at first appear to be itching or redness around the boniest points in the feet, most often in the ankles, heels, and sides of the feet. The skin then loses its elasticity, and scratching or otherwise irritating it may case the skin to peel. Unchecked, this may turn into a painful, draining wound that will become infected if not treated. FrequenUy, foot ulcers are a side effect of poor circulation (sometimes due to diabetes) on the skin. You may be alerted to poor circulation in your extremities if the skin discolors, feels cool to the touch, or suddenly loses hair growth. The pooling of blood in dependent members may be caused by phlebitis or varicose veins.

As foot specialists, whenever our patients are dealing with foot ulcers or other medically related problems, we are happy to work with all their health care providers to ensure maximum treatment and comfort. We don't treat the entire body, but our experience shows that foot problems can affect, and be affected by, the health of the rest of the body. We do treat all kinds of foot diseases, conditions, disorders, injuries, and bone deformities here at Rice Medical Center. Call 234- 5571 for a Tuesday appointment.

P.S. If you have an underlying medical condition causing foot ulcerations, your physician and your podiatrist should work as a team to maintain your foot health.

Book. Handling means to treat, or to deal with a matter, problem or a busi- ness.

"The" points out the case. "Pres- sure" is a condition, strain, grief or trouble that brings about stress, being under a heavy load of life's mountain, railroads.

Job was the only old testaments patriarch that expresses experienced pressure. But Job, had he not been fixed in God's pre-fixed, could not had undergone this burden.

Sometimes pressure comes be- cause we take the responsibility from God's hand and stagger under its weight instead of letting him bear it

When that happens, we can stop blaming wives, husbands, parents, children, employees and bosses. The only one to blame is ourselves.

Job, out of all his struggle and misfortune, held on the faith in the Al- mighty God. In Job 19:25, he declared I know that my redeemer liveth.

Job had a deep intimacy with the Almighty. He had deep faith, deep conservation, deep commitment God has always operated in realms far beyond our ability to comprehend.

Third Week Theme: Following Christ's Examples." Matt. 11:29

Matthew is the first gospel book of the New Testament which also is the writer.

It is folly (foolish) to follow some- one you don't know, nor do you know where they are leading you. And it is just as foolish to follow someone you know, that has not the Spirit of God radiating in their life, that's why Matt. 11:29 Jesus said, "take my yoke (the word) upon you, and learn (U Tim. 2:15)ofmeforIammeekandlowlyin heart and ye shall fine rest for your souls."

In times like these, we need an anchor. This spiritual anchor holds beneath the solid rock, we need to drop our anchor beyond the surface of God's written word into the depths of his hidden mysteries. It is amazing how God will reveal deep regarding mysteries to us if we lethim. John 5:39 says, search (deep) the scriptures.

Fourth Week: "Is Your Life Consecrated?" Phil. 3:7-14.

Philippians is another letter writ- ten by Apostle Paul. Consecrated means to set apart as a holy vessel.

Jesus prayed to His father in John 17:17 sanctify (purify, justify) them (that believe in me) through Thy truth, Thy word is truth. Jesus came to earth on a mission and for a divine purpose and that purpose was to seek and save them that were lost

John 14:2, Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you." He did not go back to his father, he walked up to Mt. Calvary.

And on that mountain, He (Jesus) went into His priestly office and of- fered up His blood for an atonement (covering).

And I thank God for the blood that was shed on Calvary.

Had it not been for the blood, there would not have been remission for sin. Redemption comes through the power of the blood.

Believers, when we come to the knowledge of the precious blood of Jesus Christ, we will understand that union with God is through the blood. Victory over Satin is through the blood. Life is in the blood. Heb. 1:3 teaches that Jesus made it home and sat down at the right hand of the maj- esty (father) on high.

He did not shed any blood any more. His work was finished He said, on Calvary.

New safety guidelines

help parents determine

kids' chores Farm accident numbers tell a so-

bering story. More than 100 children die in farm-related accidents each year in the United States. With the release of a new series of guidelines, though, experts are hoping to bring the farm accident fatality numbers down.

Leading Extension safety special- ists and the National Children's Cen- ter have released "The I .MHIK^- can Guidelines for Chilu^ vs Ab." cultural Tasks," a series of hana u*!?n- dar-sized booklets aimed at helping parents decide which on-farm jobs their children should attempt.

The booklets also help parents determine at what period in die mental and physical development children should be trained in certain tasks. Colorado County Farm Bureau Presi- dent Charles Harbich, said it is impor- tant to keep kids' safety in mind, but to
