I just got home from the VA. I am really happy. I was so worried that I have gained weight, but I have actually lost 10 more pounds. I am down to 175. That means that I am 5 lbs. away from being back at my max Navy weight. I am going to accomplish that. Also, the doc said that my heart, lungs, kidney function and liver function are good. To God be all the glory!!

Word Origin.
Greek, late 16th century

"Praxis" comes from the Greek word "prattein," meaning "do." You've likely heard the phrase "actions speak louder than words," and one usage of "praxis" means essentially just that: turning something from a theory into a lived practice. For centuries, philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato, Immanuel Kant, Karl Marx, and countless others have written about how citizens and governments could implement their ideas into praxis.

"She said, "Don't call the doctor, I want to fall asleep peacefully, with your hand in mine." He told her about the past, how they met, and their first kiss. They didn't cry, they smiled.
They didn't regret anything, they were grateful.
Then she repeated softly, 'I love you forever!' He returned her words, gave her a soft kiss on the forehead. She closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully with her hand in his.
Love is what matters because man comes into this world with nothing other than love and leaves with nothing other than love. Profession, career, bank account, our goods are just tools, nothing more. Everything stays here. Love, as if there was nothing more important in your life."

You may be most familiar with this term in a medical context: The lower third of the human sternum is called the xiphoid process, which is vaguely sword-shaped and can often be seen and felt in newborns. It typically fuses to the rest of the sternum between ages 15 and 30, but it doesn't ossify (harden) until around age 40. The word "xiphoid" hails from the Greek "xiphos," meaning "sword."
