Baby Formula
In reading an article about the latest findings of the CDC, regarding breastfeeding and vaccines, I thought I'd just take a peek at the well known alternative to the plan of our Creator. I'm not saying you have to breastfeed to be a good mother, but there is no argument that breastmilk is natural and more uniquely suited to baby's needs. If mama has a good diet, baby reaps the benefits.
As one can see with the following list of ingredients, replacing nature requires a great deal of chemistry!
- Similac Advance Stage 2 Powder / 1.93-LB (873-g) SimplePac / 6 ct
- Similac Advance Stage 2 Powder / 2.51-LB (1.41-kg) can / 6 ct
Nonfat Milk, Lactose, Whey Protein Concentrate, High Oleic Safflower Oil, Soy Oil, Coconut Oil, Galactooligosaccharides. Less than 2% of the Following: C. Cohnii Oil, M. Alpina Oil, Beta-Carotene, Lutein, Lycopene, Potassium Citrate, Calcium Carbonate, Ascorbic Acid, Soy Lecithin, Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Chloride, Ferrous Sulfate, Choline Bitartrate, Choline Chloride, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Salt, Taurine, m-Inositol, Zinc Sulfate, Mixed Tocopherols, d-Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate, Niacinamide, Calcium Pantothenate, L-Carnitine, Vitamin A Palmitate, Cupric Sulfate, Thiamine Chloride Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Folic Acid, Manganese Sulfate, Phylloquinone, Biotin, Sodium Selenate, Vitamin D3, Cyanocobalamin, Calcium Phosphate, Potassium Phosphate, Potassium Hydroxide, and Nucleotides (Adenosine 5’-Monophosphate, Cytidine 5’-Monophosphate, Disodium Guanosine 5’-Monophosphate, Disodium Uridine 5’-Monophosphate).

Figuring the Dates
The debates that ensue around Torah Instruction always rattle me, because it seems debates ALWAYS ensue! I want to be obedient. I want to honor YHWH in all that I do. I want to be like Messiah, yet when the debates begin, the very first thing I do, is doubt myself. I'm getting better about not doubting my understanding, but by the same token I want to remain teachable. I don't know everything, but I am rapidly approaching the place of being offended at many of the debates; as they seem to be the replacement for actually "doing something." And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens
grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your
fingers. Luke 11:46
According to my mathematical calculation, 1930 was the preparation year before Shemitah. Before we debate the establishment of democratic Israel in 1948, let's remember that YHWH created all the world and the soil everywhere becomes depleted if it doesn't lie fallow, periodically. We must also remember, even without an official nation state of Israel in 1930, we had Bibles in our language. Romans 11 was very much a part of that Bible. The fact that this coming year marks the 12th Shemitah since the warning/judgment of the Great Depression may be significant. Twelve is a pretty big number in Scripture!
The following is a paragraph from the article in Wikipedia: Dust Bowl
>>The unusually wet period, which encouraged increased settlement and cultivation in the Great Plains, ended in 1930. This was the year in which an extended and severe drought began which caused crops to fail, leaving the plowed fields exposed to wind erosion. The fine soil of the Great Plains was easily eroded and carried east by strong continental winds. Full Article
In looking at the promo for Jonathan Cahn's new release, "Mystery of Shemitah," my emphasis is not to focus on Wall Street, nor am I predicting the fall of America by attack, although economic collapse is entirely possible, and America certainly has enemies. I've had a problem for several years now, with our discussion of the Great Depression and reverence for what is now coined, "The Greatest Generation." I certainly mean no disrespect to any individuals, but to survive the warning or judgment of G-d without repentance does not make for greatness! Rather than repenting and returning to agriculture as our Creator planned it, or just repenting for ignoring Scripture; this nation fled to the cities to make money, then entrusted that money to the very banks that failed and shuttered. Leaving agriculture, dropping the gold standard and establishing social security didn't make us a better people, it just lowered the standard.
Twelve Shemitah cycles later, where are we? We are no longer an agrarian nation. With less than 2% of the population now farming does the rest of the 98% of the population have no responsibility regarding Shemitah? I honestly do not have the answer, but I have a heaviness in my spirit that we are going to experience the judgment for our continued disregard of Torah. An economic collapse or another war, will be a hardship or tragedy, but we've survived both, before. The fear of the sword of our enemies is gaining prominence, and death by sword is definitely in prophecy. Although that would be harrowing to face, death by sword is a single event that is over, once it is implemented. A famine doesn't begin and end in a single day. A famine, and the chaos that would accompany famine, is not something today's Americans have ever experienced.
. . . And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger . . . the Revelation of Holy Scripture

