Dorothy "Dotty" Ruth Lanning Leatherwood, 71, passed away on August 29 with her soul mate and childhood sweetheart of 60 years at her side. While she most often could be found working in her garden or in the kitchen cooking for her family, Dotty also served her community in many ways. She spent 41 years of her career in health care management and administra- tion. Some of her titles include President, NC Human Resource Administration; Board Chair, Cleveland County Partnership for Children; Chair, United Way Personnel Committee; Chair, Abuse Prevention and Homeless Council; Chair, Personnel Committee of Hospice of Cleveland County; Chair, Alliance for Health; Immediate Past President and Trainer, Rotary Club of Shel- by; Past President and Volunteer, Extension Master Gardener Association of Cleveland County. In 2010, Cleveland County Chamber of Commerce presented Dotty with the Athena Award, recognizing her professional excellence, her provision of valuable service to her community and her active assistance to women in attainment of professional excellence and leadership skills. Dotty was an Adjunct Professor for the Physician Assistant Program at Gardener-Webb and also served on Boards for American Society for Healthcare Human Resource Administra- tion, Council on Drug and Alcohol Prevention, United Way, Cleveland Area Mental Health Cen- ter, Mayors Task Force on Homelessness, Hospice of Cleveland County, Rotary Club, American Healthcare Philanthropy Association and GWU Continuing Education Advisory Board.

(4th & Final Part of the "WEATHER" series) Most people faith- fully listen to the weather forecast, so that they can be prepared. When the weather hits, no one wants to be uncom- fortable or annoyed, because they are not properly dressed. I per- sonally don't want to be without a jacket when it is cold, or an umbrella when it's raining! Likewise, sometimes we faithfully pay atten- tion to day-to-day occurrences like the weather forecast, but are oblivious to spiritual reali- ties. Jesus states in Matthew 16:2-3 (ESV) "....When it is evening, you say 'it will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' And in the morn- ing, 'It will be stormy today, for' the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot in- terpret the signs of the times." A Reliable Source With the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947, biblical scholars are admitting that the Old Testament prophecies are valid. In 2 Peter 1:20-21 (ESV), Apostle Peter states, "Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpre- tation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." While some people read the zodiac for guid- ance of their future, I recommend the bible as a trustworthy and verifiable resource to find out God's plans for your destiny! More Predictions Like many of us, the disciples wanted to know when the world would end. In Matthew 24:7, 10,12,14 (NLT) Jesus states, "Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. Sin will be rampant every- where, and the love of many will grow cold. And the Good News about the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come." Although we will never know the exact date of the end of the world, or the end of our lives, we must strive to be spiritually prepared. This world is temporary, but eter- nity is forever. PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Lord God, you are omnipotent, knowing all things in the past, present, and future. You set time in place for us, but eternity is your domain. I praise your holy name! Father, for- give me for not always discerning the signs of the times, because I am distracted by daily life. Help me to pay attention to spiritual things, especially warnings that you give. Lord, I want to be ready to meet you whether it's during your return, or when I take my last breath. My future is in your hands, my steps are ordered by you, and I commit my life to you. In Jesus' name I pray - Amen." Danyale Patterson would love to hear from you! Contact her at www.danyale.com to share a testimony, send a prayer request, or book her to speak. What's the Forecast?
