This has enabled her to use both the front and the back of a piece of felt for activities, which is not only cheaper, but means she doesn't have to sew the pages back-to-back either. The books are bound using ribbon strung through some holes made with a hole punch.

<li>cotton fabric for the green mountain</li><li>fabric glue or double sided iron-on interfacing</li><li>felt scraps in green, sky blue, orange and dapple grey</li><li>decorative beads in orange and silver</li>
<li>short dowel rod (about 20cm in length, 7mm in diameter)</li>

<div>Mark and cut out the mountain shape from your mountain fabric and use fabric glue to glue it to a piece of green felt (or use thedouble-sided iron-on interfacing according to the directions). Once it is dry, cut it out and sew a fine zigzag stitch along all edges to stop it fraying and peeling. Then sew it onto your background felt to about just below half way up the sides of the mountain leaving the top open to form a pocket.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AL9nZEWr2BUIEscJrBVDaYibV-0q-enDMiPLmM8zSfouKffLhb9pB6XkskGvZYWsniOh6AbK1JRwy869uPavvqlWvkYzcEd7dlHqRjGhvgSU-fD9bNJsiej2f-ek0rNa0NWgH8pWvLyQCo5r6l3hJFjuaFI=s1256-no?authuser=0" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="943" data-original-width="1256" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AL9nZEWr2BUIEscJrBVDaYibV-0q-enDMiPLmM8zSfouKffLhb9pB6XkskGvZYWsniOh6AbK1JRwy869uPavvqlWvkYzcEd7dlHqRjGhvgSU-fD9bNJsiej2f-ek0rNa0NWgH8pWvLyQCo5r6l3hJFjuaFI=w400-h300?authuser=0" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Cut out the circles from the sky blue felt and sew down your orange birds followed by their dapple grey wings, making sure to position one in the upper position and the other in the lower position.

<h3>
Devotional</h3>
This Christian Hymn seems to be to be using the phrase "flee like a bird to your mountain" in the opposite way to what David's adviser was. But the point in the end is the same. God is your refuge, put your faith in Him.<br />
<br />
I have heard stories of many people who chose to stay in dangerous places because they felt that is where God wanted them. They trusted Him and escaped all kinds of danger because He looked after them. The most dangerous place in all appearances may actually be the safest because God is with you. The safe places might actually be the most dangerous because you are no longer relying on God.<br />

I can't remember if topics for each page were already chosen and we picked from a list or if we made up our own page topics, but this is a unique idea I haven't seen anywhere else. So I am wondering how you came up with the idea?</b></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Jessica: I do believe we had topics for the pages. If I remember right we swapped about 10 pages but I ended up making a bunch more at home to complete an Old Testament Book and a New Testament book. I think the idea was just that the new testament letters are so hard to capture unless you only represent one single powerful verse such as John 3:16. But I wanted to capture all of it. The concept was that the original letters were written on scrolls and to provide the kids an image of a scroll and then they could point off the ABC's or trace over the letters on the page. For very young kids they can use a pretend feather pen that was tucked behind the scroll, and trace the letters. For older siblings they could practice reading the name of the Letters from the Apostles or even memorize the names of the books.<br /><br /><b>Carissa D: I love pages that can suit multiple age groups and can sort-of grow with the child. What significance do the New Testament letters hold for you? Was there a particular attraction to the topic of this page?</b><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Jessica: I think I chose this page simply because I had an idea I thought I could do. I don't consider myself very artistic and so if I had any idea for a page I went for it!<br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Carissa D: What do you think of quiet book swaps and would you recommend people join them?</b><br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Jessica: Many many mother's struggle through going to Mass with little ones. I love Quiet books because it is an activity that the kids can do that still keeps them at least in some way thinking about God, while not letting them have a toy that they can bang into the pew and make us Mom's worry about disturbing others. Little ones need to be active and they do belong at church with us. Anything that makes it easier for them is a worthy effort. We have made four quiet books now.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AL9nZEVjX0o4UFcMxPFhGspS_AMMGoyw9A7q8ZmRVgv7fRrM6YNcNz7YgCPNlE5g_JwpJ3eGuBxDkqcCa48_QJRlvSveSit5_BZzZhItrY9gqerzJIN9ffLuuUfrwxVv0MOv_qbWOATYsT3APzzWDO4untQ=s943-no?authuser=0" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="943" data-original-width="943" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AL9nZEVjX0o4UFcMxPFhGspS_AMMGoyw9A7q8ZmRVgv7fRrM6YNcNz7YgCPNlE5g_JwpJ3eGuBxDkqcCa48_QJRlvSveSit5_BZzZhItrY9gqerzJIN9ffLuuUfrwxVv0MOv_qbWOATYsT3APzzWDO4untQ=w400-h400?authuser=0" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><b style="font-size: large;">Carissa D: Well done!

Cut out a piece of felt in the shape of a scroll (maybe practice on paper and then transfer to white felt). Sew all sides down except one so that you can tuck in a feather behind it. If you feel conformable with a sewing machine sew your lines across to give the appearance of a scroll like you see in a line drawing or you can sew the edges and use puffy paint for the lines. I used a google image for "scroll line drawing" as an example. Once your sewing is done, write out the names of all the letters in puffy paint (hopefully your handwriting is better than mine), and keep a feather behind the white felt, on the side your didn't sew for kids to practice tracing with.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Carissa D: It does sound easy.

