Introduction:
In many cultures, particularly ancient and indigenous, people with handicaps were seen as having been touched by the divine. They were respected and held in high esteem. Not so much in the modern world.
This evening, Carl will be spotlighting a handicap that many people face, and about which, very little is generally known.
This is not about how “bad” we are, but how we can use this and other attitudes in our world to make each of us just a little better and establish a better attitude.

Yellow: 6 
Red: 7Introduction: People are sicker than ever before. Children born today have shorter lifespans than their parents. Cancer rates are skyrocketing. At least over half of the world’s population has some type of chronic health condition. Where is this diseased state coming from? Is there a way to reverse it? Is it possible to break out of the monthly line up of ‘little brown bottles?’
Tonight, Maryruth Dilling, a Natural Health Professional, will share a tiny snippet from her ten week health series, Rebuilding the Temple from the Inside out. She hopes to give you a starting place if you, yourself, are sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Please help me welcome Maryruth in ‘Where it all begins.’
Green: 5 Yellow: 6 Red: 7Introduction:
Michael gave the first Nationwide presentation of Powerpoint at Windows World 1. This has become a point of pride and a point of shame for him. Today, when people talk about Visual Aids, they are stuck in the 2 dimentional world and particularly in PowerPoint. Michael will open your mind to other 2 and even 3 dimentional visuals.
