Some Thoughts

       This week I wanted to take a quick look at a book that I just finished reading, as well as a documentary film that is coming out. I know this a  little different then what I normally do, but I think it's important to mention this stuff. The book we are going to look at is called Chia Vitality and the movie is called Wait Till It's Free.

          As I said I just finished reading this book called Chia Vitality, and thought it was really informative. I really liked what she had to say about Chia seeds, but alot of what she had to say was New Agey. To read my whole review check out my other blog.

       Wait Till It's Free is a feature length documentary film about socialized health care and the implications of Obamacare. It is made by filmmaker Colin Gunn. It will be an exciting film to watch and extremely informative. If you are interested in learning more about this film go to the Wait Till It's Free website. Mr. Gunn also has a podcast in which he talks about his film and has tons of great interviews with professionals in the field. If you are interested in listening to his podcast you can download it on iTunes.

       You may be wondering why I am talking about this stuff on a blog about essential oils. As a Christian I believe that Christians as  a whole need and should get involved in politics as well as be better stewards of what God has given us. Those gifts include, but aren't limited to our physical bodies, our health and our money. I mention our health because if we aren't taking care of ourselves, we can't help and love others like God commands.  I am not saying that if we do everything right and eat healthy and exercise and drink lots of water etc., that we will be guaranteed good health. It may be in God's plan for us that we go through a terrible sickness, but we still need to take care of the body that He gave us. What bothers me is that we (Christians) have given nutrition, essential oils and other natural remedies to the world. We think that only hippies or New Agers or Buddhists use them, when in reality God made them first. The Bible is full of natural remedies that God tells His people to use. I am also not saying that conventional medicine is wrong. However there is a lot wrong with it and the system, just like everything else in this world. There needs to be a better balance between conventional medicine and natural remedies. I believe that both can be used simultaneously. Let's claim both forms of medicine and our health for the glory of God! We also need to be better stewards of our money. Both in what we buy and the way we earn it. It is a gift from God that He blesses us with in varying amounts. No matter how much the Lord has blessed you with use it to His glory.

Soli Deo Gloria!
