With the gas prices jumping leaps and bounds upward, its the time
to look around at the local region for entertainment, shopping, home
improvements and vacations. The roller coaster bumpy ride to the gas
pumps is causing nausea for all of us. But before you throw up, take a look at some of the
best local happenings in your own backyard!
One of those local happenings in your backyard is the event on March 10 women
celebrating years of achievement the Womens Empowerment Network of Women will
host their 5th Annual International Womens Day Celebration at the Country Club of Bristol
on Saturday, March 10. Dinner, sharing of inspiration, entertainment and great door prizes
are all included for one price. See page 17 for details.
Another must attend event - YWCA Tribute to Women. Twelve local women are chosen
and the recipients are honored at this event. The banquet will be April 19, 2012, so call now
to make your reservations 423-968-9444. This is a terrific opportunity to show your
support to the YW and the women of the region!

By: Robin Dugall
..Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear noevil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Psalm 23:4 KJV
There is a myth in much of Christianity that once you become a follower of Jesus
you are protected from tough times. People interpret the abundant life that Jesus
promises as if His role is to insulate us from the hard realities of life, but it just
doesnt happen that way. For those who trust in Jesus, we echo what David wrote
when he penned those famous words in the 23rd Psalm.
Note that David, the author of Psalm 23, didnt write, IF I walk through the
valley Rather, he exclaims even though. Hard times are inevitable and to
be anticipated. It is part of what it means to live in a broken world.
There was a young man who went through horrendously hard times in his life. His
name was Daniel, and his story can be found in the book of the Old Testament that
bears his name. One of the most well-known stories about Daniels life is when he
took a courageous stand for God and ended up at the bottom of a lions den as a
result. Even though King Darius respected Daniel, he had violated the kings law
and was quickly sent to the lions den to suffer a certain death. Daniel was
thrown to the lions, but he did not die. Instead, God delivered him. The king
was so astounded by the way God protected Daniel that the king himself came to
acknowledge Him as his own God.
While we may never have to face being thrown to actual lions, hard times will
come that threaten all we hold dear. We can trust in God or we can allow the
challenges to overcome us. When you are experiencing hard times, make God your
highest priority. Build the foundation of your life on Him.
We dont have to face tough times alone. God has put people in your life to
encourage and support you. As Peter said in his New Testament letter, ..Humbleyourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in duetime: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (1 Peter 5:6-7KJV.)This means that humble yourselves under the mighty power of God and He willhonor and bless you."
With your trust placed firmly in God and His power to deliver, you too can survive
the lions you face.
