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 […]

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 […]
Lacto fermented heaven

Simple Pleasures
I have felt very restless and discontent lately. Is it because I’m not grateful for what I have? No, absolutely not. I have been richly blessed. I am restless because I know in my heart that I am not fully entering into that blessing. I am wasting my time on frivolous things that don’t matter. […]
