Last week, we brought up the concept of Abraham’s expanding tent. What does it look like and who does it include? For many, this tent belongs only to the lost tribes of Israel, meaning the lost tribes of Jacob. In fact, Yeshua himself stated, “I come to the lost tribes of Israel.” But are we…
This week I was faced with a dilemma. Do I write on subject that would take more pages than you would care to read or do I pose questions from the Life of Sarah? Obviously since this is a blog, I chose the later. In doing so, I am hoping that you will dig into…
Sometimes, we believe that YHWH God does not show Himself. We ask to see and understand, but due to our blindness we fail to see His Mighty Hand. Though at times, His presence is very clear. Do we look forward to those times? Do we remember those times? As we continue to visit Abraham’s journey…
Back in the day, before Yeshua changed my heart, I had a temper problem. Even though I was small in stature, I would fearlessly oppose anyone or anything that stood in my way. That temper showed itself many times. When at home, I fought my brothers. And when at school, I would fight anyone who…
The sound of a trumpet seems to cut the air like nothing else. Its musical presence can alert, direct, and even pierce the soul. According to Hebrew traditions, the sound of a Shofar can alert warning, be a call to gather, or announce royalty. Whatever the reason may be, the one hearing the blast is…

Have you ever reached the end of your rope? Maybe you wanted to tell someone, but have bottled it up until you just can’t hold it in any longer. Finally, you burst out, “I need help.” You aren’t alone. It’s ok to share what is going on in our lives. And it’s also good to…
I heard a person recently state that the various rules found in Torah were silly, outdated, and even vindictive. But are they? How do they compare with man’s way of thinking? This week’s Torah section is called Ki Tetse, which means “When you go out,” an interesting description, though wonderfully important, in that many of…
One of the most favorite verses to quote, from either a secular or Biblical position is found in the Messiah’s “sermon on the mount.” I believe it has become a favorite for some in that it seems to give a free pass to those who want to ignore poor decisions and not come under judgment…
Shalom Everyone, Last Sabbath was an amazing experience at North Santiam River Park. Lots of food, wonderful fellowship, learning to be “in” Messiah, and heartfelt Mikveh’s in living water. A wonderful Sabbath it was. This week, Angie and I will be in Idaho visiting our son. We will miss being with you, but know you…