I believe it represents eternity on the New Earth, when we will all be released from slavery, returned to our families and given land to inherit. The Jubilee year follows seven lots of seven year "weeks", where the land was given a rest every seventh year. It was not to be sewn and grape vines were not to be pruned, etc. This would rejuvenate the land, and God promised that if they would keep the Sabbath rest for the land every seventh year, that He would bless the harvest in the sixth year so there would be enough to feed everyone for three years (which would of course last until the harvest came in in the first year of a new Jubilee cycle, with a Jubilee resulting in two Sabbath years rest for the land in a row). This was reported to have occurred during the reign of Hezekiah (2 Kings 19:29).</div><div><br /></div><div>Although the first day of the seventh month (on the religious calendar) is New Year's day on the civil calendar, the Jubilee is not announced until Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), which is ten days later. I'm not quite sure why that is yet, but I'm sure there is a reason. Nevertheless, I can certainly see the contrast the God is intending announcing a Jubilee celebration on a day of traditional fasting. And He does state that the four major fast days will be turned into joyous occasions (Zechariah 8:19) - and what more joy could you have than when set free from slavery, returned to your family, and given an inheritance?</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j9uuvtcd_Fk" width="320" youtube-src-id="j9uuvtcd_Fk"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9uuvtcd_Fk" rel="nofollow">Ron Kenoly - Jubilee (Official Live Video)</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I have previously explained my reasons for believing that the Jubilee is the 50th year (and not the same as the 49th year as some people propose) in my <a href="https://faithandfeltobsession.blogspot.com/2016/10/jubilee.html">Time to Celebrate: Jubilee Bead Cycle tutorial (plus bracelet craft) for the High Holidays</a> post. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLWLcyKJQ3hz1lWy_ILiczseJn2ksxXDPShQVm7dQyWmnY7B04ek5QprYER59C_ccXyrJSGKeNkFl1NDbCjuHCqMU1tT3kY2w2GSwW4SnWFK2Z-4gTPjfdO2hlqUBbLZ2lIvnzBpsAcRFqppa7ReNLI=s400?authuser=0" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLWLcyKJQ3hz1lWy_ILiczseJn2ksxXDPShQVm7dQyWmnY7B04ek5QprYER59C_ccXyrJSGKeNkFl1NDbCjuHCqMU1tT3kY2w2GSwW4SnWFK2Z-4gTPjfdO2hlqUBbLZ2lIvnzBpsAcRFqppa7ReNLI=s320?authuser=0" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><br /><div>Most people would have only experienced one Jubilee in their lifetime, at least only one that they remember. It is the countdown to restoration. Ultimately, the land belongs to God, and He divided the land between the tribes of Israel. Because the land belongs to God, it was not allowed to be sold permanently. At the Jubilee, if you had sold your land sometime during the 49 years, you would get it back. The price of the sale was to reflect the amount of time remaining until the Jubilee (if there were many years, the sale price would be more than if there were only a few years left). The family that the land had been given to always had the right to buy their land back (called redeeming it), with the price again reflecting how many years were left until the Jubilee.

I was having trouble trying to think how to illustrate this story and thinking about a dress-up Jacob page with Issac in bed or something. But it was seeming too complicated, and as they say, simple is best. So when I thought about how I could simplify this page, this idea came to mind. I really love how something so simple can demonstrate the whole story so well.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is another instalment to the Jacob the deceiver story-line. Originally Rebecca is surprised to find out she is pregnant with twins, and when they are born Jacob is a bit of a deceiver in that his fist came out first and a scarlet thread was tied to his wrist to mark him as the first born, but then he withdrew his fist and Esau was actually gets born first. That's how he got his name. Then he convinces Esau to sell him his birthright for a bowl of red lentil stew. A dumb thing to fall for, but I guess Esau feels gypped by Jacob, and now when he actually lives up to his name and deceives his Dad and steals the blessing, which Esau still has to look forward to, Esau gets mad. In a few chapters time, Jacob ends up getting deceived into marrying what may have been the wife intended for Esau. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l9g-1l06grU" width="320" youtube-src-id="l9g-1l06grU"></iframe></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>I read in the Mishna that since Issac and Rebecca had two sons, and Rebecca's brother Laban had two daughters, that there had been some kind of agreement or arrangement made that the older son would marry the older daughter, and the younger son, would marry the younger daughter. But to Rebecca's dismay, Esau never went to claim his bride, and married locally instead. Rebecca at least wants Jacob to marry right, and uses Esau's anger as motivation to finally convince Jacob to go and claim <i>his</i> bride. By this stage, Esau had two wives already. Apparently Jacob was already about 77 years of age when he went to Haran (you can work it out from his age when Joseph was born and how long he stayed in Haran).</div><div><br /></div><div>There is a big Mamma's boy theme going on here too. Issac says to his son, and Rebecca says to her son... Esau seems to be Issac's favourite, and Jacob, Rebecca's. Esau is a hunter, a real man. Jacob is a dweller in tents, a home body who does domestic things like cooking lentil stew.</div><div><br /></div><div>So Jacob buys, steals and is tricked into getting everything due Esau. He wants the birthright, he wants the blessing, but not so much the wife. But it seems that they come as a package. And that God had plans for Leah too. </div><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/Mp0DmCxg4El-EvklN0dRAY7PD2IxKxye2aAUSrjkMBgvN0h_cKhlr1VV0TOKEyjNGIQbFHtKktJQnG_rWkkeObroo7ZsQCt5Ey1oUlHt8aqzK08Wy5I9GE7VugEtNCPzQz3yAfXcmywvRHmCkArBn01PlLq8hwhTO-_KMbMnpYWL-Bgf8RKSN3EE6o4ouvEaf54nrxCNtySC9jbj96D7UowGtmT5LkuHOyR0M0FFy7VYplVRc417ZLaZqOu1KzR-7xmqzkN2u3Asn69iLusYBeMd7dbohbuRFlvoBK0Pnl5MSMhYzU-yYEeM8LcshL0BYolUkn3LH95vp-um63g566uoeVc0AORZH_LjtKf9D8SElCn8XuVbVmsiLXWQZV2rk9lpkbTBIiR77ZSBezpv7dmpxs2OKUFOkd4HSpe47GOZHdMOL2XjJlYkGV0psyTnZ0MUAPyvdtUQaGCGKZ9t2QeAyOFQOgBnZ_7GU7VKZSRZK-z1I0_SqrQovH32dvX9fHSGkq8ovKvVJkDLNHikVSVnEJbrtWrX8FTVk6ccQL8n_ZLdeQdJ72F85IMW4sVmiaIO2Rj8d1pasxMSPee44BoochQWiCBTsXLZzs_aJDMtGwVRBwxvzNjTBBuEFGUHhGsTXilQwyEf7ca6r0qQUkoODKlvcYQdw1IYGxrCBcT0DEeR6xNcMOF-IAR5pIQnBYlYMNk_oS3F8S2J9g=w939-h352-no" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="352" data-original-width="939" height="119" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/Mp0DmCxg4El-EvklN0dRAY7PD2IxKxye2aAUSrjkMBgvN0h_cKhlr1VV0TOKEyjNGIQbFHtKktJQnG_rWkkeObroo7ZsQCt5Ey1oUlHt8aqzK08Wy5I9GE7VugEtNCPzQz3yAfXcmywvRHmCkArBn01PlLq8hwhTO-_KMbMnpYWL-Bgf8RKSN3EE6o4ouvEaf54nrxCNtySC9jbj96D7UowGtmT5LkuHOyR0M0FFy7VYplVRc417ZLaZqOu1KzR-7xmqzkN2u3Asn69iLusYBeMd7dbohbuRFlvoBK0Pnl5MSMhYzU-yYEeM8LcshL0BYolUkn3LH95vp-um63g566uoeVc0AORZH_LjtKf9D8SElCn8XuVbVmsiLXWQZV2rk9lpkbTBIiR77ZSBezpv7dmpxs2OKUFOkd4HSpe47GOZHdMOL2XjJlYkGV0psyTnZ0MUAPyvdtUQaGCGKZ9t2QeAyOFQOgBnZ_7GU7VKZSRZK-z1I0_SqrQovH32dvX9fHSGkq8ovKvVJkDLNHikVSVnEJbrtWrX8FTVk6ccQL8n_ZLdeQdJ72F85IMW4sVmiaIO2Rj8d1pasxMSPee44BoochQWiCBTsXLZzs_aJDMtGwVRBwxvzNjTBBuEFGUHhGsTXilQwyEf7ca6r0qQUkoODKlvcYQdw1IYGxrCBcT0DEeR6xNcMOF-IAR5pIQnBYlYMNk_oS3F8S2J9g=w939-h352-no" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">Follow Faith and Felt Obsession on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/faithandfeltobsession/">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.pinterest.com.au/faithandfeltobsession/">Pinterest</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo16fRYofF1vJ62N2aY3z3Q?pbjreload=10">You Tube</a></span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Have you made a tactile page?

