Background

One of my patients—I’ll call her Mrs. Jones—has severe hypertension. Apparently, it runs in her family, as she tells me that her mother had “high pressure,” as do two of her siblings.

In all of the cases within the family, the hypertension has come on in late middle age.

Spiritual Assessment

The Jones family is quite religious. I base this judgment on my observations of the family and from the conversations I’ve ...

Worship Service #1

Place: 820 S West End Blvd Personal Connection to this place? None The Seventh Day Adventist Church is a church that believes to please God you must worship on a Saturday, because it is commanded in the Holy Bible.

Nothing is eternal. Everything is subject to extinction. Nevertheless, the ruining effect of time pays particular merci to those items, which represent art in its transparent implication.

Therefore, art itselfthis is just a dainty imagethe power of eternityidea which makes artistic items live on through centuries. Within the frameworks of ...
