Substance and Evidence

Its been a busy day of preparation here today. The house is full of wonderful smells, like hallah bread and cooked onions.

Our Shabbat menu will be:

French dip Sandwhiches

Hallah bread

Avacodo hummus and

Macaroni Salad

Rob and Also celebrate our 17th anniversary tommorow. 17 years has gone by fast.

I leave you with these thoughts. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of the things not seen. Lets just take a while and chew on that though for a bit.

Faith in something not seen=evidence....something you can see.

What is the substance and evidence that identifies you with YHWH, the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?

Shabbat Shalom!

Adventures?

I think it has a been a little long since my last post. Things have not been to adventurous here in Iwakuni. I think we're at the point of dealing with the culture shock really. These things just take time.

And while we have not had many Japanese adventures we have had some spiritual ones. I finally began Torah studies with the girls today. Brittany was a little disappointed about not attending a local VBS here so I decided I would do Torah School. Only It will last much longer than a week. I was thinking along the lines of the rest of our lives! So we began with talking a bit about why YHWH gave the Torah and ended our discussion with Psalm 1. Certainly appropriate indeed.

Psalm 1:1,2,3 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the cousel of the ungodly, not standeth in the way of sinners nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the Law of YHWH. And in His Law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf shall not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper

May YHWH help us to learn his ways and grow to be like that tree.

Stephani Started art classes last week. She has spent the afternoon painting with watercolers.