In anticipation of fleeing Egypt, the Israelites</span><span style="color: #660000;"> ate unleavened bread as instructed by God because they did not have time to wait for the yeast to rise. Yeast also represents sin as it causes dough to puff itself up (like pride) and so when God gave the instructions for commemorating the flight from Egypt in the festival of Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Israelites were told to rid their homes of any yeast (Chametz in Hebrew) and yeast breads ahead of celebrating those feasts.<br /><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLUov7EFGr1R7ejx-FrlVZuoOAuntsQaqKIRAX1Ju3jtNr-6fhKZrbhajLBQpblDOr7TIsjIpfSBYgmCLRijXrXR9QTmHnxiTdAks8D8_23QtW_iXCIS5JLs49iHjTfMaKH4rZGavwzl6vTTWSPfw0s=s876-no?authuser=0" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="657" data-original-width="876" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLUov7EFGr1R7ejx-FrlVZuoOAuntsQaqKIRAX1Ju3jtNr-6fhKZrbhajLBQpblDOr7TIsjIpfSBYgmCLRijXrXR9QTmHnxiTdAks8D8_23QtW_iXCIS5JLs49iHjTfMaKH4rZGavwzl6vTTWSPfw0s=w400-h300?authuser=0" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />As part of the festivities, a game for the children developed called the Chametz Hunt. The mother cleans out the yeast products from the house, but hides 10 pieces or crumbs for the Dad to help the children find. They go on a hunt using a candle for light and when they find the crumbs, they use a feather to scoop the crumbs onto a wooden spoon and take them out of the house to be burned.<p></p><p>In a similar manner, we need to seek out our sins and get rid of them. Perhaps there are 10 pieces of bread to remind us of the 10 Commandments.<br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLWP2lRDXqshGO1uGh6Id2AVvOpVTzi8_WnYApkgRmqOhD4z5ebMP0UvGGgjsQKucS7OFYxmoC-UZZdi8YM1QMa1wCwKAAfzApOv9Aj1OhpHitH2LoiQajB-e5vuBjex4aKQLfUN5sW7C6SJecNo-cs=s657-no?authuser=0" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="657" data-original-width="657" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLWP2lRDXqshGO1uGh6Id2AVvOpVTzi8_WnYApkgRmqOhD4z5ebMP0UvGGgjsQKucS7OFYxmoC-UZZdi8YM1QMa1wCwKAAfzApOv9Aj1OhpHitH2LoiQajB-e5vuBjex4aKQLfUN5sW7C6SJecNo-cs=w400-h400?authuser=0" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><br /><p>There are plenty of hiding spots on this hat to hide bread.

You can of course use a round button if that is what your church uses.

You may need to do more than one coat. Seal it with the varnish. Try to keep the holes in the button from being blocked so you can thread them onto elastic. Create a circle with the elastic and tie a knot to secure. Fold the circle onto itself to create a double loop and pin it in place underneath where the bowl will be sewn. Roll up the face washer and check that you have the right length to pull the elastic loops over the buttons on the other elastic loops to hold it in place for storage. Use zig-zag stitch to secure the elastic to the page.

