Go Ask Jo: 8/25/2021

Dear Jo,

I am a Christian. I say this because I recently had a discussion with a family member about my love of crystals, rocks and minerals and their healing properties. Scientists have proven that everything gives off energy vibrations. The strength and frequency of those vibrations differ from object to object. There are some earth elements that give off vibrations (energy) far more frequently than others. Some people believe crystals, rocks and minerals have healing properties, some physical and some psychological. The discussion centered around whether or not believing in these properties meant you had less faith in God. What do you think?

Dear Muddled,

If your belief system is centered around God, then you believe He created all things. This would include crystals, rocks and minerals. I am not sure why anyone would discount your belief simply because you include these Earthly treasures in your expanded thinking for healing. Does that mean you cannot believe that penicillin will cure an infection? Thank goodness we no longer use stones to punish the “sinful,” we can use them to heal instead! I would suggest following your heart and your belief system. What others think is theirs to deal with. God didn’t create this incredible earth for nothing!

Signed, Jo

Dear Jo,

I am so frustrated with my husband. Here is the scenario. We are driving down the highway; I look over and he is traveling far above the speed limit. When I point out that we are in danger of getting a ticket, he tells me that the tires on the vehicle are not the original tire set. Therefore, the speedometer is wrong. Really?! This cannot be true, can it?
