Trying to Stay Warm

I'm truly ready for Spring! It has been in the 20s straight here in Ohio with 6" of snow on the ground. It's beautiful and makes everything look clean, but I'm truly ready for Spring. :)

This week has been a good week. Got a lot done at work, now I'm heading off to teach a Cake Decorating Class tonight. I think I'm going to splurge and get a Starbucks tonight. Just don't tell my friend Paul who eats raw!

I've also been working on our family's cookbook project. We're compiling a Messianic cookbook of which I'll post about separately. That's going to be very exciting! We've gotten all the main Torah Teachers to agree to be part of it too! The recipes as they come in are looking delicious. :)

Exciting News

Well, I've got 3 exciting events coming up!

Our family has been hosting a monthly Shabbat Gathering. For our February gathering, Eddie Chumney will be joining us. He'll be doing his 5 Minute Update live from here as well as a new teaching "Let Us Go Up To Zion" and a Q&A Session.

Then we are hosting Passover in April. Eddie will also be joining us for that! :)

And finally, we are hosting Shavuot in June (10-12) and will have Paul Nison as our speaker.

I can't wait for each of those...but I'm going to savor each one too. :)

A Great Shabbat

Today, we had our monthly gathering of Messianic/Hebrew Roots believers at our home. It was a wonderful time. We began gathering around 11am, had lunch at 12:30pm, then midrashed on the topic of "Spying out the Land." After the midrash, we broke up into smaller groups and talked. We younger folks enjoyed a good game of Phase 10, and of course David won! ;) It was a refreshing time of fellowship of believers.

Then tonight, I got some more work in on my book in progress as well as caught up on some e-mails and other work. A great start to a new week.

One of my Favorite Bibles

As we get begin a new gregorian year, many of us still seek to read through the Bible in a year. How about reading one that restores the true name of the Messiah and YHVH? Check out the Restoration Scriptures we carry at http://webstore.watchmanofzion.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=26

Headcovering

Great video on the Headcovering...from Torah Life Ministries

Surreal...

Yes, that's where I'm at. I'm at a place where I guess in the world's eyes, you should be in "turmoil" or "worried", but I'm fully at rest in the Father's Hands. Have you ever felt that way? If so, will you share?
