Reflections after spending some time at an older person's home watching the birds.    Matthew 6:25-34 Names of God Bible (NOG) Stop Worrying 25 “So I tell you to stop worrying about what you will eat, drink, or wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothes? 26 “Look at the birds. They don’t plant, harvest, or gather the harvest into barns. Yet, your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they? 27 “Can any of you add a single hour to your life by worrying? 28 “And why worry about clothes? Notice how the flowers grow in the field. They never work or spin yarn for clothes. 29 But I say that not even Solomon in all his majesty was dressed like one of these flowers. 30 That’s the way God clothes the grass in the field. Today it’s alive, and tomorrow it’s thrown into an incinerator. So how much more will he clothe you people who have so little faith? 31 “Don’t ever worry and say, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’ 32 Everyone

So where did Valentine's Day come from? "Later, Pope Gelasius I muddled things in the 5th century by combining St. Valentine's Day with Lupercalia to expel the pagan rituals. But the festival was more of a theatrical interpretation of what it had once been. Lenski adds, "It was a little more of a drunken revel, but the Christians put clothes back on it. That didn't stop it from being a day of fertility and love."1. Exodus 20:2-6 Names of God Bible (NOG) 2 “I am Yahweh your Elohim, who brought you out of slavery in Egypt. 3 “Never have any other god. 4 Never make your own carved idols or statues that represent any creature in the sky, on the earth, or in the water. 5 Never worship them or serve them, because I, Yahweh your Elohim, am El Kanna. I punish children for their parents’ sins to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me. 6 But I show mercy to thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my commandments.   Deuteronomy 12:31 Names of God Bible (NOG) 31 Never worship Yahweh your Eloh

Deuteronomy 14:2 Names of God Bible (NOG) 2 You are people who are holy to Yahweh your Elohim. Out of all the people who live on earth, Yahweh has chosen you to be his own special possession.

Matthew 7:6 Names of God Bible (NOG) Don’t Throw Pearls to Pigs 6 “Don’t give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls to pigs. Otherwise, they will trample them and then tear you to pieces.

What makes us part of Israel? When we follow/fulfill the commandments of the Father.   John 14:15-21 Names of God Bible (NOG) 15 “If you love me, you will obey my commandments. 16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper who will be with you forever. 17 That helper is the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, because it doesn’t see or know him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be in you. 18 “I will not leave you all alone. I will come back to you. 19 In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. You will live because I live. 20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me and that I am in you. 21 Whoever knows and obeys my commandments is the person who loves me. Those who love me will have my Father’s love, and I, too, will love them and show myself to them.” Deuteronomy 4:1-6 Names of God Bible (NOG) Moses Reminds Israel to Be Loyal to the Lord 4 Israel, listen to the laws and rules I am about to teach you. Obey t

BirthRight Blessing Ann was a model of the Birthright Blessing.   Birthright blessing is a concept we see in the bible where the inheritance of the Father went to the son that had the father's heart.  The one that was about His Father's business and not his own self interest. The one that was interested in pursuing the building of God’s promises and His kingdom over his  own self interest. The Birthright blessing can be seen in Jacob. Jacob was about the affairs of his father and the affairs of God, so was Joseph. While their brothers were only interested in their own self interest and personal gains.  Jacob and Joseph were about doing the will of their Heavenly Father. Ann was like Jacob. She was not like Esau.  Ann wants us, those left behind in her legacy, to be like Jacob and not like Esau.  You see Esau was not interested in the blessings from God. His mind was on the flesh, what he could fill his stomach with and how he could provide for himself with his own two hands. Ann was about her Father's Busi

When you have a loved one that is on death's door you must not tarry.  Make it happen, go see them, visit, and or call.  Consider recording their voice or take a video of the stories they have to say.    Pray for them to make peace with Yahuah, and loved ones. That they say "I love you" to the people that matter the most. Pray that they make restitution for any wrongs they have caused.  1 Corinthians 15:55 Names of God Bible (NOG) 55 Death, where is your victory?     Death, where is your sting?”   Matthew 9:23-26 Names of God Bible (NOG) 23 Yeshua came to the synagogue leader’s house. He saw flute players and a noisy crowd. 24 He said to them, “Leave! The girl is not dead. She’s sleeping.” But they laughed at him. 25 When the crowd had been put outside, Yeshua went in, took her hand, and the girl came back to life. 26 The news about this spread throughout that region.    

