The Cross in Our Bodies
This is a pretty neat story and an interesting thing that few of us know. It's brief, so please
read. (FROM A DOCTOR)
A couple of days ago I was running (I use that term very loosely) on my treadmill,
watching a DVD sermon by Louie Giglio... And I was BLOWN AWAY! I want to share
what I learned.... But I fear not being able to convey it as well as I want. I will share
anyway.

He (Louie) was talking about how inconceivably BIG our God is... How He spoke the
universe into being... How He breathes stars out of His mouth that are huge raging balls
of fire.. Etc. Etc. Then He went on to speak of how this star-breathing, universe creating
God ALSO knitted our human bodies together with amazing detail and wonder. At this
point I am LOVING it (fascinating from a medical standpoint, you know.) . And I was
remembering how I was constantly amazed during medical school as I learned more and
more about God's handiwork. I remember so many times thinking..'How can ANYONE
deny that a Creator did all of this???'
Louie went on to talk about how we can trust that the God who created all this, also has
the power to hold it all together when things seem to be falling apart...how our loving
Creator is also our sustainer.
And then I lost my breath. And it wasn't because I was running my treadmill, either!!!
It was because he started talking about laminin. I knew about laminin.. Here is how
Wikipedia describes them: 'Laminins are a family of proteins that are an integral part of
the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal tissue' You
see.... Laminins are what hold us together.... LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion
molecules. They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we
would literally fall apart. And I knew all this already. But what I didn't know is what they
LOOKED LIKE..
But now I do. And I have thought about it a thousand times since (already)....Here is what
the structure of laminin looks like... AND THIS IS NOT a 'Christian portrayal' of it.... If you
look up laminin in any scientific/medical piece of literature, this is what you will see....
Now tell me that our God is not the coolest!!! Amazing. The glue that holds us together....
ALL of us.... Is in the shape of the cross. Immediately Colossians 1:15-17 comes to mind.
'He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things
were created; things in heaven and on earth, visible And invisible, whether thrones or
powers or rulers or Authorities; All things were created by him and for him. He is before
all things, and in him All things HOLD TOGETHER.'
Colossians 1:15-17
Call me crazy. I just think that is very, very, very cool. Thousands of years before the
world knew anything about laminin, Paul penned those words. And now we see that from
a very LITERAL standpoint, we are held together... One cell to another.... By the cross.
You would never in a quadrillion years convince me that is anything other than the mark
of a Creator who knew EXACTLY what laminin 'glue' would look like long before Adam
breathed his first breath!!

Kennesaw, GA and guns Also about Switzerland and Hitler

Do you know why Switzerland was neutral and remained unconquered by the Germans during WWII ?     It’s because Swiss law requires that every single person own a firearm and be trained in its use.      Hitler was smart enough to know his guys would get blown out of the mountains by the Swiss, so he went where there was gun control.

Kennesaw, Georgia Peaceful with guns Thanks Jon K!

    Jim Thompson I assume this is true...If so it holds to the idea that I read where Chicao has a no guns ban and has a huge gun kill ratio.

Important cell phone info ... Thanks Lou F!

Cell phone info. update

 

Subject: Print this - keep it in your car - cell phone info. update

 

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CELL PHONE  4 Things you might not have known about your cell phone For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.) There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.  Check out the things that you can do with it: FIRST (Emergency) The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile   is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out. SECOND (Hidden Battery Power) Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time. THIRD (How to Disable a STOLEN Mobile Phone)To check your mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone:     *#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. If your phone is stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there will be no point in people stealing mobile phones.   And finally... FOURTH (Free Directory Service for Cells) Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800) FREE411   or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all.  Program this into your cell phone now. This is sponsored by McDonald's. This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends.

A simple pineapple ... Thanks Judi C!

and it tastes good...............  can't beat that.

Pretty cool info!  I didn't know a lot of it, but do know I love a good pineapple!  Think I'll get a couple..

 

A Simple Pineapple - MUST Read

The pineapple is a member of the bromeliad family.  It is extremely rare that bromeliads produce edible fruit. The pineapple is the only available edible bromeliad today.

It is a multiple fruit. One pineapple is actually made up of dozens of individual floweret's that grow together to form the entire fruit. Each scale on a pineapple is evidence of a separate flower.

Pineapples stop ripening the minute they are picked.No special way of storing them will help ripen them further.  Colour is relatively unimportant in determining ripeness. Choose your pineapple by smell.If it smells fresh, tropical and sweet, it will be a good fruit.

The more scales on the pineapple, the sweeter and juicier the taste.

After you cut off the top, you can plant it.  It should grow much

like a sweet potato will.

This delicious fruit is not only sweet and tropical; it also offers many benefits to our health. Pineapple is a remarkable fruit.

We find it enjoyable because of its lush, sweet and exotic flavor, but it may also be one of the most healthful foods available today. If we take a more detailed look at it, we will find that pineapple is valuable for easing indigestion, arthritis or sinusitis.

The juice has an anthelmintic effect; it helps get rid of intestinal worms.

Let's look at how pineapple affects other conditions.

Pineapple is high in manganese, a mineral that is critical to development of strong bones and connective tissue. A cup of fresh pineapple will give you nearly 75% of the recommended daily amount.

It is particularly helpful to older adults, whose bones tend to become brittle with age.

Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme, is the key to pineapple's value.  Proteolytic

means "breaks down protein", which is why pineapple is known to be a digestive aid. It helps the body digest proteins more efficiently.  Bromelain is also considered an effective anti-inflammatory.

Regular ingestion of at least one half cup of fresh pineapple daily is purported to relieve painful joints common to osteoarthritis. It also produces mild pain relief.

In Germany , bromelain is approved as a post-injury medication because it is thought to reduce inflammation and swelling.

Orange juice is a popular liquid for those suffering from a cold because it is high in Vitamin C. Fresh pineapple is not only high in this vitamin, but because of the Bromelain, it has the ability to reduce mucous in the throat.  If you have a cold with a productive cough, add pineapple to your diet.  It is commonly used in Europe as a post-operative measure to cut mucous after certain sinus and throat operations.

Those individuals

who eat fresh pineapple daily report fewer sinus problems related to allergies. In and of itself, pineapple has a very low risk for allergies.

Pineapple is also known to discourage blood clot development. This makes it a valuable dietary addition for frequent fliers and others who may be at risk for blood clots.

An old folk remedy for morning sickness is fresh pineapple juice.  it really works! Fresh juice and some nuts first thing in the morning often make a difference.

It's also good for a healthier mouth. The fresh juice discourages plaque growth.
