THE FINAL TISHA B’AV
I was asked a question the other day about the timing of the Jewish holidays. This morning I woke up with a thought on my mind which has been on my mind for quite a few years. My thought is captured in an expression. That expression is the title of this blog post, “The Final […]
BLESSING
Let me start by saying something about my process. Blogging for me is a thought process. It begins with a thought, often just a single word. It begins with something I want to think about, rather than something I want to say. For me, when I am blogging (writing an article I intend to post […]
I GIVE THANKS
With my Dad’s first year yarzeit is coming up a week from today, this news was poignant. Dan McGrath, only 61, the Emmy-winning writer and producer known for his work on The Simpsons, King of the Hill and more, died on November 14, 2025, in Brooklyn, New York, after suffering a stroke. Through consistent storytelling, […]
MY PREDICTION IS RIPE
MY PREDICTION IS RIPE November 2011 My predictions tend to be 5 years early. That would suggest that this prediction in November 2021 might be ripe for happening in 2026.This video starts off with the possibility of an economic crisis due to our national debt. That leads to a greater societal crisis which paints a […]
PRIDE – GOOD OR BAD?
Back in May, my wife and I celebrated our 40th anniversary. If I have learned one thing, it’s that men have a problem with pride. We have to be able to kick our pride to curb or it will run us over. And when a woman hurts her man’s pride, that is about the worst […]

NOTE: There is another Hebrew word for “one” that is used too through the […]
LOOKING FOR MEANING
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom” and “Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances”.

BORN INTO EXILE
Habakkuk 2:2 — And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it. The other day, someone I love, who wanted to wish me a happy birthday, asked me, “How do I say happy birthday in Hebrew?” He got me thinking and when […]
PARALLELS
Joshua 2:1 esv — And Joshua the son of Nun sent two men secretly from Shittim as spies, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” I have found that when you see one parallel in scripture, look for more. Keep looking because the bible is deep like the sea and high like a mountain. […]
Divine Threads: From Jacob’s Womb to the End of Days – A Shepherd’s Tale Unraveled
Hey friends, it’s me—your fellow pilgrim on this wild journey through Scripture. Lately, I’ve been peering through what I can only call “spiritual eyes,” the kind that make the Bible feel less like a dusty anthology and more like a living heartbeat, pulsing with one grand story. It’s the kind of vision that turns casual […]
