My healthcare discipline led me to god
There are moments in life when God does not call us through thunder or spectacle, but through quiet obedience—through daily work done with compassion, humility, and care. My journey into healthcare began with a desire to help people feel better. I did not initially realize that through healing others, God Himself was gently healing me, drawing me closer to Him through every patient I met, every story I held, and every limitation I faced as a practitioner.

The Winter Ritual That Brings Me Back to God
Winter in Canada doesn’t ask permission before it arrives. It settles in quietly, almost reverently, as if the season itself remembers the One who spoke creation into being. Before the first snow touches the ground, winter announces itself through a slow dimming of the afternoon sky, a deeper chill in the morning air, and the way the light folds inward earlier each day. I have lived through many winters now, but each year, the first sign of the season still catches me off guard. It feels like the world is exhaling, preparing for a long rest.

Creation of Materia Medica & Functional Application
Herbal medicine has served as a foundational form of healthcare for centuries, relied upon for its ability to prevent, manage, and alleviate a wide variety of health conditions using plant-based remedies. Its long-standing use demonstrates the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants and emphasizes the importance of understanding their actions, safety profiles, and proper applications. This project represents both an academic and experiential exploration of herbal medicine, merging theoretical study with hands-on practice. It consists of two major components: the creation of an individualized Materia Medica containing 30 herbal monographs, and the completion of practical tasks involving the cultivation or preparation of herbal products. Together, these components strengthen comprehension of herbal actions while promoting confidence in applying herbal knowledge in real-life health situations.

Daily Forgiveness and Fellowship With God
When Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, He didn’t give them a vague suggestion or a loose idea—He gave them a pattern, a divine structure meant to shape the rhythm of their spiritual lives. In the Lord’s Prayer, found in Matthew 6:9–13, Jesus directs His followers to pray, “Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” This request for daily forgiveness was not intended to make believers question their salvation or wonder if God’s grace had expired overnight. Instead, Jesus was teaching us the importance of maintaining close fellowship with God every single day. Daily forgiveness is not about renewing salvation; it is about keeping our relationship with God pure, open, and unhindered.

Analyzing the role of Enzymes
INTRODUCTION Enzymes are indispensible biological catalysts in food processing, which considerably improves the efficiency and quality of various products (Abdullahi et al., 2021). Activation energy is reduced, allowing biochemical reactions to break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats. This enhances flavor, texture, and nutritional value. The growing demand for food quality has stimulated innovations in enzyme technology to ensure more sustainable production across all areas, including baking, brewing, dairy and meat production (Li et al., 2012). However, temperature, pH, and inhibitors can cause instability and effect the enzyme’s activity. This project will focus on the use of enzymes in the food industry and the challenges in their use and optimization.

Light bulb as a potent object
My position in this paper is to argue that technology is the application of a body of knowledge through the use of tools and processes in the production of goods and services. Technology is a kind of applied knowledge. It predates science and has a large science component. This paper focuses on the light bulb as a potent object. Here, I will briefly explain its history, science and technology and its impact on the society.
