Nancy DeMas Walgamoos says physical health is not our ultimate need.

Nancy will pick up that teaching in just a few moments, but first we want to remind you that

the need for healing comes in many forms.

friend Karen. She has a remarkable story of how she went through some very disappointing

experiences in life. Enormous pain, a lot of issues in her family, with children, with children

in law, with parents, just many painful issues in her life.

And over a process of time, she became a deeply angry, bitter woman.

And she tells a story of how she got to the place where she was almost vegetative.

She would just sit down on the couch and turn on the television

and could hardly function because of the bitterness and the anger
