If truth is marching...

Where are the Grapes of wrath stored?

Curses undone by the grace of God...

On pacifiers and the pancreas?

Could it be that too much sucking on the pacifier is actually dangerous?  Swallowing saliva all day might have some ramifications, I only imagine.   Gum chewing and pacifier sucking are quite similar in their effects I think.  We don't get to the root of the problem of anxiety in the child's experience.  Lots of saliva and lots of anxiety are the fruit of childcare hopping.  We are focusing on the need for childcare and the need of parents to work outside the home and not on the emotional and physical wellbeing of the child.  Who's health is being impacted.  Is childhood diabetes and other pancreatic disfunction related to this change in our culture.  It is amazing that we know who and how many individuals have had complications of he COVID and for years we haven't even seen the relationship between cultural changes namely mothers in the workforce so early and deaths from cancer and increases in diabetes and other ailments.  We must investigate the correlations and see if we can't rectify this and turn that curve around as well.
