NOTHING: THE ESSENTIALITY OF THE MOMENTARY HOPE.

What keeps a man alive?
What made Paul say: “For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels won't, and all the powers of hell itself cannot keep God's love away. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, 39 or where we are-high above the sky, or in the deepest ocean-nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God demonstrated by our Lord Jesus Christ when he died for us.”?
He was ABSOLUTELY (emphasis on absolutely) sure that nothing could separate us from the love of God. Does this mean that no matter who I am, where you are, and what we’ve done, we are not inaccessible to the love of God?
I’ve tried to no avail to find something that we would possess physically, regardless of being dead or alive (a key criterion for the impossibly unending love of God). Truth is, I couldn’t come up with one (well, am really not that smart so I’d appreciate kind comments).
I’d love to explain that we are not inaccessible to our brain tissue, regardless of whom we are, whether slave or free, educated or uneducated, in the sea or on land and whether we were dead or alive. Truth is, I can’t. Or I could say that nothing can separate us from the pumping capacity of our heart, and whether we were dead or alive, we would still have blood flowing in our veins. No I can’t! Neither can we live without breathing. Maximally, we would live for a few proven seconds/minutes/hours under such conditions, but once one is certified clinically and legally dead, well…he/she is so separated from the things that sustain the lives of humans.
In effect and as a matter of fact, the human body is still temporal.
However, we are all spirit beings, and my interpretation of Paul’s conviction is that we ALL have access to God’s love, even those who are dead in sin!
May the love of God see you through...and through.

SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1.       REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2.       DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3.       PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches.

 EPISODE 3 ‘Oya sorry now, we’re almost there.’ Felix kept saying as he partially carried his dear friend.  She wouldn’t hear the last of this episode once it was over, that much he knew! ‘Awww…you don’t know how painful awww… this is’ ‘Sorry, sorry’ ; he kept saying So they eventually got to the ER and after pulling out her card, used ‘medical student connection’ to see the resident that was on call in Internal Medicine unit. ‘Hello dear’ , Dr. Brown said, looking keenly at the girl that was almost doubled over in pain ‘I think you should lie down on that couch’ ‘What exactly is the problem?’ ‘She just started complaining about her abdomen about half an hour ago’ ‘Oh’. ‘Can you point to where exactly the pain started?’ he asked ‘Here’ . Linda pointed to the area around her umbilicus. ‘Have you had any episode of vomiting?’ ‘No sir’ Felix answered spontaneously. ‘You must be her boyfriend, right?’ Dr.Brown asked, with a mischievious grin ...

EPISODE 5 ‘So, really, whose patient is she?’ Doctor Afuarida asked with impatience written all over his face Bola indicated, her body language reeking of timidity, ‘Sir, she was supposed to be my patient, but I haven’t been able to clerk her’ ‘Oh, really? She was supposed to be?’ ‘Do you even have any other patient on the ward?’ ‘Ehm…no sir. But my other patient has just been discharged’ ‘Please, leave my ward round. You are obviously unprepared to truly learn the art of medicine.’ She knew better than to plead and therefore, walked out with the little dignity she still had left. He continued lecturing the rest of the students ‘You know, whatever you do now will speak later in life and especially in your medical career. If you want to be a good doctor, it definitely begins from now- taking responsibility’ Dr.Amao, please give me a summary on this patient ’22 year old female, had appendectomy done. 1 st day post-op. Mild pain at op-site. Currently on IV Met...
