Carol Kent is the author of "Facing Fear." She gave five truths to consider when you're tempted to feel hopeless and trapped in fear of the future: 1. Life is full of negative things that might happen. 2. As long as I choose a path of personal growth, I will face fearful situation. 3. Acknowledging my anxieties is a positive first step. 4. An attitude of optimism will make today more enjoyable. 5. Choosing a faith-filled decision is much less frightening than living with the underlying fear that comes from feeling helpless.

Moreno Valley there was a misprint on the story on the celebration that was held at the Hap Arnold Club March Air Reserve Base.  This celebration was an "Achievement Award' for Dr. Reginna Criswell and Dr. Tiffany Hill for all their hardwork.

These young ladies are very hard workers and we will continue to hear great things from them. Dr. Criswell earned a degree in Education and Dr. Hill is a M. D. Our Bishop and First Lady were there. Bishop Craig W. Johnson gave words of encouragement.
