Questions about the Bible

Question marks OrangI saw a sign on FaceBook with questions about who were the people of the land of Nod that Cain went and settled with. Honest questions deserve honest answers, but I find other passages in the Bible a lot more troubling. Like the passage I read this morning in Luke 18:

…won’t God bring justice for His chosen people when they cry to Him day and night? Will He be slow to bring them justice? Mark my words: God will intervene fast with vindication. But here’s the question: when the Son of Man comes, will He find anyone who still has faith? Jesus

Later in the same chapter Jesus asks a blind man: “What do you want me to do for you?” and when the blind man says he wants to see, Jesus responds, “Receive your sight, your faith has made you well.”

I believe Jesus is at work in the same way today. If you are seeking honest answers to honest questions, ask Him. He won’t be embarrassed or put on the spot. He can handle your questions. He wants you to receive sight and have a clear view of everything.

He hates deception. He wants you to be whole and integrated in every area of your life. I dare you to ask Him. Ask Him to reveal Himself and show you His ways and lead you to answers that will bring life and justice in your life.

I pray that God would grant victory to innocent victims – those injured when given ‘modern medicine’ that they thought would lead to life, but it has led to suffering. I pray that God would answer the cries for help of soooooo many families who are suffering due to medical misinformation.

I pray for you, if you are reading this post, that you will be healthy and prosperous, body and soul. We all serve someone. I have chosen to serve Jesus Christ. I don’t always get it right, but I try to share all He has done for me with ENTHUSIASM!

Answers When Tragedies Weigh us Down

Posted on by
1

DespairThere are bad things that happen every day; tragedies. We read about them. We hear about them. Children dying and lifelong suffering are some of the worst tragedies imaginable. Avoidable tragedies seem even more tragic and can leave us riddled with guilt, especially if they happen to our children.

However, death is not actually the worst tragedy that could happen to us. While most of us seek to live a long healthy life, we will all die at some point.

When Jesus was on earth some of His followers asked Him about a local tragedy. Jesus said that death apart from God is THE WORST tragedy of all.

If you do not consider God’s ways and truly change, then you should prepare to face His judgment and eternal death. Luke 13

Many of us have been the unwitting victims of lies. We have experienced suffering due to many things: toxic drugs, debilitating illness, disasters, wars, tragic suffering. Any tragedy we experience without the presence of God in the midst of it can only be exponentially worse.

We don’t know what tragedies or disasters might be ahead. Many people try to plan and prepare as much as possible avoid them. The families with loved ones on planes that have crashed were not expecting to have to live through such a tragedy. Can we actually prepare and be ready to face tragedy if it were to happen to us?

Some people live in fear of everything. I don’t want to live like that.

Our best possible preparation is to think about Jesus’ words and daily “consider God’s ways.” As we grow in our knowledge and confidence in God we will understand that

  • His eternal protection is absolute.
  • His presence in our current crisis brings unparalleled comfort.

Truly, seeking God and finding Him is our only real hope and security.

This does not bring me to a place of complacency in the midst of our current world situation. The Apostle John, who was blessed to spend time with Jesus, and lived a long life sharing all he learned about Jesus, wrote this:

Have confidence in the fact that we belong to God, but also know that the world around us is in the grips of the evil one. We also can be sure of the fact that the Son of God has come and given us a mind so that we may know Him.

When Jesus was on earth He healed every imaginable illness. He set people free of oppressive bondage. He even raised the dead. He Himself rose from a cruel, agonizing death. He demonstrated power over death. He gave His power to His early followers who also performed healing. Jesus wants to share His power with you and me. He wants to offer healing and hope to the world.

Welcome Jesus. Open the door. Invite Him in.

Through the resurrected man, Jesus, forgiveness of sins is assured to you. Through Jesus, everyone who believes is set free from all sins. In light of this, be careful that you don’t fulfill the words of the prophet Habakkuk:

‘Look you scoffers

Be shocked to death.

For in your days I am doing a work,

A work you will never believe,

Even if someone tells you plainly.’ Paul, Acts 13

God had a plan for the tragedy of Jesus’ death. He has a plan for your tragedy. Find your safety in Him.

