All I Have Is Yours, Lord: A Reflection on Grace and Gratitude

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE All I Have Is Yours, Lord A reflection on grace, gratitude, humility and the beauty of surrender What do I have that I did not receive? What can I truly claim as mine apart from grace? There are moments when we need to pause and look beyond our achievements, possessions, abilities and ambitions. We may work hard for what we accomplish, make sacrifices for our families and spend years developing our talents. Yet, beneath every achievement lies a deeper truth: life itself is a gift.

🩺 Understanding Viral Hepatitis

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can be caused by viruses, alcohol misuse, certain medicines, autoimmune diseases, or other medical conditions. The five major hepatitis viruses—A, B, C, D, and E—differ in their modes of transmission, severity, and treatment options. Hepatitis A and E are generally spread through contaminated food or water, while hepatitis B, C, and D are primarily transmitted through contact with infected blood or certain body fluids. Chronic hepatitis B and C infections can significantly increase the risk of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer if left untreated.

🛡️ Prevention Saves Lives

💉 Vaccination

Safe and effective vaccines are available for hepatitis A and hepatitis B.

🧪 Testing

Early diagnosis helps people access treatment before serious liver damage develops.

💊 Treatment

Modern medicines can effectively manage hepatitis B and cure many hepatitis C infections.

THE POWER OF EYE CONTACT : What Your Eyes Communicate Before You Speak

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE ✦ COMMUNICATION • BODY LANGUAGE • HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY THE POWER OF EYE CONTACT What Your Eyes Communicate Before You Speak Explore the different types of eye contact, the meanings of a glance, stare and glare, and how to use your gaze thoughtfully in interviews, conversations, presentations and everyday life. NOTICE • CONNECT • COMMUNICATE • RESPECT A Look Can Speak Without Words Imagine entering a room where someone looks up, makes brief eye contact and greets you with a natural smile. You may feel acknowledged and welcome before the conversation has even begun. Now imagine someone fixing an unbroken gaze on you, narrowing their eyes and refusing to look away. The same eyes that can communicate attention may now make you feel uncomfortable, challenged or intimidated. What changed? The eyes themselves did not change.
