PcDIflTRIC PoiNT RS by Df. Jojaph T. Ball Padiotrkion mith flobaton Haolth Coca In pa si issues sse hasc had ihc chance to discuss different t>pes of childhood rashes Some of these included atopic dermatitis (eczema), chicken po\ and roseola This week I thought it would be good to discuss another common rash called impetigo Impetigo is the most common skin infection in children It is a contagio.us infection of the top las crs of the skin that begins as a blister or pus bump and then drains and scabs over There arc two classic forms of impetigo the bullous (blistering) and nonbullous forms Bullous impetigo is the least common form of the two It is caused bs a Staph germ and ischaractcri/cd bs ihc presence of blisters The blisters arc soft and transparent and usualls rupture in 1-2 dass. leaving scant crusts scabs This rash usualh appears on the face, bullocks and chest The nonbullous impetigo rash usuallx starts as a red bump in a traumatized area (scratch. insect bile, etc.) The bump rapidly turns into a thick crusted, hones-colored scab This form ofinipcligo isfound mostls in exposed areas such as the face and extremities A tspe of Slrcpt germ (like Ihc one in Slrcpt throat) is the cause of nonbullous impcligo Since impcligo Icsionsarc seldom painful the diagnosis ma> be delayed for days or weeks Fc\cr is usually absent Without treatment, impetigo tends to remain stable or become slow ly progressive over sc\ era! weeks, and in most eases it will spontaneously heal Occasionally. the sores may become chronic with skin ulcer formation. Only rarely will impetigo lead to other complications such as cellulitis or kidney disease The treatment of impcligo depends to some degree on how many sores arc present If the lesions arc not widespread. y our doctor may prescribe a topical antibiotic ointment to go directly on the rash For more w idcsprcad impcligo an oral antibiotic. such as Keflex or Erythromycin. may be prescribed The rash should resolve within 7 days after starting treatment. I usually icll parents to use warm, soapy water to clean the infected skin Remember, these sores arc contagious, so until they dry up with treatment the patient should be careful around other kids and adults Well, that's enough on impcligo Take care, and we'll talk again next week! Accordingjo Scrinture Sponsored by tko AwitiuOr Seventh Doy Advenhst Ckurck Last week we saw that the New Testament and even Jesus said that the life of the individual is more im- - portant than an profession of faith. I'd like to illustrate this further by a parable that Jesus told himself. In thi? parable He speaks precisely about this issue of being in a continuing relationship with Him, nor merely saying a few words, then living however one wishes. John. 15:1-6 "I am the true vine, and my father is the husbandman. , Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away' and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He thatabideth not in, he is cast forth as abranch, and is withered; arid men gather them, and cast them injti the fire, and they are burned." I'd like to give some definitions of the word "abide:" endure, suffer, tolerate, remain, wait. These words do not indicate a change that is an ongoing abiding in Christ that will make the true follower of Jesus have the proofs of discipleship. One of which is found in John 15. Also we see verse 10. We can see that if we abide in Jesus' love, then we will be faithful to keep His 10 commandments. If one wants to bad enough, it is possible to externally keep the commandments. At least for a while. Jesus also said in Matthew 5:28 that to look on a woman with lust is also breaking the law. The Jews in Jesus day felt pretty good . about themselves with their external keeping of the law. But JesuS r&ised the stakes to include internal thoughts with which the Jews fell short. It is clear that sin begins in the mind. (James 1:12-15), But through reliance on the power of the Holy Spirit (see II Peter 1:4) we can overcome even the temptations that being in the mind. 11. Corinthians 10:5 Not through our own power, but through the power of Jesus. Keeping the commandments is just part ot the external fruit, another sure result is that we will show the fruits of the Spirit in our lives. (See Galatians 5:22-25). Now we want to look at something that to me is very definitive about the condition of eternal life. There is a Book of Life first mentioned in Philippians 4:3. How important is this Book of Life? In Revelation 20:12 we see that we are judged by what is written in the Book of Life and inverse IS it says that who ever is not written in the Book of Life is cast into hell. Furthermore, Revelation 21:27 we find out that if we are not written in the Book of Life we will not be going t<$ heaven. Once one is written into the Book of Life is it possible to haveyour name removed or blotted out? The best answer is not my human words but the words of inspiration. Revelation 22:19 "And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part our of the book of life, and out of.the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." So, God can take out Our name. And again Rev. 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but 1 will confess his name before my father and before his angels." We see that our name can be taken out if we do not overcome. What do we need to overcome? Sin! Transgression of the law (I John 3:4). What about the promise of John 10:28-29? Very simply, God does not allow external forces to come between or separate us from Him. ; However, this does not take away our freedom of choice! Even though no one or nothing is able to take us out of God's hand, we still have the power of choice that allows us to walk (even though foolishly) out of His hand (protection). Notice that in II Peter 1:10 "Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do thesethings,ye shall never fall." Even if one reads just this one verse once can still see the condition in the phrase "if ye do these things." Now go to the verses preceding this one . 1-3 According as his diving power hath given unto usali things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue." Please read the preceding verses and pray for guidance from God. I Peter 1:3-9. Jesus will not betray your trust. Look at the evidence. Robeson County Nonprofit Groups Awarded $50,028 From N. C.

Cookie rs Corner Mnita Maynor Clark A, Today, I want to share with you a precious memory that I recently recalled talking to Ms. Violet Locklear about my brother, Rev. Douglas Maynor, and a brotherhood meeting at a local church. A man named Brother Billy was sitting in her living room telling us "that he had always been scared of dead people until that night". The night of thebrotherhood meeting the lights went out in the church. So, Brother Doug told the brothers" let's go outside and pray". They walked outside and crossed the road and climbed up on a hill. And Brother Doug told everyone to "kneel down and pray". Well, Brother Billy said that "my knee sunk in the dirt, I was praying and I noticed that the closer that the cars got the faster they sped up. Then this black man that they call "stick'em in the mud" was riding by on his bicycle. Well, "stick'em got off of his bicycle and hoisted the bicycle on his back and took off running. 1 just couldn't figure out what was going on. " The wind started to blow and a branch broke off the tree behind me and hit something. I stood up and turned around to find a TOMBSTONE. I was in a graveyard praying! About that time the lights came back on in the church. We proceeded back into the church and I stood in front of the church and told Brother Doug " you can throw me out of Jhe brotherhood if you want to, bijS it doesn't say a thing in the Bible about going into a graveyard tb pray".* This memory brought back smiles and laughter of my precious brother. Has anyone told vou that "they love you today?" Well, I do. Injured At No Fault Of Your Own? Immediate Help Is Available Your Winning Team Lock/ear, Jacobs & Hunt is only a Phone Call Way!
