How Does God Rate In The Polls?

By Arthur Levine God better watch out, the devil may be gaining on Him. According to a Fox News poll, ninety-two percent of the U.S. population believes in God. This provides an interesting comparison because the PEW Research Institute has statistics that show that roughly forty-nine percent of the population attends houses of worship on a regular basis and forty-nine percent attend rarely if at all. Evidently the concept of God is more popular than organized religion or going to Church. The Gallop Poll and the Harris Poll and an ABC News poll also confirm this, but Gods popularity percentage verses the popularity of going to church varies with each poll. Sometimes I suppose it depends on how the spirit moves you, or what and who you think that God is that determines where, why and how you search for God. Unfortunately according to this poll seventy-one percent of the population also believes that the devil exists, but this doesnt mean he is popular or that anyone is searching for him thank God. Of course you can skew the poll results in many different ways depending on how you ask a question and interpret the results. Perhaps this is why the same Fox News poll shows that eighty-five percent of the population believes in Heaven. It is hard to determine if this means that seven percent of those that believe in God dont think they stand a chance in hell of getting into Heaven (92%-85%=7%) or if they just dont buy into the whole concept of there being a Heaven, but do believe in God just in case. This same poll shows that eighty-two percent of people believe in miracles. Does this mean that they are part of the vast majority of people who believe it will take a miracle for them to get into Heaven? To make matters worse, while the percentage of people believing in God has stayed relatively constant over the last few years or in some polls decreased, the percentage believing in the existence of the devil has increased from sixty-three percent to seventy-one percent over roughly the same period of time. I cant figure out what the hell this part of the poll means. I suppose it is open to interpretation. I dont think it is necessary in discussing polls about the popularity of God to mention that these polls are probably correct plus or minus 3% because I doubt that God is running against anybody. Which makes me stop and wonder why if there is no chance of anyone else but God winning, why would anyone take a poll to begin with? Do you think that the devil has anything to do with this insane desire on the part of certain news organizations to take polls about who does and doesnt believe in God? Why cant we leave the poll taking to the atheists? They know who they are, and since they represent such a small and unconvinced percentage (8%) of the population, they should be responsible for paying for these polls in my opinion, or do they have the privilege of invoking minority rights. And whom would they invoke them to anyway? They certainly cant turn to God, can they? There is an obvious Gender Gap in relationship to these God like polls with women more likely than men to believe in most categories including Miracles by twelve percent and Heaven by eight percent. The one notable exception is that thirty-nine percent of men believe in UFOs verses thirty percent of women. I dont know what UFOs have to do with God, but my wife tells me that if I dont get off the subject she is going to send me into outer space. I wonder if she is mad or just wants to give me an opportunity to meet my maker? Please dont rush me honey, I think I am on a fast track as it is. Of perhaps more value to this discussion on polls about God is the fact that Fox News says republicans are more likely by eight percent to say they believe in God and by fifteen percent in Heaven and by seventeen percent in the devil, while democrats believe in reincarnation by fourteen percent more than republicans. What do they mean when they use the term say? Does that mean the republicans dont really mean it? Why the disparity when if comes to believing in the devil? Are the republicans out to get his vote too? How should we interpret the figures on reincarnation? Does this mean the democrats are hoping they can come back as republicans or just hoping for a comeback? This is all too confusing. Before we leave the subject of polls about God to their eternal resting place, I think it worth noting that this same poll indicates that young people are much more likely to believe in hell by a ratio of eighty-six percent to sixty-eight percent for those over seventy years old. The same applies to the devil by a ratio of seventy-nine percent to sixty-nine percent. Does this mean that for older Americans their hell raising days are over, or does it mean that the younger generations are hell bent on raising the devil with our established religious traditions? I dont know. I dont even know if the younger or older Americans understand their respective positions on hell and the devil any better than those of us caught in the hellish position of being middle aged, which by the way the poll doesnt cover as an individual age group at all. I leave these weighty interpretations in Gods hands, who, without the benefit of polling statistics, I am sure, will find the grace to interpolate and understand. The one part of the poll I am really happy about I saved for last. This one makes the whole polling thing worthwhile for me. It shows that fully sixty-nine percent of the population believes that religion plays too small a part in our lives. Thats what Ive been saying all along. Before I leave this exercise in my God given right to have opinions on polls about God, I should also make note of the fact that Fox News says that their poll was conducted over two days by telephone to over 900 people. What about the rest of the almost three hundred million people in the United States? Dont we get a say? Has anyone tried polling God for his input lately? I wonder what He would have to say about His poll numbers? I bet He will have the final say. Please feel free to use this article as long as credit is given to the resource box.

