21 days to a more natural home series…part 17…15 dirtiest things you touch everyday

all natural home seriesOk since our series has been on the all natural cleaning, I figured germs and cleaning go hand in hand.  We should take into account areas that we touch almost everyday that are full of germs.  Some of these are pretty obvious like the toilet, money, light switches, and shopping carts,  but others we might not think much of.  Things we can be aware of and be sure to “clean” daily or apply hand sanitizer as needed.

  1. cell phones
  2. computer keyboards
  3. checkout credit/debit card reader at supermarket
  4. the remote
  5. kitchen sponges
  6. the shifter knob in your vehicle
  7. refrigerator door handle
  8. restaurant menus
  9. adding lemon to your water in restaurants–do you think the waitress has washed her hands???
  10. bathroom soap dispenser
  11. purses–think of all the areas you set your purse on
  12. buttons on atm machines, elevators
  13. condiment containers
  14. gas pumps
  15. the roller brush on your vacuum cleaner–if you vacuum up an area that is contaminated then you continue rolling it all over your floors.  Spray the roller bar down at least once a week or more as needed.

The most stolen book…………really????

While listening to our local christian radio station the other day, I was shocked at what I had heard.  They were talking about the most stolen items in America.  The usuals were on the list, designer clothing, electronics, baby formula, basically things they could re sell on the black market.

 

Then they said the most stolen book was…………….get this……..the Bible.  Funny thing is I think that if you would seek it out any christian group or person would probably be very happy to get you your own for free.  Most ministry’s have the ability to get a bible for someone who needs one.

 I had to wonder what would be the reasoning as to why that is so?  A quick google search confirmed some theories.

  • The Bible continues to be the most printed book ever in history, its bound to be high on any list because of sheer volume.
  • People steal it for the thrill of it…”Look at me, I stole a book that says do not steal!”….people are so easily amused
  • Maybe people who are opposed to it are seeking to keep it out of others hands.  Yah good luck with that one.
