Shabbat Shalom 1-4

Wow, it’s Preparation Day already! Between tearing out cabinets and nursing a brand new lamb, things have gotten away from me a bit this week. But I think there is only one way to handle it: Pull up my socks and act like a big girl! And move faster to create more heat to counter […]

Jonathon’s story – part 8

As our story draws to a close… As we approached Jerusalem, I got that same sick feeling I had gotten when we came up with my Father, many moons ago. Jerusalem was still completely desecrated.