To not offer it would have been very impolite.

You can imagine how dirty sandal-ed feet would get, let alone bare feet walking along a dusty or muddy road. It was probably littered with donkey and camel excrement as well. So I imagine having your feet washed was something both the host and the guest would appreciate, as well as all the diners next to them.

God is simply "questioning". Humanity is so weak in comparison to God, that God felt the need to prepare Job and ask him to brace himself so that He could even "question" him.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">I think we all have questions we would like to ask God. I mean, Job certainly handled himself very well. I don't think I know anyone who could loose their entire business and family (bar one) and keep their words clean. And God honours Job by appearing in a whirlwind to speak to him. I think at that point, it would have been humbling enough for Job - but then he hears all the questions, and God has requested answers to questions that he in no way can answer.

Not happy, Jan.</p><p>My sister's page differed a little from mine, as she had an entrance to the tunnel at both ends (you can easily flip my template and make it an entrance at both ends if you like). She also had a mountain over the tunnel which it went through.

The Parable of the Fig Tree is about this too, and is often misunderstood. Perhaps the most important sentence in this chapter relating to the very end of time in which we find ourselves is that the gospel will go to the nations, and then the end will come.<div><br /></div><div>It is our duty to take the gospel to the nations, not to worry about what terrible things may befall us. Jesus promises to be with us to the very end of the age - so what do we need to fear? I feel it is selfishness which drives us to prepare for the end by buying property in the country or hills so we can run to it in the future trials. Selfishness is never something that should be motivating us, therefore the theology behind it must be wrong. </div><div><br /></div><div>Ultimately, what we need to worry about is if we took the gospel to the nations. If we spent all our time worrying about our future instead, it will be something to be ashamed of - but if we spend our time preparing others to enter Heaven, God will take care of us and we won't need to worry about anything that may or may not happen to us down here. In reality it doesn't matter - God can resurrect, restore, and re-build.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you are feeling worried about the future and the end times - read this sermon titled <i><a href="https://rts.edu/resources/jesus-prophecy-of-consummation-of-the-kingdom-part-4-the-fig-tree-that-day-and-hour-no-man-knows/" target="_blank">Jesus’ Prophecy of Consummation of the Kingdom, Part 4: The Fig Tree: That Day and Hour No Man Knows</a> </i>by Dr Ligon Duncan.<div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qpsykwE1t3A" width="320" youtube-src-id="qpsykwE1t3A"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpsykwE1t3A" target="_blank">Human Nature - People Get Ready</a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/Mp0DmCxg4El-EvklN0dRAY7PD2IxKxye2aAUSrjkMBgvN0h_cKhlr1VV0TOKEyjNGIQbFHtKktJQnG_rWkkeObroo7ZsQCt5Ey1oUlHt8aqzK08Wy5I9GE7VugEtNCPzQz3yAfXcmywvRHmCkArBn01PlLq8hwhTO-_KMbMnpYWL-Bgf8RKSN3EE6o4ouvEaf54nrxCNtySC9jbj96D7UowGtmT5LkuHOyR0M0FFy7VYplVRc417ZLaZqOu1KzR-7xmqzkN2u3Asn69iLusYBeMd7dbohbuRFlvoBK0Pnl5MSMhYzU-yYEeM8LcshL0BYolUkn3LH95vp-um63g566uoeVc0AORZH_LjtKf9D8SElCn8XuVbVmsiLXWQZV2rk9lpkbTBIiR77ZSBezpv7dmpxs2OKUFOkd4HSpe47GOZHdMOL2XjJlYkGV0psyTnZ0MUAPyvdtUQaGCGKZ9t2QeAyOFQOgBnZ_7GU7VKZSRZK-z1I0_SqrQovH32dvX9fHSGkq8ovKvVJkDLNHikVSVnEJbrtWrX8FTVk6ccQL8n_ZLdeQdJ72F85IMW4sVmiaIO2Rj8d1pasxMSPee44BoochQWiCBTsXLZzs_aJDMtGwVRBwxvzNjTBBuEFGUHhGsTXilQwyEf7ca6r0qQUkoODKlvcYQdw1IYGxrCBcT0DEeR6xNcMOF-IAR5pIQnBYlYMNk_oS3F8S2J9g=w939-h352-no" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="352" data-original-width="939" height="119" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/Mp0DmCxg4El-EvklN0dRAY7PD2IxKxye2aAUSrjkMBgvN0h_cKhlr1VV0TOKEyjNGIQbFHtKktJQnG_rWkkeObroo7ZsQCt5Ey1oUlHt8aqzK08Wy5I9GE7VugEtNCPzQz3yAfXcmywvRHmCkArBn01PlLq8hwhTO-_KMbMnpYWL-Bgf8RKSN3EE6o4ouvEaf54nrxCNtySC9jbj96D7UowGtmT5LkuHOyR0M0FFy7VYplVRc417ZLaZqOu1KzR-7xmqzkN2u3Asn69iLusYBeMd7dbohbuRFlvoBK0Pnl5MSMhYzU-yYEeM8LcshL0BYolUkn3LH95vp-um63g566uoeVc0AORZH_LjtKf9D8SElCn8XuVbVmsiLXWQZV2rk9lpkbTBIiR77ZSBezpv7dmpxs2OKUFOkd4HSpe47GOZHdMOL2XjJlYkGV0psyTnZ0MUAPyvdtUQaGCGKZ9t2QeAyOFQOgBnZ_7GU7VKZSRZK-z1I0_SqrQovH32dvX9fHSGkq8ovKvVJkDLNHikVSVnEJbrtWrX8FTVk6ccQL8n_ZLdeQdJ72F85IMW4sVmiaIO2Rj8d1pasxMSPee44BoochQWiCBTsXLZzs_aJDMtGwVRBwxvzNjTBBuEFGUHhGsTXilQwyEf7ca6r0qQUkoODKlvcYQdw1IYGxrCBcT0DEeR6xNcMOF-IAR5pIQnBYlYMNk_oS3F8S2J9g=w939-h352-no" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">Follow Faith and Felt Obsession on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/faithandfeltobsession/">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.pinterest.com.au/faithandfeltobsession/">Pinterest</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo16fRYofF1vJ62N2aY3z3Q?pbjreload=10">You Tube</a></span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Do you like my Gospel train in Matthew 24, or do you think it doesn't really fit?

