Normally this time of year, my migraines are so bad I cant move or eat. This year, so far, Yah has blessed me with mild migraines so I can do some things. I got the gardening itch last week because I saw bees and butterflies struggling to find flowers. Thankfully, Yah has blessed them with clover flowers this week. Next year, they will hopefully have several phlox clusters to harvest, and one russian sage bush. They are all supposed to be deer & rabbit resistant, and the squirrels lost interest in the phlox roots after digging one up. The deer trimmed some of my sunchokes, but havent bothered the ones on the patio this year, so maybe theyll get tall enough to bloom this year. Sunchokes like being trimmed back...it puts more into the tubers. There were other little things I accomplished this week, but overall, feel like I actually participated in life for a change! Thank you Yah for easing my migraines! I hope everyone is able to persevere through their own personal challenges and praise Yah even if they feel held back. Have a blessed shabbat, everyone! Weve all earned it in some manner or another.

SHABBAT SHALOM TORAH FAMILY
Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives? For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage. Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.
Romans 7:1-3 ESV
Related passages from the Old Testament (re the High Priest and levirate marriage) as well as the Greek word for a woman "which has a husband" (KJV) in v2 shed significant light on Paul's meaning in this passage. Here's a hint: It does not say that the Law dies or that the commandments in the Law are not for all Christians today. It's about authority relationships, not the applicability of Torah.
Here's another hint: "Under the Law" does not mean "required to keep the Law". It means "enslaved to the Law" or "subjected the Law's power to condemn".
We, the redeemed, are not slaves to the Law. Like the Sabbath, the Law was made for man, not man for the Law. It is a guide to help us conform our behavior to God's standards, not a task master to beat us into submission.
