Dr. Farr Speaks at Kiivanis
Thomaston native
Dr. Tommy Farr, ivho
has practiced dentistry
locally since 1980,
spoke to members of
the Thomaston Kiiva
nis Club last iveek on
topics from the chang
ing “business” of den
tistry to Christian
values. Farr said he
“often treats people,
not just their teeth,”
adding that prayer
with patients is not un
common. He always
plays Christian music
in his office, volunteers
in a mobile dental
clinic locally and for
medical missionary
trips abroad, and says
he and his staff “must
have the hearts of ser
vants to be successful”
in the practice.

God Restored Our Family
Doug had high blood pressure, .
and Carrie had interstitial cystitis,
which often causes immense pain.
Their marriage was also suffering.
They had walked with the Lord for
the majority of their lives, yet they
began to question God's love and
His power to heal and deliver them.
Then Doug's dad encouraged them
to go to the For My Life Retreat at Be in Health®.They had
exhausted all other options, so they decided to give it a
try. During their week at the retreat, they understood and
received Father God's love for them and learned how to
recognize and overcome the strongholds in their lives
that affected themselves and their children.
They came home overflowing with hope and continued
to practice the Biblical principles they learned at Be in
Health. Since then, Doug's blood pressure has lowered,
he has overcome food allergies, and Carrie no longer
needs her medications. Even their children have received
healing and peace.
