terminated, a trace of its effect remains in the brain. This trace, in turn, will influence all similar processes that occur in the future.

centered life. If we are clear and strong in our Christian faith, if our faith sincerely informs our behavior in all aspects of our life- then we can, and it is argued, should take stewardship of His people and His gifts in the business community in order to further His mission in the world.