Also, I figured that if King Abimelek was looking out a Palace window, why wouldn't it have been white-washed. Surely a palace back then would have been decorated nicely. But now I am wondering if he looked through a window into their house instead of looking out a palace window. But then again, it may have been similar to the David and Bathsheba incident, where the king's palace was taller than surrounding houses, and thus when he looked out his window, he could see straight onto the roof of nearby houses. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLU6VWgrgB3FckSzMBmS3sKH055ySQ6mRCK6Ylks3tpaWwOU57GBIRtExv_RVwZEs4p2hnKb4I_PrCsfahQasli2jUjhpnCM9CQ029EFUW_aRevYTCWsdjej1Q50jGwq9Y7Zc-vtHQkvNX_8v8LnfxQ=s657-no?authuser=0" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="657" data-original-width="657" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLU6VWgrgB3FckSzMBmS3sKH055ySQ6mRCK6Ylks3tpaWwOU57GBIRtExv_RVwZEs4p2hnKb4I_PrCsfahQasli2jUjhpnCM9CQ029EFUW_aRevYTCWsdjej1Q50jGwq9Y7Zc-vtHQkvNX_8v8LnfxQ=w400-h400?authuser=0" width="400"></a></div><br><div><br></div><div>Arrange the window pieces onto a square of felt and sew down each plank in order.

<span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Often I have ideas brewing in my head for a long time. I've been thinking about the Jubilee Cycle for quite a while now, but when I saw this <a href="https://alsoglutenfree.wordpress.com/2010/10/12/how-the-church-tells-time/" target="_blank">How the Church tells time</a> post <a href="https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/570690584041310822/" target="_blank">pinned on Pinterest</a>, it immediately sparked the idea to make a floor or coffee-table sized Jubilee Bead Cycle.</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLWLcyKJQ3hz1lWy_ILiczseJn2ksxXDPShQVm7dQyWmnY7B04ek5QprYER59C_ccXyrJSGKeNkFl1NDbCjuHCqMU1tT3kY2w2GSwW4SnWFK2Z-4gTPjfdO2hlqUBbLZ2lIvnzBpsAcRFqppa7ReNLI=s1185-no?authuser=0" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="889" data-original-width="1185" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLWLcyKJQ3hz1lWy_ILiczseJn2ksxXDPShQVm7dQyWmnY7B04ek5QprYER59C_ccXyrJSGKeNkFl1NDbCjuHCqMU1tT3kY2w2GSwW4SnWFK2Z-4gTPjfdO2hlqUBbLZ2lIvnzBpsAcRFqppa7ReNLI=w400-h300?authuser=0" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">In Bible terms, years are measured in seven year blocks called weeks. The seventh year in each block was to be a Sabbath for the land - it was not to be ploughed or planted. Seven lots of seven year blocks (49 years) was followed by a 50th year known as the Jubilee (Yovel in Hebrew). This was a complete cycle. The Jubilee was supposed to see any slaves go free and land sold during the 49 years return to the rightful owners as it was granted to by God after the conquest of Canaan. It is also a picture of what will happen on the New Earth.</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">I think this could be an appropriate craft for either Rosh Hashanah / Feast of Trumpets or Yom Kippur / Day of Atonement. The civil New Year starts on Rosh Hashanah, but a Jubilee Year is not formally announced until ten days later on Yom Kippur. And whilst Yom Kippur is generally not a fun holiday but rather a solemn fast, when a Jubilee is announced, it cannot help but be celebrated - slaves were to go free, land and property returned to the original owners as given by God, and families were reunited. I believe Jesus is coming again to announce the ultimate Jubilee.</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">How to make a Jubilee / Yovel Bead Cycle</h2><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">I bought a large pack of 25mm round wooden beads - you will need 50.</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">Paint seven beads in one colour to represent the Sabbath years and paint one bead in another colour to represent the Jubilee year.

