I took bits and pieces from an email I received. I thought this was really neat.

Definitely a God-stop.:-)

God's Pharmacy...


A sliced carrot looks like the pupil, iris, and radiating lines of the human eye. Science shows carrots greatly enhance the blood flow to and the function of the eyes.




The tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed food for the heart and blood.





Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound, blood-vitalizing food for the heart.




A walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. Walnuts help develop more than three-dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.



Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and look like the human kidneys.




Celery, bok choy, rhubarb, and others look like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium, and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus weakening them. These foods replenish the body's skeletal needs.


Avocadoes, eggplant, and pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. It takes exactly nine months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods; modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them.


Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.



Sweet potatoes look like the pancreas and balance the glycemic index of diabetics.





Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.




Oranges, grapefruits, and other citrus fruits look like the mammary glands of the female and assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.



Onions look like the body's cells. Research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

Genesis 1

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so.

10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good.

11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so.

12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

This morning I took the kids "swimming" at the local wading pool... We got there early- before all the other kids started arriving- and got in at least an hour of water time. Then it was home for lunch and Barbies and Rescue Heroes.

Beans and pickles

Blessing #5 has decided to wear big-boy unders. He is potty training himself- pretty much started all this while we were on vacation. 'Bout time.

But then, I guess if I'd been in a big hurry, I'd have been forcing it on him a long time ago.:)

Since he's doing it on his own, he's self-motivated and has a great attitude about it all. In fact, over two long days of driving home, he did not have a single poopy diaper- saved it for the hotel and the rest stops.


I just came downstairs from going up to his room to upright his chest of drawers... which he toppled in the process of digging out a pair of underwear. He just need that one pair with all the tools all over. We are heading to the grocery store in a bit, so, with a little coercion and a little force, I got him to put on some plastic pants over those tool unders.


In fact, he just pulled down his plastic pants and his unders and plopped his little bottom on the potty. As he sat there, he let me know that he went "teeny beany poops" in the potty. "And when I go big poops," he has said before, "it looks like a pickle."


Now we can further classify his pottying- not just from "Did you go wet-wets or poopies?" but instead ask "wet-wets, beany poops, or pickle poops?"
