Have you ever had a sense that there is more to something than what appears on the surface? As a child, you may have walked by a pond and picked up a pebble.

4). The Secrets of Healing From Within By : Dr. Brenda Shoshanna
Modern medicine is based upon the notion of battle. We battle germs and fight for life. As soon as we feel pain or discomfort, we immediately try to stop it from happening and look for some way to soothe what we are going through.

7). Ethical and Religious Considerations in Physician Assisted Suicide By : Sam Oliver
None of us know what we would choose at the end of our life regarding assisted suicide. It is, therefore, a worthy idea to ponder long before we get to that place at the end of our lives whereby we may actually have to make one. In our lives, our soul does have a path that is chosen for us if we look for it. I would encourage you to follow that one.

8). Imprints on the Soul By : Sammy
When I was a resident Chaplain at the University of Kentucky, I would often baptize those who were dying. On one occasion, I was given the task of baptizing an aborted child that did not make it through labor. I was given a small fetus that was not much bigger than my thumb. I remember wondering what this infant's mother looked like and who was the father.

Hide and Seek is a wonderful game to play with your children. The next time you play this game observe what happens.

He had a loving family, his own business, he was a happy, successful man in every way.
