Morningside Ministries, in San Antonio since 1961, is a not-for-profit organization related to the Southwest Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church of San Antonio and the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas. Within our three communities, we offer retirement living, assisted living, personal care, skilled and intermediate nursing, memory care and a community senior center. 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 continued on page 5 . . .

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. – Corrie Ten Boom It’s Rodeo Time . . .

John and Syble Fluth 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.
