A Soul That Clings To Dust
Kay Arthur at Precept.org has a very inspiring message in her June newsletter.
It is based on Psalm 119:25-40 and there is a download for a free lesson for these verses.
It is a wonderful focus on God's ways and and great message on where to direct our thoughts.
The author is under stress as he mentions that his soul clings to dust. He weeps
because of grief. He has taken some false ways and his eyes have looked at
things of vanity. This could relate to almost anyone.
To God he says;
Teach me Your statutes. Make me understand the way of Your Precepts so I will meditate
on Your wonders. Grant me Your law and give me understanding. Strengthen me according
to Your word. Enlarge my heart and guide me as I go the way of Your commandments.
Revive me in Your ways and through Your righteousness. Establish Your word to me as that
produces reverence.
What a difference it would make to keep a focus on God's word and His ways.

Sunscreen guide from EWG
The Enviromental Working Group's has reported on suncreen for 2010. The top rated ones all contain the minerals zinc and titanium but these are not considered to be hormone disruptors. None of the top rated ones contain oxybenzone or vitamin A and none are sprays or powders.
None of the none mineral varieties earned a top rating.
A few of their selections are:
UV Naturals
Soleo Organics
Purple Prarie Botanicals
California Baby
Badger
Check EWG.org for a full list and to check how your favorite brand fares.
Some of their facts about sunscreens are:
1. there is not evidence that sunscreens help prevent skin cancer. There is some evidence that they might actually increase the risk of melanoma - the most deadliest form of skin cancer. A form of vitamin A in sunscreen may speed the development of skin cancer.
2. There is no proof that a higher SPF does any better.
3. The body needs vitamin D and the natural way to get it is with direct sunlight. The American Medical Association recommends direct sun without sunscreen for 10 minutes several times a week. The dermatologists do not agree - they say there is not evidence for that.
I think moderation in the sun is best and definitely limiting the times between 10am and 3pm.
