I sang in a concert last night for a CD I did with some folks from a church.  All the proceeds from the CD go towards a shower trailer for some of the homeless people who live in the city near the church.  It was a lot of fun!  We ended the set with some…

Joy!

I haven’t posted here in a couple of days for a couple of reasons.  Yesterday was Sabbath.  But Friday was my birthday!  And I got a great gift from YHWH – I finally started working at my new school!  So, I got the gift of a paycheck (eventually) and benefits (even more eventually).  I have…

Psalm 16:11 You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. The first part of this verse is the same word repeated: make know make known to me the path of live alive…  There is emphasis on knowing this…

Pre-School Jitters

Psalm 94:18-19 “When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your love, O LORD, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.” School officially starts tomorrow and, like many teachers, there is great anxiety about the upcoming year – will our students be good?  Will we be able to…
