Parenting at a Distance Staying in touch with the children who live in your heart but not in your home. As a bipolar mother I will never have custody of my children.
That is the hardest thing I had to accept. Parenting at a Distance helps me send
them activities that will help them remember me with some happy memories. I am
getting better and they are getting older. Some day there will be an opportunity
for us to sit together. I will tell them how much joy I found in putting
together their projects and I hope they will be able to tell me how much they
enjoyed my efforts. Really a good book. Meghan Morris --Letter to the publisher

Assemblies of God Marriage Encounter
Marriage Encounter, is a weekend away from home, family and responsibilities where in a comfortable, secluded environment a couple is guided in the discovery of new techniques of communicating and sharing with one another. It is not a retreat, but it is a program designed to give couples the opportunity to examine their lives together, their weaknesses and strong points, their attitudes toward each other and toward their families. Couples are given the opportunity to look at themselves, privately with their partner in an honest, face-to-face, heart-to-heart encounter.
Engaged Encounter, is a weekend experience designed to help couples
prepare personally and as a couple for marriage. The focus is on the
marriage, not on the wedding. "A wedding is a day ... a marriage is a
lifetime." Couples are shown communication and decision-making
techniques they can use throughout their lifetime together. Engaged
Encounter is specifically designed for quiet reflection and discussion
by each couple. It is a positive, simple, common-sense experience
between two people who are either seriously considering engagement,
engaged or recently married. At no time will the couple be asked to
share their private experiences with the group.

Pro bono programs are operated by state, county or local bar associations; by legal services programs; by other agencies in the community or independently. They use local attorneys who have agreed to provide free legal representation to eligible persons referred by the pro bono program. There are tens of thousands of attorneys throughout the country who volunteer their services through these programs.
