“You Have Enemies? Good.”

“You Have Enemies? Good.”

Posted on December 12, 2022December 5, 202210 Comments on “You Have Enemies? Good.”

The title of this blog is the email title that I received from Blake Guichet, someone that I follow on social media. It made me stop and read her email. The quote comes from Winston Churchill, “You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life”. As believers, we have … Continue reading “You Have Enemies? Good.”

When I was a new mother (my daughter was probably a couple of months old), I was changing her diaper, when I looked down at her and saw a line of blood on her face! As any mother would, I totally freaked out and realized that I had cut her with my diamond engagement ring. … Continue reading Scarred But Beautiful

If you haven’t read the first two blogs, don’t worry, as each is a stand-alone piece but, each blog adds another perspective to the topic of confession.

Today’s blog is another segment to the “True Confessions” blog. If you haven’t read the first blog, don’t worry, as each is a stand-alone piece but, each blog adds another perspective to the topic of confession.  The room filled up and soon there was nowhere to sit, so this couple came and asked if they … Continue reading True Confessions – Part Two

As we were driving to board our long-awaited retirement cruise, our friend Bob prayed for us in the car. He prayed that God would bring divine appointments to us. These next three blogs are a result of that prayer! It began when we met a couple, and soon all four of us were engaged in … Continue reading True Confessions

Anger Management

I am blessed to have two sisters. They are as different as night and day but, they are both an essential part of my life. In this month’s parsha, “Chukat”, we read of Moses’ sister Miriam in Numbers 20:1, “Then the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came to the wilderness of Zin in the … Continue reading Anger Management

God Is Obsessed With Us

Posted on June 13, 2022June 9, 20224 Comments on God Is Obsessed With Us

My friend Bob gave a great commentary on the Torah portion, Bamidbar. The book of Bamidbar (In the wilderness) or Numbers begins with a census, counting and making order. The point that Bob made that captivated me was his example of having collections of loved items, when he was young, that would give him enjoyment. … Continue reading God Is Obsessed With Us

The last time we had a garden was in Marietta, Georgia. The soil was deep red clay which stained your hands, your clothes and anything else that it came into contact with. We worked hard to grow some vegetables in our little patch of ground. As we approach Shavuot in just a few days, I … Continue reading Ruth the Expert Farmer

We were at a family gathering when my cousin Millie’s two sons (giant oak trees) pointed to a chair and said, “Doña please sit”. Doña I repeated, did he just call me Doña? I’m not old why would he call me Doña? This term of Doña (Spanish title) was first used as respect for the head of a landowner (Don) and … Continue reading From Deadhead to Grayhead

Every year, at this time, I dread the Florida heat. It is so hot that it feels like you’re in a furnace, and the only place of refuge is any place that has air conditioning. Whatever you do, don’t walk on the sidewalk without your shoes! During the hottest period of the summer, in Florida … Continue reading The Blazing Furnace
