My wife a 5th generation and I am a 4th generation Satyrday Sabbath keeper. Sabbath observance is an organic part of who we are. The move to a luminary-based Sabbath was neither easy, nor done in haste. However, this move was one of necessity after honestly examining the evidence.

We have nine children and moved from urban Florida to rural Missouri in the autumn of the Gregorian year 1998, where
we purchased a 61+ acre parcel of unimproved land and started building. We now have a home large enough to
accommodate us plus a few out-buildings. To go in the chicken coop and barn, we have several horses, a flock of goats,
a few cows, a dozen or so cats, lots of dogs, a gaggle of 50+ chickens and guinea hens, a breeding pair of doves, an
elephant, a goldfish and a newt. (Just kidding about the newt). For the record, we spay and neuter the animals we do
not purposely intend to breed.
We are home schoolers.
We believe in the soon return of YHVH. Soon, and very soon, we are going to see the King!
We wanted to raise our children in the country. Apparently it was more than our children whom the Creator planned to
have benefit from the change of scenery. In the solitude of nature's cathedral, we were introduced to the Sacred Name
of the Father and the Creator's other appointed times--the yearly festivals. After examining the evidence, we were
convicted of heart to observe these new-found "old truths". We began to home-church after our local congregation
decided that we were no longer welcome. Because of their tradition, they could not tolerate that they might have been so
many years in error. We are not bitter, but look at being cast out for His Name's sake as the best thing that could have
happened to us. From that point on, we no longer were relying or leaning on the arm of flesh for our spiritual
nourishment, we studied together in our home and simply followed the Good Shepherd and the leading of His Holy Spirit.
At Feast of Trumpets in the Gregorian year 2000, my wife said, "We keep the feasts by the moon. Leviticus 23:1-3
says that the Sabbath is the first feast." Then she asked, "Why don't we keep the Sabbath by the moon?" I hemmed
and hawed, and, admit to my dismay, that I gave a very unsatisfactory answer.
In the spring of the Gregorian year 2002, we felt compelled to study the new moons. We were convicted that there was
more to this segment of the Creator's calendar than met the eye and felt that we were not doing everything we could to
observe these days properly. After three months of studying the new moons the Holy Spirit led us to see that the weekly
Sabbath was indeed regulated by the moon. The evidence for this conclusion is found in the body of this website.
We invite you to study and decide for yourself why and how the Gregorian calendar is indeed a man-made counterfeit to
the original calendar of the heavens. This isn't THAT hard to understand. For instance...
When our youngest was 4 years old, he and my wife were meeting a family friend in town. Blake busied himself while
Mom chatted. On the way home, my wife pointed out the near full moon creeping over the trees on the eastern horizon.
Blake said, "Yeah, I saw it back at Wal-Mart, it's not the Sabbath yet." He was right, the Sabbath was two days away.
At the same time we were seeing and accepting the Creation Calendar, we adopted an 8 year old daughter who had
never HEARD the word Sabbath before. Early one morning, several months later, she and my wife were driving home on
the interstate. A waning moon had been peeking in and out of the cloud cover. At one point, my wife pointed it out to
Abigail, who commented, "Yeah, I've been watching if for a while. It'll be the Sabbath in a couple of days." She was
exactly right. The third quarter moon, the 22nd day of that month (the lunar month, not Gregorian month), was two days
later.
At the next Passover, we invited several guests that we wanted to share this with. We were unsure how to proceed
because their resistance to it had been pretty stiff. At one point, our guest had said to my friend Jeff, "Can you believe
the Wilson's are keeping the Sabbath by the moon?" And Jeff said, "Well good for them." (The Wilson's are our 80+
year old friends who had been studying with us.) At that point, our guest did not know that Jeff and my family were ALL
keeping the Creator's calendar. He was shocked. A lengthy discussion/debate regarding the Creator's Calendar
ensued. During this discussion, Blake was tugging at my pants leg. "Daddy! Daddy!" he said, interrupting. I shushed
him more than once because he was interrupting. "Daddy! Daddy!" he persisted. Finally, I acknowledged him. "Daddy!"
he whispered earnestly. "Look," he said pointing to the full moon, "It's the Sabbath."
The sun had gone down on Abib 14 (Passover) and a full moon proclaiming the Sabbath of Abib 15 had just risen. What
our distinguished guest was denying our 4 year old boldly proclaimed in his presence. HalleluYah!
A little child shall lead them.
We believe that the Creator says what He means, and means what He says. That the Creator does not need to preserve His Sabbath in a pagan/papal/Roman/man-made/solar-only calendar. We also believe (based on the evidence) that Israel, a mere 2000 years ago, still had it right. So what happened?
We provide the indisputable, irrefutable truth regarding the origin of the original Sabbath of Creation at no charge. This is NOT rebellion, this is Sabbath reform. We do not worship the moon. We worship the One who CREATED the moon. The One who said that the luminaries in the heavens were for signs, seasons, days and years.
