In just about 2 weeks we will be celebrating Shavuot, and my family and I couldn’t be more excited! This day, Shavuot/Pentecost/Feast of Weeks is one of God’s festivals and the second season of holy days prescribed in scripture. But the interesting thing about this holy day which sets it apart from the others is that […]

Ah, the Shabbat… a time to relax, be with great people, and get away from the pressures of work and the world. But now… I want you to think about all the bad things that happened to you this week. Yep! That’s right, think about all the frustrating events, all the stressful changes, and difficult
When was the last time you read Lamentations? As far as I know, it’s not on the “hot and popular” list of Bible passages that most people study. It might have something to do with the long list of despairing over the state of Jerusalem, a place that none of us (that I know of)
Shabbat Shalom friends! What would you do with a million dollars? Sometimes, I daydream about this question, and others like it: what would I do with 200 acres of land? What would I do if I could freeze time? And, of extreme importance: what would I do if I had an unlimited supply of ice cream?

My notes and reminders just seem to pile up, every time I accomplish one thing, three more are added. Similarly, I have a long list of negative traits that
Shabbat Shalom Friends! Many of us gathered together this past week for Yom Teruah, and are looking forward to both Yom Kippur and Sukkot.

Shabbat Shalom Friends! This shabbat I’d like to share some thoughts on a biblical person that we don’t talk about much. This is someone who is used as a symbol for incorrect worship, but yet was not always viewed as bad. Trying to get away from the paganism and false ideas that mainstream Christianity, followers of the true Way have
Shabbat Shalom! I hope everyone is doing well, and settling into the Shabbat rest (I know I am!). Here in our household- we’ve been having a blessed week, in the middle of a blessed summer. There’s no greater joy as a parent than doing summer with your kids – all the awesome activities, learning experiences, and joy that

Shabbat Shalom friends! Today I’m on an island in a river, remote camping with my son. Whenever I get to be completely outdoors surrounded by nature and away from the world, I think a lot about what it will be like leaving this present society and transitioning into God’s kingdom. (Please Yah may this day come
