The first stood tall, his shoulders squared, and he was dressed in delicate garments crisp and clean. Next to him stood a … More Tetzaveh and Vengeance
I am still transferring old blogs from my prior site Obadiah’s Cave. There have been many talented writers on my mother’s side of the family. I have several cousins who are very creative with a pen, and aunts and uncles alike who have written beautiful songs, poems, and stories. I’ve often heard that the Loy’s … More My Aunt Sophia’s Poetry

I found the poem at the end of this blog in an old email or note box on my phone. It was jotted down in September of 2019, and it’s a beach poem I wrote while visiting Florida. Now we are here. So strange to read it and remember the journey of how it happened. … More Pink Flamingos and Prophetic Sand
Part 1 One is a Good Number Most people who have studied the Bible are familiar with the men at the tombs who were demon-possessed.

We are coming into the season of trees (Tu B’shevat) and looking at fruit. We go to the grocery, and we squeeze and inspect avocadoes before we buy them.

Moses picks up his staff and continues moving his father-in-law’s sheep along the rugged terrain. He has been doing this for 40 years, and it has been therapeutic and back-breaking.
