    Can We Believe the Bible?

    Sixty-six books, combined in one volume. Some forty different authors. Written over about 1,500 years. The Bible is the best selling book of all time, with an estimated printing of five billion to seven billion copies. Why all the interest? The Bible claims to be from God, so its source becomes...

    The true light was coming into the world

    Many Christmas celebrations read from the wonderful account of the Nativity from Luke 2 describing Jesus' birth at Bethlehem. I've started to see John 1:1-18 as a Christmas passage, too. Luke talks about what was happening to the people and John talks about what was happening spiritually.

    Do You Die When You Die?

    Some neuroscientists (not all) believe that all of human experience resides in the biological activity in our brains. They hold that when that activity ends, consciousness ends and the existence of our "self" ceases. Following this end of consciousness, our lives and actions can only be...

    Removal of iv port after stopping IV Radicava

    After 4 1/2 years on IV Radicava I am transitioning to the oral form. I've just made the change (two doses of the oral form so far and no problems) but my doctor and his nurse have both mentioned having my port removed. From what I have read it appears that the removal is not difficult or...

    Transfer disk

    I'm still able to stand from my PWC, and with assistance from the lift chair, but we were having problems transferring because the toes of my feet or slippers would get caught as I tried to pivot. We got a transfer disk, and it has helped. It is 15" in diameter, and like a flat lazy susan. I...

    I'm Grateful for my Wheelchair

    Today I had a feeling of great gratitude for my PWC. It is a wonderful piece of engineering and keeps me comfortable while providing lots of function; really amazing. A lot of people were involved to get me processed and interviewed and measured up and to have the chair delivered, and I am...

    Permobil M3 accessories

    I know this was touched on about a year ago, but I'm striking out finding a cup holder for my Permobil M3. I see a couple of helpful-looking items on their site, but there's no way to buy them. A couple off third parties say they sell them, but you have to request a quote and register. The...

    When Prayer Doesn't Work, Vol. 2

    I took a visit to the earliest posts in this sub. In a thread titled "When Prayer Doesn't Work" I saw this from March, 2012: These ideas resonate very much with me. I, too, have become more grateful for everything and am trying to love others more. The OP was discouraged because prayers for...

    BiPAP "chuffing"

    I got a BiPAP delivered last Thursday (Trilogy EVO), and am using it in the evening with a nasal cushion. Periodically, it starts to make a sound like a steam engine chuffing along, and the little bar that shows the air flow pulses along with it and the air from the nose piece varies with it...

    Mobile Arm Support

    I have a lot of difficulty at times when eating (getting utensils to my mouth), even using both arms. I saw a device called a Mobile Arm Support which attaches to a wheelchair and provides movement on three axes while supporting the arm. It looked kind of pricey ($310 plus $120 for the mounting...