They think the Jubilee disrupts the seven year Sabbath cycle and interpret Jesus' parable of the fig tree to relate to Israel in the last days and the dating of the last seven years of Daniel's prophecy which they believe have been cut of and delayed until just prior to Jesus' second coming.<br />
<br />
I disagree because:<br /><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>The Bible specifically says "the fiftieth year"</li>
<li>Pentecost follows a similar pattern, with the celebration occurring on the fiftieth day following a period of seven weeks</li>
<li>The meaning of the word Jubilee relates to a period of 50 years. The Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee did not mean she had been ruling for 49 years!</li>
<li>Jesus' parable of the fig tree related to the dating of the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD, which I hope to discuss in further detail in a future post</li>
<li>The last week of Daniel's prophecy was not cut off, it was an accurate prophecy of the Death of Jesus our Messiah (who was the one cut off - not the week). This is the historical view of this prophecy if you want to look it up in the mean time, but it should also be the topic of a future post.</li>
<li>Including a fiftieth year into a cycle also rounds the seven year cycles up so that they continue to fit nicely into thousand year blocks, ensuring that sets of years remain fitting within a millennium. It is also consistent with the Millennial Day Theory where each day of creation represents a millennium of Earth's history. As Peter says - one day is like a thousand years to the LORD. It allows even measurements of years throughout the ages (an age is 2000 years). There are three ages, then the Sabbath millennium. </li><li>I believe the Jubilee follows the Sabbath and interrupts the Sabbath Year Cycle in order to represent Eternity</li></ol><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLXwgwar0L8WVpWalWmfEt22nw2KKcWgVKDpsfjtaW6hArjnxlz7-o_rt-vJv7dmJiDzhOdo3lxFF-8LstyLHthgY_J7YYaC4ZrL6REjvWoXIthjgPsSV26Ci-SF-q42UhEV2dPyoqxFlsSgqjP9T9I=s1185-no?authuser=0" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="889" data-original-width="1185" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLXwgwar0L8WVpWalWmfEt22nw2KKcWgVKDpsfjtaW6hArjnxlz7-o_rt-vJv7dmJiDzhOdo3lxFF-8LstyLHthgY_J7YYaC4ZrL6REjvWoXIthjgPsSV26Ci-SF-q42UhEV2dPyoqxFlsSgqjP9T9I=w400-h300?authuser=0" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>We also made a Jubilee Bead Cycle bracelet, which could be used as a follow-up craft for a Bible Class after the kids see the larger version for the story.

He doesn't include Joseph's innocence in his story as asked (I probably wouldn't either). Nor is the point of his story to help Joseph at all. I mean, I wouldn't be wanting to remind Pharaoh of my previous mis-favour either.</div><div><br /></div><div>I wonder how much encouragement Joseph's dreams gave him when he was sold into slavery in a foreign land - the very land God had foretold Abraham his descendants would be enslaved in. His condition gets worse before it gets better and Joseph finds himself, not only a slave but a prisoner. Did his dreams still give him any comfort? I guess Joseph may have seen a chance to get out of goal when he was able to speak to the Chief Butler - someone with influence at court. And yet Joseph remains confident in interpreting the dreams of others, even though his own dreams are yet to be fulfilled and appear rather unlikely to come about. </div><div><br /></div>I enjoy hearing how Joseph structured his speech with Pharaoh. <div><br /></div><div>Of course, he cleaned up before coming into his presence. But after observing Joseph's favour with God, Pharaoh elevates him even further - even second in command! I can't help but feel that Pharaoh is continuing to represent God here in this chapter, and Joseph, Jesus. </div><div><br /></div><div>He clearly delivers the good news first, and promises a favourable outcome before he begins. I wonder at this, because there is clearly not-so-good news to come. But it looks like Joseph is employing the old feedback sandwich technique here. He puts the bad news in between two pieces of good news, and Pharaoh seems humble enough to receive it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Joseph is only asked to interpret, but he also proposes a solution - a bold move, no? It seems rather rash to suppose that Pharaoh would listen to a suggestion from someone straight out of gaol, but Joseph has obvious confidence. And it may be that his proposal is the exact thing which convinces Pharaoh that his interpretation is true - see the following short post <a href="https://www.chabad.org/parshah/article_cdo/aid/557137/jewish/Why-did-Pharaoh-accept-Josephs-dream-interpretations.htm" target="_blank">Why did Pharaoh accept Joseph's dream interpretations and not the others'?</a> by Shmuel Kogan.</div><div><br /></div><div>Another reason Joseph may have been believed revolves around the text of verses 1 and 17. In verse one, the banks of the Nile are not mentioned, but they are mentioned by Pharaoh in verse 17. It is theorised that Pharaoh actually dreamed he was standing on the Nile (a god in ancient Egypt), and in an attempt to hide this embarrassing and sacrilegious fact, Pharaoh says he was standing on the Nile bank. It is suggested that Joseph corrected this (another bold move if true), thus Pharaoh could see that Joseph had knowledge from God - see <a href="https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/78155/why-did-pharaoh-believe-josephs-dream-interpretation" target="_blank">Why did Pharaoh believe Joseph's dream interpretation?</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Whatever the reason/s Pharaoh believed Joseph, we can have confidence that God is in control, able to influence world leaders, and churn out miracles in the face of dire circumstances. We also can have the confidence of Joseph when we are putting our trust in the L<span style="font-size: x-small;">ORD</span>.<br /><div><div><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/Mp0DmCxg4El-EvklN0dRAY7PD2IxKxye2aAUSrjkMBgvN0h_cKhlr1VV0TOKEyjNGIQbFHtKktJQnG_rWkkeObroo7ZsQCt5Ey1oUlHt8aqzK08Wy5I9GE7VugEtNCPzQz3yAfXcmywvRHmCkArBn01PlLq8hwhTO-_KMbMnpYWL-Bgf8RKSN3EE6o4ouvEaf54nrxCNtySC9jbj96D7UowGtmT5LkuHOyR0M0FFy7VYplVRc417ZLaZqOu1KzR-7xmqzkN2u3Asn69iLusYBeMd7dbohbuRFlvoBK0Pnl5MSMhYzU-yYEeM8LcshL0BYolUkn3LH95vp-um63g566uoeVc0AORZH_LjtKf9D8SElCn8XuVbVmsiLXWQZV2rk9lpkbTBIiR77ZSBezpv7dmpxs2OKUFOkd4HSpe47GOZHdMOL2XjJlYkGV0psyTnZ0MUAPyvdtUQaGCGKZ9t2QeAyOFQOgBnZ_7GU7VKZSRZK-z1I0_SqrQovH32dvX9fHSGkq8ovKvVJkDLNHikVSVnEJbrtWrX8FTVk6ccQL8n_ZLdeQdJ72F85IMW4sVmiaIO2Rj8d1pasxMSPee44BoochQWiCBTsXLZzs_aJDMtGwVRBwxvzNjTBBuEFGUHhGsTXilQwyEf7ca6r0qQUkoODKlvcYQdw1IYGxrCBcT0DEeR6xNcMOF-IAR5pIQnBYlYMNk_oS3F8S2J9g=w939-h352-no" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="352" data-original-width="939" height="119" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/Mp0DmCxg4El-EvklN0dRAY7PD2IxKxye2aAUSrjkMBgvN0h_cKhlr1VV0TOKEyjNGIQbFHtKktJQnG_rWkkeObroo7ZsQCt5Ey1oUlHt8aqzK08Wy5I9GE7VugEtNCPzQz3yAfXcmywvRHmCkArBn01PlLq8hwhTO-_KMbMnpYWL-Bgf8RKSN3EE6o4ouvEaf54nrxCNtySC9jbj96D7UowGtmT5LkuHOyR0M0FFy7VYplVRc417ZLaZqOu1KzR-7xmqzkN2u3Asn69iLusYBeMd7dbohbuRFlvoBK0Pnl5MSMhYzU-yYEeM8LcshL0BYolUkn3LH95vp-um63g566uoeVc0AORZH_LjtKf9D8SElCn8XuVbVmsiLXWQZV2rk9lpkbTBIiR77ZSBezpv7dmpxs2OKUFOkd4HSpe47GOZHdMOL2XjJlYkGV0psyTnZ0MUAPyvdtUQaGCGKZ9t2QeAyOFQOgBnZ_7GU7VKZSRZK-z1I0_SqrQovH32dvX9fHSGkq8ovKvVJkDLNHikVSVnEJbrtWrX8FTVk6ccQL8n_ZLdeQdJ72F85IMW4sVmiaIO2Rj8d1pasxMSPee44BoochQWiCBTsXLZzs_aJDMtGwVRBwxvzNjTBBuEFGUHhGsTXilQwyEf7ca6r0qQUkoODKlvcYQdw1IYGxrCBcT0DEeR6xNcMOF-IAR5pIQnBYlYMNk_oS3F8S2J9g=w939-h352-no" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">Follow Faith and Felt Obsession on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/faithandfeltobsession/">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.pinterest.com.au/faithandfeltobsession/">Pinterest</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo16fRYofF1vJ62N2aY3z3Q?pbjreload=10">You Tube</a></span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Has a dream from God changed your life?

