March is National Kidney Month — Early detection is key to prevention of kidney disease

March is National Kidney Month. Throughout this month, the National Kidney Foundation of Indiana will be focusing public attention on two organs that keep bodies running smoothly. The kidneys, although small in size, provide vital functions that keep the entire body in balance. When kidneys fail, a person’s life is at stake. Approximately 20 million Americans suffer from disease of the kidney and urinary tract, and 80,000 die each year because of these disorders. Chrome kidney disease affects over 100,000 people in this country who must undergo dialysis and transplantation treatment to stay alive. One of the goals of the National Kidney Foundation is to stress the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of these diseases to prevent treatable disorders from progressing into lifethreatening illness. According to National Kidney Foundation experts, all Indiana residents can help to improve this picture. First, it is important for all people to learn early warning signs of kidney and urinary tract disease. These include 1) burning or difficulty during urination; 2) more frequent urination, particularly at night; passage of bloody urine; 4) puffiness around the eyes and swelling of hands and feet, especially in children; 5) pain in the small of the back just below the ribs ; and 6) high blood pressure. Research advances have made productive and satisfying lives possible for many patients who otherwise would have died after

NORTHERN LAKES CHRISTIAN CHURCH Thorpe And Karen Mitchell Pastors “No Excuse, Sir’.’’ by K. Mitchell Our son Brad is a Yearling (Soph.) at the United States' Military Academy, West Point, New York. Being a military school, there are rules and regulations governing the conduct of the cadets. For instance, being on time and no cuts for classes is standard procedure. There is also an honor code which says, “I will not lie, steal, or cheat; nor tolerate those who do”. Violation of the rules, can cause a cadet many hours “walking the area”, or in extreme cases, dismissal from the Academy. One interesting aspect of this society, however, is: when questioned, the cadet has- learned not to give excuses. Brad says, “If you’re late, you’re late!” When questioned, he says, the standard reply is: “No excusejSir!” In many ways, “the church” is much like the military. It also has regulations and laws governing its operations. These regulations or truths are written in the official operations manual, the Bible. The Commander-in-Chief, God Almighty, gives his orders to Jesus and the Holy Spirit who in turn commands, mobilizes, and leads the troops. There is also discipline in this “army”. For instance, Revelation speaks of two judgments. The first judgement is for “the church” or believers, and the second, is for the unbelievers. Jesus will judge “the church”. The church is any person who believes Jesus i rose from the dead and has personally asked him to come into their heart. John 3:3-17. What regulation will Jesus use to judge his church? Mark 16:15-20. Jesus told his believers to: 1. Preach the gospel to every creature. 2. Cast out devils. 3. Lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. The question is, how will you answer Jesus. When he asks, “What did YOU do about my Great Commission?” Will you hear, “Well done! ” Or will you have to say, like the cadet, “No excuse, Sir!” Come and join us Sunday evenings at 6:00 P.M. Learn how easy it is to lay hands on the sick and see them recover. If you are sick, come get healed! Sunday Services 10 A.M. & 6 P.f? Wenesday Evening Service 7 P.A..