A Sheriff With Experience
I remember following this case a few years ago. This is another Goshen, which I'm sure caught my eye, and of course the subject matter is one near my own heart. An Amish man was being harassed by FDA over his sale of raw milk. Mind you there had been no complaints of health problems. As the entire situation unfolded, Sheriff Brad Rogers took his oath of office, seriously, quite seriously. He defended and protected the citizens of his county, even from the feds.
This same man, Sheriff Rogers, went to the Bundy ranch and wrote quite a letter, I first read the letter on his FB page, but I can't link that from here, so I've found another site which has apparently been able to make his letter public. I am not promoting this particular news site, but the letter is a good read. Sheriff Rogers did have some strong words of conviction for Sheriff Gillespie.

DANGER Approved!
This approval by the feds just boggles the mind. It's already been explained that "snorting" is an instant buzz. And "they say" not to do it. Parents, please take note. It's powder and it's powerful. All the details are not yet released, but the promo indicates it will hit the shelves by fall. The link below is the home page.
Please, parents, before school begins next year, have the facts!

Public Bath Houses
I used to wonder how the ancient civilizations of Rome and Greece could be so "open" sexually. I believe what's happening right here, before my very eyes, is answering that question. Now that some elementary children are using the bathroom of their "gender identity" rather than their actual identified sex, the desensitization has begun. The fact that anyone in their right mind could claim the authority of "gender assignment" at birth is ludicrous. Gender assignment takes place at 40 days gestation. At 280 days gestation, approximately; the baby arrives into this world, already assigned a gender and identified as such.
Using gender "confusion" or whatever it's now called is just fueling the fire of misinformation. If someone "identifies" differently than their anatomy, they are given special privilege. That's not exactly a "level playing field," but that's the reality of our society. The illusion of modesty is all but gone from our society, already. Now, immodesty is actually promoted, and for those of us who would rather not "see everything everyone's got," it's only a matter of time before that will be considered intolerant or "anatophobic" [fear of anatomy].
How far will our society go to redefine "tolerance?" I thought tolerance meant an acceptance of individual's rights to have views and perspectives other than your own, or at least an acceptance of their right to disagree. When did tolerance mean everyone had to accept everything? And if so, why are those who are blatantly choosing and forcing their lifestyles, not labeled intolerant or moralophobic?
As we continue to redefine so much in our society, I now see how public bath houses and public nudity was simply accepted in these ancient civilizations. We might want to also consider the fact as we studied these ancient civilizations, they are now, in fact, history . . .

War on the Wars . . .
The war on drugs has only caused prisons to go Big Biz, causing the "land of the free" to become the country of containment, while inspiring many to become "chemists" and experiment with all sorts of things around the house that haven't yet made the DEA "illegal" list, like various household cleaners and incense.
I saw a meme earlier that I tried to find to include, but alas . . . Anyway, the gist of the meme brought to focus how the war on drugs seems to have facilitated rampant drug use and the war on terror has terrorists abounding, so since "the war on" expands the magnitude of the target . . . perhaps it's time to declare a war on the economy and jobs . . .
What we fight, becomes the focus and then seems to defeat the cause, or . . . is just the long way to further regulate and control a people who were once free.
We absolutely cannot make everything illegal to keep people safe! Perhaps it's really time to start focusing on individual purpose and encouraging kids to use their gifts, rather than cause so many to feel they'd rather just experience avoidance.