Career Change - Do I Dare Do What I Love For A Living?

By Connie Bowen Its been nine years now since I retired from my full-time career of court reporting. Id been a reporter for 23 years and was trying to find just the right part-time job for my interests and abilities. In my search, I had taken a part-time job for a veterinary clinic working in the kennel area because I dearly love animals. After five months, however, this proved to be too strenuous a job for me. I loved caring for the animals, but most of my time was spent cleaning the kennels and bedding, and washing and disinfecting food bowls and floors. On Sundays I was alone all morning sometimes with 25 dogs and 5 cats to care for and not all the animals were friendly and happy to be there. In fact, most of them wanted to go home so badly, the barking never stopped. Id spend time reading their information sheets aloud and telling them how many big sleeps it would be before they got to go home. I was so exhausted from standing on the cement all day, I finally decided to try something else I felt I would be more physically suited to. I answered ads galore and visited scores of employment agencies, all to no avail. I was confused as to which direction to take next so I attended a drop-in support group for job seekers and listened attentively to each persons story. As it got closer to my turn to speak, I felt my emotions beginning to well up inside me. I was becoming bitter about the whole process of interview/interviewee. I had tried dressing for success and felt my left toe going numb in my too-tight heels, the air being squeezed out of my lungs in my fashionable leather belt and my ear lobes stinging with pain from my upscale earrings. My son had commented to me as he saw me going to one more job interview, Mom, if you dont like wearing those clothes, why do you do it? I had to admit, I had no good answer for him. I have to look good for my job interview was all I could manage to mumble. In the support group, when it came time for me to speak, I almost broke out in tears of frustration. I railed against the 8:00 to 5:00 time card mentality of the companies I had applied to work for. The facilitator ended my monologue with, Why do you want to work for anybody else? It sounds like you want to work for yourself. Ahhhh, the clarity of those words was like putting a piece of duct tape over my mouth. I was suddenly speechless. He had said it all for me. What Color Is Your Parachute? was a book that a job counselor had recommended that I read. She said I was unfocused as to exactly what I wanted in a new career direction. I found a copy of the book at the library and devoured every page and did every exercise hoping to uncover my hidden interests and unknown skills. Time and again after each exercise I came up with the exact same three passions: art, animals and metaphysics. With one exercise, I was to imagine which group of people I would gravitate toward at any party. I picked the artistic/intuitives. Every magazine that came to my house covered one or all of those subjects, and every bookmark on my computer was from a website that specialized in one of those areas. Now that I had my most favorite passions in mind, what was I to do with them? Deep in the recesses of my mind, I knew that I loved to draw and paint animals, but how could I turn that into a career? Would anyone want a portrait of their companion animal? What would I charge and how would I begin? I attended a dog show and a dog walking fundraiser and put in my booth a painting of my Australian Shepherds along with samples of other paintings I had completed for friends and family. One by one the orders started to trickle in. I learned how to write html and loaded a page on ebay offering my services as an animal portrait artist. Everywhere I went I used affirmations to bolster my courage and send a message out to the universe. I am working full-time as an animal portrait artist, I repeated. Prosperity flows easily to me as I share my gifts with the world. Sure enough, orders from my ebay page started to come to me. I was shipping completed portraits all over the country and up into Canada! Now, as we step into present day, the feedback from my clients is enormously satisfying. I have that fulfilled feeling in my heart that Id always wanted in my work. Metaphysics also looms large in my experience of painting portraits. One time recently I was working on a portrait for a friend I met through ebay. The portrait was of a German shepherd that had passed over the Rainbow Bridge. He looked almost exactly like my long-haired German shepherd that had died years ago. This German shepherd was named Wolf and his one ear was relaxed and tipped over just like my shepherd’s one ear. The resemblance was uncanny! As I was attempting to paint Wolf’s portrait, I was having so much trouble. I literally worked 2 hours on just the layout and then ended up painting out what I had started and beginning again! This had never happened before. I felt I was having an emotional block because of the resemblance. I said a quick prayer for help and continued on. I was moving my little magnifying glass over the picture and zeroing in on one of his eyes. Just then, his eye GLEAMED at me, with a light that radiated from the picture! I froze. I felt chills run up and down my spine. It was then that I saw it ~ a tiny, hairline scratch on the photo that was reflecting the light back to me and bringing his eye to life! From then on I realized that I had all the help I needed. I felt his energy with me with each stroke of my brush. I continue to this day to feel each animals energy as I paint. I sometimes run my hand back and forth over the photo. Ive felt the festive personality of a cocker spaniel, or the quiet pulled-in nature of an aging poodle. When I feel a blockage and I cant seem to get the animals likeness just right, I say a prayer and hear words of encouragement come to me and Im guided as to what and how next to apply the paint. My love and devotion to animals and to portray them as the faces of love that they truly are has led me in a new direction of happiness, fulfillment and peace. To all who are searching as I have done: its all there inside you ~ just reach in, reach out and know that you are loved!!!

