MILLIONS OF UNINSURED AMERICANS NEED HEALTHCARE REFORM
By Dr. Henrie M. Treadwell
The uproar at this summer’s raucous town hall meetings, Rep. Joe Wilson’s outburst in Congress and the endless debate over whether some opposition to healthcare reform is racially-tinged are a major disservice to the millions of Americans who need healthcare reform.
Rep. Wilson doesn’t worry about costs if a member of his family falls ill; he is covered. The majority of the people screaming and waving signs at town hall meetings don’t worry either. They are covered. Their family members walk into a doctor’s office or hospital emergency room, flash insurance cards and receive the best treatment available.

PRISONS VS. EDUCATION: WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE
By Dr. Stephen Jones
According to the "Philadelphia Inquirer" newspaper Pennsylvania intends to build four new prisons for 800 million dollars. Did you know that it also takes $50,000 a year to house a prisoner? Reading this was upsetting because it was so easy to build four new prisons. Governor Rendell had spent 3 months trying to get the state budget passed because he refused to put education on the chopping block. The State of Pennsylvania could educate 5 children rather than put one man or women in prison. It seems like our country’s priorities are all twisted. Other countries are investing in education and they are experiencing expansion while America is in a state of decline.

Believing In the Power of His Blood
by Becky DeWitt
Recently, I was sharing my testimony during a phone call and realized that the person had no idea of the depth of my deliverance for the salvation that I had received. See, I was telling the true testimony, the one that many in the Body of Christ need to release. The one that says I went through and will continue the process on the journey as I stay on the potter’s wheel being formed by His hand with the finishing touch.

Making the Right Decisions in Selecting a Soul Mate
by Alvin C. Romer
Sometimes you are just confused as to whether you really love the person you are dating or it is mere attraction, and it is difficult to make a decision. Questions abound and you don’t know how can you be so sure that you’ve picked the right one? Well, the first thing that should be done is ask yourself why you have the love for the person you’re with? A better understanding of your heart and what it says should not be understated. For instance, does your heart beat for your partner? Do you feel totally devastated when he is not around? You should know the difference between love and infatuation. Blind love is not an option and shouldn’t be part of this equation.
