Head Coverings for Christian Women

       Recently I've found more information on Christian women's head coverings and wanted to share it with you. I have to mention that I am not currently covering . . not because I don't believe I need to as I know very well it's a necessity. I ran into problems with my head coverings and simply stopped wearing these. Not a good excuse. I have ideas for a better head covering (won't slip off so easily, cuter, not a copy of everyone else's . .). Finding this new (to me) information is (as He always is) Right on Time!!!
    So . . .
       Here are the related passages I've found:
     {Please share your thoughts}

Genesis 6:2 in my Old Scofield Reference Bible . .

       My "NIV Compact Dictionary of the Bible" explains the phrase 'sons of God' . . .

       1 Corinthians 11:10 from my "Companion Bible" . .
       this cool Bible offers some seriously in depth explanations of the verses. Note that, in speaking of Christian women's head coverings it refers to angels as the reason and sends us back to Genesis 6:2 where the angels were lusting after women . . the hair of the women is what attracted to angels  . . . 
       note that the angels 'took them wives' meaning the women were given no choice in this mating with fallen angels . . think rape . . 
       So the head covering is to protect us from fallen angels.
       Yes, I know this sounds a bit much and I understand your hesitation, but, upon studying the "Book of Enoch", a book eliminated from the Bible by man, not God, I have found there is much to learn.
       My suggestion to you ~> don't simply believe me. Look it all up for yourself. Use your best study Bible or head to Barnes and Noble or your local Christian bookstore and look this all up. Compare for yourself what these passages are saying. Find a solid pre-1611 Bible that includes the Apocrypha and begin reading all the books of the original Bible that men removed.
Know the truth for yourself . .  .
Then use this knew, more in depth information to be a truly correctly obedient  Christian!!!

A reminder that we are free to live wherever we choose . . .
In a 'sticks and bricks' house (paying a crazy mortgage) . .
On a boat (should we choose sailboat or houseboat?) . .
In a tent . .
In a pop-up camper . . .
In a cavern . . .
In a treehouse . . .

   Maybe, just maybe, we should try each!!

Twisted Crazy Quilt

A peaceful morning of quilting  . . .
A day off is an opportunity to breathe, think and simply be.

St. John 20:19-20

This morning I opened my Bible . . .
He led me to this passage . . .

"19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
20 And when he had so said, he shewed them unto his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord."
~ copied from Scofield Reference Bible KJV

Because it was the first day of the week the doors were shut ~ because it was Sunday they were not holding church services. This is because we were commanded to hold Sabbath on the seventh day of the week . . .

Genesis 2:3 "And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."

If you look at your calendar the seventh day is Saturday, plain and simple. Nowhere in the Bible does it say we should worship and rest on Sunday, the first day of the week!!
Worship and rest on Sunday was not God's idea, it was man's. Constantine, in particular. He wanted men to serve the sun god so changed the Sabbath to Sundays, allowing only farmers to be exempt from the mandatory rest day.

Who do you serve?
Who's Sabbath do you follow?

Sabbath Eve . . .

I walked 7,065 steps so far today .  .
Mostly at work . . .
Then a quick perimeter check at home . . .
Supper a la Matt (yummy as ever!) . .
Now I'm quietly quilting . . . .
And praying!!!

I Watched "A Deadly Event Is Occurring Simultaneously Worldwide—Many Lives At Stake" on YouTube

https://youtu.be/4oG0bBPK77E

I watched this video (YouTube makes me think and look at the world from many new perspectives).
Now I am thinking again . . .
I had started plans for making my own unit to distill water ~ from the air and from waste water . . .
It's an opportunity to:
1) think outside the box and create something myself
2) become even more self sufficient
3) create less of a personal/family footprint on this planet
4) inspire my son to follow suit

As the planet changes, whether by natural means or government manipulation, we need to look ahead and be able to care for ourselves.
No need to sit waiting and become like a Hurricane Katrina victim!!!

De-Clutter ~ 500 Things in 14 Days =2642 Items so Far!!!

       Hi! Welcome back! How are you doing with this challenge?!!
       We spent a good portion of Sunday sorting out more of our house and these are some of the 239 additional items we eliminated. I can tell you that the more we de-clutter the better we feel.
       We dropped the bin along with three (3) antique suit cases off at MorningStar Mission. The organizers and boxes were left at the curb along with a chair (most were taken by Wednesday evening).
      I am noticing that the less stuff there is in my house the more I like the house itself.
Less
      Is
       Definitely
          More!!!

2403+239=2642 items eliminated!!!

MPG Game ~ Update!!

Hey there!! How are you doing with this game? (Please, please leave your progress in the comments below)
My MPG has improved dramatically. I have found that Not watching the "instant MPG" reading has actually helped. But, more importantly, our recent move has seriously reduced my stress level. The new sense of calm has slowed my driving . . . less rushing and more slow happy driving!!
Now, I must say that those driving near me are Way more stressed . . . . the fact that I flat out refuse to go over the speed limit, I begin to stop when I see a yellow light and I stop at all railroad crossings to look both ways has made me less than popular on the roadways . . . And helped my MPG . . .
And . . . I am loving this new MPG!!!

Organizing/Prepping in Limited Space

       As we consolidate all our worldly possessions into our new mobile homestead I have been wondering what would happen to our preps. I mean, seriously, can one fit a family And six (6) months of supplies into a small bug out location? We are beginning the process of finding this out.
       You can see in the photos how I've organized my dental supplies and         gels/body washes. These handy bins (plastic shoe boxes) slide neatly into the tiny bathroom sink base. Soon I will add more of these~ for bar soap (love Dove!!) and shampoo/conditioner. I believe I can easily fit a six (6) month supply of bathroom items in the allotted cabinets. As for toilet paper, I am planning to stack that in the tub/shower. We can pull it out when we shower so we're basically using wasted space wisely!!
       How are you minimalizing and organizing?