Effects of Glyconutritional Supplements in Children With Bipolar Disorder

By Mary Zesiewicz, MD The following is a synopsis of a research study completed with 20 children diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, examining the benefits of glyconutritional supplements: Bipolar Disorder is diagnosed with increasing frequency in children and adolescents. Approximately 20% of all Bipolar patients experience their first episode during adolescence. Challenges in diagnosis include differentiation from ADD and other child behavioral disorders. The intensity and severity of mood swings and unprovoked behavioral outbursts create undue suffering for both the children and their families. Treatment includes both medications and therapy. Mood stabilizers and a newer class of medication, atypical antipsychotics, are used with increasing frequency. While meds are more of a last resort clinically, the option becomes higher priority when a youngster’s outbursts become a risk to hurt self or others, even accidentally. Caution with medication is always indicated, due to risk of side effects and the lack of research of many of these medications in children. The study examined the potential benefits of glyconutritional supplements for a period of 5 months. The results of this study were promising. Of 15 children who completed the study, 14 exhibited considerable improvement after 20 weeks on glyconutritional supplements. One child exhibited mild improvement on glyconutritional supplements. Children who experienced side effects from the medications for Bipolar Disorder displayed considerable improvement in their tolerability to medication. Examples included: near elimination in sedation from Risperdal and elimination of migraines while on Seroquel and Trileptal. One youngster who had been very fatigued from his medication regimen, which included Trileptal, Lexapro, Ambien, Abilify and Seroquel, experienced elimination of daytime fatigue by week 12. It was also clear to the researchers and study volunteers that the children looked happier, healthier, calmer and more stable as the study progressed. At the onset of this study, all parents expressed interest in the potential benefits of the supplements, particularly in offsetting side effects; however, all parents were clear that it had take quite along time for their children to become stable on their medications and they wished not to make changes in their medications prematurely. Many of the children had been hospitalized at least once. All families were highly invested in their childrens’ well-being and each felt their child’s condition was the single largest stressor in the family, including for the child who suffered from the condition. Our initial study results speak to the need for larger clinical trials over longer periods of time. Along with use of psychotropic medications in children, augmentation strategies with natural supplements, particularly glyconutritionals, warrant further consideration to improve childrens’ overall health, augment mood stabilizing effects of medications and improve tolerability of medications. Longer term studies may determine if medications could be successfully weaned, at least in part, over a longer period of time. Copyright 2006 INTEGRITY HEATH SOLUTIONS Mary F.

How to Prevent Varicose Veins

By Marilyn Pokorney According to The National Womens Health Information Center, as many as 60% of all American adults have some form of varicose veins. Women, however, are more affected by 50%. By the mid 50’s, 41% of women suffer from spider or varicose veins. Varicose veins appear when blood collects in a vein instead of being pumped back to the heart. Any vein may become varicose, but the veins most commonly affected are those in the legs and feet. That’s because standing and walking increase the pressure in the veins in your lower body. Varicose veins develop in people who stand or sit for long periods of time. Lack of exercise, pregnancy, being overweight, prolonged constipation, and sitting with legs crossed can compound the problem. If varicose veins are not treated properly complications such as swelling, restlessness, leg sores, itching, leg cramps, feeling of heaviness in the legs and fatigue can occur. Surgical treatment is available but it’s always healthier and less expensive to prevent, rather than treat most health problems. Prevention for varicose veins initially begins with the wearing of support hosiery. But a healthy diet and lifestyle can do wonders to avoid the occurrence of varicose veins. Eat a balanced diet low in fat and carbohydrates and include lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Take vitamin C. Vitamin C helps strengthen blood vessel walls. Keep the diet high in fiber to prevent constipation. Avoid sugar, fried foods, junk foods, tobacco, salt, alcohol, processed and refined foods. Exercise daily to maintain a healthy weight. Walking, swimming and bicycling all promote good circulation. Do not wear tight clothes which restrict blood flow. At least once a day sit with the legs above the heart level for 20 minutes to relieve symptoms. Avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. Avoid crossing the legs when sitting. Avoid heavy lifting and putting any unecessary pressure on the legs. Herbs, such as red clover and horse chestnut, are especially helpful in maintaining healthy strong veins.