Even if we feel surrounded by corruption, war, and suffering, we can live in the truth that Jesus desired to bring us: Hope in the midst of suffering; light in the midst of darkness. I seek daily to be part of His answer.  He has answers for the world. You are an answer. I am an answer. Let’s live to be fully and completely the answer to all those in our sphere of influence TODAY; and everyday. As we surrender, Jesus can bring hope and healing to those in need through us.

 

Timeless Truths regarding Conspiracy & Conflict?

IChess pieces read a passage in Isaiah today and was startled by how relevant it sounded. Apparently
Solomon was pretty accurate when he wrote in Ecclesiastes “there is nothing new under the sun.”  We think the world is a very different place, but things that have worried people in the past, are worrying people today. Conflict over borders and possessions, greedy power brokers exploiting the vulnerable, and deception for profit have all been with us since the beginning.

One obvious difference seen today is that through technology we have the ability to be made more aware of what is going on all over the world. Technology also offers the opportunity of manipulating large numbers of people more easily.

The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does! ‘Don’t call everything a conspiracy, like they do, and don’t live in dread of what frightens them. Make the Lord of Heaven’s Armies holy in your life. He is the One you should fear. He is the One who should make you tremble. He will keep you safe… Look to God’s instructions and teachings! People who contradict His Word are completely in the dark.’ Isaiah 8

The human condition is much the same as the time that Isaiah wrote these words – 2700 years ago! We are messed up and we need God. God gave us Jesus to fix our messed up condition. When we surrender to Him, He transforms us and helps us to truly love. That really is the only hope to fix any of the mess in our world.

Surrender is the key to ending conflict. Not surrender to tyranny or deception, but surrender to the Lord Jesus and His power available in and through you. He will lead you to do His work in our broken world. Don’t fear. He is with you. You are part of the answer to this world’s chaos.

God is raising up an army to share His truth. He is looking for warriors who are not easily manipulated and misled. In Jesus Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge and He wants to make them freely available to you!

 

Aging

Aging prayerScientific studies of active aging people show that brain function does not have to decline with age. So the question we all should be asking is, ‘How do we make sure it doesn’t?‘

Aging is inevitable. My mom’s oft-repeated phrase is ‘Getting old is not for sissies.’ What she means is that as you age you can encounter a lot of symptoms and difficulties that make aging a lot harder than you ever expected! She has quite a lot of aches and pains which reduce her desire for movement and activity, which causes her body to stiffen up with more aches and pains and less of a desire for movement.

The baby boomer generation is having an opportunity to witness the generation ahead of us – one of the first generations to rely on processed foods, fast foods and lots of medications – and see how that regime has prepared them for the aging process.

There have been THOUSANDS of chemicals approved for use in food during my mother’s lifetime. Many of them have passed safety tests. Some have been recalled along the way once it became obvious that they were not safe. However, there has NEVER been a single study to determine the combined effect or the synergistic impact of consuming all these chemicals.

Prudence alone would suggest that all these artificial chemical additives MIGHT have some detrimental effect on our health and aging.

Science confirms the harm that our body experiences by long-term repeated exposure to environmental toxins in the products we use regularly: in food, personal care products, cleaning products, medications, vaccinations, etc.

There are more people than ever suffering from Alzheimer’s, dementia, and many other auto-immune diseases.  AND, younger and younger people are being impacted by these serious debilitating illnesses. And there isn’t a lot of hope on the horizon for treatment options. The BEST hope we have is to prevent these degenerative diseases, but if you want to PREVENT them, you need to START EARLY. Alzheimer’s doesn’t begin in the 60s when it becomes obvious. It actually begins much earlier – in the 20s or 30s, but only becomes apparent later. So if you want to avoid these issues when you are older – START NOW!

What to do? Try some of these things! Begin with what seems easy to you, then keep adding more to your health routine!

