TAKE A HIKE
Psalm 119:105—Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. The Bible is like a trail. That’s how I’ve come to see it. It’s an old trail, cut through time by people who lived in a very different world than ours. As they dealt with their lives, they left a […]
BOUNDARIES
Deuteronomy 29:29—The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. Boundaries, Knowledge, and TrustYesterday I posted a blog with observations and thoughts concerning the serpent in Genesis 3. I keep circling […]
ONE NUMBER – 3 BELIEFS

THE SCARLET CORD OF HOPE
I ended a recent blog post regarding pregnancy and the struggles over “chosing life” with a reference to the spiritual significance of the umbilical cord. A friend asked me to say what I had in mind.

A LOOK AT – IYAR
Today is the 2nd day of the 2nd month, Iyar. Beginning of Temple Construction: In some traditions, it is noted that King Solomon began building the First Temple (Beit HaMikdash) in the month of Iyar, with 2 Iyar often associated with the initiation of this process.

BASHERT VERSUS ABORTION
Bashert at the Integra Dinner: Hearing Two Women, Hearing God Tonight I attended the annual Integra Pregnancy Services fund raising dinner. Two women gave testimony about the struggles with deciding how to handle their unplanned pregnancy. As I listened to them a Yiddish word from another world began to echo in my mind. The word was “bashert.” […]
