Bubbling under the surface, we have some pretty big questions about life and faith. When things are quiet or when we are staggering under the weight of something hard, these questions rise to the surface and beg to be answered: Who Am I? Why Am I Here? Am I Loved? What's Next? We believe God invites us to ask these meaningful questions and that He wants to respond. Join us for this four-week, end-of-summer series as we listen for God's answers to some of life's biggest questions.

Come and see the Resurrected King! Let the earth and all of humanity rejoice: Jesus is alive again! It didn't happen the way people thought it would. They experienced disappointment, disillusionment, and hopelessness. But the Cross wasn't the end – Jesus is victorious over death! This divine reversal floods our darkness with Light – there is hope! Join us for our glorious, joy-filled Easter celebration. At Kensington, we believe that Easter has personal significance for each one of us. The Cross means God's love for you has no limits – it was an all-the-way sacrifice to bring you close and carry your sin. The Resurrection means God's power has no limits – it was a life-from-death reversal to bring you hope in life now and hope for life eternal.

Come and see the Sacrificial King. The God of the universe saw our brokenness and instead of holding it over us, He came humble, He came close. He willingly chose self-sacrifice for us! Enter into a sacred space this Good Friday: we'll follow the pattern of an ancient Hebrew "Derisha" service and use scripture and music to share Jesus' journey to the Cross and to prepare our hearts to fully celebrate Easter!

Vaccines In the coming months, I am going to take a deeper look at vaccines. I am fielding lots of questions in the office about the safety of vaccines. People are scared. Are they wrong? Should they be? Let me start here: first off, I am solidly pro vaccine. That is not the same as to be in agreement with the current vaccine schedule or that vaccines are without risk. I believe that the vaccine schedule and the risk should be questioned on a rolling basis in perpetuetum. This is the function of medical science. Question dogma always. Look for errors of past thinking and reassess on a continual basis. I think that on the face of it, the skepticism is well placed as the organizations tasked with our safety have made a mess of being honest during the COVID pandemic vaccine rollout..... plus a literature review.

Treatment - sometimes it is just better to watch and wait. Warts are a common ailment of childhood. Mostly a nuisance, sometimes a hindrance to function when located on the fingers and or areas of high use. There are two major types of wart type skin lesions - typical verrucous warts and molluscum contagiosum. Google has great molluscum and wart Images WARTS/MOLLUSCUM - To Treat Or Not To Treat? Common warts and molluscum contagiosum lesions are benign, but bothersome viral skin lesions that are common in children. We see them all the time in clinic. A common viral wart is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV infects the epithelium of the skin, leading to keratinocyte proliferation in the skin's outer layer. This uncontrolled growth of the keratinocytes results in a thickened rough round lesion that we see. If the immune system fails to fully clear the virus, we see this lesion for months to years. Molluscum, caused by an unknown virus, follows a similar course with a dissimilar appearance. Neither molluscum nor warts have roots despite the myth propagated over the years. Molluscum lesions have a turbid white appearance under the umbilicated skin papule with the virus located within the upper skin layer. They are 1-4 mm in diameter. Viral warts are a little larger usually 3 -10 mm in size. They form a protective cap of dead skin (keratinocyte) cells and invade the deeper skin layer. The protective cap is rough like sand paper. Molluscum lesions peak around ages 2-7 years and for common warts the peak age is 7-15 years.... and more on a literature review. Dr. M

Have you heard of the Holy Spirit? Are you curious about His role in the life of a follower of Jesus?

Finding a relational balance with any person or persons can be a struggle if one side of the relationship dyad has a strong need for a gain to feel safe or whole. For example, a parent in a poor quality marriage or with significant childhood wounding may turn to the child for happiness and love when it is missing otherwise. A child in turn being young will often, out of filial love, try to meet the needs of the parent. These types of relationships can take on many forms and can become dysfunctional over time. I remember a parent child dyad from many years ago that was a budding enmeshed/codependent relationship between a mother and her son. Mom was absolutely unable to draw boundaries with her son as she felt all of his pain and reflected all of her childhood trauma onto the child's life with boundary-less smothering love and control. She simultaneously would restrict any behavior that she perceived as unsafe controlling his environment while drawing zero boundaries with regard to his behavior toward her and others within this controlled small world. He was a holy terror by 4 years of age. His mother was crying for help while being indignant that he was sweet and well meaning while she enabled every choice that he made. Her fear of drawing boundaries because of her own childhood restrictive parenting wounding left this child completely attached to her yet abusive because he felt completely out of control. The psychological pathology was exhausting for all in the room. Recommendations for therapy and interventions were met with scorn....plus a literature review. Enjoy, Dr. M