  • Avoid all the chemical toxins you can. Think food additives, air fresheners, pesticides, herbicides, body products, dryer sheets, etc……..
  • Read every label of every food you purchase.
  • Reduce or remove processed foods.
  • If you can’t pronounce something on the label, don’t buy it.
  • Find a product with 5 or less ingredients.
  • NEVER use any artificial sugar substitutes – they are directly causing brain damage in younger and younger people.
  • Avoid trans fats and MSG.
  • Don’t shop hungry – or else buy yourself a bag of organic baby carrots to munch while making your healthy purchases.
  • It starts with the shopping: buy whole foods, clean meats, eggs, nuts, seeds, dairy, organic or clean vegetables and fruits. Then figure out ways to prepare them that are easy for you. If you shop well, you will eat well!
  • Eat a higher percentage of raw foods.
  • Keep moving! Find ways to incorporate movement throughout your day. Stand at your desk, take a functional fitness exercise class. Learn easy safe ways to keep moving! Everyone has 10 minutes a day for exercise!
  • De-stress with prayer, meditation, EFT, relaxation.
  • Research natural options to serious illness before you need it!
  • Reduce or eliminate drugs for most everything. Research natural alternatives. Once you start eating better, exercising and de-stressing, your ‘need’ for medications will be reduced. Drugs only treat symptoms. The goal of better aging is to have no symptoms.
  • Visit a chiropractor regularly.
  • Find positive people to encourage you.

If you are not motivated to do any of these things out of a desire to improve your own health, please at least think about the impact your future poor health will have on the people you love.

Health eating can be delicious, nutritious and easy. It begins in your mind. Motivation to live a long and healthy life to enjoy the people you love makes it easier to stick to your decisions.

It also helps to get others involved in your “healthier you” journey. Health is contagious. As we gain momentum we will feel better which will help motivate us even more! Our motivation will inspire and motivate others.

Don’t keep putting toxins in your body just because you don’t feel bad today. Your body was not meant to be a toxic waste dump. If you poison you body, your aging process will be impacted. Take some steps for health. Baby steps are a good place to start. What ONE thing will do for your health today?

Land of the free?

FlagWarning political rant…with religious conviction.

Following on from some political rants I saw around the 4th, these thoughts came flooding to me all at once as I was walking into church! I had just read my big chunks of the Bible, saw that the sermon topic was Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness, and bam – all of this spilled out. Warning: you will encounter religious content at the end of this post which describes my faith.

Land of the free?

Where large corporations are free to poison for the sake of profit…

Where government agencies and mainstream scientists are free to corrupt science in their effort to bolster their position, court esteem in the public eye, ensure personal job security, not to mention attract cushie research grants.

Where everyone (especially pharmaceutical companies) is free to spread their misinformation through marketing so no one can recognize truth.

Where corporations are free to have 3 lobbyists for every political representative in Washington to ensure they are free to continue their operations with no obstructions by minor facts like the health and well being of our children.

Where medical schools are free to churn out more heavily indebted doctors, indoctrinated by the pharmaceutical industry, while offering no training in natural healing, nutrition (less than 10 hours), respectful birth and beginnings, and true health.

Where doctors are free to give poison instead of helping people understand where true health comes from.

Where people are free to treat their bodies without care or knowledge because it leads to greater profits and sustaining the foundation of the sickness system.

ChainsThe fear (as in knowledge, respect, awe) of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Surrendering to Him will lead us into Truth in every area of our lives. The truth can set us free, if we can identify it. 
Deception is rampant in the land of the free and the home of the brave. The nature of deception is you don’t know what lies you are believing. All the enemies of Jesus seek to devour us. Many of Jesus’ enemies when he lived on earth were the MOST RESPECTED people in the community. They looked good, smelled good, and most people were in awe of them. The battle is real. In Jesus are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. He is the Divine Creator of every aspect of our great earth, including our highly complex body. As we seek Him – we seek the fullness of God. Jesus is head over every power and authority and wants to guide you to wisdom in all areas of your life for His glory for your ultimate freedom.

I don’t claim to know everything, but I continue learning all the time. My heart aches for injustice perpetuated on young families today. It has become acceptable for everyone to be sick. It is time for us not to be complacent in the face of the onslaught we are experiencing. People are getting sick – unnecessarily. We need to realize what we are doing to our bodies, and CHANGE! We need to vote with our wallet for clean food, healthy products, and healthy alternatives to the sickness system. We can be the change this country needs.

saltJesus said, ‘You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled by men.’ Let’s get salty. The world needs our flavor.

Jesus came to earth to show us God, forgive sins, and heal our hearts and our bodies. Our life can help others find this true healing as a light shining in a dark place.

 

Modern Lies

AthensI try to read chunks of the Bible everyday. Today I read about Paul’s trip through Athens and thought about my recent return to the USA after spending 30 years living in another country. I noticed some similarities.

“Paul felt deeply frustrated about the abundance of idols in Athens.”

