I was able to go to a wonderful workshop with the Truth at Work group. We were trying to determine the approximate amount of time a person should work per week and still keep the family life in balance. Based on the Bible as our reference we were able to estimate a 40-46 hour work week.

Now scientific review of this issue has come up with 40 as the average amount of time per week a person should work and still stay sane. Basically, you become more and more unproductive the more hours you work. Thus a waste of time, but what compels us to over work. Answer this and life will change for you.

Obviously your home life and health decline and become out of balance too and that is where I come in. When you are out of balance for a long enough period of time, your health goes downhill and you have to come see me. I will just tell you to stop working so much, exercise and eat right and take care of your family relationship better. So, instead of coming to me just stop overworking and get your life straight.

A recent study shows a link between negative brain changes and pesticides. Chloropyrifos or CPF, was banned from use in American homes, but is allowed to be used in public domains and is still used in places like South America where lots of our food comes from.

There is clear evidence that mothers exposed to CPF, even with low doses, have a much higher risk for producing a child with significant brain abnormalities.

Excuse me, but aren't parks and golf courses there for people to use. So why would we allow CPF's to be used as the pesticide on these public public areas? There is absolutely no common sense to allow this to continue. I can already hear the government agency saying; there is no proof that CPF’s are not safe at the doses used in parks and public domains. What if you are the sensitive one, what if you are the one that can't process and remove this chemical in your body after exposure?

This is of course the tip of the iceberg, but how long is the public's well-being second place to industry profits. How long will you stand by? Will it be a child in your family that has to suffer first?

Have you ever wondered if the ant spray and weed killer was killing you and your family slowly? Do you feel like there is no other choice? Well, there are other choices and here are options I use personally. Try them!

• Ant Spray: 10 ½ ounces of water, 3 ounces of Tabasco sauce and 2 ½ ounces of Dr. Bronner’s liquid peppermint soap
• Inside Home bug spray: 1 ounce of peppermint oil, 1 ounce of citronella oil, and 2 tablespoons of Dr. Bronner’s liquid peppermint soap, and add 1 gallon of water. It does not stain your wood at this dilution
• Weed: purchase white vinegar and pour them on the weeds. It is cheaper and safer.

Use these healthy and cost savings solutions and you no longer have to wonder what harm you may be causing.

God Bless,

I will say it this way: No one can think or feel good with such a severe sugar high from bad cereals and pop tarts we feed our kids. Stop putting your children in harm's way, it is hurtful long term and should be stopped immediately. It is not "better than nothing" to feed them this sugar rich meal.  

Here are 10 cereals with 41% or more of the cereal nutrition coming from sugar:

• Kellogg's Honey Smacks
• Post Golden Crisp
• Kellogg’s Froot Loops Marshmallow
• Quaker Oats Cap'n Crunch's OOPS! All Berries
