Health Corner Potassium is a mineral that is part of every body cell. It helps regulate fluids and mineral balance in and out of cells and in doing so, helps maintain normal blood pressure. Potassium is also vital for transmitting nerve impulses or signals, and in helping muscles contract. Potassium is an electrolyte and can successfully counterbalance a diet rich in sodium. Potatoes are a great source of potassium… much more potassium than a banana. Potatoes actually rank highest for potassium content among the top 20 most frequently consumed raw vegetables and fruits. Excess potassium is dangerous for those with kidney issues. It’s in the Bible Music Music is an expression of worship. It's in the Bible, Exodus 15:1, NIV. “Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord; 'I will sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted.’” A good way to praise God is through music. It's in the Bible, Psalm 33:1-3, and Psalm 81:1-2, TLB. “Let all the joys of the godly well up in praise to the Lord, for it is right to praise Him. Play joyous melodies of praise upon the lyre and on the harp. Compose new songs of praise to Him, accompanied skillfully on the harp; sing joyfully.” “The Lord makes us strong! Sing praises! Sing to Israel's God! Sing, accompanied by drums; pluck the sweet lyre and harp.” Communication Form So that we may serve you better, please complete this Communication Form, detach, and give it to the Pastor or place it in the Offering Plate.
