Ashrei HaIsh The Man is Happy Still my theme song. But today has been a very strange day. I take a walk at lunch to stretch my legs, going through the streets of downtown Houston. Today, I was singing Ashrei HaIsh [man I love that song! That Psalm (1)]. I rounded the corner and headedContinue reading “That buzzard! Hell oh hell!”

I am NOT a ‘Step Father!’
I can hear the Creator saying that. I had the luxury of growing up knowing who both my parents were, having them alive and well through my whole childhood, [and very far into my adult life, though they both left too early], not having been adopted. But, there was a time when I feared IContinue reading “I am NOT a ‘Step Father!’”
“He speak with fork-ed tongue”
In my Hebrew reading yesterday and this morning in Brit Khadashah, I was in Efisim, and then Tesalonikim, respectively. I just read the whole books again, because they are so rich in wisdom and revelation. I also saw in this reading another proof that Aramaic was the original language of the Brit Khadashah [NT], andContinue reading ““He speak with fork-ed tongue””
Can I have your undivided attention? ~ Yeshua
Havdalah: BREAKING BREAD TOGETHER It was NOT on ‘Sunday’, and it was NOT ‘new’. And it was NOT the beginning of ‘house churches’ and the replacement of public assembly, since the word ‘church’ didn’t even exist back then. The noun ‘church’ replaced the idea of ‘congregation.’ A congregation must ‘assemble’ at the appointed times [HebContinue reading “Can I have your undivided attention? ~ Yeshua”
Gold Digger
Get Ready! Messiah’s words about the world’s behavior and condition before He comes are being fulfilled before our very eyes. Before Yeshua “revealed” the “things that will be”, the last thing He said, to BELIEVERS, was: “I counsel you to buy from ME gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; white clothing,Continue reading “Gold Digger”
Wing Nut
I know I come off as a wing nut, some would say as ‘under the law’, as if I’ve betrayed Messiah, and am trying to earn my salvation. They could NOT be more wrong. Some would say I do not ‘have the Spirit.’ I’ve heard it all. Even some folks who KNOW the power ofContinue reading “Wing Nut”
What Are You Counting On?
Day 23 of Counting the Omer: Why this strange ritual commanded by יהוה ? [Lev 23:10-17] This is in anticipation of the second grain harvest, the wheat harvest of late spring/early summer. All of this is associated with Resurrection. The first sheaf wave offering was conducted on the 1st day of the week, the oneContinue reading “What Are You Counting On?”
Are you drunk?
Respect for life has all but disappeared in this country, and certainly the world over. For the last few days, the abortion issue has surfaced in my search for news. In that search, it is also becoming increasingly difficult to find just that: news. Most of what we get is commentary, where news ‘anchors’ actuallyContinue reading “Are you drunk?”
Omer Goodness!
Our portion this week includes the counting of the Omer in VaYikra, [Lev] and also a mandate in Kolossim not to follow the commandments of MEN. If you have been following our Congregation’s web page and postings, you will see that our count is just now on 16 in the Omer, whereas among Rabbinic JewsContinue reading “Omer Goodness!”
The Sign of Yonah
Yeshua said that the only “sign” He would give Yisra’el to prove that He was/is Messiah was the sign of Yonah [Matt 12:39-40]: “Rabbi, we want to see a miraculous sign from you.” He replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign… No! None will be given to it but the sign ofContinue reading “The Sign of Yonah”
