Visions
by Alvin A. Loewenberg
President, Morningside Ministries
There are leaders in our midst. They are not too difficult to recognize. They stand out
from the crowd. They come in all shapes and sizes and from all stations of life. There
are no particular jobs or positions to which leaders are drawn. They cover all salary
ranges and ranks. They can be found in corporate boardrooms as well as behind a
serving line in dietary, walking a resident in the rehab unit or sweeping the floor in
assisted living. They often are found in the most unexpected places.
There have been thousands
of books written about leadership
by notable leaders and by some
not so notable. In this edition of
Lifetime Living we are recognizing
individuals among the staff and
board of directors of Morningside
Ministries who have distinguished
themselves as leaders. As a tribute
to them, let me suggest a few
characteristics that they share.
A good leader cares less about
doing the right thing and more
about what is right. They are folks
of great integrity and clarity of
mission. They are people with big
picture understanding. They do not
get bogged down in the details, but
see the details as forming the path
that leads to greater innovation and
positive outcomes. Leaders care
little about getting the credit and
more about motivating the team to
accomplish goals.
Leaders are not happy for long
with the status quo. They know
they have a responsibility to push
themselves and the team to greater
potential and realization.
Leaders have definite ideas
and opinions, but they encourage
others to express divergent thoughts.
They are not easily threatened or
intimidated when they know they
are on the right track, but they listen
and hear, and are quick to change
direction when it is necessary.
Good leaders care about others.
They are concerned about team
members as individuals and as a
group. They recognize that each
member of a team has something
positive to contribute to the whole.
Leaders never take themselves
too seriously. They are grateful
for the opportunity to give, serve
and participate, and they recognize
the wisdom and generosity of the
leaders who came before them.
Leaders evaluate and make
prudent decisions. They are not
afraid to take risks if the benefits
to be gained outweigh the risks
involved. Leaders learn from failure
and are not devoured by it.
Leaders are more interested
in negotiating a positive outcome
than in winning at all costs. They
accept change as an inevitable
and necessary part of growth. In
fact, they embrace change when
it can usher in productivity and
enlightened ways of doing things.
Leaders have faith in today and
hope for tomorrow. The past is their
training ground and their source of
wisdom.
Great leaders know that positive
relationships open locked doors and
that a kind and generous regard for
others along the way is often more
valuable and meaningful than the
outcome itself.
Most importantly, leaders know
when to lead, when to follow and
when to get out of the way and let
others lead. They are very willing to

There are leaders throughout Morningside Ministries that lead each day in the work environment by their
actions, words, attitudes and in the way they carry out their responsibilities to residents and fellow employees. They
also carry the torch of leadership away from Morningside Ministries to boards, agencies and religious organizations
throughout the community. In doing so, these leaders share of themselves and of Morningside Ministries. They
represent this organization in very meaningful and giving ways.
I am grateful for our leaders’ involvement at Morningside Ministries and in their desire to reach beyond and
offer their talents to groups outside of the work environment. They give back to a community that has given so
much to Morningside Ministries during our 45-year history. Thank you for stepping ahead of the crowd and leading
the way. You make a huge difference. Our society needs more people like you.
Chaplain’s
Chat
by Chaplain Dennis Smith
Being Calm When Life is Chaotic
A
young father was pushing a stroller through
the park, the child inside screaming at the top
of his lungs. As he wheeled his infant son along the
path, he kept murmuring, “Easy now, Donald. Just
keep calm, Donald. It’s all right, Donald. Just relax,
Donald. It’s gonna be all right, Donald...” A woman
passing by admired the quiet, gentle way the dad
was seeking to comfort his little one. “You certainly
know how to talk to an upset child,” she said as she
leaned over the stroller and cooed, “Ohh, what seems
to be the trouble, Donald?” At which point the father
said, “Oh no… He’s Henry. I’m Donald!”
Most of us know just how Donald feels, don’t
we? World events trouble us. Personal problems
plague us. What are we to do? How in the world do
we find peace in this chaotic world?
Here are a few simple suggestions.
First, remember what Jesus promised. While life
will be filled with problems, God gives us peace. We
can be in the midst of chaotic circumstances yet our
faith in God can carry us through. As he prepared the
disciples for the turmoil they would experience at his
crucifixion, Jesus told them, “I have told you these
“
things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world
you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome
the world.” John 16:33
Second, trust that God will keep his promise. He
did not promise to remove the troubles of life but to
empower us through his Spirit. God did not promise to
make our problems disappear but to enable us to endure
through his Spirit. Paul told the church in Rome, “May
the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you
trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the
power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
Finally, give up on worrying. It drains us of the
energy needed to face life. It’s somewhat like a rocking
chair. It gives us something to do and we find comfort
in our worry, ruminating over our deep fears. But
when we get out of the rocker we find ourselves in
exactly the same spot as when we sat down. Corrie
Ten Boom, who survived imprisonment in the German
concentration camp where her father and sister died,
said, “Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, it
empties today of its strength.”
Peace be with you!
”
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its
sorrows, it empties today of its strength.

Recently, Nadia, a friend of my wife Angela, told
me that she has high cholesterol and asked me to
write a diet for her so she could reduce her intake
of cholesterol. Nadia realizes that I am not a
nutritionist but knows that I am an avid enthusiast
of fitness and nutrition. With these credentials not
withstanding, I set out to tell Nadia what I know
about cholesterol and how you can control it.
There are three main types of fats:
Tryglicerides, which compose more than 95
percent of our body fat; phospholipids, which
make up cell membranes; and sterols, a type
of cholesterol that helps the body manufacture
estrogen and testosterone. Cholesterol is found
only in foods that come from animal sources such
as meat and dairy products and is “essential,”
meaning that our bodies produce it in the liver.
Cholesterol is also one of the four components of
lipoproteins which allow fat-soluble lipids to be
carried through the water-soluble bloodstream.
Lipoproteins are categorized into LDLs or
Low-Density Lipoproteins and HDLs or HighDensity Lipoproteins. LDLs are made up of more
cholesterol and less protein and HDLs have more
protein and less cholesterol. These are measured
during a blood test.
The first thing I would advise Nadia to do is to
return to her doctor to find out what her HDL to LDL
ratio is. A more accurate determinate of cholesterol is
not the total score but the ratio of HDLs to LDLs. A
good ratio is less than three. If Nadia has a ratio higher
than three, I would advise her to do the following to
increase her HDLs:
• Reduce the amount of saturated fat in her diet
(animal products) and to eat more mono and poly
unsaturated fat (plant-based) products.
• Increase her intake of soluble fiber such as apples,
whole wheat, oatmeal, pears and legumes.
• Increase her intake of Omega-3 fatty acids found
in cold-water fish such as salmon, tuna and herring.
These are also found in walnuts.
• Participate in a regular, sustained aerobic exercise
program three to four times a week for approximately
30-45 minutes each session.
There are also two types of medications for
lowering cholesterol: Bile acid sequestants – these
bind cholesterol in the colon and carry it out of the
body and Statin drugs – such as Lipitor. These drugs
inhibit cholesterol production by the liver.
As all drugs, these also have side effects.
