My daughter participated in a health fair and I helped at her booth. It is always interesting to talk with the people that stop by, and fascinating to watch the people whether they stop or not.
Ours was one of the few holistic booths in a convention hall of traditional medicine. Some people studiously ignored us. They would glance at our display, ignore our greeting, and walk on. If they did stop, their comment was often, “I don’t need that. I’m good.”
There were people who didn’t know that we—or any other display—existed. Usually they were in a group and were walking around the fair talking with each other and not paying attention to the displays. One group of three women reminded me of flight attendants. They walked purposely past all other displays to their destination--a weight loss booth.
There were three groups of preschoolers-on-a-string. I imagine their favorites were the pig lung, the therapy dogs, and the booths with candy and balloons. Cookies were available at the host table, which I thought was incongruous for a health fair.
My favorite people, and the reason we participate in health fairs, are the couples or friend groups who see something on our display, and say to each other, “Maybe they can help you.” We probably can help them.
In Luke 8:1-15 Jesus told a story about the sower who had varying success depending on where the seed fell. The sower was faithful to sow the seed; the results depended on the soil where it fell.
Whether it’s health news, God’s Word, or homeschool lessons we’re sowing, we need to be faithful to scatter the seed. Even the good soil would produce nothing without seed. Do you have any stories of faithful sowing that took root over time?
God bless….

Wonderfully Made
©Millie McNabb
My daughter has a natural health clinic and I attended a seminar about minerals with her today. There are so many intricacies to the human body that I once again found myself echoing Psalm 139:14, “I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.”
One of the most interesting things I learned about is a proposed theory of a connection between iodine and cancer. One of the challenges of cancer is that the body itself does not recognize these cells as abnormal, so lets them continue to grow. It appears that iodine is the main surveillance system for abnormal cells, and will trigger their death.
If you’d like more information, leave me a comment, and I’ll get it to you.
God bless…

Skin of your Teeth
©Millie McNabb
I remember my father saying that he had escaped by the “skin of his teeth” and pondering what that might mean. I remember being even more surprised when I found that the phrase was in the Bible in Job 19:20 "My bone clings to my skin and my flesh, And I have escaped {only} by the skin of my teeth.”
We recently visited an exhibit called “Body Worlds.” Human and animal bodies which had been preserved using a polymer plastination process, were on display. The bodies had no skin: some focused on muscles, others were open to reveal the inner anatomy. Each system of the body, with its major organs, was exhibited and explained. There were also examples of diseased organs.
I thought that the most exquisite displays were the ones of the circulation system. The red gossamer image had all the detail of the original animal. It was amazing to see the fine capillaries out to the end of the toenails.
I hope you’ll join me today in giving thanks to God for his design of the body and the intricate interweaving of its systems. “I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:14
