The World's Greatest General
Let me tell you about a man who died and met
Saint Peter at the pearly gates. Realizing Saint Peter was a wise
and knowledgeable person, he said, "Saint Peter, I have been interested
in military history for many years. Tell me who was the greatest
general of all times?"
Saint Peter quickly responded, "Oh, that's a
simple question. It is that man right over there," as he
pointed nearby.
The man said, "You must be mistaken, Saint Peter.
I knew that man on earth. He was just a common laborer."
"That's right, my friend," replied Saint
Peter. "But he would have been the greatest general of all
time -- if he had been a general."
You were created with natural abilities and an
internal compass that guides you toward a particular focus for your
life. That's only the starting point; the next step is yours. You
have an obligation to expand that potential to its ultimate
destiny.
Michelangelo said, "It is only well with me when
I have a chisel in my hand."
Discover what you are supposed to do and do it!

Dear
Ronald,
The events of September 11 are still fresh in our minds as
we commemorate the 10th anniversary of that day. If you lost
a loved one in that tragedy, or in the war against terror that
ensued after it, our prayers are with you.
If
anything, the last ten years have taught us how we can band
together during adversity to overcome great hardships. If
we can come together under one cause, there is much to be hopeful
about. We still live in the greatest country that
has ever existed, and we are blessed every day by those who have
fought to maintain our freedoms.
If you
haven't already done so, find us on Facebook. We'd love to
stay in contact with you. Just click on this Facebook

Most
Important Word - Remember!
Spencer W.
Kimball once said, "The most important word in the English
language is: REMEMBER." While you take a moment
to consider the significance of that statement, let's take a look
back.
On the 10th anniversary a few days ago, we all
remembered the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York City and
the pentagon in Washington DC. Something unique about that
tragedy is that we each carry our own private and personal
"scar." Even though I had the sobering
honor to witness the removal of some who lost their lives in
the World Trade Center, I don't believe I am any more
affected than any other American. What one felt, we all
felt. What one suffered, we all endured.
Along with remembering the grief and shock, let
us not forget the fact that these attacks on America bonded us
together in a way that we had not experienced in nearly 60
years. For one glorious moment in time, our
hearts were knit together as one, and we will never be the same.
For the sake of those who paid the ultimate
price,
Can we:
Quarrel less . . PRAY
more?
Judge less . . PRAISE
more?
Blame less . . LOVE
more?
Contend less . . REMEMBER
more?

Cholesterol Awareness Month
September
is National Cholesterol Education Month, a good time to get your
blood cholesterol checked and take steps to lower it if it is high.
National Cholesterol Education Month is also a good time to learn
about lipid profiles and about food and lifestyle choices that
help you reach personal cholesterol goals.
High blood
cholesterol affects over 65 million Americans. It is a serious condition
that increases your risk for heart disease. The higher your
cholesterol level, the greater the risk. You can have high
cholesterol and not know it. Lowering cholesterol levels that are
too high lessens your risk for developing heart disease and reduces
the chance of having a heart attack or dying of heart disease. Click here for
more information.
Medico Cancer Plan
The American Cancer Society (ACS) states that
one in two American men and one in three American women will get
cancer in their lifetimes. The ACS also states that 65% of
cancer-related expenses are not covered by regular health
insurance. Medical advances have greatly improved cancer
treatment. However, with innovative treatments come
increased costs. Medico's new cancer policy can
help.
This policy
provides you with ONE CASH PAYMENT, while the policy is in
force.
The cash is paid
directly to the policyholder.
You choose the
cash option when you apply for the coverage.
This policy
covers pathologically diagnosed internal cancer or malignant
melanoma.
This policy does
not pay for skin cancer.
This plan is
guaranteed renewable.
No coordination
of benefits.
There are
many ways to help ward off cancer by following a healthy diet,
getting regular exercise, wearing sunscreen, quitting smoking,
etc. But, if there is a diagnosis of cancer, the cancer and
it's treatment are a significant emotional and financial burden
on the family. By knowing there is a cash payment policy in
place, the financial burden will be less. If you would like
to get additional information on the Medico First Diagnosis
Cancer Lump Sum Policy give us a call at (678)464-8602.

Elaine's Recipe of the Month
Buttermilk Baked Chicken
Ingredients:
2 cups buttermilk
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
5 sprigs fresh thyme
3 cloves garlic, smashed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (3 pound) chicken cut into 8 pieces, rinsed and
patted dry
2 cups crushed corn flakes
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
F. Fit a sheet tray with a wire rack and spray with
Pam. Mix together buttermilk, lemon juice, hot sauce,
onion, thyme sprigs, garlic, salt and pepper in a large
bowl. Add chicken and coat with mixture. Cover with
plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 3 to 12
hours.
Mix corn flakes, Parmesan
cheese, and chopped thyme together. Season to taste with
salt and pepper. Remove chicken from the marinade, letting
the excess drip off, and dredge through the corn flake-Parmesan
mixture, pressing to help it adhere.
Place on the wire rack-fitted
tray and bake 45 minutes until golden and crisp.
Note: You can save
calories by removing skin. Soaking the chicken in
buttermilk leaves the chicken incredibly moist with a delicious
flavor.
