Musings in May
Wednesday, 01 May 2024
Beloved Friends in Yeshua, Musings in May My musings, ponderings, prinking (Jesse’s word for praying plus thinking) began when I found five smooth stones placed randomly on an isolated area of my condominium’s patio (where I have my enclosed garden).

But God . . .
Friday, 01 March 2024
Shalom B’Shem Yeshua, “BUT GOD…” It is hard to believe that on March 25, 2019, my beloved Rabbi Neil Abraham Lash was promoted to Glory. Five years ago!

Shalom in 2024, Where is the Beauty? (For Adult Eyes Only) Since October 7, 2023, our eyes and ears have seen and heard the unbelievable. Our minds have had to process the unthinkable.

One God, Many Names
Friday, 01 December 2023
Holiday Blessings in Messiah, One God, Many Names The God of the Universe, God of Creation, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is so Big, so Powerful, so Majestic, so Eternally Great, that He cannot be described by only one name.
