Ron Ballard's article ["Thought and Health," February 2009 Journal, p. 28] contained so many wonderful ideas and great examples from the Bible. I was struggling with a cold, and the thoughts that I gleaned from this article enabled me to go back to sleep. The symptoms were gone by morning. What he said about self-righteous self-love really made me understand what needs handling in many cases.
In Joy Deal's article "No Lost Love" [p. 60], I was able to see better how to love each other—I'm so grateful that she shared such an intimate experience.
Every month the Journals have so much in them to uplift and heal. I am so grateful for everyone who contributes and for our editorial staff who prepares this publication. Since my late teens, I have read every Journal from cover to cover and go back to many of them from time to time and they always inspire.
