White Teeth

I want white teeth! I thought of this while I drank some Diet Coke. I don't think Diet Coke helps you get white teeth. What does?

A lot of people in america have white teeth, I have noticed. I mean seriously white teeth. I can't help staring at their teeth. Like a pastor we met last week. He had shiny white teeth. I tried to look at his wife's teeth to see if she also had the pearly white teeth, but I couldn't get close to her face at the moment I was thinking about it.

So do you have to go to a dentist to get that white of teeth? Or is it just some dental strip? And why are people so in to white teeth? Is it just a fad? Do people notice that my teeth aren't white? Should I do something drastic, like give up dark beverages? Does milk make white teeth? These are my questions.

He got complimented on his teeth on our flight home from the stewardess. He says he doesn't do anything to them. But a lot of people do bleach their teeth - you can get the strips or have your dentist do a hardcore bleaching.

The strips do make a difference. I tried them for a week once. It was pretty amazing. You're supposed to go for longer but it's kind of tedious.

When I went to India I got really bad stains from drinking so much chai. I had whitened my teeth once before using Crest Whitestrips, and whitened them again as soon as I could after getting back. I know Sarah got really cheap professional whitening done in India though. And no, I never noticed your teeth weren't white. Some people's look too fake, anyways.

Redeemed

Psalm 49:7-8 “No man can by any means redeem his brother.  Or give to God a ransom for him.  For the redemption of his soul is costly.” It is an amazing thing when someone comes to faith in God.  Last night I got to witness my brother in-law give his life to Jesus.  His life was redeemed.  The ransom for his soul was paid by Jesus long ago, but yesterday he was set free. My brother in-law was in darkness.  He knows his life was full of darkness and demonic presence.  He has been hearing about Jesus for years and knew that if he ever decided to become a follower that he would do it completely, not half heartedly.  He finally saw that he needed Jesus.  So yesterday he prayed a beautiful prayer acknowledging his need to get rid of the darkness in his life and knowing he can’t do it on his own.  Jesus filled his life.  My brother in-law said he felt something leave.  It was the darkness.  Jesus has filled his life...

Black Magic

Yesterday, after aerobics, I was sitting around with the ladies drinking chai. Usha's husband has been sick for about a month now. She described him as being anxious and nervous all the time. So he just lays in bed when he is at home. So the ladies were discussing what was wrong with him. It was all in Hindi so I wasn't following completely. Then there was a word I didn't understand so I asked Hena what it meant. She told me, "Black Magic". Usha is a Hindu. She has offered sacrifices for her husband's illness. She has asked me to pray for him. She has asked others too. So I asked Usha if she would like a man to come pray for her husband. She told me that she had already prayed for him. I said, "In Jesus' name though." And she told me that she had prayed in all names. So I left it at that. Today I am thinking about it all again. So this morning, after aerobics again, I asked an English speaker to explain Black Magic more to me. S...

Hot town!

Of course you have heard me complain about the heat lately. This will be a regular thing for the next couple of months. I looked on CNN weather page to see just how hot it was and it said at midnight that it was "99 and dreary". So true. We are thankful for electricity and air conditioners. When I do aerobics I turn the a/c on and it makes it bearable. You would think that the fat would just melt off. The problem is that ice cream is so cold and refreshing. Then there are mango shakes. yum.
