Emmett and Wendy,I am praying that God gives you clear diecrtion this week as you face such big decisions. I trust that His peace will continue to rest upon you and that you can literally find rest in that peace. May the Lord be with you both as you go through this week.

Dear Wendy and Emmett, I understand your sicenle over the next several days. I, too, have little to say. But the situation has not changed. Only God can heal, through medicine or otherwise. Remembering that nothing has changed at all in that perspective may offer you more hope. Since the day BEFORE Emmett's cancer surfaced, only God heals. And the day that Emmett is healed according to God's will, will be the exact same outcome as it was on that day. Take God's grace for the moment, and remember that Emmett will not die unless God so wills it. For he knows the number of your days; ask Him, and perhaps He will grant YOU to know the number of your days. Whatever may come, God is still God and He will still work according to His will. And since it is His will that I pray for you, I will continue lifting you to God every day. God bless you as He does.With much agape love,Suzi

Waqas? That's a mlsuim name. If you are mlsuim than you should know that intercourse is only for reproduction, and it is not for the Husband's pleasure-it is the wife's. And You should only use Viagra with the consent of the wife! Otherwise it's Haraam! Any Male Enhancement Supplements are Haraam, Without the Consent of the wife! So you should be ashamed to be posting this on the internet! It doesn't matter what other Mushrikeen say! Take it from the Imaam from your local Masjid/Mosque. (or an islamic view) In the Qur'an, sex before marriage is strictly prohibited. Islam stresses that sexual relations should be restricted to the institution of marriage in order for the creation of the family; and secondly as a means to protect the family, certain relations should be considered prohibited for marriage. Islam recognises that sex is enjoyable and makes no prohibitions on sex for pleasure (between a husband and wife). In fact being available for, and pleasuring, your spouse is a duty on both the husband and wife. Fornication and adultery are both included in the Arabic word Zina'. Belonging primarily to the same category of crimes, entailing the same social implications and having the same effects on the spiritual personality of a human being, both, in principle, been given the same status by the Qur'an.In Shiite Islam, the concept of a temporary marriage exists. This kind of marriage can be just for fulfillment , as many will say primarily for a sexual relationship.

anything about an increase in life eaxoctptien for either of the two countries you mention.Again, all I see the report at least the bit that was highlighted by Asian Trends Monitoring is that some countries that should have responses in place for certain non-communicable disease, in fact, do not.