I get deeply frustrated by the abundance of toxins people take for granted in their food, water, air, and their attempts to ‘fix’ their problems with drugs (aka pharmaceutical products). I get deeply frustrated when I hear of innocent children and good people suffering unnecessarily because they base their actions on deception.

“Paul would wander around the marketplace, speaking with anyone he happened to meet.“ I try to engage anyone I can to look a little more deeply into some of these things! My family will verify. I like to engage in debate on all sides of the spectrum. My viewpoint is that Jesus is our Creative Designer and the Source of all healing. Living in harmony with His design brings freedom and balance.

Paul noted that the Athenians had a strong and diverse religious ethos. I notice that amongst health proponents there is a strong and diverse religious ethos.

Amongst supporters and participants in the Western medical model, there seems to be an outward form of allegiance to Christianity. Conversely, many, if not most Christians, seem to endorse the Western medical model.

In doing so, supporters and participants in the Western medical model often make some underlying assumptions about many things based on a value system that they are surrounded with from an early age. Unfortunately, I have learned that some of these assumptions are dangerous.

  1. All “Scientific” information is based on truth and can be trusted. I wouldn’t lie about important stuff, so of course others don’t lie either.
  2. All products sold in the USA are safe. We have government agencies that ensure the safety of everything and all government agencies tell the truth.
  3. I can trust my doctor. S/He’s a really nice person. His/Her training and knowledge is far beyond mine, and s/he would never advise me to do something if it weren’t good for me.
  4. We live in the healthiest, most modern of all countries, and our health is better than ever because of so many great technological advances.
  5. Processed food and fast food isn’t that bad. In my busy life, it is essential.
  6. Childhood wouldn’t be good without sugary treats, candy, soda, pizza and happy meals. It would be cruel to deprive children of these things. When I participate in giving these things to children it shows I love them.
  7. Tylenol, Motrin, ibuprofen, Tums, etc are all essential, sometimes.
  8. Sometimes people need medicine to cope with loss, insomnia, or extreme anxiety. It’s all safe, as long as you take it only when needed.
  9. Cancer just happens. There’s not much you can do to avoid it, and cancer research is so advanced, the doctors really know what they are doing and can help you.
  10. Alzheimer’s – ditto for above
  11. Diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. see #9.
  12. Eating organic is a fad that makes some people lots of money because it’s so expensive.
  13. Health foods are all a big gimmick.
  14. I don’t eat that much sugar.
  15. My current weight is not a problem.
  16. Exercise is over-rated – it just makes you sweaty, then sore the next day. I’ll be fine because I walk and move a lot.
  17. Television ads can be trusted. No one is manipulating me. In fact, the TV ads for new drugs are really educational.
  18. Tap water is tested – so it is safe.
  19. Air fresheners, laundry scent, all things that smell nice, are nice.
  20. Something is going to get me, so it really doesn’t matter what I eat or how many poisons it contains.

DespairUnfortunately, deception is rampant in the world, including the great US of A. I’m probably more sensitive to all I see because I have recently returned after spending 30 years living in a foreign country, with only limited exposure during brief vacations.

Americans love the ideas of truth and freedom. Unfortunately there is a lot of truth that is suppressed and believing lies always limits your freedom. Accepting what people say is an admirable quality, but blind faith in people who do not share your values for Truth and Justice is never wise.  What will you do to examine the foundational truth in our modern culture?

Paul pointed out the illogical premises of the Athenian culture. Are there any logical fallacies you base your life and wellbeing on?

God Himself has given to humans everything we need – life, breath, food, shelter, etc. God has made us in all our diversity from one original person allowing each culture to have its own timetable to develop, giving each its own place to live and thrive in its distinct ways. His purpose in all this was that people of every culture and religion would search for this ultimate God, grope for Him in the darkness, as it were, hoping to find Him. Yet, in truth, God is not far from any of us. For you know the saying, “We live in God; we move in God; we exist in God.” And still another said, “We are indeed God’s children.” Acts 17

Intentional Authentic Leadership

Posted on by

Leadership

Leadership begins with leading yourself.

You might think that if you are a mom at home you aren’t a leader. Actually, you are one of the most powerful leaders around. Everyday the decisions you make, the words you say and how you grow as a person powerfully impact the next generation. You may only have one child, yet you could be influencing thousands. Don’t take that position lightly.

