News from the Emerald Valley Wellness Clinic April 2008   Dear friends and alumni, I hope your health program is going just like clock work.  You know how time goes -- it flys!  Before you know it we can be a the end of the year and still in a rut.  But, thankfully, God's promise is that we can "redeem the time."  That means we can seize the opportunities of today and build with God for our best good.  Has the Lord given you today an opportunity to pray for someone?  An opportunity to walk for 20 minutes?  An opportunity to memorize a scripture?  Let's seize the moments and put all the good into our life as we can! Many blessings and best of health!
