"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?  You are not your own;  you were bought at a price.  Therefore honor God with your body," (1 Cor. 6:19-20).

    The American Diabetes Association has initiated a statewide Diabetes Day for Churches this Sunday to raise awareness of diabetes.  There will be a table outside of the sanctuary staffed by a volunteer from the American Diabetes Association to give helpful information related to daibetes. 

    My grandfather had diabetes, my father has diabetes, and I used to get an Oreo shake from Chick-Fil-A everytime I passed by one.     I went to the doctor a few months back I told him that I thought I needed to be tested because I was drinking a lot of water and felt sluggish - two symptoms of diabetes.  My sugar levels were fine on a previous blood test but a quick check on the meter showed my sugar level was at 300!  The good news is that with diet and exercise I have kept my sugar levels at normal for 3 months now and am off medication (I still do a blood test every day to make sure I am managing my sugar well).  Paying attention to what our body is telling us is key to long term health.

    I hope that everyone will get this valuable information and share it with their family and friends.  Honor God by taking good care of your body.

Peace always,

George