Crohn’s? IBS? Colitis - Acid Reflux - Try Holistic Medicine

By John Wardle Do you have gastrointestinal problems such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Colitis, Crohns Disease, Acid Reflux Disease, among many others? Are you sick (literally) and tired of going from doctor to doctor only to be handed a prescription slip and pushed out the door? Do you enjoy the many side effects these prescriptions cause? Are you looking for a solution to the problem instead of covering it up with drugs, or removing it with surgery? Then try holistic medicine. I am very happy to see our nation slowly catching on to the idea that natural medicine is the better way to go. It angers me however that insurance companies (who we pay premiums to) do not give us the choice to choose what path we want to take to heal ourselves. Holistic medicine is not cheap because there are very few insurance companies that cover your office visits, and none that I am aware that assists with nutritional supplements used by holistic doctors. Now dont get me wrong, modern medicine has its place in this world, and heaven knows all the good it has done for mankind, but there is a limit to how far it should go in the treatment of health conditions. Modern medicine knows next to nothing about the digestive system and how to fix it when it is in duress. Just ask any person suffering from any of the conditions listed above. The old saying of you dont have anything if you dont have your health is a very true statement. I suffered with Crohns Disease for 5 years before I started going to a holistic doctor. I went through 2 colonoscopies, and visited 3 different gastroenterologists. The first doctor performed my first colonoscopy, and found a mass of tissue close to my ileocecal valve. The tissue biopsy that he took came back negative for cancer (thank the Lord), but they could not tell what the tissue was. He referred me to another gastroenterologist who on my first visit, told me flat out that all he wanted to do was cut me open and remove the mass so he could try to figure out what it was. Needless to say my wife and I left his office never to return! Only later did we find out that he was a surgical gastroenterologist, so thats all he knew how to do was cut people open and remove their insides (comforting I know). The third doctor I visited was a medical gastroenterologist. He also wanted to perform a colonoscopy, and found more tissue masses etc. When I asked him what caused my condition, he said that medical science does not know what causes these kinds of conditions, but knows how to control them somewhat. He wrote me a prescription for a steroid medication, and sent me out the door. Thus began my crusade to figure out what was going on with my body and why. I never did take any of that steroid medication that last doctor prescribed me, because I had enough sense to get online and start researching what it was he was wanting me to take and what it did. The drug is an immune suppressant. You see people with digestive problems often times have an over active immune system, thus triggering inflammation throughout the digestive system. The steroid suppresses the immune function to reduce inflammation. It does nothing to get rid of what is causing the inflammation, just masking the effects. To fully understand how the body gets afflicted with these digestive problems you need to understand how the digestive system works in conjunction with the rest of your body. The digestive tract has been called the bodys second brain because there are more nerve endings in the digestive tract than the brain itself. Think about what the digestive system does for you.it is the extracts of all vitamins, minerals, and other materials your body needs to function from the foods you eat. Without it were dead! New research indicates that most diseases of the body are a result of a failure somewhere in the digestive system. So if you are afflicted with a serious digestive problem, and you take a drug that masks the problem instead of fixing (and has the potential of serious side effects which include may other diseases), sure you symptoms may subside for a while, but in the meantime your condition will worsen or spread! Finally I decided to go to a holistic doctor. It was the smartest thing I have ever done for my health! My doctor knew more on how the body works, and all the organic compounds it uses and more specifically what organs used them, than any medical doctor I have ever been to! I was on my way to recovery after my first visit. I had a plan on how to recover my health. It wasnt a prescription for some drug that he gets kickbacks from the drug companies for prescribing, it was a professionally planned regiment of natural compounds that would kill parasitic infections, reduce my inflammation, assist in digestion of foods, and nourish my body with the critical vitamins and minerals I was seriously lacking. Yes it took me well over a year to get myself back to normal. You have to take into account the fact that I had been living with several parasites in my digestive system for several years to get to the point I was at, so there is no way I would heal overnight. You know its funny how over the years all my doctors told me that I had IBS, and that I needed to eat more fiber. If only I had known about holistic medicine back then! Sure holistic medicine is expensive, but can you truly put a price on your health and well being? I sure cant, it has been worth every penny. Do your research! No matter where you go and what you do, there is always going to be someone with a horror story about a holistic doctor, or even a modern medicine MD. Its just unavoidable, people make mistakes every day. All I can say is this: do your research! Find a holistic doctor that is highly recommended, Answer any of their questions with total honesty, stick to the regiments they give you (to the T) and always be a well informed patient! If the doctor you go to makes you uncomfortable, dont go back! Find someone you are comfortable with. Trust your instincts! Your reading this arent you? Your instincts have brought you this far, searching for answers a medical doctor could not give you. Keep going! Keep digging! You deserve to feel normal again!

