| All as sheep are gone astrayEach one is gone in his own separate way
The light of the Gospel has cast its rays Hear the voice of the master; He calls today
It gladdens my heart to do your service To snatch the life of a man as from abyss To release the soul the devil often hardens The kingdom of God; surely it widens
The sacrifice of Christ has set us free But for His love, where would we be We once were blind but now we see For us He’s risen once slain on the tree
We with eyes yet were blind we grope in vanity hoping to find Something perhaps to satisfy the mind Alas from above, TRUE LOVE; none of its kind
Flesh of my flesh, Bone of my Bones Such intimacy desired but then I was alone Until for me the king left His throne To redeem my soul that we may be one

Today, I wake by the power of Him who loved me
Today, I live by the assurance of Him who keeps me
Today, I excel by the power of Him who works in me
Today, I pray to the one who by grace, saved me
Today, I am strong because of Him who healed me
Today, I am purposeful because of Him who called me
Today, I shine because of Him who glorified me
Today, I AM WHAT I AM BECAUSE HE DIED AND ROSE FOR ME
My heart, the lord has been faithful to me
My heart, the lord has been good; can’t you see?
For where you are is far from where you were
And where you will be, He’ll be the one to take you there

Coronary heart disease, also known as ischaemic heart disease is the commonest form of heart disease and the single most important cause of premature death in the developed world.
It is a disease of the coronary arteries which are the blood vessels responsible for supplying blood and oxygen to the tissues of the heart. It manifests with symptoms of chest pain and palpitations. There could be swelling of the legs due to heart failure and in some cases it may lead to sudden death.
But are there things we could do to prevent developing coronary heart disease. Certainly yes! Here are some things you could do to insure yourself against the disease.
- Avoid tobacco smoking – tobacco is the most important avoidable cause of coronary heart disease
- Reduce your cholesterol intake – cholesterol is found in foods like eggs, butter and certain oils. High levels in the blood predispose to the disease
- Increase your physical activity – a sedentary (inactive) lifestyle predisposes to coronary artery disease. Regular exercise is prescribed
- Stay away from heavy drinking – heavy drinking is associated with hypertension and other cardiac events which may lead to the development of coronary artery disease
Taking these four precautions will go a long way in helping you prevent coronary heart disease.
I love you and God bless you.
