Healing, Part 6
I feel like Job in chapter 42. I am humbled before an Almighty Elohim who controls the weather and creates mighty beasts that no one can tame. He is not to be questioned and not to be told what He will do. I am not worthy of His attention or His favor. Many others suffer […]
Really good soup
Sunday we butchered a sheep, and cooked down as many bones as we could fit in our pots. Today I was feeling much better after my little visit from a friendly little flu bug. (Okay, he was really mean, and beat me up and left me for dead.) So I made some soup from the […]
Quick update and a recipe
Hello again! Update for torah school homeschoolers: Chayei Sarah is ready to go. Please accept my sincerest apology for taking so long on this one. I just learned that some families study the week prior to the reading of the torah portion. I will try to avoid this delay in the future. I would like […]
Healing, Part 6
Update: 75% of my scar is barely visible, the remainder is not far behind. Ever since my first c-section, I have had severe bleeding in early pregnancy lasting at least a month and putting me on bedrest. This time around, praise YHVH, it has been negligible at most. Praise YHVH! This journey has been humbling and […]
Torah School – Beresheet
Welcome to my homeschool. I would like to give you a glimpse (okay, a thesis) of what Torah School looks like in our home. My children are 8, nearly 7, 5, 3, 11 months, and the youngest just got a heartbeat last week (7 weeks in utero.) Grades are fuzzy right now, so consider them […]

My Courtship Guidelines
I see many young ladies anxious to meet their prince. Would you like to hear how I met my prince, and how we made it to the wedding altar to share our first kiss? Read on! It all happened eleven years ago. I wore a childish denim jumper with sailboats on the pockets. I just wanted […]
Feast of Trumpets Celebration!
We are all enjoying some quiet at my parents’ house right now so I thought I’d share some photos. Our gathering was rather small, all extended family, but we enjoyed ourselves very much. Reading the torah portion together as well as an article about Yom Teruah Sadie coloring a picture of shofars FOOD! Gramps blowing […]
My husband’s hobby – Sukkot!
In the last four years, Doug has become completely obsessed with Feast of Tabernacles. He tries to improve and design a better sukkah every year. It’s a challenge here in northeast Michigan. We’ve had rain, flooded tents, mud, “smoke” issues, freezing temperatures, flat air mattresses, etc. And we’ve never had more fun! We look forward […]
Healing, Part 3
Yahshua healed many people, and usually said something to the effect of, “Your faith has made you whole.” So what is faith? Is it simply believing? Is it an emotion? If I have a weak moment of doubt, is it all over? I hope not, because in the last 6 weeks, I’ve had some moments […]