When does the New Year really begin?  Does it really begin in the middle of the new year? When we have the least amount of sunlight, cold, and everything is dead.  Find out when the year really is to begin.     Exodus 12 Names of God Bible (NOG) Passover 12 Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, 2 “This month will be the very first month of the year for you.    Leviticus 23:5 Names of God Bible (NOG) The Spring Festivals 5 “The fourteenth day of the first month, in the evening, is Yahweh’s Passover.

Genesis 1:1-4 Names of God Bible (NOG) The Creation 1 In the beginning Elohim created heaven and earth. 2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep water. The Ruach Elohim was hovering over the water. 3 Then Elohim said, “Let there be light!” So there was light. 4 Elohim saw the light was good. So Elohim separated the light from the darkness.

Romans 1:26-27 Names of God Bible  26 For this reason God allowed their shameful passions to control them. Their women have exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 Likewise, their men have given up natural sexual relations with women and burn with lust for each other. Men commit indecent acts with men, so they experience among themselves the punishment they deserve for their perversion.

Matthew 5:17-48 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) 17 “Don’t think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete. 18 Yes indeed! I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not so much as a yud or a stroke will pass from the Torah — not until everything that must happen has happened. 19 So whoever disobeys the least of these mitzvot and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness is far greater than that of the Torah-teachers and P’rushim, you will certainly not enter the Kingdom of Heaven! 21 “You have heard that our fathers were told, ‘Do not murder,’[a] and that anyone who commits murder will be subject to judgment. 22 But I tell you that anyone who nurses anger against his brother will be subject to judgment; that whoever calls his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing!’ will be brought before the Sa

This is a brief version of why I had to leave the education field.   The photo is from a field trip to an art museum. After the Curator explained it was about aliens and UFO's.    

Exodus 20:4 King James Version (KJV) 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

What is a redneck?   Where our forefathers kind of Redneck at times?

Call no man Rabbi! Matthew 23:8     But you are a chosen people,  the King’s (Priest)cohanim,  a holy nation ,  a people for God to possess! Why? In order for you to declare the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9 CJB

The story of Joseph is a good representation of how the Trinity works.  The Pharaoh represents the father and how he gave all power and authority to Joseph.  For all practical purposes, Joseph becomes the Pharaoh on earth.  Whatever Joseph said was the same as the Pharaoh.  He was given all authority in Egypt and there was only one greater. Joseph also represents a vehicle of salvation, saving the known world from starvation.   Isaiah 9:5-7 Names of God Bible (NOG) 5 Every warrior’s boot marching to the sound of battle     and every garment rolled in blood         will be burned as fuel in the fire. 6 A child will be born for us.     A son will be given to us.     The government will rest on his shoulders.     He will be named:         Wonderful Counselor,         Mighty God,         Everlasting Father,         Sar Shalom. 7 His government and peace will have unlimited growth.     He will establish David’s throne and kingdom.     He will uphold it with justice and righteousness now and forever.     Yahweh Ts

If it was meant to be changed to another day, don’t you think it would have been denoted in the red words of Jesus? Wouldn’t He have said, “You have heard that the Sabbath was on Saturday, from now on it will be Sunday, or whatever day you want to make it, amen!” Since that seems so consistent to the body of the text. He spends THOUSANDS of years saying KEEP the Torah and you will be blessed. Don’t do as the Pagans do, do what I ask you to do, exactly in detail to what I have ask. The Bible paints a pretty clear picture of what happens to people that do just whatever they feel like because it seemed right in their own eyes.

We must learn to be more like Jacob and less like Esau as we learn to walk in the Favor and protection of our Father.   Psalm 91:14-16 NOG 14 Because you love me, I will rescue you.     I will protect you because you know my name. 15 When you call to me, I will answer you.     I will be with you when you are in trouble.     I will save you and honor you. 16 I will satisfy you with a long life.     I will show you how I will save you.     John 14:15 Names of God Bible (NOG) 15 “If you love me, you will obey my commandments.
