Recognizing that “man does not live by bread alone, but by every word of God,” (Dt 8:3) The Master’s Training Center, the Pantry’s education division, offers mentoring, classes and coaching for all families in the areas of employment strategies, money management, goal setting, time management, com-puter skills, nutrition, organic gardening, & bible studies.

Hello everyone, wow, I love spring! Every-thing is beginning to bud and come back to life! It is that way in life too… there are seasons when we retreat into our own corners and simply “maintain.” Life can be pretty demanding at times. While there is nothing wrong with that from time to time, it is wise to realize there is a balance. There

should come a time to reactivate with society and life itself. A season of renewal and growth. I think spring is a natural time to rejuvenate as the temperatures warm up and invites each of us to soak up much needed sunlight and vitamin D. I was talking with one of Papa’s mentors and Wednesday commu-nity bible study leader, Becky, this morning over coffee. She shared a great illustration of life with me that one of the partici-pants offered. Most people look at life through the rear-view mirror, looking back rather than forward through the windshield! Cool, huh? Years ago, Becky shared another conversation she had with a client… Faith is like sitting in the back seat while allowing God to be in control as he drives. Do you remember being a child sitting in the back seat, totally trusting your parent to get you where you needed to go safely? Child-like faith cannot be explained. It can be hard to “let go and let God” at times, especially when life gets really tough and fearful. It is the release of our own personal control over situations and trials and the placement of them in God’s very capable hands where miracles can take place. As you witness God’s splendor of color bursting forth out of dry and wintered limbs, know that your faith can become renewed in the same way! Take a walk, or a road trip. Pause and reflect on the good things in your life now and in the future, through the windshield. Love and Blessings, Lynne

The mission of Papa's Pantry is to help individuals and families re-establish stability and self-reliance by

offering a variety of programs including immediate food assistance, employment strategies, and life skills through

hands-on support and ongoing training.

Papa’s Pantry Update

Sandi Harding, Resource Manager for Papa’s Pantry, is our Associate of the Month! This is

not her only recent honor! Sandi received word that an

HIV/AIDs group in Rwanda, East Africa has named their newborn calf, ‘Sandi,’ after her! Of course, there is a story...

Several years before coming to Papa’s (2004-2006), Sandi lived in the Rwan-dan capitol of Kagali. With a nursing and counseling background, she worked as the Assistant Director of Health and HIV/AIDS in the office of the Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Rwanda. During this time she built relationships with those in the rural community where there were more than 100 people living with HIV/AIDS. An association was created to educate about the disease, as well as farming techniques to grow their own produce. Sandi identified a need for a cow for fertilizer which would also provide milk for the local children. Sandi raised funds to purchase that first cow back in 2005. Since then, it has had eight off-spring, mostly bulls. However , l as t month a female calf was born and the African association voted to name her after the woman who had bought their first cow… Sandi!! Female cows are more valuable because of the milk they provide. Sandi first came to Papa’s Pantry when delivering food drive items organized by her women’s group from Resurrec-tion Anglican Church in Woodstock.

“Our church had been supporting Papa’s Pantry through food drives and a quarterly “Fifth Sunday” collection, but I really knew nothing about the ministry. When I walked through that door, I sensed there was something special happening in that place.” During the week between the 2010 Christmas and 2011 New Year’s holidays, Sandi sent an email to Lynne Saunders, Papa’s Executive Director, expressing an interest in volunteering as she was currently unemployed. Lynne invited her to attend the next Employment Strate-gies workshop to help her find employment which was thought to be the primary need. Sandi worked on job search techniques, but when it came time to actually look for positions in her field, she couldn’t find one that “clicked.” In prayer, she ‘felt strongly’ that God wanted her to be at Papa’s. She shared that feeling with Lynne one day after the class series was over and asked, “Is there something open for me here?” The answer was a resounding, “Yes,” with a caution-ary, “…But, I cannot pay you.” Sandi laughs as she remembers, “It was the Holy Spirit that answered “That’s ok.” and I thought ‘where did that come from?’ because I had no income for 6 months!”

