We often worry a lot, because we’re not sure of what will come, and unsure of how to handle what already faces us When we surrender and ask God for guidance, and connect with Him…

Another entry in the “you may want to know” category: following a Mediterranean Diet and daily exercise may reduce later risks of developing Alzheimer’s Disease.  Vegetables, Fruit, Fish, Whole Grains, beans – little or no red meat and poultry – that’s the Mediterranean Diet.
