It is the actual procedure of removing a diseased heart from a patient and replacing it with the heart of a deceased donor. A surgeon would perform the transplant procedure on a patient who has a diseased heart, ...read more

     | 2,460 views

    A Labor Day message on providing caring services, but not simply as self-fulfillment, but as a means to witness.

    The true test of whether what you are doing is real is not how you feel about it when you start. The true test is whether you can keep going and complete your task. Anybody can get excited about a new job. But not everybody can stay by the stuff and finish. Some people get bored, or ...read more

    Do you have a routine? What is your routine? Do you do the same things over and over the same way day after day? We are creatures of habit.
