ACGR 2019 Theme: The Convergence of Super Heros




      If you have noticed, you know that the movies are filled with the Super Heroes from the comics.  It seems that the movie makers have finally gotten to a place in life when they can put up on The 'BIG SCREEN' what they read as a teen.

         


      I would ask you now who was your favorite super hero?  Superman, Batman, Storm, Captain America, Elektra or Wonder woman?  Maybe it is another of the famous masked characters who now are larger than life of the big screen.  When you really think about it, all of us dream of being a person with amazing abilities, or being saved by someone with amazing super powers or even knowing that a person with strange powerful abilities exist.

            The Care Giver Theme this year: 

                     The Convergence of Superheroes.

 Over the next several blogs we will look at the amazing abilities of super heroes and parallel them to the REAL SUPER HEROES of our world.
 The super heroes I would introduce are Soldiers, Police Officers, Fire Fighters.  My favorite super heroes are parents of special needs children and veterans of wars. The vast amount of super heroes are Care Givers of all types.

      These super heroes have the life task of making sure that another human being is cared for in many different ways.  It is evident that, you cannot offer good and effective care without the command of abilities that do this act with love, intimacy and perception.  All of these qualities are beyond the classroom.

       We will meeting this year at Stone Mountain Park, the Gristmill Pavilion.
We plan to have several presenters who will help you reflect, relax, refresh and renew you heart, mind and spirit. 
       I will be introducing these speakers to you through our Team up app.  instructions for access to this app will be posted or you may get information from my devotional messages.
