GRAMMA APPLE'S

A very unique and tender photography service. Please read more at their website: NIMDS

Parents through out the world experience heartache and grief every day due to the death of a baby. This heartache can happen to anyone one of us. Through our experience, being able to introduce this art form of photography to parents suffering this grief will help them in their healing process. We want to bring awareness to parents and caregivers everywhere to this method of healing. We aim to bring parents together with professional photographers that are volunteering their time and services to helping parents create these heirloom memories of their time together as a family. Our goal is to ultimately be able to present "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" to families through out this nation. NILMDTS also aims to educate other photographers to the sensitivity and compassion of this topic.

"I just can't tell you what a blessing it is to be involved with "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS)". Not long ago I was in turmoil as I didn't know what my gift was and then all of a sudden this came to me. I believe that God has been preparing me for this all my life. My dad was a photographer and so I learned from a young age to use a camera, I was in the medical field for 20 years and 25 years ago I had a preemie that was in the hospital for almost a year so I was exposed to all of the reality of the NICU. It's hard work but such a special gift to the families. NILMDTS is a non profit organization that exists to assist families suffering an early infant loss. I as a volunteer photographer take heirloom portraits of their children. I give them a CD with their images and a DVD slideshow set to music. It's such a blessing for the families and I feel God has prepared me for this wonderful ministry.

More than 18,000 children in Arkansas have been diagnosed with either epilepsy or other seizure disorder. PEACE is a parent support group to help educate Arkansas about children with these disorders. The group offers research tools, information about resources available in our area, and helps parents apply them to your reality which is your child's seizure disorder. While learning and working together we will pass along what we have learned to doctors, nurses, educators, and others so that more research can be done regarding pediatric epilepsy.
Monthly meetings offer parent exchanges and professional speakers leading in open discussion. Free resource materials will be available to all who attend.

For an informative, humorous and delightful look at how to speak or present material that will make your audience sit on the edge of their seats; check out "You Can't "Help But Listen." The book by Charles Munson - semi-retired pastor/preacher, teacher, theologian, professor and dean from Ashland University Theological Seminary, expresses his warm humor and mischievous nature, but mostly, it expresses his love and true concern for the common man in need of a savior and how to find the words to express that need to audiences. Charles Munson has a long, recorded history of pranks and sharp wit - and relates his varied true life anecdotes. He uses these to spell bind listeners from every situation in life, and to lead them into God's truth. His experiences include interim pastering and serving as chaplain for such organizations as the Cleveland Indian Baseball team, where Oral Herchshiser became his biggest fan. He writes the forward in the book. http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?event=AFF&p=1017312&item_no=191323"
