We are safely home after making a trip that many people make around the world every day. A trip to say goodbye to Myra’s father while he was still able to be awake and attentive although very weak. We have spoken to many people who have waited until they receive the call that their loved one is passing and they all say they wish they had gone sooner. We didn’t wait and I know that he appreciated that. If you are wondering why she didn’t stay with him through this, she cared for her mother in theist months of her life and her father chose her sister to care for him in his last days.
Interesting question on why Dennis Prager is not a Christian? It is less than 5 minutes long.
One of the interesting answers that he gives is that he and other Jews have a problem with the claim that Jesus is Divine or that he is God. He doesn't have a problem with the claim that Jesus is the Messiah. My belief in God and the Messiah (Yeshua) also matches the Jewish understanding.

Thought for Today: Tuesday November 12
I am not perfect. I am never going to be perfect. And that is the great thing about living the believer’s life and trying to live by faith, is that you are trying to get better every day. You are trying to improve.
The fella in the picture is a very ancient false-deity from the fertile-crescent. He found his way to Europe and became one of the primary deities in their pantheon. When the Catholic church became the master of Europe and the very first western bibles were made on the new printing press, they allowed his name to usurp the name of YHWH, creator of heaven and earth. His name is “God.”
YHWH Himself has this to say about him:
“I have let Myself be inquired of, not by those who asked; I was found, not by those who sought Me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’ to a nation not calling on My Name. I have held out My hands all day long to a stubborn people, who walk in a way that is not excellent, after their own thoughts; the people who provoke Me continually to My face, who slaughter in gardens, and burn incense on altars of brick; who sit among the burial-sites, and spend the night in secret places, who eat flesh of pigs, and the broth of unclean meat is in their pots, who say, ‘Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am holier than thou to you!’ These are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day. See, it is written before Me: I am not silent, but shall repay, and I shall repay into their bosom, your crookednesses and the crookednesses of your fathers together,” said YHWH, “who burned incense on the mountains and reproached Me on the hills. And I shall measure their former work into their bosom.” Thus said YHWH, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one shall say, ‘Do not destroy it, for there is blessing in it,’ so I do for My servants’ sake, not to destroy them all. “And I shall bring forth a seed from Ya’aqov, and from Yehudah an heir of My mountains. And My chosen ones shall inherit it, and My servants dwell there. And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the Valley of Akor a place for herds to lie down, for My people who have sought Me. But you are those who forsake YHWH, who forget My set-apart mountain, who prepare a table for God, and who fill a drink offering for Meni. And I shall allot you to the sword, and let you all bow down to the slaughter, because I called and you did not answer, I spoke and you did not hear, and you did evil before My eyes and chose that in which I did not delight.”
