I know...you were expecting maybe a truck blog? Well....the truck just still is not happening! First Craig got sick and that left his friend working alone. And since his friend was working alone and removing all the nuts and bolts and parts, Craig felt overwhelmed when he improved enough to step back in. So without his friend there Craig was at a standstill. Then his friend got sick. That put it on hold another week. But I did hear it run the day before yesterday!!! It has one leak that they need to find and fix then install the muffler. They also keep saying 'tomorrow'. I am not holding my breath. At least in the meantime the weather has cooperated with Craig taking his motorcycle! So, hopefully soon...very soon...there will be a truck blog!
But I did want to share my experience with the essential oils I use on a regular basis. And today's oil is Frankincense. I first bought the oils to try to shrink my fibroids. Frankincense was one of the top three for that purpose. I did begin experiencing more fibroid pain while using these oils in a vaginal suppository. But, the pain went away if I rubbed Frankincense on my lower abdomen! So, my naturopath switched me to the bio-identical progesterone supplements and for pain I would rub on the Frankincense. I have spent the last 4 or 5 years with horrible fibroid pain. Doubling me over and making walking difficult fibroid pain. And the Frankincense took that pain away within minutes of rubbing it on! And now it has been about 5 months since I have had fibroid pain thanks to the progesterone! So...I thought about other pains I was having. I know my pastors wife uses it on her back and shoulders with much success. But my main pain area is my feet. I have neuropathy and though the amazing supplements I found and take have worked a miracle I will still get little shooting or throbbing pains now and then. Especially if I forget to take a days worth of pills or eat particularly bad. A few weeks ago I started rubbing a couple drops of Frankincense on the bottoms of my feet and within minutes the pain is gone and I can rest and fall asleep.
I watched a youtube video by a doctor who recommends rubbing it on your chest before leaving the house during cold and flu season. As soon as I watched that I rubbed it on Liam and myself. But by then Craig was already sick and I know the germ was already in us. But Liam and I did not get near as sick as Craig did. So I wonder if that and a couple other oils we used might have played a part in that. The youtube video also said that Frankincense is the cancer oil. Rub it on cancer and it will kill it. I e-mailed the video to a friend who has cancer on her nose but she never responded. I need to follow up on that. I would love to be able to see that work for her! Frankincense is also said to reduce the appearance of age spots. I don't have any yet that I know of so I can't give that a try. But its pain relieving abilities is enough for me! That youtube doctors last name is Axe. I believe Dr. Josh Axe. He had a lot to say about Frankincense.
Though I have ordered oils from DoTerra I found that going through Amazon Prime is roughly the same price and I don't have to remember passwords and id's. A 15ml bottle is $74. It seems very expensive but when you consider that you use only a couple drops it is not bad. 15ml will go a long way!
Now on to a different subject and one that bothers me so much.....commercials are getting so smutty. Liam can't watch anything on tv without a commercial for Carl's Jr coming on. Amazing how they have managed to turn eating a hamburger into a sexual act and amazing how it is allowed on tv! I remember when bras were worn on the outside of long sleeved turtle necked shirts in commercials. It seems every day they are pushing the envelope a little more. But two days ago I saw a commercial that takes the cake! And I was so appalled!

Do you know you can buy this now! They made it sound like it could be purchased right over the counter! You can abort your baby right in the comfort of your own home! I have heard of this but to actually see it advertised on tv! What have we become?! Human life is so valueless to us that now one little white pill can end it! There is something so very wrong in our nation. But then the man that was 'voted' into the White House considers babies a mistake. Babies that could potentially be his grandchildren! Of course he was talking about if his girls got pregnant as teens....outside of marriage....he was talking about that...right??? Who knows. But I want to go on record as saying that a teen girl...or any woman who has sex outside of marriage is making a mistake. But if a tiny, precious, innocent baby comes of that....he or she is NOT a mistake. He or she is a life. A life preordained by the God of the universe! A life that will be knit together in its mothers womb just like you and I were! A life that has every right to be born! God said he will vomit from the land a people who sheds innocent blood! America is on a very slippery slope! We are creeping closer and closer to the edge of the cesspool. And Plan B is just another example. Can you imagine what kind of world this would be if we treasured life? If we looked at babies the way the Duggars and Bates look at babies? A world where every life was valuable! I can't even imagine because it is so far removed from what I am living in today. I am raising a little man whose mother could have chosen the worlds Plan B. But instead she chose, can I say God's, Plan B? What she did was a mistake. But what came from that is a precious life in God's eyes. No mistake!
I will leave you with a Liamism: This was pretty priceless! A couple days ago Craig and I were sitting in the family room watching a program after Liam had gone up to bed. We hear him call down to us. But what we heard was Badlapfladablamefilemeda. You get the picture right? So Craig calls up "what did you say'. Badlapfladablamefilemeda! He calls back down. Craig looks at me then calls back "badlapfladablamefilemeda!' After a second or two pause Liam calls down "Oh...Okay". I laugh again now as I type it. It was hilarious! Life with Liam is hilarious!
