"Philippians 4:12 reveals a profound truth: there is a “secret to learning contentment.” As Paul shows in the next verse, the secret is the strength Christ provides: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” This verse is a powerful reminder that our ability to be content comes from Christ’s strength.
Think of a tree: we only see the part above ground, but the unseen roots gather the vital resources. Similarly, the spiritual roots that go deep into Christ for the strength He provides are the essential part of contentment nobody sees.
With Being Content God’s Way, you will…
• learn to “be content with what you have” (Hebrews 13:5)
• enjoy personal stories and application to daily life
• be equipped to put off covetousness (Colossians 3:5)
• receive biblical answers to common questions
• discover why “godliness with contentment is great gain” (1 Timothy 6:6-10)
Contentment is not an elusive concept. Instead, it is a tangible reality within our reach through a relationship with Christ."

My father, John, passed away from Alzheimer’s, as did his father, Arnold. Months ago, I learned that my uncle has Alzheimer’s, and today I learned that my aunt does too. The message fittingly read: “This disease is so prevalent on the LaPierre side of the family,” and then, because of the years with my dad, “Scott, if you have any words of advice or things to help us, we would appreciate it.”
As I prepared the advice, it turned out to be much longer than I anticipated. I thought that if it could help the family members I share with, I should put it on my blog to hopefully help others who have to walk through this disease with a loved one. So here are the seven pieces of advice I have for loved ones with Alzheimer’s.
