Dear Body of Christ, especially leaders,

Our fruit must speak louder than our titles. Our actions, responses, and interactions should reflect the God we serve.

If what we do is not reflecting Christ, pointing people to Christ, or loving people the way Christ did—then we have to ask ourselves, why are we doing it?

We must measure our actions against the conviction of the Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit. He is faithful to guide us—especially in knowing when to speak and when to remain silent.

Let’s return to a place of dignity and honor within the Body of Christ in all that we do, giving honor and glory to God.

As it is written in Colossians 3:17:
“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”

Let us examine ourselves, realign where needed, and commit to walking this out daily—with integrity, humility, and love.

By His grace,

Judi

Do you know your numbers? Beginning in your 20s, you’ll want to start keeping track of these four numbers:

Blood pressure
Cholesterol
Blood sugar
Body mass index
An ideal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg, and anything above 130/80 mm Hg is considered high blood pressure.

A cholesterol or lipid panel pulls up four numbers — total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglycerides.

Cardiologists look at all cholesterol values but especially your LDL, or “bad” cholesterol. Elevated LDL levels can cause damage to the delicate lining of your arteries, leading to the buildup of plaque in the artery walls. The plaque in the artery walls can cause chest pain and shortness of breath, and if that plaque ruptures, it can result in a heart attack or stroke. An ideal LDL range is below 100.

If you already have heart disease, your doctor will likely prefer to see LDL levels below 70. And if you’re especially high risk, that level should be below 55. When it comes to LDL, the lower the better.

Cardiologists are also increasingly screening for lipoprotein (a), a genetically determined type of cholesterol that’s associated with heart disease, stroke and aortic valve disease. Cardiologists have recently begun recommending patients get screened for it at least once in their lives.

You should also pay close attention to your A1C, which measures average blood glucose over the past few months. A number in the 5.7-6.4 range is considered prediabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association. A reading of 6.5 or higher is considered diabetes, and anything below 5.7 is considered normal.

BMI isn’t always a perfect marker of health because it doesn’t factor in the weight of muscle. In general, however, a BMI between 18 and 25 is considered normal, between 25 and 30 is considered overweight and above 30 is considered obese. If you find yourself within the overweight or obese ranges, talk to your doctor.