So, how are you creating an environment in your home that encourages everyone to be the best they can be? Do you feel like what you are doing at home is not important, but the work you do outside of the home – whether it is paid or volunteer, is the really important part of your life?

You might be considered a huge success in other areas of your life, but if you are not creating an irresistible environment at home, where your children and your husband (if you have one) want to be, then you are failing at the most significant role that you have.

Tips for creating an Irresistible Environment at Home (by someone who struggles a lot with this concept)

  1. Make healthy foods a priority. Everyone feels and acts better when their nutritional needs are met and they are not experiencing ravaging cravings for sugar, chemicals and carbs.
  2. Be aware of your own stress levels and seek healthy methods for stress reduction such as exercise, EFT, journalling, talking, etc.
  3. Prioritize intentional fun. Figure out the different things each personality in your family finds fun and join in – even if it is not your fun thing. Celebrate your differences.
  4. Seek to grow your family towards an emotionally and spiritually healthy foundation.
  5. Affirmation. Everyone needs affirmation. Give it liberally. It might not come back to you, so find ways of giving it to yourself.

Parenting is a very long-term commitment. It is similar to one of those very conservative stocks you invest in and leave it for a long time. The dividends in parenting can be much better than the stock investment, but you might only reap the richest rewards at 10, 15 or 20 years in.

 

 

Anger Part 2

Posted on by

Hey!Anger is a difficult emotion to understand, witness or experience. We see the devastating results of unleashed anger all around us (war, family feuds, road rage, etc.).

Anger gets our adrenaline going and we get all worked up, but we might not even understand why. We are churning inside and feel the need to do something. The easiest thing we often do, is strike out at those in our immediate environment. For instance, we might get disturbing news and suddenly become all snarly with the people around us. A young child whose toy gets snatched out of his hand by a playmate, might retaliate with physical aggression. Watching children over many years, it is easy to see that this type of response is gut level and automatic.

If we want to have a different response, or if we want our children to have a different response, it will require understanding and training.

It is important to note that anger is most often a secondary response. That means that if we stop and investigate, there is a feeling lying underneath our gut response of anger. It often involves a feeling of hurt, loss or injustice.

Sometimes there is a clear source of our anger. For instance, if someone criticizes us, laughs at us, or tries to bully or abuse us, we can easily understand why we feel anger.

Other times the actions provoking anger may be more subtle. When someone makes a statement that disregards important points I’ve made, or values I hold, I can feel hurt, insulted, or invalidated and then I get angry. When someone spills something on my freshly mopped kitchen floor, I feel disregarded and taken for granted. I don’t feel the work I have done is being respected and I can easily get angry.

Exploring the underlying causes of our angry feelings is a very helpful step towards working towards a more mature response to anger.

Sometimes, as parents, we witness a young child’s anger, and it causes us embarrassment. Anger in children is so basic, and can be loud and poorly expressed. To save ourselves from the critical opinions of others, we can try to shut down this immature expression of anger – immediately. While this may save us momentary embarrassment, training our children to ignore their feelings and shut off their anger is not helping them to understand their emotions and learn to control their actions. And, as I mentioned here it can lead to serious health consequences for them later.

Finding other parents who understand the process of growing emotionally mature children is a great help on the parenting journey. If every parent around you shuts down their child’s anger, you can be regarded as a very poor example of a parent, when your child flies into a raging tantrum.

Showing respect for our children’s emotions does not mean pandering to them and allowing our children to always get whatever they want. It does mean allowing them to feel strongly and help them to understand where those strong feelings might be coming from.

AngerAn interesting and complicating factor is that angry children have a way of pushing our parenting buttons in just the right way to cause us to have a deep angry response. We need to stop and ask ‘what is that about?’ Does an angry outburst by your child feel like personal rejection to you, especially in light of all the great sacrifices you have made on behalf of the child – like sleep deprivation and hours of selfless toil? Do you feel like all the investment you have put into your child should result in a perfectly cooperative little person who shows you respect 100% of the time?

Sometimes we need to stop and work on our own issues so that we can grow in our own maturity in dealing with anger. Some of us might have been trained to stuff our anger which makes it very difficult to understand our raging emotions. Growing in our own understanding will help us to be much better at guiding our children in handling their strong feelings.

