I wrote this article in May 2015. Obviously, more details about Josh Duggar have come out since then. I re-read the article I wrote, and I am thankful that I leaned in heavily to the Bible, because the Bible, the Word of God, will not ever change.

It seems your beef is not with me, it’s with the Bible. My guess is you want me to blast Josh Duggar for child molestation, somehow ranking sin (where sin is defined as missing the mark) and saying he is the worst, or near the worst.

Paul said he was the worst sinner of all! I can identify with Paul’s statement:
“‘Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.’ This saying is true, and it can be trusted. I was the worst sinner of all!” 1 Timothy 1:15 CEV and his sentiment in Romans 7 “wretched man that I am”!

It’s beyond my paygrade to rank sin. I can only preach (your word, not mine), what the Word of God says. And yes, I would say that all have sinned – that is not been perfect according to God’s standards.

So how will YOU respond with that information? Do you think otherwise, that there is more perfection in the world – for example, a person who has never lied – than I realize?

But since you didn’t say it, I will, he molested children, 3 of them were his SISTERS. And you over here talking about “All have sinned” that’s why no one takes Christianity serious.

And now look what happens, years later. He’s going to prison for watching Child pornography. The courts said that he watched videos of a 3 month year old baby being assaulted. And you over here talking about “All have sinned”. Say what you want about Tim Haggard but he was a grown man engaging in consensual sex with another adult.

Josh Duggar molest his 5 year old sisters, you preach your “forgiveness, all have sinned”. He doesn’t get any counseling, and now look at him, providing demand for one of the most disgusting acts in all of humanity.

And I love it even more that you didn’t post a follow up, because you c

Kyle, thanks for reading it and for your warm feedback. I’m excited to see God moving in your heart in similar ways. If you’d ever want to guest post or share a post with what you’ve learned, I think that’d be really cool. 🙂

Looks like they are different parts of the same plant, but that doesn’t seem too conclusive. Perhaps they are different names for the same herb. https://www.livestrong.com/article/458817-nettle-root-versus-stinging-nettle/
Blessings!

Oh friend! I would not worry. I would recommend discontinuing use of that particular remedy for now, but your baby won’t be affected by that small amount of wintergreen additive. The first 10 weeks of pregnancy are the most important weeks to protect, as the baby’s vital organs are developing. At 19 weeks the baby is much stronger. (But do continue to protect him/her!) I hope you are feeling better already, and I hope that your pregnancy is smooth and filled with joy and rest and anticipation 🙂 Have a great Monday!

Also, just FYI, essential oils are not homeopathic medicine. Homeopathy is a completely different genre of natural medicine prescribed using the law of similars, or “like cures like”.
Ie, A great excess of arnica can cause bruising and muscle pain, but when properly diluted into a homeopathic medicine, arnica will cure such similar symptoms.
They may both be natural, but they are not both homeopathic.

Christina, sorry for the delay! My EO textbook, “Modern Essentials”, did not state much of anything regarding Eucalyptus and breastfeeding. I would not worry about one dose, I would worry more about consistent or daily use. Thanks for asking! Hope you and your little one are very well today 🙂
