Soapy?

[Talitha]

Re: Soapy?

S for Scripture
Take time reading and allow God to speak to you. Highlight, underline or place a mark in the margin of your bible next to the scriptures that stand out. When you are done, reread the verses you marked, look for one that particularly spoke to you that day, and write it in your journal.

O for Observation
What do you think God is saying to you in this scripture? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and reveal Jesus to you. Paraphrase and write this scripture down in your own words in your journal.

A for Application
Personalize what you have read by asking yourself how it applies to your life right now. Perhaps it is instruction, encouragement, revelation of a new promise or corrections for a particular area of your life. Write how this scripture can apply to you today.

P for Prayer
This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this scripture, or it may be a greater insight on what He may be revealing to you. Remember, prayer is a two-way conversation, so be sure to listen to what God has to say! Then, write it down.

That is all.

Re: Soapy?

Hi ladies! I was wondering if any of you make your own soap. I was thinking of starting because I tend to have a knack for all things related to the upkeep of a home. It also seems to be useful and would get back to the feeling of the good old days, when men and women both had to bring something to the table. I'm thinking, 'I cook, I clean, I do laundry and work on projects like sewing skirts and stuff, why don't I make my own soap to save money and really be self sufficient. I'm sure you ladies know what it's like to realize you've just ran out of dish soap/laundry detergent and have to leave the house to get it. Maybe it'll save time? I don't know. Does anyone here already make their own soap?

A yahoo search for Soap making turned up this list of results

I have friends who make soap using natural ingredients, and I buy my soap from them - it's definitely more expensive than the stuff you get at the supsermarket, but it's also far superior in quality and doesn't contain all those nasty, environmentally unfriendly synthetic chemicals, so I consider it worth every penny.
Form what I understand from them, it's a fairly time-consuming process, as the soap has to cure once it's mixed.