I have learned most of this the hard way, through the grace of Jesus Christ. These are not easy things to learn or recognize in ourselves, which is one of the many reasons I seek the power of God practically applied in every area of my life.

My web-site stats show a lot of people read Anger Part 1. I’m glad this information is being shared and found to be helpful. I’d love to hear your stories and dialogue about this important topic.

My friend and one of my heroes, Lisa Joyce Goes, writes passionately and poignantly on the reality of vaccine damage. She has been a victim, as the mother of a vaccine injured son, and has firsthand experience of the serious physical and neurological damage (often referred to as autism), but THEY ARE HEALING HIM using biomedical treatments. Lisa writes and has given me permission to share:

From a nurse with a newly diagnosed kiddo (autism, ODD, and severe food allergies are his DX)

“I just knew there was something wrong. I knew, I watched these kids come into our office just getting more and more distracted, normal kids just getting lost and when we asked the peds just kept saying, “Do you want them to die from pertussis? Give them the shot.” One mom who I used to chat with in our office left her kid. SHE LEFT HER KID, because she couldn’t handle him anymore. She came in like a lunatic claiming that after he got his shots he was not the same. They calmed her down and told her it was not possible. He was still in diapers at nine years old and she just couldn’t do it anymore. And now I can’t help but wonder–did God give me this because I didn’t stand up for her son? Because I knew then. I knew in my bones, I knew what was happening. But, I needed my job and I honestly thought the kids who ended up getting sick were just weaker. That wouldn’t happen to us because my husband and I are both healthy. We are athletic, we eat well, we are young. Will I leave my kid? Will he still be in diapers at nine? My husband can’t handle what is going on and I do not even feel like I exist because all I do is clean poop and try to keep our son from hurting himself and me. He hasn’t looked me in the eye in a year and he screams all, the time. He doesn’t talk and I do not know if he ever will.”

K.

First. I am very sorry. I am also short on time, and this is happening to so many families, I wish I could devote more to your issue. I can’t so, I will answer as best I can, quickly. 

Clearly, you’ve begun following The Thinking Moms’ Revolution. We are here for you as best we can be. Your best resource right now IS OTHER MOMS. Run everything you are told by medically savvy, nutritionally educated moms who have brought their kids to a higher place. They will become your new best friends, like soldiers on a battlefield.

I do not know if your child will be in diapers at nine. We were still in diapers at 6. The answer to this question is largely contingent upon the extent of the damage done to his intestines. Ours was extensive but with proper treatment, Repairing the holes punched in his esophagus by the MMR–we came out of it. You need a basic metabolic panel done, you need to know what is happening in your child’s blood and brain. The gut is the source of all the “mental” illnesses our toxic compromised children endure. Dysbiosis there leads to mitochondrial and metabolic instability throughout. It is systemic.

That mom leaving her child has nothing to do with you. You did not do the right thing then. You know now, so you CAN DO THE RIGHT THING NOW. There is no better place to evangelize than the pediatricians office.

You and your hub have to do something called “cleaving”. You have got to get on the same page and work TOGETHER. NOW. I know what it feels like to not do anything but poop patrol. Pray hard. Meditate hard. Whatever you do, do it hard and lots. It is the only thing that will pull you through this.

God did not do this to you. Man did this to you. Greed, large special interests, GMOs, irresponsible medicine, disgustingly awful legislation that protects the authors of our children’s profound illness…vaccine manufacturers, as you once suspected but now KNOW, did this to you. And, in an effort to save you thousands in counseling bills…yes…YOU did this to you, by choosing TO GO AGAINST YOUR OWN INTUITION. Don’t do that anymore. Listen to that internal voice, it is there for a reason. And do NOT dwell in guilt. You are in really good company. Lots of super educated moms, professors, nurses, doctors, teachers, entrepreneurs, realtors, the list goes on and on. It is happening to us all…but, because of the medicaid provisions, and the new “law” in New York that is mandating vaccines for public school aged kids, it is happening disproportionately to the poor. So, get to work on your kid. When you are finished you will have a lot of other kids to help. 

And, I am truly very sorry this happened. But, know, that, every time someone says “everything happens for a reason…God gave this to you and not me because He knows I couldn’t handle it”….instead of punching them, it is your job to EDUCATE them. They know not what they do. But you…now DO. You are awake now. Time to get to work.

