FBC NEWSLETTEROctober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide

and the second-most common cancer overall. In 2014, an estimated

232,030 cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. alone. So no

matter who you are or where you live, understanding breast cancer is important.

But the most important thing to know is this: a diagnosis is not a death sentence.

Breast cancer can be treated. Regular screening tests (along with follow

and treatment if diagnosed) can be beneficial while dealing with breast cancer. Af-

ter all, screening tests can find breast cancer early, when the chances of survival are

highest. That’s why there are local, funded programs that provide screening tests in

communities so more people can have access to these valuable and im-

portant tools.

The good news is that as believers we know that we serve a living

and healing God. He has the final say over our lives and our

health! However, it is up to us to do our part in making sure that

we are knowledgeable about issues concerning our health!

Isaiah 53:5… But he was wounded for our transgressions,

was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our

peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Steps To Financial Peace

Preparing and working with a budget terrifies many people. They believe popular budg-

et myths and misconceptions. They think the budget will control them; however, when

a budget simply is their best estimates of resources needed to do future

their misapprehensions tend to fade.

These seven things a budget isn’t, cause people to shy away from doing a budget result-

A budget isn’t about figures, but goals and plans.

A budget isn’t about ideal percentages, but specific situations.

A budget isn’t a strait jacket, but a freeing tool.

A budget isn’t needed only when in debt, but always.

A budget isn’t going to change your finances, but will help lifestyle choices.

A budget isn’t a pass to spend, but a road map of likely effects of decisions.

A budget isn’t about yesterday, but tomorrow.

How about a hayride? The 60-acre Bluebird Gap

farm animals.
