Homecoming for Seniors –
An Idea to Promote
a great idea for your church is a homecoming for seniors. As a deacon in my church I want to promote senior communication. Also there are a lot of preconceptions of the elderly. One would say family values are the backbone of our nation. If you don't involve seniors in the family mode you're not using a natural resource. Not all seizures are religious which is a misconception by most young people. If you can involve them in your church there are other methods to involve them in the community. One way is to have them volunteer in community service. Usually young people respond well to seniors and community projects. Most of us seniors want to be useful. We can be by visiting the infirm. One problem with seniors this transportation. Some can get caregivers that drive. But this is not sometimes a good idea since we have problems with insurance unreliable drivers.. So what is the answer. You will find that you don't have to lock yourself up. Most seniors think that they are stranded. Many seniors don't realize that their agencies that will provide rides to and from doctors grocery stores and other places. Especially if one has disabilities you usually Lie to public transportation for point-to-point pickup. Another answer is organizations like people care in Riverside that provide free rides to local areas. You must as a senior investigate what is available. This is the first step in your battle to extend your range. Sometimes keeping your car insurance and sticker costs are not the best option. Even catching a cab is cheaper than the overall maintenance of your car and getting drivers for it. If you can drive your peace of mind may be stressed out. The highways are so busy that even professional drivers are at great risk. Why stress yourself out when it's cheaper to get a taxi or better yet a free ride from a friend, an organization, and public transportation.
So what am I telling you? Get busy and find transportation through information. This blog will help you. At least if you're not in the community covered you can get the idea where to look in your area for your needs.

safe cleaning tips
mildew can be killed with nontoxic, all natural substances like vinegar. Flag this photo
Mold and mildew are commonly found anywhere that maintains a high concentration of moisture for extended periods. Basements, bathrooms, kitchens and outdoor storage are frequent hosts to mold and mildew. Plumbing- or roof-leak locations are also areas to find mold and mildew.
Mold and MildewMold and mildew are microorganisms akin to fungi. They feed on moisture and damp conditions. Mold is everywhere, both indoors and out. Some molds perform very important functions, but indoor mold typically is more harmful than beneficial. Though the negative health effects of mold are far from settled, researchers recognize that mold and mildew, and the spores produced by them, cause problems for allergy sufferers and people with asthma.
VinegarVinegar is one of the natural biocides used to kill bacteria and microorganisms, along with salt and citrus oil. Vinegar, as purchased on the store shelf, is a diluted version of acetic acid at a 5 percent concentration. According to Gina Marino, the microbiologist for Good Housekeeping magazine, vinegar reduces mold by 90 percent and has a 99.9 percent kill rate on bacteria. It is safe to drink and its strong smell disappears after it has dried. It works on porous surfaces such as grout, as well as on nonporous surfaces.
FunctionUsing vinegar to clean mold or mildew is very simple. Wipe a cloth wet with undiluted white vinegar straight from the bottle over surfaces or spray them with the same vinegar and leave it to soak in before wiping with a clean cloth. It is important to use a clean cloth both before and after cleaning moldy areas so that the mold does not spread. However, vinegar or any other mold killer will not keep mold away unless the long-term damp conditions that caused the mold or mildew to occur are corrected.
ConsiderationsVinegar can also be used to clean mold off heavy-duty leather goods such as horse tack. Wiping the tack down with a cloth soaked in white vinegar mixed with water and letting it dry thoroughly out in the open removes and kills the mold and mildew. A follow-up with a leather conditioner that contains a mold inhibitor will return the tack's suppleness.
MisconceptionsVinegar is an effective natural mold and mildew killer, but chlorine bleach is one of the most commonly used agents. However, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends against bleach because it is only effective in killing surface mold, and does not affect the root system of the organism. This means that the mold will keep coming back. Chlorine bleach is very harsh, especially when used in tight spaces, and the fumes can exacerbate the problems of asthma and allergy sufferers. It causes respiratory and eye irritations even in those without asthma and allergies. Chlorine bleach that is not

