PureWorks Products

I recieved a phone call this evening on my way home from work from my little sister whose car decided to stop working while she was in the middle of the road. So I hurried to her aid and in so doing I was able to successfully grease my whole hand.  As many know who have worked on cars before when you grease your hand up it becomes very hard for you to clean that grease off effectivly with out having to use the sand paper feeling soap. 

Well the thought came to me, “hey, I am going to try my PureWorks lotion as a soap and see if that helps to get the slim and grease off.” Much to my surprise I was able to clean my hands so well that there are miniscule signs of having even touched an engine block.  How amazed I was that with just one little pump of lotion I was able to clean off such grease. I have never run into anything like this.

The lotion and all the other products that PureWorks has have helped me to stay healthy and rid myself of unwanted germs and bacteria. They offer a product that is FDA compliant to help gaurd against infection and that is a first aid antiseptic. The great thing I love about the product is that it contains no alcohol.  What a plus this is to me who has very dry skin and that when any thing near alcohol touches my skin it begins to irritate the skin. 

PureWorks products have also been tested by an independant lab and has been found to kill many bacterium that is harmful to humans. There website www.buypureworks.com is a great place to go to learn more about this. Just look under the library page and look at the Independant Lab Results to see what I mean.

The product is great and it also will continue to protect you against harmful bacteria up to four hours of applying it to your hands. Now try and say that about any alcohol product out there. It will eliminate 99.9% of all harmful bacteria within 15 seconds of applying it and then continue to work for you as you come in contact with many objects that contain more bacteria. 

Just think about it. Think of all the door knobs, keyboards, railings you touch, hands you shake, drinking fountains, and anything else you come into contact with every minute of every day. Each and everyone of these things contains small microorganisms that will attach themselves to you hands and then find a way to enter your body. Wouldn’t you want something to protect you against these. Something that will put a protective glove on you hand and keep bacteria from invading. Another great benifit to using the PureWorks product is that as it is protecting you from the harmful bacteria it is also working on making your skin softer. You heard right it actually will moisturize your skin when you apply it. The lotion and the foam both will protect you and give you the comfort to know that you are protected as you come into contact with bacteria evey minute of every day of your life.

Please check it out. Try some and you will find for yourself that you love the product and will never go back to using alcohol. 

Lastly when you view the price do not be turned off by it. I know that it will seem high compared to your alternatives over at Walmart but rest assured that pump for pump the price is the same. That’s right I have done the math. Pump for pump alcohol and PureWorks is the same price. You get roughly 250 applications with the 2.5oz foam and over 500 applications with the 7oz foam.

You will not be disappointed. Please visit PureWorks and order yours today!

The Publicity Dilemma

The following was taken from http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/commentary/the-publicity-dilemma.

SALT LAKE CITY 9 March 2009 Like other large faith groups, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sometimes finds itself on the receiving end of attention from Hollywood or Broadway, television series or books, and the news media. Sometimes depictions of the Church and its people are quite accurate. Sometimes the images are false or play to stereotypes. Occasionally, they are in appallingly bad taste. As Catholics, Jews and Muslims have known for centuries, such attention is inevitable once an institution or faith group reaches a size or prominence sufficient to attract notice. Yet Latter-day Saints – sometimes known as Mormons – still wonder whether and how they should respond when news or entertainment media insensitively trivialize or misrepresent sacred beliefs or practices. Church members are about to face that question again. Before the first season of the HBO series Big Love aired more than two years ago, the show’s creators and HBO executives assured the Church that the series wouldn’t be about Mormons. However, Internet references to Big Love indicate that more and more Mormon themes are now being woven into the show and that the characters are often unsympathetic figures who come across as narrow and self-righteous. And according to TV Guide, it now seems the show’s writers are to depict what they understand to be sacred temple ceremonies. Certainly Church members are offended when their most sacred practices are misrepresented or presented without context or understanding. Last week some Church members began e-mail chains calling for cancellations of subscriptions to AOL, which, like HBO, is owned by Time Warner. Certainly such a boycott by hundreds of thousands of computer-savvy Latter-day Saints could have an economic impact on the company. Individual Latter-day Saints have the right to take such actions if they choose. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as an institution does not call for boycotts. Such a step would simply generate the kind of controversy that the media loves and in the end would increase audiences for the series. As Elder M. Russell Ballard and Elder Robert D. Hales of the Council of the Twelve Apostles have both said recently, when expressing themselves in the public arena, Latter-day Saints should conduct themselves with dignity and thoughtfulness. Not only is this the model that Jesus Christ taught and demonstrated in his own life, but it also reflects the reality of the strength and maturity of Church members today. As someone recently said, “This isn’t 1830, and there aren’t just six of us anymore.” In other words, with a global membership of thirteen and a half million there is no need to feel defensive when the Church is moving forward so rapidly. The Church’s strength is in its faithful members in 170-plus countries, and there is no evidence that extreme misrepresentations in the media that appeal only to a narrow audience have any long-term negative effect on the Church. Examples: * During the Mitt Romney election campaign for the presidency of the United States, commentator Lawrence O’Donnell hurled abuse at the Church in a television moment that became known among many Church members as “the O’Donnell rant.” Today, his statements are remembered only as a testament to intolerance and ignorance. They had no effect on the Church that can be measured. * When the comedy writers for South Park produced a gross portrayal of Church history, individual Church members no doubt felt uncomfortable. But once again it inflicted no perceptible or lasting damage to a church that is growing by at least a quarter of a million new members every year. * When an independent film company produced a grossly distorted version of the Mountain Meadows Massacre two years ago, the Church ignored it. Perhaps partly as a result of that refusal to engender the controversy that the producers hoped for, the movie flopped at the box office and lost millions. * In recent months, some gay activists have barraged the media with accusations about “hateful” attitudes of Latter-day Saints in supporting Proposition 8 in California, which maintained the traditional definition of marriage. They even organized a protest march around the Salt Lake Temple. Again, the Church has refused to be goaded into a Mormons versus gays battle and has simply stated its position in tones that are reasonable and respectful. Meanwhile, missionary work and Church members in California remain as robust and vibrant as ever, and support for the Church has come from many unexpected quarters — including some former critics and other churches. Now comes another series of Big Love, and despite earlier assurances from HBO it once again blurs the distinctions between The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the show’s fictional non-Mormon characters and their practices. Such things say much more about the insensitivities of writers, producers and TV executives than they say about Latter-day Saints. If the Church allowed critics and opponents to choose the ground on which its battles are fought, it would risk being distracted from the focus and mission it has pursued successfully for nearly 180 years. Instead, the Church itself will determine its own course as it continues to preach the restored gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world.

Humanity at its best

So I was just toying around on youtube today and stumbled across this video that is linked to an amazing foundation. Please watch the following video.

What an amazing foundation this is. Here is there direct mission statement, “The Playing For Change Foundation (PFCF) is dedicated to connecting the world through music by providing resources (including but not limited to facilities, supplies, and educational programs) to musicians and their communities around the world.”

I am very impressed that there are people out in the world today that want to give hope to others. Please visit their site to learn more. If only we could all go forward this way and create hope and faith for others though out the world.