Arr iv ing for volunteer duty 3 days a week, then 4, and now usually each day, Sandi’s role has evolved into the position of Re-source Manager which involves seeking financial support, grant-writing, sharing

the many success stories of Papa’s and The Master’s Training Center, working with volunteers, and furthering relationships within the larger Cherokee County community. But, she says her favorite role is mentor to those who come to receive groceries for the first time. This is where she uses her skills and

In a Word… “Purpose” by Tim Grady

I once took a college philoso-phy course entitled, “What is the meaning of life?” Who wouldn’t want that answer? On the first day, there were over 500 students in one class.

Over the course of the semester, the number ebbed, but on the last day there were over 750 people in that lecture hall. The professor, who had been mostly absent during the course and allowed teaching assistants to present the coursework, walked to the podium, stared at his notes, looked out over the anxious assembled audience, and said, “I don’t know what the meaning of life is.” Everyone was deflated. Perhaps the only intent of the course was to make us wonder. What separates the “have’s” from the “have-nots”? Ever wondered? Why is the Top 1% in the top one percent? Do they have some super skill? Yes, a few do, but most of them learned it along the way. Do they have superior intel-lect? Some do, but far from all. So what is it? What one word might sum up why great sports stars are great, why great leaders are great, and how the wealthy became wealthy? Why do great sculptors or painters or musicians produce such amazing works? When you read the word ‘purpose,’ note your instant mental reaction to it. Did you scoff at it? Did you immediately accept it as the lynchpin that makes the difference or did you discount it? It is quite likely that you have heard it be-fore; it requires all other attributes of success, some of which I will touch on here, and others I will write about later. The word is “purpose.” You exist to fulfill a purpose. You may yield to God’s purpose or you may pursue your own. The meaning of your life will unfold when you discover and deliberately pursue it. My father once said, “Find what you love to do and a way to make a living at it, and you will never work a day in your life.” I think he heard that some-where; I have learned that it is true. My father was telling me to find my own purpose for my life. People persevere for a purpose; they are intent upon some-thing. So what are they intent upon? Dr. Robert Schuler wrote a book entitled, “The Peak to Peek Principle” which I highly I suggest. The principle can be summed up as this – your vision is limited to your height – not your physical height, but your mental height – what you are able to see with your mind’s eye. This brings to mind another book by Napolean Hill in which he wrote, "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." One year in college I took Lit 609, a graduate-level English

literature course. I was a junior, but I had already taken all the junior and senior courses. I walked down to the book-store excited to get all my texts. I found the aisle for the course, walked toward the tag that read Lit 609 and stood before it, frozen. It read: “14 books required for this course.” Fourteen?!? I had 4 other classes! I left the bookstore with two bags filled with over 20 books for one semester. I bombed that semester. When I graduated from college, I didn’t read another “elective” book for over 20 years, which was a mistake. But, I was burned out. I later realized that reading is the absorption of the knowl-

edge of another without living it. Other people present

other sources of knowledge, and the most successful

among us are often the most willing to share experiences.

Through knowledge and experiences, we can find our

purpose. Your purpose, mission, vision, or idea comes out

of your knowledge and experiences in life, and sometimes

Divine intervention. What you see, hear, taste, touch and

smell swirl around between your ears and ideas pop into

your head. What do you do with them? Do you write

them down? You should if they wake you in the middle of

the night. Do you take these ideas any further? Remem-

ber last month’s word, “courage!” The “have’s” developed skills and applied them to achieve a purpose because they had a purpose in mind – and make special note of the words “in mind.” The have’s had an idea. Then they took the next pivotal step through which all purpose is accomplished, which I will present next month. As I conclude this article, I will leave you with a home-work assignment: write down what you think your purpose is in life. It may have nothing to do with what you are presently doing, or it may have everything to do with what you are presently doing. You may write down more than one thing; in fact, you should write down everything that pops into your head in the weeks ahead that you think could be your purpose in life. Next month, I’ll explain how to land on your purpose, and the pivotal step you will need to take to pursue it. Tim Grady is a Towne Lake resident, senior strategist, business advisor and public speaker for NetMark International. He also serves as Executive Director for The Wildlife Sanctuary in Ellijay, GA., is Chairman of the Board at Furtah Preparatory School, and sits on the Advisory Council at Papa’s Pantry.

LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE—CALL TODAY!