By Glenn Ebersole In the world we know today, business is becoming more and more competitive. And, small business is the fastest-growing segment of business in most parts of the world. The competitors we face are no longer just the businesses in our own community. The competition now comes from businesses in other communities, in other states, countries and possibly from somewhere halfway around the world.

The Art Of Perfume Notes - What Are They?

By Cody Kahl When people hear the word notes they often say yeah those are the things that make up a song. Sure this is true, but did you know that notes are also used to describe the various scents of a fragrance? Most people arent even aware that there is more than one aroma involved in perfume or mens cologne. In this article we will take an in depth look at what levels of notes occur in a fragrance, as well as what is involved in each level. As I mentioned above, there are actually different scents within a bottle of perfume. Thats right, when you purchase your dream bottle of cologne at the local store, it isnt going to always smell the same. When you wear it, the scent will actually change throughout the day. Evaporation causes different notes to come out during this period. So what exactly are these notes? Lets take a look. Top Notes This is the first scent you smell when sniffing a particular fragrance. Because this is the first scent a person smells, the manufacturer knows that the top notes are very important for a good first impression. The top notes are usually described as fresh or strong. These notes generally last a matter of minutes (10-30) due to them evaporating quickly. Middle Notes Also sometimes referred to as heart notes, these scents are generally much less dramatic than top notes. Middle notes last longer than top notes and usually appear 10-45 minutes after applying the perfume. Base Notes This is the finale of every good cologne. The ingredients used here hold everything together. Musk is a common ingredient that is used as a base note. Now that you are in the know, next time you go to buy that special cologne, you may be able to give the clueless sales representative a crash course in fragrance study! *************************************************** Cody Kahl is creator and writer of Mens Cologne Guide A site dedicated to providing only the best mens cologne information.

Read This Article if You Are Afraid of Holiday Belly Bulge

By Lance Winslow Every American knows that if we indulge in Holiday Food during Thanks Giving thru New Years that we tend to gain a few pounds and this could mean a few extra inches on our waistlines. Unsightly Holliday Belly Bulge is a common problem of the holiday season, as is complete and utter diet failure. And the use of the word utter is no accident, neither is a successful diet. If you want to remain slim and trim you need to go on your diet now and to make it stick this time you need to tie it into an exercise program. You can remain thin once you get back to your lean and mean self, but you are probably not going to get their by diet alone, you must incorporate some exercise, whether it is swimming, biking, walking or jogging. You are going to have to make the time. You must start today, because so often those New Years Resolutions are so easily broken. If you are one who keeps your new years promises, then save it for something really good and start your exercise program today. The best way to start exercising is to start biking or walking and the best way to do that is to start today. Get yourself a really good pair of shoes so you do not hurt your knees or feet and then commit to one to two miles per day for 10-days and then check it, how do you look? Good right? Now add in one or two miles more and do that for 10-days, next try to add a few more miles to your walking as time permits. Then after two months try to jog some or all of it. You will notice you get your workout done sooner and you can either save the time or increase the distance to equal out the time you are allotting. Think on this; think of the new thinner you. “Lance Winslow” - Online Think Tank forum board.
