It was a sunny hot summer day (August. 2006) when my Lord showered His bounty down upon me, only I wasn't tuned in at the time. Yes, I had been sharing with Him that I was opened to find a new "work opportunity", as my life-long entrepreneurial juices were stirring again. But frankly, the "work assignment" He had in mind really caught me off guard. In fact, after a little due-diligence, I quickly developed a thumbs-down mindset about His oferring, even before I sensed it was actually His gift for me. Sorry, I'm getting ahead of my story ...
Okay, so I'm with my friend Jim when he told me he recently got a call from his long-time friend Chet. Chet wanted Jim to research some water technology from Japan and get back to him with an opinion. Why Jim? Because when he knew Chet years before, Jim had a business installing water softener systems. That's why Jim knew quite a lot about water. But it was what Chet said that really got Jim's attention. Chet told Jim that this water technology was available as a household appliance and when hooked up directly to a kitchen faucet, it would ionized tap water into a healthy, filtered drinking alkaline water, loaded with anti-oxidants, and molecularly restructured for achieving maximum cellular absorption.
To fully appreciate why this got Jim's attention, you also need to know that in the late 1980's, Jim was slowly dying because his body was not harvesting enough nutrients from the foods he ate. He ate plenty, just was not doing him any good. After visiting with a few doctors, he learned that his body was severely suffering from a pH imbalance. So fortunately, following a few dietary changes and adopting a supplements program, Jim's health improved. At that time, being how Jim was a water expert, he found himself thinking wouldn't it be awesome if water could be effectively used to provide one's body with alkalinity and anti-oxidants. He even did some research at that time, seeing if something like that was in the marketplace, but turned up nothing. So a great idea went dormant, recorded deep into the recesses of his mind; that is, until that call from Chet!
Oh yeah, one more thing you need to know about Jim. Yes, he successfully survived his death threating physical condition. But unfortunately he was still living a sick-out life every day I knew him, suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic diarrhea, acid reflux & restless legs syndrome. Taking lots of pain meds every day. So he was definitely motivated to check out this ionized, restructured water technology from Japan.
Jim asked his wife Lois and myself to help him in his "discovery quest" by doing our own investigation before getting back with him. I told Jim I would, asking him to give me a week or so to get back with him .....
The Lord Giveth, The Lord Taketh Away, Blessed Be the Lord!
