FOOD FOR THOUGHT
When people come up to you after the meeting with tears in their eyes, you know that was a meeting that we wished everyone could have attended. Sarah and I have had more Emails, texts, and phone calls from one of our Super Saturday meeting than anything we have ever done. We can’t thank the helpers, speakers, and partners enough for what you did. We were all inspired and touched.
What is your back up plan? Why do we back up our computers? What is your plan if your job or business disappears? I really never had a back-up plan. I thought like most of us that my business will be fine the rest of my life or my job will always be there. I believe most people depend on the good old government for their back-up….

Quick-read this article:
The book of Exodus in the Bible records that when the Israelites camped at a place called Marah, in the wilderness of Shur, they could not drink the water there because it tasted bitter. Then God showed Moses a tree, which when cast into the waters, turned the water sweet and drinkable.
Are there really trees that can purify water quickly in this way? One tree being used to purify water today is Moringa oleifera. This tree has been used successfully to cleanse turbid waters from the River Nile and other areas. Could this be the one referred to in the Bible?
After Moses led the Israelites through the miraculous Red Sea crossing, described in the Bible’s book of Exodus (15:25), they went into the wilderness of Shur — in the north-west of the Sinai Peninsula.
The Israelites travelled for three days without finding water. When they finally came to a place with water, which they named Marah, they decided to camp there.
But they found they could not drink from the waters at Marah because the taste was too bitter. They complained to Moses, who asked God what they could drink.
Then God showed Moses a tree, “which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet”.
What was this tree? Are there really trees that can turn bad water into clean drinking water — trees that will purify water quickly to make it drinkable?
Moringa oleifera
One of the most remarkably useful trees is one being cultivated heavily for use in the Sudan. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations said that village women had successfully used the tree Moringa oleifera (pictured above) to cleanse the highly turbid water of the River Nile. After trying other moringa species in Egypt, Namibia, Somalia, and Kenya, they too have shown properties that clarify water quickly.
When moringa seeds are crushed and poured into a pot or bottle of dirty water, the water turns transparent within seconds. The seeds’ anti-bacterial properties can turn low, medium, and high turbidity waters into tap-water quality in an hour or two.
Studies on the effectiveness of moringa seeds for treating water have been done since the 1970s, and have consistently shown that moringa is especially effective in removing suspended particles from water with medium to high levels of turbidity (muddiness or dirtiness).
In water with high turbidity, a litre of water needs only one of the horseradish-smelling seeds for effective treatment. In low turbity, one seed may do 4 litres. When the water is boiled, this increases its nutritional effectiveness by making inactive a nutrition-inhibiting protein (lectin).
Widely cultivated
The moringa tree today seems to be native only to the southern foothills of the Himalayas, but it has been grown wonderfully elsewhere in dry, sandy soil, and it tolerates poor soil. It can grow to a height of about 10 metres.
Apart from Africa, moringa trees are being cultivated in India, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and elsewhere. We are now growing a few Moringa trees around our Creation Tips office in Australia, as we are situated in a semi-rural area and rely mostly on tank water.

Almost every part of Moringa oleifera is useful. The leaves are inexpensive and are used in soups, and with meat, chicken and vegetable dishes. The leaves are somewhat like spinach in both looks and nutritional value. Fresh leaves have 4 times the calcium of milk, 7 times the vitamin C in oranges, and 4 times the vitamin A in carrots. They are used in tea, soup, and porridge.
Moringa’s bark, roots, fruit, flowers, leaves, seeds (photo at right) and gum are used as an antiseptic and in medicines to treat rheumatism, bites and other ailments. The seed pod has been used to desalinate sea water.
The bark and roots are used as a spice and in soap; seed oil is used in cooking, machine lubrication, and cosmetics; the wood is used for fences and firewood. The flowers are also used in religious festivals, churches, and to decorate houses. Powdered moringa is used in cakes, fish feed, and cattle feed.
The Marah tree?
We cannot be dogmatic in saying that the moringa was the tree the Israelites used to purify the waters of Marah. The Bible does not give us enough information about either the tree or the water. (Marah means “bitterness” by the way, which is why they named that place Marah).
It is also not certain whether the miracle was in God’s revealing to Moses the type of tree that would solve the problem, or in God’s producing a one-off miracle using a tree at the campsite. But the wording that says “the Lord shewed him [Moses] a tree” seems to be saying the solution was in the tree.
In any case, we do know that the moringa has remarkable properties — especially for rapidly purifying undrinkable water. So if we want to know, “Is there a tree that can quickly purify undrinkable water?”, the answer is clearly Yes. “Can the tree grow in that area?” Again the answer seems to be Yes.

UNCLE SAM WILL PAY YOU TO RUN A HOME BASED BUSINESS.
I have been in business since age 10. I recently realized that most people have no idea that every single day they are throwing away about $20 in overpaid taxes. Taxes could be bleeding you to death. You can control the bleeding NOW, by starting a home-base business NOW.
I have found this web site to be one of the most helpful. www.HomeBusinessTaxSavings.com
I strongly recommend you check this out. This single strategy could more than double your business and give your new distributors a greater incentive to order larger builder kits.

SOMETHING BIG CAN HAPPEN…
When there is a big event and everyone works hard to get people to attend,
guess what? Business grows…hummm wonder what would happen if
you prepared for an event once a month, once a week…Where would
your business be in a year? Do you get lulled to a dazed state by all the
activities that are available to do? Many of those activities, while mildly
entertaining, don’t help you read your goals. We can sit on the couch and
stare at the TV for a few hours each night or we can work on our business.
The least we could do is work on our own self improvement. If you are
new or newer to the Zija business it is easy to get side tracked because you
have not made Zija an important part of your life. Maybe you haven’t set a
goal because you are (Read more – click image for the PDF)
