Lately, my book signings have been getting harder to do. It seems people are just reading like they used to or those that do read are owning e-readers like Kindle and Nook. I am an author and blogger and it's my business to watch...

At my last bible study we were in the Bible chapter of Zacharia and we read how the prophet saw two women with the wind in their wings (Zach 5:9-11). He mentions talking to a male angel also. I know the Bible usually refers to...

leafygreens08 We should remember that in many paintings and books the artwork uses many females, as opposed to males. It could be such angels are done this way so that we can relate to the artwork better, like we do with paintings of Jesus and even God. We can't relate to...

I have discovered that after buying so many DVDs I don't ever watch some of them. I meant to watch them but when the time came and there was nothing good on TV, I did not pick several DVDs in my collection. After almost a year I...

leafygreens08 Well, let the Internet help out with auctions sites, Amazon.com and various Book/CD/DVD trading clubs. =) Good luck!

I recently heard that there are certain religions that do not allow women members to wear pants or shorts. I saw this in a TV show about The Hutterites on Discovery. If your religion forbids this, do you have to quit that...

leafygreens08 Yes, Raghwagh. I agree with you also. It's usually a group of (male) Elders and pastors who decide what the rules are going to be. And if you don't follow them, you will get a talking to. It's happened to me so now I don't go to a church. At Bible Study, you...

leafygreens08 Bravo! I totally agree with you and you made a good case for what your church expects. Modest apparel that is decent and appropriate is key! And if a woman wears something feminine and attractive (without it being sexy and whorish) while wearing pants or...

leafygreens08 I am sorry to hear this. I truly hope your restrictions are worth what you are getting from your religion. If this gives your heart fullness and peace and brings you close to God, then good for you! I may not agree with such practices, but it's important to...

leafygreens08 I'm afraid I have to agree with you. This is why my hubby and I only go to an informal Bible Study at someone's home. We dress nice and I can wear pants or shorts without any complaints from anyone. What matters the most is that we worship together, pray...

leafygreens08 I agree, Asdomencil. But leaving that religion is sometimes not a choice. If a woman sees nothing wrong with wearing a nice pair of slacks or dress pants and still look feminin, she should be able to go to a service without any problems from the church's...

leafygreens08 So you no longer go to church at all? Do you still read the Bible and pray? Do you still try to spend time with God? It's so sad when I learn that a religion actually makes you WANT to drift away from God, instead of the opposite.

I have my player going right now and it's playing some lovely Vivaldi. The string orchestra fills the room with delightful happy sounds while I sit here typing away. I try to pick lively numbers from the classics like Vivaldi,...

leafygreens08 I suppose that is very possible, 1hopefulman. I agree that angels are spirits like God. Since that prophet was not explicit about what they were we can only guess, but I would like to think that they were possibly angels because they were flying. As I have...

leafygreens08 Our church is much the same. I hope I hear from some women in MyLot who are and maybe they can help explain why this is practiced. It seems to me that such a practice was mandatory back then, but now... well, I don't see how wearing pants or shorts should keep...

I currently go to a mixed Bible Study almost every Sunday but I notice we rare discuss or cover topics I, being a woman, would be interested in learning. For example, we just did several weeks on the men prophets in the Old...

leafygreens08 I totally understand that. I have several books about the Bible that were written for women and by women. I feel I get more from the Bible this way than through Bible Study, though I still go because I want to go with my husband. Bible Study is still a good...

leafygreens08 No, not often. Nowadays I tend to still read books and my Kindle. Audio books are only for when I am driving or crafting. =) Cute smilies!
