“Come lawdy, go lawdy, and come back again, lawdy!”  From “The Jeffersons.” I do not pretend to stand in the office of a Navi [Prophet].  In fact, I’m not certain I would want to, because the Nevi’im of old suffered at the hands of people who thought they were righteous.  O, wait.  So have I.Continue reading “Cum Laude!”

“The Little Smuggler…” This poem broke me down at the Sho’ah Museum in Israel. Inside the Museum, there is an exhibit called The Little Smuggler…. but, before I explain it, let me give you some personal history. When I was about 3 to 4 years old, we lived in my Mom’s hometown in Georgia, nextContinue reading “Are You Sho’ah?”

Yeshua is RISEN! Most of the world is commemorating His resurrection at the rising of the sun, on ‘sun-day’, but Yeshua arose RIGHT AFTER the Sabbath ended, at the beginning of the BIBLICAL “first day” of the week, ie, SATURDAY NIGHT. That time is called in Israel, “Motza’ei Shabbat”, the ‘departure of the Sabbath’, andContinue reading “Just missed it!”

מַה נִשְׁתָנָה הַלַיְלָה הַזֶה Tonight begins Pesakh, the Passover of  יהוה  , commemorating the SALVATION of our Jewish people, and all those who would trust in Him through His Son, Yeshua the Messiah.  Yet most of our Jewish people, including many of those who are Jewish and also believe in the Son of G-d, areContinue reading “Timing Is Everything”

Here is a video I was challenged to make; I hope it helps someone get through tough stuff during all this chaos. I made it before finishing my second cup of coffee, so I’m still a little disheveled.  But, the scriptures are very helpful for those who would ‘hear’. I wish you all shalom, Simkha,Continue reading “Quarantine Challenge”

I mean that with the utmost of respect, both for Yeshua, and for those who are called or consider themselves ‘redneck’; I come from a long line of ‘rednecks’, given my understanding of that word.  My dad used to say, “There are some smaaart people hiding in these woods.”  And indeed there are.  Rednecks, likeContinue reading “Redneck, Yeshua?”

Are we really in a pandemic that justifies the reaction our government is demanding? I do not disbelieve that there is a ‘bug’ out there.  From the start, which for me was back in December, I’ve known there is actually a virus; I just also know it was manufactured and released, and did not justContinue reading “Buh-buh buh-buh buh. buh. Why? CORONA!”

“Let them both [wheat and tare] grow together until the harvest; and at the harvest season, I will say to the reapers, ‘Pick out first the tares, and bind them into bundles to be burned; but gather the wheat into my barns.”” Recently, during a time of testing, I was told by someone I thoughtContinue reading “Tare It!”

“Restore unto me the joy of your Salvation; and let a willing Ru’akh uphold me” I have been meditating on and teaching/encouraging His Body concerning going ‘into’ His Presence, and ‘practicing’ it more and more.  It is as much a function of the mind as it is the Ru’akh.  The mind of a believer inContinue reading “הָשִׁיבָה לִּי שְׂשׂוֹן יִשְׁעֶךָ ; ורְוּחַ נְדִיבָה תִסְמְכֵנִי”

I’ve been seeing lots of holocaust articles and memes of late.  It’s caused me to think back on my discovery of my Jewish lineage, which I always suspected, but especially when I discovered a love for the Torah back in my early twenties.  “Dreyer” was my maternal grandmother’s heritage.  Her grandfather was one of theContinue reading “Holy Cost”
