Okay, update on my site. The website is up and running again. The store is completely gone and may have been what caused the crash. I'll be switching to a new shopping cart software as quick as I can, and will reschedule a sale then. Thank you so much for your patience!
Oh, and my washing machine made some really hideous sounds today, so we'll be pulling out the washboard for a bit!
How was your day?
When reading the KJV and other older English Bibles, we need to keep in mind that the original text must undergo 2 translations before it can be understood: Once from Greek and Hebrew into early Modern English, and again from early Modern English into our own dialects.

"Our Father and our King, in these troubled days we pray for peace in the name of the Prince of Peace, Yeshua our Messiah.
God of grace and mercy, may your protection be upon the Ukrainian people in this time of trial, especially upon the most vulnerable, which includes many Jewish people, as well as countless children, elderly people, and other non-combatants. Give wisdom and direction to the leaders of Ukraine as they respond to this invasion. Guide other world leaders, especially those in the United States, into ways of responding with appropriate force and decisiveness. May the plans of Russia’s leadership be reversed, and may their power and hold over the Russian people be dismantled, as it is written: “The ruler’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will” (Prov 21:1).
May you in your mercy hold back the forces of chaos and violence that are mounting in the world today. Wherever there is oppression and suffering, may your Spirit bring hope. Be with all who call upon your name and enable us all as makers of peace and bearers of hope. And may there be fulfilled soon and in our days the words of the prophet, “Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more” (Isa 2:4)." Amen and Amen...
The Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations
I'm not sharing this post for the self promotion, but because I whole heartedly agree with everything Peter said and this is important. We have to build groups/tribes so that we can stand together through these times.
Yah's PURPOSE for rising prices and increased pressure us to FORCE His people to come together. The crushing that happens in a mortar and pestal is to blend the substances.
Right now, kol Israel is being forced into a place where we will come together and learn to function as a family. Yah has long extended us the grace of freely coming together, but because so many refuse to willfully, He will now break us down through much more difficult times...
If I may recommend several groups that need to grow and get active:
* Homesteading Tip and Tricks group to help with PERSONAL food security
* Communities to Clans to Tribes group to help share lessons, patterns, helps, etc in Community/Clan building
* Economic Development and Shop Owners groupS designed to help create and build NATIONAL ( kol Israel!) economy and networking.
* join your REGIONAL/STATE group to network, share resources, etc..
TTN is and can be so much MORE than a place to share meme's, 'Shabbat Shaloms', and teaching videos. This is a HUGE resource and TOOL that Rhy Bezuidenhout has had the vision for. (And, since our 'free' is costing him to build/support, may I recommend joining as a monthly or annual supporter? See membership info! Invest in YOUR future... ?)
Rant over. Love you guys, so glad to see some getting the larger vision for what we have here.

...if anyone utters with his lips a rash oath to do evil or to do good, any sort of rash oath that people swear, and it is hidden from him, when he comes to know it, and he realizes his guilt in any of these...
Leviticus 5:4
This is talking about accidental oaths and vows. "How is it possible to make an accidental or unknown oath" you ask?
