The document provides instructions for what to do if experiencing a heart attack while alone in a car. It advises to not panic, but to start coughing repeatedly and taking deep breaths before each cough. This is because coughing squeezes the heart and keeps blood circulating, while deep breaths get oxygen to the lungs. This technique can help the heart regain its normal rhythm until help arrives or the symptoms subside. The document stresses sharing this potentially life-saving information with others.Temple Leadership Seminar Outlook Talk 2 19 2009

The document summarizes the state of the US economy in early 2009. It notes that actual 2008 economic growth, employment, and inflation were significantly weaker than had been forecast the previous year. Housing prices declined substantially across most states and the sharp drops in home values and stock prices reduced household wealth. The recession caused job losses averaging 250,000 per month since late 2007, and unemployment rose significantly. Businesses reduced inventories and cut back on investment in response to weak sales and economic uncertainty.Vladimir Kush

BIO by Vladimir Kush
My American odyssey.
I was born in Russia, in a small one-storied wooden house on the northern edge of Moscow, near the forest-park Sokolniki where in patriarchal times Russian Tsars were engaged in falconry.
My career as an artist began when I was a child of 3 or 4.
My father was a scientist, but everyone on his side of the family used to draw all the time. I remember, how in the long winter evenings I used to sit on my father's lap finishing his drawings: boy running on skis, an old man walking by with the cane...
Just then came to me the sensation of huge open spaces - I knew that beyond the nearby wood the snow-covered great Russian plain stretched on, unimpeded, for thousands of kilometers. And I conceived a dream to absorb the space into myself, to reach the edge of the earth- in the north, where the White Sea begins, or on the south, where Black Sea - Pontus Euxinus of Ancient Greeks - laps the steppes.
At the age of 7, I attended two schools, The first half of the day I went to regular high school. The second half was spent in the art classes until 9 p.m. While riding the subway for one and a half hours each way, I did my home-work for the regular school.
Art school was a world of a new inspiration. The class I attended allowed total artistic freedom. I learned much about the famous Renaissance painters, impressionists, post-impressionists, and contemporary artists. Here I painted my first surreal picture.
When I was 17, I took difficult exams and entered Moscow Art Institute.
When I was 18, I entered into a mandatory two-year stint of military service. After six months of infantry training, the commander of my unit decided that better use could be made of me painting murals and big canvases. Of course, I had to include military elements in these romantic or even fantastic landscapes. In one of those paintings, a radio transmitter was put on top of iceberg in the middle of an ocean.
In 1987, I began selling my paintings and exhibiting with the Union of Artists. At that time, I was invited to paint a series of portraits for the U.S. Embassy staff. I eventually had to curtail my work on these portraits after the KGB became suspicious of my involvement with Americans.
My father's influence at that time was enormous. He said that in ancient Greece, art and math were considered alike. A mathematician, my father taught me that the plot of a painting must be like a code for solving a task, and as such, must crystal clear to capture the essence of a subject.
I had a successful show in Germany in 1990 with two other Russian Artists. I then flew to Los Angeles, where I had sent 20 of my recent works for a showing. This was a beginning of my American odyssey.
The dream about the wanderings across the wide open spaces, eventually brought me to the Hawaiian island of Maui - the World Navel, there the infinity of Great Ocean merges into the infinity of bottomless Cosmos. The "umbilical cord" connecting these open spaces, could be seen from windows of my house- it is a super-telescope through which the mankind for the first time saw the most ancient spots of our universe- places where drops of space condensing, turn into drops of time...Budapest Shoes(Nx Power Lite) Noemi

