End of Creation - A Poem by Thomas Brogan



End of Creation
by: Thomas Brogan

There will come a day when we will all have to choose.
Some of us will win, some will lose.

The choice will be simple to decide our fate,
Will we choose to keep peace of succumb to the hate?

When the leaders come together and hear us speak,
Will they be happy, or slap us on the cheek?

There may be one final stand for human survival,
It will take on faithful person to lead the revival.

Will we overcome the power and the fear?
Can we beat the awesome odds and find a cure?

When the cities have finally fallen to the ground,
A mushroom cloud of destruction will be seen all around.

The Earth will be a dark and desolate place,
Only the true believers will be saved, as they seek His face.

Ginger - A Natural Cure for Motion Sickness



So this past weekend I took my daughter to Adventureland to ride some rides and to relive my childhood glory. One of my concerns was now that I’m older, spinning rides and I don’t get along too well. I definitely wasn’t going to take Dramamine, because the last time I took that on a Cruise Ship I was a tired walking zombie. So I decided to go a more natural route. I went with a Ginger Pill. I had read in my Natural Health Magazine* that if you take a 250mg pill at least 15 minutes before your activity you should be covered. Well the only ginger pills I had around were 550mg, so I figured the more the better.

So we got to the park and one of the first rides my daughter wanted to ride was the Teacups. If you aren’t familiar with these, it’s basically a large tea cup that spins and spins. So a good first test. The results…………. No issues at all! My daughter had a blast, I had a blast and no motion sickness or nausea. So the next time you are looking to avoid nausea from motion sickness, give Ginger a try.

*Tests conducted on the television shows Mythbusters and Food Detectives also support the theory that Ginger is an effective treatment for the nausea caused by motion sickness.
