even temporary use of a wheelchair can give patients the mobility they need while resting the foot. Usually, time off the foot will heal the condition but Dr. Yun notes that stubborn cases may require physical therapy, a stronger steroid anti-inflammatory and maybe a cortisone shot. He works stretching into a patient’s recovery but notes that the timing is important so the patient doesn’t further hurt the foot. He recommends that people take preventive measures to keep from developing plantar fasciitis again or from developing it in the first place. “Maintain a healthy weight, have good arch support in your shoes, increase your activity levels slowly and if you have tight muscles, increase your flexibility with calf muscle stretches,” says Dr. Yun.

THE SOUL
Psalm 119:109: “My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.” I want to talk about the soul today. You have your soul in your hand! Listen, a person is not made up of a body alone. I remember when I was a kid hearing the old timers say: when you’re dead, you’re dead; and: you will never know the difference 100 years from now. Well, they were wrong on both counts. If you die and go to Hell you will suffer continually for all eternity. Hell is eternal fire. It is not only the soul that goes to Hell. Jesus said in Matthew 10:28: “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” The soul will spend eternity somewhere. When God created man a living soul, when He took the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, man became a living soul. The soul will never die; it will never cease to exist. I have had people say to me: just pray that I die, enough is enough, I can’t take anymore. The body gets weary, especially when a person has been sick for a long time. However, for a Christian the death of the body is nothing to fear. That is not so in the death of the body of an unbeliever. They have much to fear. There is a huge difference because the soul will spend eternity in Heaven with God or eternity in Hell with Satan. Your soul is in your hand. The total responsibility of your soul does not lie with your mother, your father, or with anyone else. I have had mothers interrupt me when I was trying to show their child how to be saved. But frankly, they should keep their mouths shut. That child is responsible for his own soul! If they have not been able to lead that child to God in 15 years then they need to be quiet and let me do the talking! Parents can not answer for their children when it comes to their souls. I can not say it enough; everyone is responsible for their own soul. But, it is sorry to say that most people are not soul conscious and neither is the world system. The educational system will not teach your child about his soul. It teaches his brain about the world. Worldly psychiatrists do not have a clue about the soul. You get con-

fused; you have a problem; you get frustrated, so what do you do? You go to a psychiatrist. But what about your soul? That is the part of you that is troubled. A good example of that is King Saul in the Bible. Do you remember King Saul? He was the people’s choice, not God’s choice. When the Spirit of God left Saul and Samuel anointed David, King Saul lost his good sense and he did foolish things. He was affected by evil spirits. People in our worldly system today would not accept any of that. But whatever, Saul would get himself in such a depressed and discouraged state that he would call for David to play music on the harp. The music seemed to comfort Saul. It was Saul’s soul that was troubled! People get themselves in the same situation today with depression and discouragement and I truly believe it is not so much their mind as it is their soul which is troubled. Get your soul right with God! Verse 3 of the 23rd Psalm says: “He restoreth my soul...” When God restores your soul, He is restoring all that psychological stability that a human being needs to think clearly without depression and discouragement. But, it is in your hand; it is your responsibility. You have total authority over your own soul to make the choice if you want to be comforted or not and the choice of where your body and soul will be in eternity. Listen you adults, you can not force a child to get saved and neither can you force him to stay unsaved. He has to choose to be saved or choose to reject salvation the same as an adult does. A child will usually choose salvation if he gets the chance to hear the Gospel of Christ. So why a parent would deny their child the right to go to church is beyond me. Let your kid have their own chance and make their own choice; you did.

The feet are the workhorses of the body, carrying our loads and allowing us to move on a daily basis. Chances are many of us never pay our feet much mind – that is, until something goes wrong and we are desperate to return our feet to good working order. “Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common foot ailments and it will make you take notice of your feet,” says podiatrist Gordon Yun, DPM, a foot and ankle specialist with Mercy Health – Wellington Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine. A strained ligament – the plantar fascia, which connects the heel to the toes and supports the arch – is the cause of plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis can cause sharp, violent pain at the bottom of the heel or the arch, usually with activity or when getting out of bed or getting up from a sitting position. “This is a classic overuse injury. A high level of activity, being overweight, having high arches or flat feet, standing for long hours at a time, wearing ill-fitting or worn shoes or having tight calves or Achilles muscles can all strain the ligament that supports the arch,” says Dr. Yun. “Plantar fasciitis can impact anyone.” Many of the treatments sufferers turn to will help reduce the symptoms of plantar fasciitis but not cure the underlying issue. “For symptom relief, by all means, rest, ice, massage and elevate the foot. Take occasional anti-inflammatories for a short time. Make sure you support the arch properly and not with a heel cup, which can cause further strain,” says Dr. Yun. “However, the only thing that will heal plantar fasciitis is staying off your feet for three to six weeks. Once this condition starts, it will not heal if you don’t rest and don’t change the things that led to it in the first place. The longer you wait, the longer it will take your plantar fasciitis to heal.” Staying off our feet for any period of time is tough and Dr. Yun notes that a medical knee scooter, crutches or
