Africa is in the news again and
it’s about the Fboln virus originating
from that continent. But whether tha
is correct is what I choose to address.
It’ s baffling that whenever west
ern scientists fail to diagnose a mys
terious disease, it’ s origin is quickly
blamed on Africa. And that immedi
ately transmogrifies the continent in
the minds o f the ignorant as a den o f
death and diseases. This is unfortu
nate.
Some reports says Ebola is an
animal disease found mostly in green
monkeys that inhabit the K ikw it re

These monkeys provoked the disease

'Monkeys o f all shades and colors
have been in Africa for as long as
creation.
The report did not mention that

It’s the simple fact (hat life begins in
Africa. And the fact that Africa needs

community considers basic health

before now Africans relied on herbs
to cure diseases cause by viruses.
Even today western doctors rely on
African herbs for their research
A ID S , Ebola and other diseases
are not from Africa, creation is.
The question is, do viruses have
the alchemy to play themselves mys

er continents immune from these

cancer, tuberculosis and influenza
comes from? I need an answer.
Let it be known that infectious
disease has always plagued humani

America than Ebola are also more
threatening. That is the truth folks.
researchers from Sweden were in the

did not say that even though you have

there has not be any report o f an

It’ s true that to every region in

(NAPS)—Are you grieving a
loss of some kind? Perhaps you
have lost a loved one to the experi
ence we call death. Perhaps a pet
has died. Perhaps a relationship
you treasure has ended. Or your
company has told you your job is
being phased out.
Loss always hurts. Sometimes
the pain feels as if it will never
end. B ut life alw ays goes on.
James Dillet Freeman, writer and
poet laureate for Unity School of
C hristianity, compares life to a
road “that winds among the hills
of tim e.” People, says Freem an,
are travelers on that road.
“Some pass quickly beyond the
bend in the road... some walk be
side us all the way,” he writes.
“Some seem to creep along, and
some pass as swiftly as runners. But
life cannot be measured in terms of
time, only in terms of living.”
It is springtime in the northern
hemisphere. New plants are push
ing through the soil; birds are
returning from their winter homes.
What appeared to be a loss last
November is returning as new life
this spring. Author Richard Bach
has written: “What the caterpillar
calls the end of the world, the mas
ter calls a butterfly.”
For a free pamphlet on how to
deal with loss, call 1-800-669-0282
and ask for “Another Dawn.”
