SPIRITUALITY
Spotlight on Spirituality:
Live with Intention
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God - what is good and acceptable and
perfect.“ ~Romans 12:2
“I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.” ~Henry David Thoreau
“We learn and grow and are transformed not so much by what we do but by why and how we do it.” ~Sharon Salzberg
“Nothing is impossible. The word itself says ‘I’m Possible.’ ” ~Audrey Hepburn
“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” ~Lao Tzu
“If you have a goal, write it down. If you do not write it down you don’t have a goal - you have a wish.” ~Steve Maraboli
In my childhood my mother often placed a pan on the oil stove with water so as
to put humidity into the air. She would put various types of spices in the water
and give such wonderful aromas throughout the house. Such is the work of Twin
Towers Pastoral Care for 2015. You will see some ideas of spirituality throughout
Twin Towers along with the Campus Informer. Think of them as a pleasing
aroma for your spiritual pilgrimage as we grow together.
Blessings,
Chaplain Joe, Chaplain Rebecca, Chaplain David, Jennifer.

THE CONNECTION
What is Parkinson’s?
Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement, commonly
causes stiffness and the slowing of movement. During the early stages of Parkinson’s, arm swing
and heel-to-toe strike begin to disappear, while speech may become soft and slurred. Although
Parkinson’s Disease cannot be cured, the symptoms can be regulated with medication prescribed by
the doctor, regular exercise (including flexibility and balance), and sometimes surgery to
regulate certain regions of the brain.
Parkinson’s Home Remedies and Lifestyle Healthy Eating– Eating a well-balanced diet gives the essential nutrients that are beneficial.
Exercise– Flexibility, Balance, and Resistance Training are important to help cope with the
struggles of Parkinson’s.
Avoiding Falls– Falling becomes more susceptible, so picking the feet up higher, avoid
walking with items in the hands, and making wide turns will help prevent falls from occurring.
Daily Living Activities– These activities become more difficult to perform, so practicing these
tasks with a professional, such as a Therapist, make the techniques easier.
Tip: Take “Giant Steps” when
walking to maintain a big
center of gravity.
Tip: When the individual is
“frozen” or cannot move,
encourage them to start
marching so they will pick
up their feet.

home in which we can socialize, play cards, sing, do art, attend bible study, worship,
celebrate birthdays and anniversaries….the list could go on for a very long time. We
in the LEC Foundation & Volunteer Services are grateful for each of our residents, our
associates, our family members, volunteers and our strategic partners. We are
blessed each day to see persons sharing their talents whether they serve on a work
group, work in Gifts-n-More, do music ministry for our residents or other notable acts
of kindness.
In 2014 we were blessed with gifts totaling $217,462 for the Benevolent needs,
$45,717 for the Pastoral Care needs, and received a gift of $100,000 for the Wilson
Chapel Renovation. Many events were hosted to celebrate our founding. Can you
believe that we have been in existence for 115 years? We often hear persons say,
“where has the time gone?” We are certain that a lot of life and living has gone into
those 115 years of serving.
We have 116 members of the Twin Towers Auxiliary and including 45 associates
who work here at Twin Towers. The tea was a big success with great silent auction
items to bid on. Work is already underway for next year’s tea. The Twin Towers
Auxiliary appreciates your patronage in Gifts-n-More and asks that you renew your
membership in January. Further information will be forthcoming if you have not paid
your dues. The dues are one of the ways we are able to make gifts to various funds
and departments in early March. Please be as generous as your means allow you to
be.
In 2015 we plan to work to raise $400,000 for the Benevolent Fund at Twin Towers.
This will be achieved by personal gifts, memorials directed to the fund, our annual
associate appeal and the Blessing of the Angel Tree. Together we can reach and
exceed this goal. This truly is important to our ministry to take care of our residents
who have outlived their resources and it connects us to our legacy from our founding
in 1899. The other main fundraising need will be the renovation of the Wilson
Chapel. We are seeking gifts of support to raise $250,000 in 2015.
We also grew our Living Legacy membership at Twin Towers by 4 new members
in 2014. Members are those persons who have placed Twin Towers in their estate
plans, have done a charitable gift annuity, made a gift of insurance by placing Twin
Towers as a beneficiary, or have directed a portion or all of their refund for living at
Twin Towers or have made us aware of future memorial gifts to Twin Towers upon
their passing. If you are interested in learning more please call Molly Talbot at
719-3540 or Tom Reusch at 853-2009. Happy New Year!!!
