Since leaving Christianity, I have had many discussions with other Christians. Somewhere in the talks they will bring up how Jesus/Yeshua changed their life and how he delivered them from some kind of vise, like, alcohol, drugs or so on.

Just a Thought
Most of my blogs follow more of a teaching, informing style, this one is from my own thoughts and imagination with no teaching intended. I stand and look through the window of the world and spirituality as someone who is curious and some things are very interesting while others are disturbing. The more I learn, …
Jew and Gentile
This blog was inspired by a friend’s thread on Facebook, although I have been wanting to write on the subject for a long while, this thread helped me put some things in order to be able to write on it. The subject of this blog is about the responsibilities between Israel and the nations. There …
There is more to the story
While reading Rabbi Shalom Arush’s book, Say “Thank You” and See Miracles - The Garden of Miracles, he wrote in something in it that caused me to stop and ponder a bit more on what Noah must have gone through when he was told about the Flood and up to the time he and his …
The Source
This blog was inspired by Rabbi Lazer Brody’s Cd, Dollars and Sense. Even though the Cd is directed to a Jewish audience, I was instructed that non-Jews have to do some editing to apply Jewish resources to our lives.

Taking A Closer Look
Here recently I have begun to take a closer look at what is being said in Genesis 9 and the Seven Commandments of the Creator. Sometimes I find myself lost in the world of one word or phrase of a verse. I am one who will dig the meaning of things out; I have many …
A Question We All Should Ask
In my personal reading I came across a verse of scripture that has caused me to ask a question. Personally, I think that every person of the non-Jewish nations should ask. In truth, there are several verses that fall in a similar situation; but, for this blog, I will deal with the one verse. Let …
Psalm 145
Everyone that knows me, knows that Psalm 145 is one of my favorite chapters. For me it says it all and I go back to it very often. In the Hebrew it contains 150 words, it is a culmination of all the Psalms. The tenth verse of this Psalm has been on my mind lately. …