My heart cries out when I hear the multitude of stories of families who have been 100% trusting in the medical recommendations they have received, yet have been betrayed and experience unimaginable suffering as a result. My heart cries out to help parents avoid the same pain and to stop this madness. EDUCATE before you VACCINATE.  Educate does not mean asking all your friends what they think, asking your doctor what he thinks and submitting to fear based tactics. Educate means dig into the science. Find out the risks of this “contagious infectious illness” you are trying to protect your child from. Find out what are the real risks of the vaccine and what EXACTLY they contain. Take your time. Spend more time on this issue than any other issue involved in the birth of your baby – eg. stroller, carseat, other ‘baby’ equipment, or birth provider. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION YOU CAN MAKE. If you were my adult child, this is what I would tell you, lovingly as a mom…

LIve well, live long, enjoy your children, learn about Jesus…

My purpose is that you may be encouraged in heart and united in love so that you may have the full measure of complete understanding in order that you may know the mystery of God, namely Jesus Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I tell you this so that no one may deceive you with fine sounding arguments. Paul, 2000 years ago, still relevant today.

Adult Disposable Underwear (aka diapers)

disposable diapersJudging from the product space given in supermarkets and the advertisements for these products, it must be a burgeoning industry. When I did a search for incontinence products I was overwhelmed.

WHY?

Why is there so much need for this product today that there wasn’t 10, 15, or 20 years ago?

These questions should be asked by everyone who would never want to wear them and doesn’t really want to change someone they love.

I submit that the toxins assaulting our brains and basic bodily functions are possibly the primary culprits for this trend of incontinence. The worst offenders could be:

  1. VACCINATIONS & MEDICATIONS. We are injecting our children and ourselves with concoctions which contain harmful chemicals and known brain damaging heavy metals. Prescription and over the counter medications have been accepted as a normal part of life. We don’t question our need for pain relievers, asthma medications, antibiotics, etc. etc. etc. The average child now takes how many medications in their lifetime? The average senior citizen is on how many prescriptions?
  2. CHEMICAL ADDITIVES IN OUR FOOD, CLEANING PRODUCTS AND PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS. We are exposed to ±80,000 chemicals on a regular basis and yet no one has ever studied how these chemicals can interact with each other in our body. Educate yourself. Room fresheners pouring out chemicals for you and your loved ones to regularly breathe in are NOT a good idea. Any product you put on your skin is absorbed. Wean yourself off of your favorite products. There are substitutes that are healthier and CHEAPER! There are so many ways you can make your own. We have been the victims of marketing exercises our whole life. We think it would be impossible to get clean clothes without certain well known brand names. We have been indoctrinated to think any product that is promoted to make me look good is good.
  3. ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS are maybe the WORST offender of all. Sweeteners created in laboratories are widely added to all manner of ‘food’ items. Science has shown repeatedly that these chemical concoctions are harmful, yet it has become a political issue to keep them in our supermarkets. When combined, these compounds can boil at 87° F. With our natural body temperature at 98 ° F, these chemicals are hitting our body and having chemical reactions inside of us, destroying bladders and more. They also cross the blood brain barrier and cause brain damage.

If you scoff and think you are not going to give up your artificial sweeteners I have to ask why?

  • The addictive property of these chemicals is extremely high. You are probably addicted if even the thought of discovering the truth makes you want to avoid the effort. You are happily living in the lies of marketing.
  • If you think they help you lose weight or avoid gaining weight, the evidence does not support this. Studies show that people who use artificial sweeteners actually gain weight. If you want to lose weight, detoxing from these products is one of the first and best things you can do for yourself.

I’ve avoided writing about these issues for a long time because they are so entrenched in our society that sometimes when I mention the dangers people think I am the one who is crazy.

However, my ongoing research has convinced me that the science ABSOLUTELY SUPPORTS THE FACT THAT THESE THINGS ARE DANGEROUS AND CAN BE DEADLY. Continue to use them at your own peril. But, please inform yourself. And don’t give them to your children or anyone you love – unless you want to be changing their adult diapers when they become incontinent.

Live long, live well. Seek the truth in all things.

“My purpose is that you may be encouraged in heart and united in love so that you may have the full measure of complete understanding, in order that you may know the mystery of God, namely Jesus Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.  I tell you this so that no one may deceive you with fine sounding arguments.” Paul, 2000 years ago