Review of Dr. Casey Means' Good Energy In her book, Good Energy, Dr. Casey Means explores the complex relationship between our metabolic health and the quality of energy we experience in daily life. Dr. Means is an ENT surgeon that graduated from Stanford University Medical School before eschewing it all to dive into the world of disease prevention. Drawing from her background in integrative medicine and her deep understanding of metabolic science, Dr. Means presents a compelling case for why energy levels are not merely a factor of rest and diet, but a direct reflection of how well our cells are functioning on a biochemical level. And this is the key, the understanding of the biochemistry of the why! In today's modern world, so many of us feel sluggish, fatigued, or burned out, and the causes are often elusive. We live in a time where external stressors, processed foods, environmental toxins, and sedentary lifestyles disrupt our body's ability to produce and regulate energy efficiently. Dr. Means calls for a paradigm shift in how we view energy: it's not just about getting more sleep or drinking another cup of coffee. It's about restoring the metabolic health of our cells to optimize the energy they generate.....plus a literature review and a recipe. Enjoy, Dr. M

Literature Review Week Why do some people react to mosquitoes so vigorously? There is fascinating data for me in the Nature article, as I see lots of kids that react strongly to mosquitoes while others do not at all. A hyper primed immune reaction makes a lot of sense as the immune system is extra sensitive to the insult in individuals that have chronic allergic phenotypes. They are in effect polarized to see the outside world through an irritant lens and thus react in a more robust way. The cell called GD3 releases Interleukin 3 or IL-3 which is a cytokine signaling molecule that tells skin based sensory neurons to become more sensitive to allergens like house dust mites, environmental molds, and in this case mosquito saliva. Thus, the mosquito saliva induces more of the itch scratch cycle. The effect is to increase the gain sensitivity on the skin to 10. This is likely a main reason why having an allergic child take immunotherapy against allergens that they react to lowers the rheostat for all irritants. It is like a global check on the sensory system. This is another reason to consider SLIT and or SCIT immunotherapy in allergic children...

Section I Understanding the Action and Use of GLP-1 Agonists in Children – A Pediatrician's Viewpoint The United States, like much of the developed world, is facing increasing rates of childhood obesity and related health concerns. Despite years of research and various efforts, addressing this public health issue remains a complex challenge. This article reviews the potential mechanisms, benefits, and considerations for using GLP-1 agonists in children based on the current scientific understanding. While early research is promising, the application of these treatments in children requires careful consideration and should always be done in consultation with a healthcare provider. As a pediatrician, I recognize that while the science behind these treatments is evolving, it's important to remember that individual responses to treatments can vary. For children, every approach needs to be carefully weighed, considering their unique developmental needs..... Enjoy, Dr. M

Section I Are Smart Phones a benefit or a curse for the teenager in school? This is becoming a huge topic this past year or so. Logic would seem to dictate that this is a curse more than a benefit, but what does the data and expert opinion show? The Scientific American article "Do Phone Bans Help Students Perform Better in School?" examines the growing trend of banning smartphones in schools to enhance student performance and well-being. Numerous U.S. cities, including New York and Los Angeles, have recently implemented or are considering bans on phones in classrooms. Schools use tools like the Yondr pouch, which locks phones away during school hours, to enforce these bans. These measures are popular with educators and parents, with 60% of likely voters in New York State supporting such restrictions. Charlotte Schools has this policy: "In accordance with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Student Code of Conduct, personal technology devices, including cell phones must remain off and put away during school hours. Violations will result in confiscation of the personal technology device. The district is not responsible (monetary value or replacement) for theft, loss or damage to personal technology or other electronic devices brought onto CMS property." (CMS) My informal poll has a higher number of parents interested in phone ban restrictions in North Carolina....plus a section on teen anxiety. Enjoy, Dr. M
