29 March 2018 - Your Trash Isn't Their Treasure

Buy Food, Not Packaging

"When you set out to shop for food or home supplies, resolve to bring home as little packaging as possible."


Even in the 1970's people knew that reducing packaging saves money and waste.

I found an article from Zero Waste Nerd on ways to reduce your food packaging.

Really it makes sense to reduce our packaging especially if you have the option to. If you can't then take advantage of recycling programs.

Plastic trash is found all over the world. The bad part is that plastic takes a long long time to decompose. So all the plastic that we put in the environment is now coming back to us.


Plastic found its way into our bottled water because it is in our natural water sources.
It has been for a long time! Ocean, river, and lake clean up efforts have been underway since the 60's when we started seeing how plastics were effecting the environment.

But it seems our behavior has yet to change.

Dead and injured sea life wasn't enough. Maybe when plastic starts getting into our food we will start making a difference to better the world around us.


Turtles will eat plastic bags because of how it resembles jellyfish in the water.


This bird likely died due to eating so much plastic that it found in its habitat.


It's time to start rethinking our need for packaging.

God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post.  This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion.  Jesus would go on to be betraye

4 May 2018 - Take a Trip in the Tardis With Me

"Is There a Doctor in the House?" "Medical emergencies may occur at ay time, especially with young children. Prepare ahead of time by knowing exactly what you will do if it becomes necessary to get medical assistance quickly." Let's just sum up this blog post. AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SUCKS I hate doctors and their offices and their bills. This broken system we have is why "natural" remedies are becoming popular. We choose something other than a professional to treat us because our insurance won't cover services or the doctor might just misdiagnose us and throw meds at us. I'm sure this isn't everyone's experience. It has been mine for years. I had a good doctor once. If you want good medical services it will cost you. Remember when you could just go to a doctor? Now you have to make an appointment months in advance. If you need same day service, go to Urgent Care. If you are experiencing an
