We are rapidly moving toward the celebration of Jesus&#8217; death, and Lent is on our minds for those who observe it. A time in which we make sacrifices to in some way thank God for and identify with the sacrifice Jesus made for us. A time to draw more and more close to Jesus.
For Pastors, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reducing Stress Proving To Prolong Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
FoxNews.com is carrying a story on the effects of stress reduction being proven to add years to one&#8217;s life. Honestly, none of us know how long we&#8217;ll live, only God does. However, we&#8217;re called also to be good stewards of our resources.
