BACK TO NATURE - 2

In high school Home Economics, we were all given a different subject to write a research paper on.  I was given “SHOES.”

To this day, I still do not care about fashion; I have apparel for the task at hand or where I’m going.  My choices are few.

I found articles dealing with healthy feet.  The healthiest feet belong to people in the jungle who go barefoot ALL THE TIME.

Walk through the grass barefoot - in touch with the chlorophyl, the moist soil.

Stroll barefoot through sand on the beach (not an oil spill).

Read your vitamin bottles - VITAL MINERALS.

We are composed of an earthly materiality… our bodies are largely a composition of water and earth.

This may sound a little crude, but the actual composition of a human being is about sixteen buckets of water and one bucketful of earth.

I am glad there is one bucketful of good mud in us.  Water… is a composition of gases, so you can see how much gas there is in mankind.  But we are not all gas. 

- John G. Lake - A Strong Man’s Gospel, page 23

No doubt, the teacher still wishes she had given “SHOES” to someone else.
