Can We Fix It

(Joe the Happy Preacher like to take examples from pop culture. There is no example he won't use. On the hit show, "Bob the Builder," there is a phrase often used. "Can we fix it?" Sometimes in our lives there are challenges that are so daunting, so overwhelming that it feels like it can't be fixed. Maybe you had a dream. You believe that God gave you this dream. Something went wrong. You got off track. Now you think that God won't forgive you, that things can't be fixed.

The Bible is all about fixing things. There are many stories of people's lives that seemed ruined. God salvaged their lives. Lot got sidetracked. He ended up in Sodom, the most wicked city. His children go caught up in the city. He may have wondered, could anything have fixed this. God rescued him from Sodom.

Peter was one of Jesus' disciples. He was part of Jesus' inner circle. Peter got sidetracked. He even denied that he knew Jesus. He wondered if his life could be fixed.

What I love about Bob the builder is that the answer is always, "yes, we can." God wants to fix whatever is broken in our lives. God wants us to get back on track. He wants us to have the dreams, the ones that he put in our lives, fulfilled. Everything can be fixed. Your dreams can be fulfilled. You just need to ask God to pick you up and restore all of the years the locusts have eaten. He can do that for you.

Maybe today, you never accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You can do that right now. Repeat after me. "I am a sinner, forgive me and save me. If you prayed that prayer, this will be a great new day for you. Can he fix it? Yes, he can."

How to Deal with Toe Fungus

You wake up and notice a black thing on your toe nail. At first you think that maybe you painted your nails in a drunken stupor. Then you remember that you do not drink anything stronger than Mountain Dew's Code Red. You begin to suspect something horrible. You have toe fungus. What do you do? You could have it treated surgically, but that is very painful and expensive. You wonder, what natural remedies are out there?

First you can try soaking your foot in coffee. You can start by brewing a pot of coffee in the coffee maker. I suggest you put as much coffee grounds as will fit in the coffee maker. Let the coffee sit all night. There several studies showing that fermented coffee has healing powers. The next morning, you'll pour the coffee into a bowl. You will stick your foot in the bowl. You will need to let it soak for eight hours. Do not take your foot out of the bowl until the eight hours is up. You may need to have a bed pan with you. You should start seeing results immediately.

Another remedy that has proven successful in treating toe fungus is a blend of parsley and human feces, preferably your own. You don't just want any feces, though. It should be runny, not not liquid feces from diarrhea. I suggest putting the mix in a blender. After it has been fully blended, you'll want to put it into a sock. You must wear it for sixteen hours. Tie a bag around the sock so that it doesn't leak.

Another remedy is amputation. The only sure way to ever stop an unwanted fungus is to cut it off. I recommend you drink a lot of alcohol while amputating. It is a drastic measure, but it may be necessary. If you are facing the possibility of cutting off more than three toes, you may desire to consult a physician.
