Wordless Bible Bookmark


My husband came up with the wonderful idea of a wordless Bible bookmark. I decided to buy some crystal beads and make a wordless Bible bookmark and ask some people what they thought of it. Everyone I've shown them to love them. Most people know the story of the wordless Bible: Gold represents heaven, where we long to be some day with Jesus...Black represents our sins that keep us separated from God...Red represents the Blood that Jesus shed for us upon the cross where he died for our sins...White represents how we are white as snow before God because of what Jesus did for us, he paid our debt in full....Green represents the new Life or growth in Jesus Christ.
The wordless Bible bookmark is an excellent way to remember the story of the Good News. I think the wordless Bible bookmark would make an excellent gift for a new believer or a fellow Christian! It would be a wonderful way to share the Gospel too, and you could give it to the person you share the Gospel with, as a momento of them coming to the Lord.
I love the wordless Bible bookmark because of what it stands for, because it holds the story of the Gospel!
You could find this wordless bible bookmark at http://www.charsbeads4u.com/ along with many other amazing creations.

Easy Come Easy Go....guitar pick necklaces...front page Google

I have no idea what happened....I really was on the top of the front page of the Google search for guitar pick necklaces. I just looked again and I'm not on top...in fact I searched guitar pick necklaces and I was bumped way back....how'd in the world did that happen?

I hadn't blogged on my blogspot site in a long time, so I was shocked when I did the guitar pick necklace search and saw my name at the top of the front page. So I thought to myself...I'll blog a little and see if that keeps me on the front page, then I went back and did a guitar pick necklace search and lo and behold....I was not there!

Who knows!!! Oh well....I had my few seconds of Glory! =) It was good while it lasted....by now it's gone....

Easy Come....Easy Go.......

I'm Front Page on Google Search for Guitar Pick Necklaces


Wow! I could hardly believe my eyes. I did a Google search for Guitar Pick Necklaces and lo and behold I was at the top of the list on the first page! How in the world did that happen? I have no idea....but all I can say is I'm really excited that it did happen!

Guitar pick necklaces are the jewelry that I've sold the most of over the last couple of years on Etsy. I've sold over 200 items and have enjoyed making the guitar pick necklaces more than anything else I've made!

The reason I love making guitar pick necklaces so much is because I love music! I love what music does for the human spirit. It really does touch the soul.

If you love music too or know someone who does, perhaps you'd like to pay my shop a visit: CharsBeads4u.com is the address. Hope to see ya there!

Give your earrings an antiqued look

The most common chemical for making silver earrings have that antiqued look is Liver of Sulfur. This is a common and safe chemical for jewelers who desire to give their silver earrings a nice patina. You can take a little lump of Liver of Sulfur and put into a small container of hot water. It will dissolve making a dark yellowish brown liquid that smells like rotten eggs! The silver earrings should be cleaned thoroughly to remove any oils, etc., and then this smelly solution is placed on the silver earrings with a small brush or cotton swab. After a while, the silver earrings will darken. The silver earrings are then rinsed and a buffing machine or good polishing cloth is gently used to remove the dark effect from highlights, which leaves the recesses with a nice antiqued look.

Some jewelers will obtain the same effect using chlorine bleach. This will darken the silver earrings but less effectively. A word of caution, chlorine can quickly damage white gold jewelry andThe most common chemical for making silver earrings have that antiqued look is Liver of Sulfur.

Learn why it's so important to stay hydrated

People don't realize how sick they can become if they don't stay hydrated! The whole body's wellness depends on keeping every cell in your hydrated. You can avoid many illnesses by staying hydrated with living water.

I wanted to learn more about this, so I began to search the YouTube videos and I came across this amazing doctor who teaches people why it's so important to keep hydrated. He actually explains being hydrated, and he gets right down to the nuts and bolts of our whole body's system and how it works!

I haven't really thought much about being hydrated until recently and now that I've learned how important it is to stay hydrated, it's all I want to read and learn about!

I hope you enjoy the following video, and I hope you learn a lot about staying hydrated and how the body functions! If you go on YouTube, you will find the full 7 videos in regards to good health! For some reason video #2 had been removed from YouTube.

Hidden toxins in our food

There are so many hidden toxins in our food; some which we can wash off with either a natural veggie wash you can buy at the health food store and some people swear by using a 12.5 ph water that is produce by a water ionizer machine. Either way, it's important for us to limit the toxins we know about, because there are so many toxins that are bombarding our immune systems!

I recently learned about the toxin known as MSG and how it can affect children with Autism. I had no idea this food additive was so bad! Many toxins sneak their way into our food chain through unsuspecting sources. Fast food places are notorious for using MSG to make you love their food and they know you'll be back for more because it tastes so good! They really don't care how the toxins they use in their food is affecting you or your children!

So, before you buy your next burger or chicken nuggets meal, think twice about what your putting in your body or your child's body. You have the power to make the choice! Make sure you make the right choice, for your and your child's health sake!
