Heart with ribbon signifies the gift aspect of Organ Donation. Image courtesy of http://organdonor.gov/. The human body is an amazing structure. Just when we think we have learnt everything there is to know about it a fresh new discovery comes along that catches everyone by surprise. And then there is the brain, that intricate computer which no one has fully understood. We take our bodies for granted but as St. Paul wrote in 1Corinthians 6:19 “your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit”. We have to treat it with dignity, respect and love. We have been “fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Eunice Jones Mathews and Bishop Mathews acknowledge the enthusiastic appreciation of the 2004 General Conference on Mrs. Mathews 90th birthday. PITTSBURGH (UMNS)-- It's not every day that the United Methodist Church gets to honor one of its leading lights before her years of history- making have passed into memory. Yet, on April 29 the top legislative body of the denomination paid tribute to Eunice Jones Mathews- -a living legend in the church's history of mission. The 998 delegates to General Conference and hundreds of visitors honored her 90th birthday with a "Happy Birthday" chorus and a reception at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.
