PHOTO BY MICHAEL KELLY The unusually snowy winter in the Atlanta area became too much for a former Hardee County woman to stand so she loaded up her two boys for a quick retreat. Samantha Brown-Parks, daughter of Sandra Brown and Roy Brown of Wauchula, now lives in At- lanta and is a family doctor and professor at Emory University. Brown-Parks said when school was canceled she loaded up her two sons, 4-year-old Rex and 8-year-old George, and headed to Wauchula for a few days. She stopped by The Herald-Advocate last week for a quick tour to learn how the newspaper is produced. Brown-Parks and her husband, who is also a doctor and had to stay back for work, own property in Hardee County and could move here in the future.

If the governing nature in our power of choice is not decidedly placed in the sole possession of Jesus Christ, it remains yielded to the enemy alone. Satan is careful to conceal his real power in peo- ples lives by causing them to think that they are living life their way or “just doing their own thing.” We must also understand that it is Satan that uses our “feelings” to guide the will. Raji Sonni, MD, FAAP Megan Ramirez, ARNP Christ desires us to live by faith guided by “Scriptural reason.” Feelings must “follow” the action of the will rather than being the mo- tivation for it. If you desire the joyful experience of true freedom – tell Jesus that you are taking “your will” from Satan’s control and you

are giving it to Him. Jesus will renew and then return it to you linked Marcela Jativa, MD, FAAP Denise Mueller-Barker, ARNP to His own. Our will, becomes His will and His will, becomes ours.
