Tending the Temple Daily

  The other day I had a brief conversation with a young man that I just can't get out of my head. I replay the interaction over and over. I feel like I should be seeing something "between the lines", if you will. A deeper meaning, another layer of understanding perhaps. Writing down my thoughts helps, so here goes.  We traveled to Missouri to meet with our assembly for Shabbat. Fortunately, my youngest granddaughter was allowed to go with us. She was especially excited to go because she could meet some people she had only seen on video and heard through the car speakers. She knows all their songs and boldly sings them from her booster seat as we roll down the road. These people are the praise/worship leaders of the assembly. They are a couple known as Linden and Ruth of Left and Right Ministries. I ran into Linden in the parking lot. I told him my granddaughter was excited to meet him. He was always a person on a screen, and now he's right in front of her. He responde...

  Have you heard about the drones? News reports the drones are appearing over more and more cities and military bases across the USA and Eutope. Lots of speculation as to who is responsible for the drones, but seems no one really knows.  Are they alien? Black Ops? Iran? Watchers? Regardless of what they are and who is responsible, as a redeemed child of the Most High you have security.  A great deception is prophesied to come on the earth. A deception so great even the elect might be deceived.  ( 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12, Revelation13, 2 Timothy 4:3-4). I understand this to mean that even those we hold in high esteem for their knowledge, wisdom, spirituality and experience could fall victim to the deception.  Our only life line here is to know the Word of Yah. Listen intently to what is being presented and weigh it against the Word of Yah. Do not waiver to the left or to the right.  Yahusha told us that His own (sheep) will know His voice. Truly this means to...

I have had a few hard to explain experiences in my lifetime. I know what I know, but sounds crazy when I try to explain it to others. Like that time I was rescued by an angel:   This was way back in the 1980's. I was living in Fayetteville NC near Ft Bragg and Pope AFB. It had been reported in the news that summer about several women being attacked along this certain stretch of road. These women were in car breakdown situations when a carload of men would arrive. The women thought they were going to be helped, but instead they were brutally attacked. I had a job in the mall working evening hours to close. This schedule had me leaving work pretty late at night. One evening as I'm driving down that stretch of road the alternator in my car went out. Lights started to dim, car coasts to a stop in the parking lot of a business. Remember no cell phones, I look around, no payphone, no people, nothing but darkness. Then I hear music, car radio, and see headlights heading towards me. Bu...

  To my Sons: Chaz and Caleb (and my grandsons Charlie and Johnny, and Ethan) Boys, please forgive me for the many times I have failed you as a parent. I have had moments of selfishness, depression, fear, ignorance, and denial,  in these moments I have failed you as your mother. I could have and should have done better. Please forgive me.  I am beyond proud of you.  Both of you have overcome great obstacles and have grown into good men. You are wonderful dads, attentive and supportive husbands, and respectful sons. You are such a blessing to me. I am grateful to be a part of your lives.  Do you remember our bedtime routine when you were little? I would read to you, then we prayed together and I said blessings over you.  Such sweet memories. I still pray for you and now I want to say blessings over you again.  May Yah bless you and keep you, may His Face shine upon you and bring you peace. May Yah grant you favor in all you do, with everyone you meet, a...
