Bottled water

Today I watched multiple videos comparing bottled water to tap water. ( Links will be at the bottom) Bottled water advertises that their water is better, safer, and tastes better. They did a test comparing bottled water and tap water. They had cups with water in it and told people to taste it and give it a rating of bad, OK, Good, & Great. Most people said before that they disliked tap water and that bottled water was better, but when they drank it they said that the tap was better. Scientists compared the difference between tap water and bottled water, the water was identical, not similar, but identical. Most bottled water is just repruified tap water. Tap water is great for us and it is virtually free. Bottled water is not safer that tap, it is expensive, tap water is better or equal in every way.


Here are the links for the water videos.

Charity Water

How would your life be different if you were born in a developing country in Africa? This is a difficult question. it is always easy to say that i could do ok in a different environment but after you get there you realize that is is harder than you thought.
What is your responsibility as a Christian to people who happened to be born in an undeveloped area of the world and who don't have access to basic necessities of life? We can donate money to missions, or we can even go to be missionaries our selfs.

What are the symbols of spiritual freedom related to water? What is our role as Christians in providing for the world's needs?

             In John 4:10,13,14 Jesus told the woman at the well that He had "living water." He says that who ever drinks of His water will "never thirst again." In Revelation 21:6 it says "I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts." And in Revelation 22:1 it says "And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb." In Desire of Ages pg. 187, E.G. White says, "He in whom Christ dwells has which in himself the fountain of blessings." So water represents blessings or a "fountain of blessings." Our job as Christians is to spread the "water of life" to everyone.

What I learned about DHMO

DHMO is an abbreviation of Dihydrogen Monoxide. My class went to the DHMO.org website this morning and I really didn't know what to expect about it, I had no knowledge of DHMO. After we did some research on it we learned that it can cause many problems, a large amount of them that lead to death. We had a discussion after & people said that "it should banned" & "done away with". It seemed like it was a terrible thing. But then our teacher brought up that water is found in almost every bad thing imaginable. Tumors, cancer, & even nuclear weapons. So at this point I don't really know of it is necessarily good or bad or even what it is exactly. I expect to learn more in class, & will probably add it to this blog.
I also learned how to research different things on the internet. I learned multiple ways to test & see if a site's information is true or not. There are so many false sites out there it is important to know how to check if it is true.

Freedom Of Water

       Water is the one of the main substances that keep all living organisms alive. Everyone needs water, & some of us take it for granted. You wake up & get a drink of water. You think nothing of it. You play out side, you get tiered, you get some water without a second thought. But there are places where some people, children, wake up and are lucky if they get a drink of water before lunch. Water is precious. Whether we realize it or not. 

       Of all the water in the world, 2.5% of it is fresh water. Of that 2.5%, 68.9% is frozen in glaciers, 30.8% is under ground water, & only 0.3% is available. So pretty much, only 0.3% of the worlds water is available for drinking.

       Let's look at it differently. Your body is made up of about 50 to 60% water. So half of your body is water, would you say that it is important? Your blood is made up of 83% water. With out water your wold be a sac of bones and dried tissue. Water is important,don't take it for granted.
