Hurricanes and Your Health and Safety
ATTENTION IF YOU ARE NOT A MOM!!
I want to take just a minute to speak to you if you are a woman who has never raised or delivered a child of their own. You may face this constant barrage of Happy Mother’s Day commercials, greetings, cards and talk of presents and meals with some hurt. I am so very sorry!
I want you to know that you are not forgotten.
For those who have been trying to have children but are struggling with infertility, have lost babies, or have never thought children were an option for you, I want you to know that you are precious women of God and we love you. I know that sometimes it’s hard to sit through celebrations when our heart breaks, however, I know that God is going to give you a special blessing this day. I know this, because I have prayed for you and that God will give you a special measure of His love for Mother’s Day.
God Bless you!

We’ve all heard of the The 5-Second Rule: if food falls on the floor, pick it up within five seconds and you can eat it. Whatever germs are on the floor don’t have time to adhere to the food that quickly. Or do they? A recent national survey by Kelton Research found that nearly 60% of Americans admit to eating food that has fallen on the floor. Would they continue doing that if they knew a typical home carpet has up to 4,000 times more bacteria particles — even after vacuuming — than toilet seats? Here’s the total number of bacteria particles found on one-inch square samples of different household surfaces:
Why is the floor — the kitchen tile, the living room hardwood and the family room carpet — so dirty? Blame your shoes. Gerba found more than 400,000 units of bacteria inside and outside shoes, including the worst kind of all: E. coli. So does the 5-second rule work? No. Eat that cookie that falls on the floor, and you could also be ingesting a frosting of E. coli.
