Eczema is a condition where patches of skin become inflamed, itchy, red, cracked, and rough. Blisters may sometimes occur. Eczema is a term for a group of medical conditions that cause the skin to become inflamed or irritated. The most common type of eczema is known as atopic dermatitis, or atopic eczema. Atopic refers to a group of diseases with an often inherited tendency to develop other allergic conditions, such as asthma and hay fever. Symptoms can vary from a mild rash that disappears quite quickly to a more severe condition that’s present for a long time. The main goal of treatment is to eliminate itching which, if left untreated, can provoke or worsen the other symptoms. What is the cause of Eczema? The cause of atopic dermatitis and many forms of eczema is unknown but is potentially due to a dysfunction in filaggrin, a protein that maintains the membrane of skin cells.  It is also thought that genetics (inheritance) and an improperly functioning of the local immun

Need God’s help? First you need a relationship with God  Covenant Relationship with God All human effort is vain without God’s favor and favor is a function of a covenant relationship. What everyone needs basically is a covenant relationship with God. It’s the only ground to lead a successful life on earth.

The result of sin in our life is death, spiritual separation from God. Moving closer to God through our own effort, we inevitably fail. The diagram shows the great gap that exist between us and God. The arrow show how we might try

# ATten I was under the shade closer to the the yard, meditating. My head was buried deep down between my crossed arms, asking my self thousands of question. But no one could bale out my curiosity. Up to when Papa got to where I was sitting, calling me on high-pitched tune as usual, I didn't know. All of a sudden, seating, I felt a touch on my shoulder almost five times before I could respond to the touch. I was shocked -applicable to Papa. I then raised up my head and eyebrow. 'Ayo! Ayo! Ayo!' He called my name three times with a suspicion. He continued... 'Where was your mind? I've been calling you nearly an hour. But you didn't respond. What where you thinking? What's in head?
