Well, I didn’t quite make it, it would seem. Working with technology is always a challenge, even if you have some idea what you are doing. Perhaps, even more so because you are more likely to try things that are supposed to work. It was time to wipe the hard…
Many of us probably witnessed or took part in the Blessing of the Little Children yesterday. Some groups do it at the Feast, as WCG did in its earlier days. As WCG grew, though, it became prohibitive to do all the children at one site, and by that time, many…
I have posted before about a series of David Asscherick, a Seventh Day Adventist, in order to compare and contrast. I have not yet seen the entire series, but they are educational. There is a YouTube video of part of his video on the Rapture. It is interesting, as I…
OK, this is more of a personal lesson from the Feast, as I was talking to someone who was very nice but announced suddenly, “I am a calendar.” OK, given his accent, I thought maybe I misunderstood him, so I asked him about it. “Oh? You haven’t heard that some…
Not long ago, I reported on the new NIV being worked on, and about how it will replace the TNIV, which many considered somewhat controversial because of it’s “political correctness”.

I almost didn’t comment on the MSNBC story “Official in interracial couple flap under fire”. After all, haven’t most of us moved beyond the whole antiquated notion that interracial marriage is a sin? If you think so, then you would be wrong. No, it appears that David Ben-Ariel wrote about…
It is a regular habit in our family to pray for peace and safety during our journey to and from the Feast as well as protection during it. You know what? We should be praying for that continually. Each week is a weekly feast called the Sabbath. We need to…
There are some very specific items I could take from the Feast, but I recently noticed that there are also some general items that all can learn from, no matter what Feast site they were with this year. There is a long dry spell between the Last Great Day and…
One of the Feast of Tabernacles messages I heard this year was about the symbolism of trees in Scripture. Of course, those of us over a certain age probably remember a white-haired man talking about the two trees in the Garden of Eden. There are other trees in Scripture, though,…
