Natural?

I am curious at how many of you are concerned with living a more natural life concerning personal health.
How important is this in your own life?

Other than spring water and non aluminum deoderant I can't sat I have given it alot of thought- what about you ? What insights do you have to share with us?

None of us can save this earth but my personal belief is that while we live on it, we can try to make it better for the sake of our health.
Especially, as a parent, I am aware of the human suffering due to chemicals and pollution.
After all, our body is the Lord's temple.
I may not be able to make a big difference but in my own home and life I do like to practice more natural habits.
I am using home made cleaners.
Am planting food without chemicals.
Avoiding fast foods as much as possible.
Paying attention to good and bad fats.
Attempting to spend more time in fresh air and sunshine.
Combine shopping trips to drive the car less.
Learning peace through God's natural invironment more than man's philosophies.

I'm still curious how many other Christians find peace in being more natural and close to the nature God created for us~

Violet - We have several outdoor prayer service venues. These are located in forested areas on secluded lakes in northern Michigan and Wisconsin as well as in locations in coastal Alabama and Florida.

In the southern locations, our Chapel floor is the sandy beach; our Chapel walls are the Royal Palm Trees and our roof is God's blue sky.

In the northern areas, our Chapel floor is the pine needles covering the ground and our Chapel walls and roof are the majestic 160 foot high White Pine trees that create our 'Cathedral of the Pines...'

God has given us all this place to live... it is our responsibility to act as His caretakers and property managers...

How much is a stone in pounds? I am not a eco nazi like some extremists but I still think it makes good sense to tak care of what God has given you- it would be nice to leave something beautiful to our great grandkids.