Discipleship is important because it fosters spiritual growth, deepens a believer's relationship with God, and equips them to live out their faith and share it with others. It's a process of learning, growing, and becoming more like Christ, guided by God's Word and through relationships with other believers.
Here's a more detailed look at why discipleship is important:
1. Fulfilling the Great Commission:
Jesus commanded his followers to "make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19-20).
Discipleship is the practical outworking of this command, going beyond initial conversion to ongoing growth and transformation.
It involves teaching believers to obey all that Jesus commanded, not just initial beliefs.
2. Growing in Spiritual Maturity:
Discipleship helps believers mature in their faith, moving beyond basic understanding to a deeper knowledge of God and His will.
It involves learning to apply biblical principles to all areas of life, including relationships, work, and service.
Through discipleship, believers can develop Christ-like character traits and learn to live a life of purpose and meaning.
3. Building Stronger Communities:
Discipleship fosters unity and mutual support within the church community.
It encourages believers to encourage, challenge, and pray for one another.
When believers are actively involved in discipleship, they are more likely to participate in church life and contribute their gifts to the body of Christ.
4. Empowering Believers to Share Their Faith:
Discipleship equips believers to effectively share their faith with others and invite them to follow Jesus.
It provides the tools and confidence needed to disciple others, creating a ripple effect of spiritual growth.
Discipleship is not just about personal growth; it's also about reaching out to the world with the love and message of Christ.
5. Impacting the World for Christ:
Discipleship is essential for building a strong and vibrant church that can impact communities and the world for Christ.
Disciples who are equipped to live out their faith can make a significant difference in their families, workplaces, and neighborhoods.
By making disciples, the church can continue to grow and fulfill its mission of reaching the lost and transforming lives. Despite the benefits, many self-professing Christians today are not involved in discipleship. A recent study from the Barna Group showed that 39% of Christians were not engaged in discipleship at allthat is a huge percentage! And while 61% said they were involved in some level of discipleship, there are different levels of involvement.
In the Barna study, they defined Christians who were engaged in discipleship community as those who were both being discipled by someone and discipling others. We understand that discipleship is a broad term, and can encompass many things. For reference, here is how we define discipleship at Life on Life:

In ministry, women have diverse roles focused on service, discipleship, and support, contributing to the church and community through various activities. While some denominations restrict women from certain leadership positions like pastor or elder, women actively participate in teaching, evangelism, prayer, worship, and service within the church. They also play a vital role in women's ministry, fostering spiritual growth, community, and outreach.
Here's a more detailed look:
General Roles:
Discipleship and Mentorship:
Women can mentor other women, teaching them about the Bible and helping them grow in their faith.
Service and Volunteering:
Women are encouraged to use their gifts to serve the church and community, whether through hospitality, event planning, or other practical needs.
Evangelism and Outreach:
Women can share their faith with others, invite people to church, and participate in outreach programs.
Spiritual Disciplines:
Women can lead in prayer, fasting, and Bible study, fostering a deeper relationship with God.
Support and Encouragement:
Women can provide emotional support to others, build up the church body, and encourage church leaders. What do you do when you face these giants in life? How do you face the giants in your life and work? Well, fortunately, we have a wonderful story in the
Specific Examples:
Women's Ministry:
Many churches have specific women's ministries that focus on creating a space for women to connect, learn, and grow together. These ministries often involve Bible studies, social events, and service projects.
Deaconesses:
Some churches have deaconesses who serve in various practical ways within the church, often focusing on ministry to women and families.
Influence on Church Leadership:
Women can have a powerful influence on church leaders, offering support, encouragement, and theological insights.
Biblical Examples:
The Bible offers examples of women who played important roles in ministry, such as Mary Magdalene, who was the first to witness the resurrection, and Lydia, who hosted the Apostle Paul.
Examples of Service:
Women can organize and lead Bible studies, mentor young women, participate in church leadership roles (depending on denomination), and reach out to the community through various service projects.
Key Considerations:
Denominational Differences:
Specific roles and opportunities for women in ministry can vary significantly depending on the denomination and its interpretation of biblical passages.
Gifts and Passions:
Women are encouraged to discover their unique gifts and passions and then use them to serve God and others.
Unity and Community:
Women's ministries can be powerful tools for building unity within the church, fostering positive relationships, and reaching out to the broader community. Facing giants in life and work refers to confronting significant challenges, obstacles, or fears that hinder personal growth, success, or well-being. These "giants" can manifest as personal stru5 Sets of LIFE Lessons to Live By ~ A Free eBook for Wise Living (pdf).pdf
