Why I no longer wear a Christian Head Covering

 In the Christian faith, true beauty and dignity are not found in outward symbols, but in the heart transformed by love, grace, and truth. While some early Christian communities practiced head covering as a cultural expression of reverence and order, the message of the Gospel transcends cultural customs.

The Apostle Paul, in his letters, reminds us that “in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28). This profound truth means that our worth, freedom, and identity are not bound by external symbols, but by the inner work of Christ in our lives.

Christian women today walk in the liberty that comes from understanding the heart of God's message — that respect, humility, and devotion are matters of the spirit, not fabric. For many, the absence of a required head covering is a reflection of the freedom found in Christ — the freedom to worship, serve, and lead with authenticity, confidence, and grace.

Ultimately, whether one chooses to wear a head covering or not is a personal expression of faith, not a measure of one's devotion. What matters most is the posture of the heart — a life that reflects God's love, strength, and beauty to the world.

You are seen. You are called. You are free — to live boldly, love deeply, and reflect God's glory in your own unique way.

Christian Crystal Healing

 

 What Is Crystal Healing?

Crystal healing is the belief that certain stones or crystals carry metaphysical properties that can promote physical, emotional, or spiritual healing. For example:

• Amethyst: believed to promote calmness

• Rose Quartz: associated with love and compassion

• Citrine: said to bring prosperity and confidence

These practices often stem from New Age spirituality, Hinduism, and other non-Christian traditions.

✝️ Christian Viewpoints on Crystal Healing

1. Cautious or Opposed (Majority View)

Most traditional or conservative Christians discourage or oppose crystal healing because:

• It may involve occult practices or energy manipulation not rooted in Scripture.

• The Bible warns against divination, sorcery, and seeking power outside of God (Deuteronomy 18:10–12, Isaiah 8:19).

• Healing is believed to come from God alone, not objects (Exodus 15:26, James 5:14–16).

Main concern: It can lead to spiritual deception or idolatry—placing trust in a created object rather than the Creator.

2. Neutral or Accepting (Minority View)

Some Christians are more open, provided that:

• Crystals are seen as part of God's creation, admired like flowers or music—not worshiped.

• They are used with prayer and faith in God, not in the stones themselves.

• The practice does not contradict or replace biblical teaching or spiritual disciplines.

These Christians may point out that God used physical elements in Scripture (e.g., oil, mud, even shadows or handkerchiefs—see Acts 19:11–12), but always through His power, not intrinsic magical properties.

🛑 Warnings and Questions to Ask Yourself

• Are you relying on the crystal more than on God?

• Does this practice involve non-Christian spiritual beliefs (e.g., chakras, spirit guides)?

• Is it drawing you toward deeper biblical faith or away from it?

---

✅ If You’re a Christian Interested in Crystals:

• Focus on God as the healer, not the crystal.

• Use crystals only as reminders of God's creation, beauty, or promises—not for spiritual power.

• Avoid rituals or teachings that involve New Age, occult, or energy-based systems incompatible with biblical truth.

---

📖 Scripture for Discernment

• Colossians 2:8 – “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy...”

• 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 – “Test everything. Hold on to what is good. Reject every kind of evil.”

• Isaiah 42:8 – “I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another…”

Summary

Crystal healing is not inherently Christian, and using it as a spiritual practice can conflict with biblical teaching. However, appreciating crystals as part of God's creation—without spiritualizing them—can be acceptable for some. Ultimately, discernment, prayer, and Scripture should guide your choices.

The Government Are Actually Ridiculous Now

 The government here in the UK have already gone too far, cutting winter fuel allowances and in the near future cutting benefits to thousands of disabled and sick people. We all knew this was coming as the Tories wanted to implement a voucher system, so Labour cutting the money dead is of no surprise.

However just this past week I have heard something so ridiculous it needs to be in print so I can take it all in. Do you remember conspiracy theories from the 80's and 90's talking about chemtrails? The theory that  planes emissions were actually chemicals sprayed on us to make us all sick? Well now the government want to..I kid you not...they want to 'dim the sun'.

Not only have the government caused everyone to invest in solar panels but now they want to spray chemicals in the air to dim the sun. Apparently its too hot in the UK and dimming the sun would help with globull warming.

Guess who is laughing now? Yep those conspiracy theorists will now say 'look I told you so'

And they would be right.

The price of varnish!

 Want some nail polish that doesn't cost the earth. Unfortunately due to laws of the universe during the 10 minute air drying period of the polish, I will suddenly need to send an urgent WhatsApp, julienne 27 carrots, make an army of towel swans, build a flat pack bookcase and type out war and peace.

It's supposed to be relaxing

Any gap I currently see in the day I'm filling it with as much jazz as possible. Oh and I have a silicone foot coming through the post to practise nail art and reflexology on. love to see the persons face if they steal that before I get it .

Ps I don't like gel polish

Crystal Healing as a Christian

 Its been a very long time coming but I have started on the book that has been welling up inside for a number of years. In it I discuss crystal healing amongst other vibrational remedies but how they work for a Christian. As Christians we have been told that crystals form part of the occult or new age and to avoid them. However we are dismissing the fact that they are part of Gods creation and they are mentioned within the bible.

I dont charge my crystals, I dont send energy through them, I dont form a crystal grid, I say the Lords prayer over them to 'cleanse' them. Thats about it. I use crystals to make different room sprays and elixirs. All of which can be done without idolising them or using them in occult ways.

Crystals amongst other vibrational remedies can be so helpful to our everyday woes and pains. Yet as Christians we avoid them because the new age has hijacked them. Crystals radiate God's love and I talk about this in my upcoming book.

Filler, Botox, Filler

 I'm in a community group. In this group are lots of adverts from beauty therapists showing photos of people having filler, etc.

I can't tell the difference in the before and after! These women are paying HUNDREDS to have their naso something folds done.

why? What's wrong with not looking like you have your face pulled back around your head? Who wants lips like a baboons ass?

Yer sure I dye my hair. Other than that, I am natural. I have fine lines, but I've discovered Frankincense essential oil. It's a lot cheaper than these concoctions people are injecting into themselves. And to top it off, people all look the same!

Shirley, Southampton UK (Muse)

 Now for the moment I live near Shirley and as some of you have read I shop there regularly. I have featured Coffee 1 on this blog but today I discovered somewhere new. That place is Muse. Its a coffee and ice cream shop. It is spotless in there, its cosy and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. One even let my husband try a bit of ice cream before he purchased. Very reasonable prices and they even do my favourite spice chai! 

 As you can see there is plenty of options for ice cream all made fresh and ice cold. Perfect for the summer! I expect this place to be full when the sun comes out and is already popular amongst children and big kids alike.

I couldn't resist having my photo taken next to this off license sign. I'm there purely for the name not the contents of the shop! Super Sam indeed!
