Introducing our children to Yeshua

If you have a similar backstory to me, you were raised in the church and left the church to keep Torah as an adult. It has been quite a journey, am I right? When we came to the understanding that Torah still applies, it was like a whole new world opened up to us. I […]

Love by the book pt. 1

First Corinthians 13, the love chapter, has been added to wedding programs for decades, but otherwise, we pretty much gloss over it. We don’t glean the tremendous wisdom laid out in this amazing chapter. As I have studied Scripture, I have come to the conclusion that the vast majority of Scripture exists to help us […]

I would like to speak from my heart today. We have been working really hard to have an evening Bible study time together as a family every night. We have learned a lot about being faithful and consistent, about learning together, and about the Bible. Today I want to share with you some of what […]

Teaching our children to fess up

We recently had a little event that gave ample opportunity to apply Torah principles. One of my children, which asked to remain nameless, broke a drill bit belonging to Doug.