I have compiled a few examples below so you can choose the method that suits you best.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLVnAmNRxswau6C5yOoQEUVlCSt_zr6xN6I4L_5bAXY_qRaa1HF4CR_NanC5tF_-QgNYpvuR0oRghE1HRXNWnrp7D7ge-H0gXdXNgFiYoZzz6fwYzQJKyGGFiZd1C9_kiQf3qAC5KUThdAZNtHkiSgk=s889-no?authuser=0" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="889" data-original-width="889" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLVnAmNRxswau6C5yOoQEUVlCSt_zr6xN6I4L_5bAXY_qRaa1HF4CR_NanC5tF_-QgNYpvuR0oRghE1HRXNWnrp7D7ge-H0gXdXNgFiYoZzz6fwYzQJKyGGFiZd1C9_kiQf3qAC5KUThdAZNtHkiSgk=w400-h400?authuser=0" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Of course, for all the methods, it is best to wash and iron the fabric before cutting to ensure it doesn't shrink afterwards.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">1 - Fold and Cut</h2><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Simply fold your material into squares (or rectangles depending on the size book you want to create) and cut along all folds. This works well for when you want to use the same fabric for all the pages of your busy book. If you want different fabric for each page, another method will suit you better.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLVszUlCIhv7Bz7M3240c4Q0UTfFKJAtGSBE_7X8-mAy_gyRl51LJh6IaTtbSXTlwbQlXqITqTbCsNH1FCsRHfjohgdOSdzorcb-zw0yjPkucJ56DlhsrNe4Eit_KPgcU_N1g2hjwwzPJIIkQ2tRbpc=s1185-no?authuser=0" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="889" data-original-width="1185" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLVszUlCIhv7Bz7M3240c4Q0UTfFKJAtGSBE_7X8-mAy_gyRl51LJh6IaTtbSXTlwbQlXqITqTbCsNH1FCsRHfjohgdOSdzorcb-zw0yjPkucJ56DlhsrNe4Eit_KPgcU_N1g2hjwwzPJIIkQ2tRbpc=w400-h300?authuser=0" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h2 style="text-align: left;">2 - Template Drawing</h2></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">This is the method I use. I have decided on the sizes I want to use a lot and have made templates out of some cardboard I had laying around. Then depending on how precise I want to be, or how slippery the fabric is, I simply place it on my fabric and either cut around it, or draw on the fabric and then cut using plain old scissors.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">You can just use a kid's picture book to get the sizing right too. If you look at the age recommendation on the book, it will give you an idea of what a good page size for that age looks like. Just remember to cut extra for the hem.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLXLNT61HxzEhq8Ge791bBS4TIQUOEp48lgibfvdm_0wn_b_viy95irlztJPzdz_wgtFt7w7VxASW8LsD-knbYSIOTNGLHeaJa8eskn8GKMrsotNGGaspSTr3_Re0KsPklKRTXBO4sJ2iT4gttlIkDo=s1581-no?authuser=0" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="889" data-original-width="1581" height="225" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/pw/AM-JKLXLNT61HxzEhq8Ge791bBS4TIQUOEp48lgibfvdm_0wn_b_viy95irlztJPzdz_wgtFt7w7VxASW8LsD-knbYSIOTNGLHeaJa8eskn8GKMrsotNGGaspSTr3_Re0KsPklKRTXBO4sJ2iT4gttlIkDo=w400-h225?authuser=0" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h2 style="text-align: left;">3 - Quilting Ruler and Rotary Cutter</h2></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">If you want to do a lot of fabric cutting, you may want to invest in some tools. This method is easier on the hands if you are finding you get strains, or you have arthritis or such.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ju-8ZdcmC8s" width="320" youtube-src-id="Ju-8ZdcmC8s"></iframe></div><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h2 style="text-align: left;">4 - Clip and Rip</h2>This method ensures that your fabric is cut straight along the grain, and is rather quick. You may not get as many squares out of your fabric as you thought though. The video demonstrates how to make strips, but you can definitely cut the other sides of the squares in the same way.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VN-ZHMS_L54" width="320" youtube-src-id="VN-ZHMS_L54"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /><h2 style="text-align: left;">5 - Laser Cutting Machine</h2></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">This last method is of course very expensive and is therefore suited to large scale production, which I am guessing most of my readers are not going to be into. But I know you are all going to be drooling in wishful thinking like I am! Of course, this is an example of the detailed cuts which can be done, but you can also cut plain boring background pages this way too.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/18Sw3vKQOiI" width="320" youtube-src-id="18Sw3vKQOiI"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Which method suits your needs best?

