10 days of heart issues – Be grateful
Be grateful Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.    Psalm 100:4 We all know that we are supposed to be grateful, but sometimes it is easy to forget. We dwell on the problems and struggles, but we don’t see the good. I thought it […]
Judah and Ephraim
Judah has protected and cherished the Torah for thousands of years. Every Shabbat they gather to hear the Torah and kiss the scroll as it passes. To teach their children the Torah, they have developed beautiful traditions such as the candle lighting on Friday nights. They have hid in basements and caves and attics during […]
My Good for Nothing
What are you good for, my brave little man? Answer that question for me, if you can. You, with your fingers as white as a nun, You, with your ringlets as bright as the sun. All the day long, with your busy contriving, Into all mischief and fun you are driving; See if […]
10 days of heart issues–Study Psalm 119
Study Psalm 119 In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches. (Psa 119:14) Why study Psalm 119? Because as you learn more of Torah, you learn more of YHVH. As you delight in His righteous rules, you delight in Him. Psalm 119 hardly misses a verse without mentioning His […]

Do you know someone who has great integrity? Are they honest and kind? Truthful in all their dealings? If you answered yes, count yourself as blessed! It is […]
Much anticipated arrival
What a wonderful Shabbat surprise I found this morning! Our Boer goat doe, Maggie, gave birth to beautiful twin girls this morning. They are already nursing like pros. Maggie is a very attentive mother. They look like little puppy dog bunny rabbits! Praise YHVH for his blessing on the flock!
Mount Sinai cake for Shavuot
I saw this idea for a Mount Sinai cake on Pinterest and just had to try my own version. Mine is much more rustic and much less frosting (well, no frosting). We started with a brownie base and stacked banana muffins on top of it. The muffins were baked in tuna fish cans (minus the […]
