Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Ways To Be Supportive During A Death In The Family

By Roy Schutjer


Death is never a good thing. Having to cope with death can be a tough time in someones life. Even if you are not directly affected it can be devastating for family members.

When death occurs it is painful to deal with. This is more so when loved ones are so aggrieved that they cannot be consoled. Finding a way to calm them can be difficult.

Whenever a loved one is grieving, try as much as possible to be around for him. Try and let the person know that you are there for them and they can call on you always. Don't try and be like most people by avoiding this situation because it makes you feel uncomfortable.

Knowing that your presence alone is required to bring calm and warmth is good. Don't try and send cards or flowers as physical presence is what is needed. Always know that whatever the case it will be uncomfortable in your family whenever there is death.

To some flowers are flowers, but individual flowers are good for each occasion. Picking a wrong one can be disrespectful and a disgrace. This therefore requires careful planning and care whenever you want to pick an arrangement for the funeral. Always select a color that will best fit the character of the dead when he was alive.

If the deceased was vibrant then consider pink lilies or daisies. In life in they were calm and collected then try white roses. Take as much time as is necessary to buy the best item don't be rush and buy the first thing you see.

When you are grieving know that time heals all wounds and that though it is hard and painful today within time you will be alright.

Be sure to be there for someone when they are within this period as your support might make the difference.

The Relationship Between Motivation And Thought Patterns

By Winston Waltz


It is normal for people to start listing things that they did wrong, when they find themselves in some sort of problem. They start thinking about the work out sessions that they missed on due to their laziness; about the extra calories that they ate up just because they could not help it; about the job opportunities they missed on, etc. nonetheless, they find it hard to find the motivation to do the right thing.

In any case, positive motivation works the best. Negative motivation will not get much done.

If you want to stop smoking, for example, you would need to do it yourself.

You are totally aware of the fact that smoking drains on your economic resources. It is not widely appreciated. By smoking, you are also putting the lives of your loved ones at risk. However, this kind of motivation does not work in most cases.

Positive motivation is what you need. Think of all the good things that will happen, once you quit. You can save money and plan a nice vacation for yourself. This sounds a lot better and motivating than telling yourself how bad is smoking.

This is the system of reward. Rewarding yourself for doing something appropriate strengthens the behavior. This is the theory that is being utilized in schools for the longest time. Children are motivated by being awarded with a star every time they do their homework right. This works better than threatening them with expulsion. Punishment can make children rebellious.

Therefore, whatever yourself improvement goals are, always try to motivate yourself in the positive manner. The outcomes will be in your favor,

This way there is likelihood of you getting what you really desire and in less time than you ever imagined.

Can The Kjv Bible Measure Up To The Believers Authority Test

By Rod Nelson


In religious circles it may be the in thing to have the newest improved bible.

Have you been swept up into this idea of finding a better translation? When the details of God's will and your eternal salvation don't matter the new will be fine but consider the 5,000 differences when compared to the King James if details do matter.

Coming from a corrupt text is the reason why there are so many conflicts. New translations are a more modern language then the KJV but the original manuscripts differ from what the KJV Bible came from. So the real issue is not about translation it is about the original TEXT used.

Here is a quick check to see if you have a corrupt bible, turn to Colossians 1:14. Does this verse contain "through his blood" if not your text is corrupt.

Translators could not translate what was never there.

To appreciate our King James Bible it is noteworthy to understand the process that it came from. Our bible was preserved through the doctrine of inspiration and preservation.

The Bible Believers View. The inspired & preserved Word of God can be held. An all powerful God preserved his Word throughout history through multiple copies that are the same as the originals. The King James Version Bible is from this preserved lineage for the English language. This view answers these questions.

1 - how will I identify the inspired words.

2 - how His inspired words are preserved.

3 - where the inspired words are.

You can not claim the bible as your lives authority without recognizing the claim that the Word of God makes of itself. The bible can not be of any authority to you if it is not your final authority.

Bible believers should accept as their final authority what is God's final authority.

An introduction to clinical ethics

By Finley R. Newton


Clinical ethics, or medical ethics, is a branch of moral principles that applies directly to the practice of medicine. Ethical values and judgements are not just applied to patients, but other medical staff, and can be practical as well as theoretical and philosophical. Moral values such as compassion, honesty, respect, trust and commitment all play an important part when practicing good, ethical medicine.

Many books written on health care express that there are four main principles to respect; autonomy (the rights of self-determination), non-maleficence (to first do no harm), beneficence (promote the well-being of others) and fairness. However, some of those practicing medicine have found that these principles do not always transfer across to the reality of clinical settings.

Instead, health care book Clinical Ethics: A Practical Approach to Ethical Decisions in Clinical Medicine has identified a slightly different set of four principles - medical indications, patient preferences, quality of life and contextual features - which is explained by: "Although the facts of each case differ, these four topics are always relevant."

Whichever set of morals a medical professional chooses to use, whether it is one of these two or a different set altogether, they always have to deal with the same types of ethical concerns and issues on a day-to-day basis. These clinical ethics may include confidentiality, euthanasia, conflicts of interest, informed consent, communication or cultural concerns, each of which requires the medical professional to answer them with the ultimate goal of what is best for the patient.

Of course clinical ethics is also about the medical professionals as well, not just the patient. Again, staff may have to find moral solutions and answers to such questions as when to report a colleague's error. But whatever ethical issues medical staff have to face, they must find solutions which fit in with the social, legal, economic and administrative context in which the case occurs.
