If results are the only things that matter, then a false religion that has the desired results would be just as good as a true one. Not only that, but if results are the only things that matter, then if you could find a way to produce these results without religion, you wouldn’t need religion after all. Most important of all, if results are the only things that matter, you aren’t really worshiping God – you’re worshiping results.

Near Drowning

Near Drowning

  • NEAR DROWNING =========================

If someone near you is drowning, take action FAST.

  1. Get the victim out of the water.
  2. Have someone call for an ambulance. NEVER LEAVE the victim.
  3. Turn his or her head to one side and press gently on the abdomen.
  4. If the victim starts breathing, wait with him until help comes.
  5. If he doesn’t begin breathing, start artificial respiration immediately. Follow these steps:
    1. Turn him on his back.
    2. Lift his neck with one hand and push his forehead back with the other.
    3. If he is not breathing, pinch his nose, take a deep breath, and cover his mouth with yours.
    4. Breathe deeply four times in rapid succession, without giving the lungs time to deflate.
    5. Feel for a pulse for five seconds.
    6. If there is a pulse, give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation with one breath every five seconds. Maintain an open airway and check the pulse once a minute.
    7. If his heartbeat stops, use a cardiac massage (see CPR).
    8. Keep up the resuscitative measures until the victim is breathing or the ambulance arrives.
