10 days of heart issues – question everything

Question everything What I am going to say in this post will probably not be well received. But I firmly believe it, so here goes. 🙂 Many of us were raised to trust the status quo, to believe what we are taught, to not get too curious. But one day YHVH showed me that truth […]

In our kitchen

We have been doing some neat things in our kitchen lately, aside from washing laundry! Enjoy the picture tour. Thanks to my father in law, I now have three crockpots lined up on my counter. Two are currently filled with dry beans which will be made up into fermented bean pastes and dips. I’m anxious […]

When niddah comes to call part 2

I’m lying in a strange bed watching a romantic movie by myself crying my eyes out. Yes, niddah has come to call again. I want to feel my husband’s embrace. I want to sleep in the same bed. But I must choose. Will I choose to fulfill my physical desires? Or will I choose to […]

When the washer breaks

My dryer broke awhile back, and I was without a dryer for several months. I got very good at drying my clothes even on rainy or winter days. I sometimes use my dryer, but I am very thankful for the skills and setup needed to dry my clothes without electricity. But somehow, it never occurred […]

When niddah comes to call

              When my husband and I were engaged, we did not touch and we were never alone. The slightest brush, a tap of the foot under the table, were cherished and remembered with delight. In the absence of physical contact, we learned to communicate. We became the best of […]

Technology strikes!

I know, I know! I just said that we were going to stay on dialup, and here I am on high speed, sitting on my couch, writing this post on my tablet. Sometimes YHVH has wonderful plans for us that we didn’t dream of. I actually have much more flexibility to get my internet stuff […]

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 […]
