MORE ART THAN SCIENCE

As promised, I've temporarily suspended publishing personal testimonies in this slot to include a few excerpts from the amazing book that started it all, "Lessons From the Miracle Doctors," by Jon Barron.
"Another way herbs differ from drugs. At its best . . . herbal medicine makes use of herbal formulations as opposed to single herbs. As in: You're anxious, take Kava; you have a cold, take Echinacea. That's right out of traditional medicine . . . turning herbs into drugs . . . the least effective way to use herbs.
"Herbal formulas, on the other hand, not only address particular symptoms, they also support the body as a whole. In addition, the make use of the synergistic effect inherent in many herbs. For example, many of the more powerful herbal formulations incorporate:
"Cayenne, not just because of its remarkable healing properties, but because cayenne is a potentiotor for many other herbs, helping to emergize them, to stimulate them, to "drive" them into the body.
"Lobelia, on the other hand, is a potentiator for "neve rebuilding" herbs, both stimulating ones such as Ginkgo and soothing ones such as St. John's Wort.
"But only your more experienced herbalists are aware of thse synergies—and will know the proper proportions to use . . . more art than science . . . Johnny-Come-Latelies . . . are not going to have anything close to this level of expertise. Does than mean their products are useless? Not at all. But we're talking about the difference between Little League and Major League Baseball here. The great herbalists don't just cure colds; they cure cancer!"

HELP YOUR 'ELF!

Okay, dear readers. The time has come when I need your help. And I REALLY need to hear from as many of you as possible. I'd like to improve this publication, and I need you to tell me what you do and do not like/enjoy/read in it. Many thanks for your precious time.
First, I've been told by an "expert" to make my ezine only a third of its present size. What do YOU think?
The other thing this "expert" said to do was to put a different catchy subject line in each time instead of just 'elf Expressions Ezine. He said people read his more when he went to doing that instead of just putting in the name of his publication. What do YOU think?

A BIBLE RIDDLE

Who was Moses' mother, and what piece of Scriptural support do you have?
ANSWER: Jochebed—as found in Exodus 6:20 AND Numbers 26:59.

"I believe with all my heart that standing up for America means standing up for the God who has so blessed our land. We need God's help to guide our nation through stormy seas. But we can't expect Him to protect America in a crisis if we just leave Him over on the shelf in our day-to-day living."
—Ronald Reagan

TODAY'S CHUCKLE

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods. Folks, I try not to publish any chuckle that hasn't caused me to laugh out loud. This one certainly is no exception—especially the last entry!
On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).
On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special)?
On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how??? . . . )
On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion).
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (well . . . duh, a bit late, huh!)
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating." ( . . . and you thought???? . . . )
On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time?)
On Boot's Children Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)
On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and . . . I'm taking this because??? . . . )
On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to . . . what?)
On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)
On Sunsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash)
On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh . . . fly Delta?)
On a child's Superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)
On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." ( . . . was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

There are so many things that we wish we had done yesterday,
so few that we feel like doing today.
—Mignon McLaughlin

Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly,
while bad people will find a way around the laws.
—Plato (427-347 B.C.)

INTERNET HINTS & TIPS

BOUNCE SPAM MAIL

Fool the spammers!
Send a fake bounce message back to them, making their targeted mailing list manager think your address is invalid.
Works in a lot of cases where you can't get to the real sender of the message for removal options.

7 TIPS TO HAVE MORE TIME
by Barbara Myers

1—Reduce distractions so you can focus on your priorities. Turn off the TV. Arrange for quiet time at the office.
2—Make a list of your priorities. Do tasks and activities relating to those first.
3—Get rid of excess stuff. Material possessions cost time and money.
4—Organize your home, office, and wardrobe. Stop wasting time looking for things.
5—Streamline everyday tasks. Find quicker ways to cook, clean, and perform routine office duties.
6—Delegate as much as possible to family members and co-workers. Consider hiring or bartering.
7—Write a daily to-do list. Prioritize it. Planning ultimately saves time.

INSPIRATION

SUN, MOON, EARTH

The moon is a picture of the Christian, and the sun is a picture of the Son. For the moon does not reflect its own light but the light of the sun. The Christian has no light of his own but reflects the light of the Son. The moon is between the sun and the earth and at times there is an eclipse and it appears as if you cannot see the sun. However, it is there. The Christian is between the Son and the world but at times the world gets in our way and we cannot see the Son. But He is always there for us.
Job 25:5: Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
When did science "discover" that the moon did not shine? Over 2,300 years after Job was written. For years it was taught the moon shone. However, God stated the moon does not shine.