March is the pathway between winter's bleakness and the promise of spring! Days become longer and brighter. You will find flowers and trees in bloom. This is the perfect time to start planning, planting, or enriching a gar-den, even if it's a small pot or con-tainer. Every kitchen will benefit from fresh seasonal herbs and vegetables! It is also a great time to get menu planning under control. Remember these words:

“March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb… Take charge of your family food purchasing and meal plans!” OK, maybe the poem is a bit “hokey,” but I hope the message is clear. Your family’s health is in your hands, and time is needed to focus on its importance. Where to go for guidance and help?? You can attend one or all of The Master’s Train-ing Center’s Food and Nutrition series beginning this month on Mondays. Learn about food trends, eating right when money is tight, and time-saving short cuts in the kitchen. Papa's Pepperoni Chicken (serves 6 ) 1 pack (approximately 1.5 lb.) boneless skinless chicken breasts (generally 3 breasts) 2 T. olive oil, divided 1 T chopped fresh garlic (or from jar) ½ c. chopped pepperoni (turkey pepperoni is lower fat) 1 jar or can of prepared spaghetti sauce 1 c. shredded pizza blend cheese or favorite cheese Directions: Spray oil to prepare a 9 x 11 glass baking pan or casserole dish. Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally (like cutting a deck of cards in half). Pour 1 t. olive oil into a non stick skillet, on medium heat. Heat oil in pan for a few sec-onds. Place two or three chicken breasts into pan, searing to a light color and flip to other side, repeating the sear. Add olive oil as needed. Remove lightly browned breasts and place in prepared glass pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. When all breasts (6 halves) are in baking pan, add chopped garlic and pepperoni to pan and stir over medium/low heat for 3 minutes. Pour spaghetti sauce into pan and stir. Then pour sauce with pepperoni and garlic over chicken breasts, spreading to cover. Sprinkle with cheese. Place uncovered in oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until chicken is 160 degrees inside (or done). Remove from oven and serve over noodles, rice or potatoes. A tossed salad makes this a perfect and easy meal! Maureen Penniman brings a unique blend of corporate and entrepreneurial experience with her to Papa’s Pantry. She has been a corporate manager, recruiter and trainer, along with owning her own catering and retail café business for 12 years. Maureen also is a writer, speaker, and “coach” in entertaining, nutrition, food safety, and family meal management. Canton, Georgia is home to Maureen and her family. Café in Woodstock that features crafts, arts, and gifts by local artists!

prayer to look beyond the obvious need for groceries to seek how the whole person and family can be helped. When asked what brings her back each day, Sandi states, “God’s at work here. His presence is in this place. It is exciting to be a part of something that’s moving and fluid and to know we are making a difference in people’s lives financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically.”

Sandi quickly made herself an invaluable asset within the Papa’s organization. Occasionally the ministry is able to give her a stipend for the endless hours she puts in. It is our hope to be able to increase monthly donations to be able to financially make Sandi an official employee. Her service is such a blessing to so many within the community.

Prior to going to Rwanda, Sandi worked for 5 years as the Director of Health Ministries at Roswell United Methodist Church through a joint program with St. Joseph’s Hospi-

tal. Between her work in Rwanda and her coming to Papa’s Pantry, she was a consultant for the Anglican Mission in America, partnering over 50 churches in North America with Rwandan communi-ties through a Sister-to-Sister partnership program.

Sandi is a Registered Nurse, graduated from The Genesee Hospital School of Nursing, Rochester NY. She also has a BS in Counseling. from Geneva College, Beaver Falls, PA, and a MA Leadership from Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA, and is a national speaker for Fresh Start Ministries on Divorce and Single-Parenting.

Sandi has three grown children, 2 sons and a daughter, and 8 grandchildren! Her mother, who is 92 years of age, lives in the Roswell area. They all enjoy opportunities when the 4 generations gather together. Thank you Sandi for your heart that loves to serve!

A young and successful executive was traveling down a

neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new

Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from

between parked cars and slowed down when he

thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the car back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid, and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, “What was that all about, and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?” The young boy was apologetic. “Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do,” He pleaded. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop.” With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. “It's

my brother,” he said.” He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.” Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheel-chair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me.” Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat... He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. “Thank you and God bless you,” the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: “Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!” God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen .

Thought for the Day: If God had a refrigerator,

your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet,

your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring.

He sends you a sunrise every morning. Face it, He is crazy

about you!

Psalm 91:4,

He will cover you with

his feathers. He will

shelter you with his

wings. His faithful

promises are your

armor and protection.

Thank you City on a Hill!
