Hebrews 10:24-25 tells us how to get a little prevention into our system. Gathering together, exhorting, and stirring up good works and llove in one another is one of the primary antidotes to the operation of the enemy in our lives. The enemy is constantly pumping out the causes of decay morally and spiritually. We can overcome that as we work together brushing, flossing, and rinsing. . .uh, so to speak.

Just like we need good dental hygiene, so we need good Spiritual cleansing. I still believe the best place for that is the Body gathered. You never need an appointment, and the schedule is varied and frequent. You will see and meet a lot of wonderful customers who are getting their “work” done, so you will never be alone. And, best of all, believe it or not, it’s not so bad.

This Week #20 (1-18-04) Preventive Care Do you ever go to the dentist? I just had the opportunity to take one of my grandsons. I hope it is unselfish of me to say that I am so glad it was him and not me. One thing for sure, it is not like it used to be. They had given him some medicine (versed) to take before coming. He was falling around like a kid on drugs and happy as a lark. When it was over, he said it didn’t hurt, wasn’t too bad, and he didn’t mind that he has to go back again. That has never been my experience with a dentist.   I did learn a long time ago that if I want to avoid the “little shop of horrors” it is mandatory that one do some preventive maintenance. It just pays to brush, floss, rinse with expensive stuff, and don’t eat anything good or tasty.   That leads me to This Week
