Feast of Trumpets 2011
Feast of Trumpets It is always a joy to celebrate the feasts of YHVH. This year was unique. It felt as though someone did not want us to celebrate. We had to deal with some spiritual warfare. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the […]
Rubber boot homeschool week #4

How to rejoice when the car gets fixed
I thought everyone would like to know that my van is fixed! I now have power steering again. The really exciting part is that I fixed it myself. I am not in the habit of fixing cars, or even checking fluid and changing tires. But I do hand over wrenches quite nicely, so I felt […]
Rubber boot homeschool week #3
It was nice to get back to a relatively normal school routine this week. Last week, I felt like I was up to my ears in hot dogs and jerky. Nearly 50 lbs later, the butchering is all done. Toddler Highlight The little people in our house get to be part of the fun, too. […]

Can we obey 98% of the time?
As we enter into the fall feasts, we are given a wonderful opportunity to evaluate ourselves. We need to look in the dark corners of our closets, peek under the cupboards, organize that high shelf. So it is at this time that I ask the question: Am I obeying YHVH 98% of the time? Yahshua […]
Homeschool 2011-2012 Week 1
Isn’t that an awful title? I’ll try to be more creative next time. So we had our first week of school this week. I could say it went well, or I could say it didn’t go so well. I think mostly it was about learning to work with life in the middle of school. I […]
Pop up pictures
We started school yesterday! I will post more about that later. Today I would like to share a cool little project we did tonight. Grandpa visited the other day with several pop up books in tow.
