MEN’S HEALTH MUST BECOME A PRIORITY FOR THE NATION
By Dr. Henrie M. Treadwell and Dr. Clare Xanthos
Atlanta, GA (BlackNews.com) — Women’s health advocacy is making tremendous strides, with government, foundations, non-profits and private industry leading the charge for greater awareness and treatment of health conditions impacting women. But unfortunately the same intensity has not been unleashed to adequately address health problems for men.
While outreach efforts have raised the awareness of breast cancer, urged women to seek proper prenatal care and lead to critical research into the major health problems of women, there seems overall to be far less advocacy for men. As a result, there has been far slower progress at addressing the chronic illnesses disproportionately striking men.

A Hungry Heart and Aching Spirit Make a Battered Body by Rhonda McKnight
“…it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” ~1 Peter 1:16
What does holy mean? I did some research and found that it is defined as having a moral standard of living, Christ-like in character, separate, pure, set apart. It was defined in spiritual terms, as a spiritual position or state of being. And while I agree with those definitions, I think too often we think that holiness is merely a spiritual thing. Meaning, if we attend church, read our bibles, serve in ministry, don’t cuss or drink, or commit other sins (that we’re aware of), we believe we have achieved holiness. Today I’d like to discuss another side to holy living; the reality that to be like Christ, we have to attend to not just the spiritual, but the physical.

Selling My Soul by Sherri Lewis
Reviewed by Tavares S. Carney
The Scandolous Truth
Selling My Soul by Sherri Lewis examines what people value most, what makes them feel loved, cared for, comforted and comfortable, and the depths they will go through to keep, have and protect these things. Ms. Lewis begins the story with the main character, Trina Michaels, discovering how it feels to re-enter, or become reacclimated, with American society after having returned from a mission trip in Mozambique. As the story unravels, Trina realizes just how different the two worlds and cultures are, from day to day things such as driving, hygiene and food and water intake, to spiritual values. Readers will definitely examine the little things most take for granted.

Stephanie, describe yourself for our visitors
I am a Christian woman who happens to be a minister of the gospel, pastor’s wife, mother, grandmother, student and an author all wrapped up in one. Whew! I didn’t realize I wear that many hats! I have always had a love for books and I have being writing on and off since I was a young girl.
How do you find time to connect with God?
Usually my time with God is late at night while everyone else is asleep. I’m really not an early riser, but I’m usually on the night watch.

What does 2010 hold for you?
by Sam Livingston
We have known for years that numbers are special to God. They are all through his divine plan for this world and the New Jerusalem to come. Some of the numbers that we can identify within the Bible are 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 24 and 50 to list a few. We walk in the blessing of God based partly through numbers.
