How significant is water?

We all know that we can survive many days, even weeks, without food.  However, we cannot survive very long without water.

The people of Charleston, WV have a new perspective on the reality of the need for clean water after the recent chemical spill into their river and water supplies.  What many may not know is the pandemonium which erupted as people flocked to stores to stock up on water; news media outlets kept that rather quiet.  

This ARTICLE gives a more balanced picture of what took place and also encourages people to plan ahead.

To that end, have a look AT THIS LINK where you can easily find top of the line, tested products that will be shipped directly to your door.  Wouldn't it be wonderful to be a blessing to our families and to others?

The times.....

A couple of days ago, I was reminded of a poem I wrote in 1985 after I'd visited the former Soviet Union.  We'd spent 11 days playing basketball and "touring", during which time, this naive 21 year old, was shocked by the limitations people there lived under.  It's one thing to read about communism and socialism and quite another to experience it first-hand, even as a "tourist".  

In the poem, I reflected upon sights, sounds and smells, and the last two lines read:

I never knew what freedom was
Until I saw what it is not.

Those same words flooded my being this week as I read about our nation's freedoms slowly being whittled away.  The tell-tale sign in the former Soviet Union of freedom being gone was the rise and promulgation of atheism.  

When a nation turns its back on God, freedom, in the truest sense of the word, flies out the window.  May we learn from other nations' mistakes and turn back to God in America!

DoTerra Essential Oils

My husband caught a cold...and we are treating it with lots of liquids, rest and DoTerra Essential Oils!

WOW, what a difference these oils are making in his recovery.  We've heard of people suffering for weeks with this junk and he is coming around today after just 3 days of intensive treatments with eucalyptus, OnGuard, Lemon, and Lime, primarily.
