It's so easy in life for us to receive blessings, many of them almost uncounted, and have things happen in our lives that can help change our lives, improve our lives, and bring the Spirit into our lives.

Science and Technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response.

Diet-related illnesses are causing nearly as many deaths as tobacco-related illnesses.

Once you start to ask patients about their priorities, you discover what they're living for. Once you uncover that, it helps you, as a doctor, decide what to fight for.