Or at least how I imagine the years leading up to The Flood. Noah had an urgent message to share. If everyone would only listen and believe. It was also a message from the God who made the Heavens and the Earth. And at least the animals took notice. I find it difficult to believe that anyone could have been an atheist or agnostic at that stage in Earth's history. But I think what they didn't believe was that God was going to actually punish them. Rather, they felt like "everything was going to continue" as it had since the beginning. <div><br /></div><div>In the same way, the three angels make reference to God's creative power. Creative power is much more complex than destructive power. Is it easier to paint a masterpiece or burn it? Is it easier to build a house, or blow it up? It takes far greater skill to fashion something, so why would you question God's ability to destroy it? </div><div><br /></div><div>Maybe they thought God was too soft, but let me assure you, Jesus had a tradie's beard, not a Soy Boy one. </div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y68V7zEUpQM" width="320" youtube-src-id="y68V7zEUpQM"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Rev 14:6-12 in song - 3 Angels Messages</div><div style="text-align: center;">(<a class="yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCozr2kEFZFIJLzhmnTh_DNg" spellcheck="false" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; cursor: pointer; display: var(--yt-endpoint-display, inline-block); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.25px; text-decoration: var(--yt-endpoint-text-decoration, none);">RevelationofGod</a>)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Today, people believe that everything will continue until either we destroy ourselves, or we evolve enough or develop better technology to survive under harsher conditions.

Better to listen to the Good News of the three angels - for indeed it is good news if you are saved from the destruction due Babylon (who has already fallen).

Making busy books can be a bit of an experiment, and sometimes the experiment fails. Anyway, I hope it will be an encouragement to know that we all make mistakes. A blog is generally full of all the good things, and usually the mistakes don't make it here. In fact, it is easy to hide mistakes by careful photography, and I have been guilty of that as you can see below if you are a Faith and Felt Obsession fan.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Epic Fails may make a comeback in future posts, but for now, here are the first 5 that I am willing to share!</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I was trying to cheat and make a quick and easy page with hot glue and a few old lids from baby wipe packets. The hot glue has not worked very well and the page threatens to fall apart every time we use it. But the idea is LOVED. You have to guess which door the pig is hidden behind. One person looks away while the other person hides the pig. Loads of fun to a child. I may have to make a better version out of felt some day, but for now, this will do until it finally does FAIL completely.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">2.

<br />
This was my attempt to make felt with a bit more character. In Australia there are not many options when it comes to buying patterned felt. Of course there are more options if you buy online, but I still don't see the options I have seen available in the U.S.<br />
<br />
I wanted to make speckled eggs for a hen quiet book page I was making (will link to it once published). Now my felt just smells like bleach and did not turn out speckled at all. Thanks to Murphy's Law the bleach did not work when I wanted it to, but no doubt it would work very well if I spilled bleach accidentally on a finished page.<br />
<br />
I tried using a spray gun to apply the bleach and left it overnight. That didn't work, so I tried wetting the felt first so it would soak into the felt better instead of sitting more on top. I dabbed it on in larger spots. That also didn't work. So I ended up with no change in colour, but a definite change in smell. I wanted speckled fresh eggs and ended up with a FELT FAIL that smelled more like century eggs!<br />

As I spoke about in my <a href="https://faithandfeltobsession.blogspot.com/2018/02/sublimation-printing-on-felt-test.html" target="_blank">Sublimation Printing on Felt - Test</a> post, I finally got around to purchasing a heat press so I can transfer sublimation prints onto felt. Actually this was the second one I bought. The first purchase was an EPIC FAIL too. I first bought one from AliExpress, where I buy a lot of craft supplies such as buttons, beads and ribbon. Apparently the postage was too great and then there were taxes etc - the supplier kept asking for more money. After expressing my dis-satisfaction they agreed to refund the purchase and gave my money back, thankfully.<br />
<br />
My second purchase was from e-Bay. It was not much more expensive than the Ali-Express one and was coming from a company based in Australia, so it would be easier for me to make arrangements if there were any issues. It also included delivery. I thought I was doing great this time, but when it arrived I found more problems...<br />
<br />
I stared at the box for months. It looked complicated to put together and I didn't have the mental energy to approach it. I was scared. Then when I finally opened the box... I found it was already put together and I only had to change it if I wanted a different attachment. But, it was too heavy for me to lift!! Now I felt I would have to nag my husband to move it for me if I want to use it 😁.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">After he did lift it out for me, I have discovered I can move it from one place to another, so ling as it is already at bench height. So it is now in my garage on a shelf and I can get it out onto a bench if I want and put it away. although I am still yet to order any sublimation printed paper from Digitextiles as planned and am now considering getting a sublimation printer too so that I will actually use the heat press... watch this space.<br /><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
