May has arrived, bringing all of the green foliage with it! Spring is such a fun season. It's like God touches a little something here and a little something there, bringing things to life; building anticipation for the whole landscape to come alive. When we look to Him, He does the very same thing in us. He touches us here and there... pushing us to break through the hard soils of life, and before we know it, His grace has enabled us to grow and flourish in areas we never thought possible. It's beautiful to Him! We hope your month is blessed with an abundance of God's goodness. Stay healthy and take care!

Prescription Drug Epidemic in the US
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has classified prescription drug abuse as an epidemic. While there has been a marked decrease in the use of some illegal drugs like cocaine, data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) show that nearly one-third of people aged 12 and over who used drugs for the first time in 2009 began by using a prescription drug non-medically.
Some individuals who misuse prescription drugs, particularly teens, believe these substances are safer than illicit drugs because they are prescribed by a healthcare professional and dispensed by a pharmacist. Addressing the prescription drug abuse epidemic is not only a top priority for public health, it will also help build stronger communities and allow those with substance abuse disorders to lead healthier, more productive lives.
