Lots of homework!

As you know I had lots of homework again so this will be another short blog. Last night as I was writing my blog my sister Miky was putting my hair in little braids and now my hair looks like someone crimped it, it's kinda cool. As we speak our neighbour is over at our house, know why well it's because an oil rig just moved in across the road ick! and our dogs were barking and then of course the neighbour's dogs decided that they wanted in on the action so there over here protecting our animals after checking everything out. So know there gone so I can go sorry if this was a boring post:)    

MSG

    Did you know that MSG is called an excitotoxin and it is addictive, and it kills brain cells!! After finding this out, I gave up everything that had MSG. I can't believe that it's still legal to put it in food! I think that it should be illegal. What do you think?

I am a Seventh Day Adventist

The first time I went to an SDA church, I was just interested in what one of my best friend's church was like. That day was November 7, 2009. Today, I am a growing Seventh Day Adventist! I didn't realize how much it was going to impact me, going to church with Mary Anne. I believe that God led me there that day, because, in his infinite wisdom, he knew what would take place.
That day, Darryl, who was at the pulpit this week, told us all heart-wrenching news. My neighbours, Rudy and Michelle, had gone to this church before they moved, actually Rudy had been pastor. We used to babysit their goats and I had talked to their daughter Laura some. Anyway, Darryl told us that they had been in a bad crash. He told us, tears running down his face, that Michelle was alright; Rudy and Johannes were critically injured, with broken bones, and were unconscious; and, he told us that Laura had died. Gasps raised all around me and I could barely contain my tears and sadness. Everyone around me was crying openly, or just looking at their feet. I couldn't even speak. Mary Anne and her friend Sunny talked to me, but I don't know what they were saying. Mary Anne suggested we all come together in the middle of the room and pray and talk, which we did. Everyone held each other, crying quietly and praying.

That was my first day at my new church. Thankfully later, someone called to tell us that there had been a mix up, and that everyone was okay, except Johannes had a broken leg or something.

I believe that I am so connected to my church and love being a Seventh Day Adventist, is because of what happened on my very first day there.

P.S.: Later I asked Mary Anne if they did that for every new person who came to church, and she assured me they did not. ;)

Horse Meat-My New Opinion

I have recently learned that, in the Bible, God told Moses and Aaron which animals were clean and unclean. He told them, Leviticus 11:2-3: "Tell the Israelites:' Of all the animals that live on land these are the ones you may eat: You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews its cud."
He also says that animals that only chew their cud or only have a split hoof, you shouldn't eat. So examples of unclean animals are animals such as, pigs, rats, dogs, bats, rabbits, and, of course, horses. So, now that I know, I now believe that eating horses is not okay, because if God says something, you listen.

PS: Some clean animals are goats, sheep, deer and cattle.
PPS: For more info on this subject read Leviticus 11 in a Bible. If you don't have one, you can probably get one out of the library.

Global Warming and Agriculture

Global warming and agriculture affect each other. On the one hand global warming increases CO2 in the air and nitrogen in the soil, increasing fertility. It also lengthens the growing season and allows us to plant crops up here that we haven't been able to grow before. It also could increase drought or rain, which would either kill the plants from lack of water, or from drowning. On the other hand, farming is one of the biggest CO2 and methane increasers. Agriculture produces 54% of methane emissions, 80% of nitrous oxide emissions, and almost all carbon dioxide emissions!
Deforestation for farmland also leaves more CO2 in the air than before, because you're taking down trees that filter out the CO2, and unless you use a handsaw or axe, the chainsaw or machine you use emits CO2. My opinion is that we farmers of the next generation should go back to some of the old ways to slow down global warming!

Eating Horse Meat

I believe that eating horse meat is okay. Don't get me wrong, I love horses, I have one named Ruby. The main few cultures who eat horse meat are France, Japan and Belgium. Canada is a cultural mosaic and has many people from these countries, who want horsemeat. Some people are extremely against eating horse, but it makes sense, because our culture has used these animals mainly as pets for so long. But there are 490 000 horses in Canada! I believe that as long as they are cared for properly and killed quickly and humanely, it should be okay. As long as it's done properly, it's okay.

Horse meat is very nutritious. It has less fat and calories and more calcium than beef, even lean beef. For more on the nutrition of horsemeat go to www.pferd-und-fleisch.de/Horsemeat/index.htm
