Diabetes and Your Feet: Why They Deserve Extra Attention (Part 1)

About 1 million Texans over the age of 45 who receive health insurance coverage through the federal Affordable Care Act will likely face monthly premiums of more than $1,000, the Austin American-Statesman reported. That accounts for one-fourth of the state’s 4 million ACA enrollees.
The world is watching
As I am writing, I am glued to the television watching the highly anticipated peace agreement in the Middle East being signed and heralded. The last twenty living hostages have been released by Hamas from Gaza as part of the ceasefire agreement with Israel. This peace agreement has ignited celebrations across Israel and around the world. Could this be a “new beginning” for the region (and perhaps the world)? The world is certainly watching – some with doubt, some with condemnation, but most (I pray) with hope and joy. The majority of my life has been spent observing conflict in the Middle East. Now I am praying for lasting peace in the region and other areas of conflict. As the great evangelist, Dwight L. Moody, stated: “Let God have your life; he can do more with it than you can.” God wants us to be peacemakers – He wrote it in scripture. However, we need His power to do so.