RPC Lesson Plan
Improving the Quality of Life: A Senior Citizen’s Approach
Introduction
Narrative: I woke up this morning to the sound of a rooster crowing. I then raced to the bathroom. After fifteen minutes I rushed to the kitchen table. Upon sitting in my chair, I was served breakfast. The breakfast was two over easy eggs and four strips of bacon. Also served to me was a large glass of whole milk. My white bread toast was there too. It was covered with thick butter. After gulping it down I raced out the door. Somewhere in this rush I had thrown on my clothes. I was wearing a black tie, white shirt, black pants and polished shoes.
I opened the front door and ran to my car. I was proud of my hand washed car. My 1959 Chevrolet Biscayne reflected the bright sunlight. I drove quickly to work.
Upon arriving at Sears Roebuck, I reported for work. I picked up my cash drawer. I pressed the no sale key on my mechanical cash register. The drawer popped open with a bell sound. I was ready to start work.
I then heard a beeping sound. I realized then, fifty years had gone by since then.
Fifty years had gone by and there were many changes in my life. I then realized how I had adapted to this change. These changes could be good or bad. My quality of life depended on my choices. Let us discuss our choices to improve the quality of our life now.
The quality of life depends upon how we unify body, mind and soul.
So let us review how we woke up this morning. Including our schedule and our thoughts for today.
Body: The world has really changed. By adapting to the changes in our life, we can improve the quality of it.
Note: This is a group discussion about changes in diet, exercise, technology and our perspective of life.
Note 2: The audience will be involved. The audience as a group will relate how they cope with these changes.
Summary: Our quality of life can be improved by coping with change. How do we do this?
We can observe and learn how these changes can affect us in improving our lifestyle.

FOOD ...Kale Seniors need good food. GOOD FOOD, GOOD Mood!
Kale Nutrition Facts
Here are some great reasons to include Kale in your regular diet:
Kale provides an excellent source of vitamins B6 and C, carotenes, and manganese.
It is also a very good source of vitamins B1, B2, and E, fiber, iron, copper, and
calcium.
Kale has almost three times as much calcium as phosphorus. This is a beneficial ratio
because high phosphorus consumption has been linked to osteoporosis since it
reduces the utilization and promotes the excretion of calcium. Kale and collard greens
exhibit the same anticancer properties as other members of the cabbage family.
Your Daily Recipe!
Kale with Tofu- Simple and Delicious!
INGREDIENTS:
1 block of cubed extra firm tofu
6 large kale leaves chopped to bite size
PREPARATION
1) Fry tofu until golden brown and crispy using olive oil, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder.
2) After frying tofu, remove from pan, add more olive oil, and cook kale until soft and welted.
3) Add additional spices: salt, pepper, and garlic. Mix tofu and kale and serve hot.

Humor...
Why was the employee fired from the orange juice factory?
He couldn't concentrate.
Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.

Sweet Tomato Nutrition Facts
Lycopene is well known as a preventer of prostate cancer, which makes tomatoes high on the healthy food list for men.
Lycopene is not just important for men though. It is a powerful antioxidant and as such helps to protect the cells in our bodies from damage.
More facts about tomatoes? The vitamin B6, niacin, potassium and folate found in abundance in tomatoes are potent protectors against heart disease.
Niacin can lower high cholesterol levels and potassium has been shown to lower high blood pressure and to reduce the risk of heart disease.
Vitamin B6 and folate also work to convert the homocysteine in our bodies into harmless molecules. High levels of homocysteine are associated with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
The fiber in tomatoes also helps lower cholesterol levels, helps prevent colon cancer and helps to keep blood sugars at a low level.
Tomatoes are a source of riboflavin which has been shown to be helpful for migraine sufferers by reducing the frequency of their headaches.
The facts about tomatoes definitely point to this fruit/vegetable as a nutrient powerhouse and a super food to be enjoyed as often as possible.
Your Daily Recipe!
Chilled Tomato Soup with Cilantro-Yogurt Swirl
INGREDIENTS:
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 pounds ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped (about 5 cups)
1/2 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
2 teaspoons chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, (see Note)
1 cup fresh corn kernels, (from about 2 ears; see Note)
1 cup ice water
2 tablespoons lime juice, or to taste
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt

SNOW REMOVAL PROGRAM FOR SENIORS

After reading my post, you'll notice that at the very end, there's the word "COMMENT." Click on "COMMENT" and wait a few seconds. The comment box will appear. On the right side, please leave and type your comment on the enclose small box. Then you go down. Later you'll be ask to type some letters as you see them. You will also be ask to choose an identity. If you're not a blogger, identify yourself as anonymous or some other name like James or Joy. You can preview your comment by clicking preview. Later, when all is set, you hit "PUBLISH." Your comment will be publish upon my approval. It takes practice and patience to learn this process. I look forward to hearing from my other viewers.

ART INSPIRES
My art And Tell the the story of life. They show one must have a semce of humer. My paimtimtimg Show That that one must take himself too seriously.
My Art does not express terfestion It express the humen self.
Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.David Ferenc:
