You Are Beautiful

In the ugliness of abuse the after-effects are long-lasting.  They are like the searing sting of a branding.  ACE seeks to rewrite that damage with a new future--something beautiful.

I found this video to be profoundly beautiful.  Enjoy this brief video.  Maybe it can bring healing to a seared spot in your heart.

Dinner 2011 Update

Our first ever ACE Overcomers Fundraiser Dinner was a huge success.  Thank you to everyone who came, everyone who volunteered, everyone who donated something.  We could not have put this together without you.  The food was wonderful, the conversation was excellent, the presentation was profound, the testimonies were amazing.  The whole event was just plain spectacular.  Thank you, again.  I will leave you with just a few images of the event:

Because of His love,

CDC - ACE Study

In the link below (the image) you can find the ACE Study located on the Center for Disease Control website. Using the links to the left (in the blue area) you can maneuver through the data, the statistics, the demographics, and more.

The bible study that we facilitate was developed after these findings were discovered.
