Quote of the day

In asking that God's will be done, we are instructing our minds to focus on the beauty in life, to see all the reasons to celebrate instead of mourn.

Quote of the Day

Fear is an illusion. Our craziness, paranoia, anxiety, and trauma are literally all imagined. That is not to say they don't exist for us as human beings. They do. But our fear is not our ultimate reality, and it does not replace the truth of who we really are. —Excerpted from A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles

Inspirational Story

Let not your heart be troubled. . . . John 14:1

After my cardiologist recommended that I take a heart test, I learned it would take days, maybe a week, to get his report. In the meantime, the possibilities kept turning in my mind. Another angioplasty? Open-heart surgery? It began to get the best of me until I remembered my days as a young man with Walgreen Drugstores. Back then, when they had soda fountains, I worked in one as a waiter. I learned to make milkshakes, hot fudge sundaes and tuna-salad sandwiches. After the first few days, I felt at home—except when carrying cups of coffee to the diners. Protocol was to serve it in a dry saucer; spills were poor form. Try as I might, I couldn’t walk across the room without spilling some. It was embarrassing. I would carefully watch the coffee as I walked, only to see it dribble over. The more I tried, the more my hands shook. A co-worker helped me out. “Don’t look at the coffee,” she advised. “Focus on where you’re going. The cup will take care of itself.” Her advice didn’t make sense to me, but in desperation I gave it a try. It took all my willpower to look straight ahead. But to my relief, when I set down the cup, the saucer was dry. By thinking so much about my heart test, I was letting the “What ifs?” spill into my mind. So instead of dwelling on them, I concentrated on my work and the tasks of the day and trusted in God. And like that cup of coffee, the test results came out okay. Lord, my life is never free of worries. Remind me that focusing on the positive cuts them down to size. By Richard Schneider

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9

October is harvest time, reminding us that the good earth’s abundance can always be relied upon. In a similar but much greater way, God’s love and kindness are constant and dependable. When we have problems and challenges – and we all do, at some time or another – we can turn to God and cast our cares upon Him, knowing that He is ever-present and ever-mindful of the needs of His children.

Thank you Lord for all the blessings

It's been a year since Kcat and I started our search to make one of her wish to come true. . .for her to hear again. . . It was first week of August when Kcat told me her conversation with God asking Him about GOD's TIME. 2008 was God's answer to her. In mid August, Kcat found in the net an aswer, the Auditory Brainstem Implant, a device that would help her hear the world again. We both started doing thorough research on this. with the help of her ENT and Neurosurgeon, I was able to meet the medical team who did the ABI here in the Phils. Then I made thorough research on ABI and more than researching, I was able to get medical advise from one of the author of ABI, Dr. Derald Brackmann of House Ear Institute in LA.

A Strong Cup Of Coffee Award

Thanks for the award, Kcat!

Quote of the day

There is an old cliche, 'You can see the glass half empty, or you can see it half full.' You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right. But whatever you focus on, you're going to get more of. Creation is an extension of thought. Think lack, and you get lack. Think abundance, and you get more.

Excerpted from A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles

Usually we figure out what we think would make us happy, and then try to make those things happen. But happiness isn't circumstance-dependent. There are people who have every reason in the world to be happy who aren't. There are people with genuine problems who are. The key to happiness is the decision to be happy.

Disease is love turned into fear--our own energy, meant to sustain us, turned against ourselves. Energy cannot be destroyed. Our job is not to kill disease, but to turn its energy back in the direction it came from--to turn fear back into love.

Quote of the Day

If we were to achieve a state in which only love and caring filled our minds, and neither past nor future lay as burdens on our shoulders, aging would become a youthing process. Spiritually, we should be getting younger the older we get, since the only purpose of time is that we learn to more consistently relinquish our attachment to form. Then the body springs into perfect life, a healthy instrument and a thing of joy.

To Pray Lord help me to never lose sight of the things in my life that really matter.

THE INFANT HEARING SCREENING PROGRAM

the infant hearing screening program, don't you think we also need to have like this in the Phils?Let's help the Philippine National Ear Institute campaign for this soon. . .


Infant Hearing Testing Collaboration Formed
Todd B.Sauter, M.A., CCC-A Audiology Supervisor - UMass Memorial Medical Center

The Audiology Department at UMass Memorial is extremely fortunate to have formed a cooperative effort with Dr. Peter Foley, M.D., Ph.D., Chief of Pediatric Anesthesiology, for auditory evoked response testing requiring anesthesia. Auditory evoked response testing is the best objective test of frequency-specific auditory sensitivity in infants. The test battery includes the gold standard of tone-burst auditory brainstem response (ABR) as well as the auditory steady-state response (ASSR). This testing is extremely accurate and non-invasive; its only requirement is approximately 60 minutes of consistent sleep.

UMass Memorial is the only center in the region to use a dedicated pediatric anesthesiologist for this type of procedure, which maximizes safety for the testing. Also, because the anesthesia recovery areas of the hospital are utilized, several infants can be tested in a single time-block. This significantly reduces the waiting period to have the test scheduled and results in faster diagnosis.

Equally important, sleep is better controlled than typical in-clinic sedation, thus a complete, and extremely accurate frequency-specific test is guaranteed. The need for multiple tests, which can be emotionally taxing for parents, is eliminated. As the procedure is not performed in a sound treated room, intra-aural foam inserts are used to attenuate ambient room noise. The room is constantly monitored and controlled to ensure ambient noise does not interfere with test accuracy.

Fast and safe identification of infants and children with suspected hearing loss is crucial. A delay in diagnosis in these patients will create an unnecessary delay in intervention services such as hearing aids, cochlear implants, and oral or manual communication therapy. Undiagnosed hearing loss can adversely affect speech and language acquisition, social and emotional development, and academic achievement. Early, and accurate detection and intervention can reduce or eliminate these effects.
