LEAP DAY Clean Up

Good Day all readers of Today’s Word and Greetings from Zimbabwe,

Some important things have happened since my last general letter, things that I think you will want to know.

First, the good news. We have been tracking unique visitors to the web site for a long time and it appears that we are attracting more than 21,000 individual visitors each month who have not been to the site before. Moreover, almost half of the visitors read through an average of 2-3 pages after they land on the site. What this means is that the web site is positively assisting more than 11,000 people a month in the investigation of the Hebraic worldview. This is really good news. Your faithfulness means we are making a big difference.  Thank you.

Secondly, we continue to serve the community with education, personal seminars, household and community direct aid and other actions. We are not letting people fall through the cracks. That’s important. This is a safe place to ask questions and be vulnerable. It is also a place of compassion.  Even today I will be teaching about the wonder of God in the midst of the wonder of His creation.

Thirdly, we have done all this basically by word of mouth. We don’t advertise. We are well below the radar. We are simply doing what God instructs us to do. Wow!  I am so grateful.

But a few other things have become apparent. Between 2014 and 2015 we lost more than 150 steady donors. I won’t speculate about the reasons. It just shows that we have to pay attention. For a long time now, I have been concerned that the community of At God’s Table is changing. Year over year I have noticed that many people no longer offer their “fruit” to the others at this table. And it’s time to address this.

Mark, my wonderful tech support person, tells me that At God’s Table can increase its presence among those searching for an understanding of the Hebraic worldview by three to four fold with the management of social media strategies. Unfortunately, this effort takes time and money. I have neither right now. If we are going to do this, something will have to change.  You can think about this with me.

I am also concerned that the concept “fruit” isn’t being fully utilized. The biblical idea of fruit is simple. Each person does what he or she is supposed to do for everyone else, and because all are sharing their particular fruit, everyone eats well. Of course, if some trees are no longer bearing, even Yeshua says, “Cut them down.” I’m afraid that’s what we must do. At God’s Table is, as far as I know, the only cyber community in the world that actually operates on the principle of “fruit.” I want to keep it that way. The fact that we are affecting thousands of new people each month means that we must also have inner integrity. So, we are going to cut down some unproductive trees. In the next few weeks we will remove all those who were once sharing fruit but no longer seem to do so. If you have been eating your own fruit for awhile, it’s time to either share or be left behind. No malice toward you but as a community we have other things to do.

I hope this will spur you to consider what a difference you make—and can make—to those who are searching. Once more the message is the same. Commit. Do something about this. It’s time.

Y’all, I can only speak for myself, here, but I think I can say that if you want to get something real out of anything, you have to put something real in. That seems to be a principle of the Kingdom, which is to say, that is how reality operates. I know that I personally need something from the presence of all, but, even more than that, I need who you really are to make my life complete. If you hold out and do not share of yourself, I still starve, here, and I don’t think I am speaking just for myself, either! This is the vulnerability of community.

I know there are cyber concerns: I have them too, but consider the statistics that you are much more likely to get in a car accident than you are to suffer repercussions from revealing your presence in cyberspace, especially this site, but I think most everyone still gets up and gets in their car. This is a protected site, and, further, Skip retains a good grip on his control over what happens here. If you go back and read the blog over the past years, I think you can see that.

I know I say a lot here, but it is not because I enjoy the empty echoes of my voice. I speak because I want to solicit a conversation! I put out what I know I need to have back, but you know what people say: you have to be the change you want to see in the world. Even if it is a little, sharing your resources, self and time can make all the difference in the life of another, and there is a blessing attached to all of it. The only thing you have to lose is your silence and your need to be blessed! Thank you for blessing me.

Inetta

Amen Laurita! Nothing worth obtaining is free, it will cost you something! This community is valuable to me & and obviously to thousands of others! Thanks to all of you who share and are vulnerable and thank you Skip for being the most vulnerable by starting the conversation! Thank you Mark for your technical expertise! May we all share our fruit and be well fed! Shalom to all!

What an amazing week! As we journey through scripture our Yetser hatov draws on the storehouse of memories contained in Christ while our Yetser hara is comparing them to all it’s “life” experiences. Community, family, people, responsibilities past failures all in play.

Moses love for his people is tested and he responds in love and intercession. I can barely touch all the emotional spaces…but we have all week…Moses comes down and sees that his people have replaced him with a golden calf…that stunning moment when he must have realized oh no…I’ve done it again…the pain oh the pain of remembrance of failing God. To suddenly realize he was their Idol and the recent memory of trust and love on the mountain top immediately confronted by the older memories of pain and failure.

Then to succumb to the pain and anger and smash the living stones, the gift from heaven perhaps the trans dimensional and trans generational plan to establish God’s government on earth…SMASH!! To touch all the self-doubt, guilt, fear and pain of past failures in responsibility and perhaps agree with the thoughts I am not worthy, I will not cause this pain again…classic yester hara…but SMASH none the less.

Then the pain of knowing it was your own brother whom has been with you in the thick of it all has failed you, the people and God. Ah but was he to blame or was it me who expected a responsibility from others whom were not yet ready or prepared. What to do, withdraw, stop feeding idolatry, return to sincerity return to God in sack cloth and ashes? Perhaps that is when the lyrics to a song in the 70’s were really penned…… getup, get up get back on your feet you’re the one they can’t beat and you know it, come on let’s see what you got… Styx Fooling Yourself

WOW! Part II This continues to resonate and confront me. Like Moses, I have been able to stay in love and intercession and in particular these last 3-4 weeks in intense groanings for the disconnect between what I can best describe as “disposable kids” and the “sons of God” . I say this in respect to the comments over the last week as this seems to be a current and common place of intercession.

Now the hard part, like Moses I may have passed the first test of love in prayer before God but when I step back into life and the pain and fear of the pain of past failure screams I am quick to judge and to cut off those who can’t profess being on God’s side and like Moses; call for those who are on Gods side and use the sword to kill those who are not yet able to profess and commit. Even brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers.

I thank God I can see this and experience this in scripture and in Christ and both renounce and repent for the extent to which I have done so and served “sin” in serving the fear and pain of past failures.

And it’s only Monday….

And we’re just another piece of the puzzle,
Just another part of the plan,
How one live touches the other,
Is so hard to understand.
Still we walk this road together,
We try and go as far as we can,
And we have waited for this moment in time,
Ever since the world began.

Mark Randall

Hello Stephen

With all due respect, I would ask you or anyone else to not post external links in their comments. It adds what’s called a “pingback” to the site. I’ll spare you the technical details but just ask that you don’t do it.

Please, either leave a description of where someone can go to see what you’re wanting them to see or ask Skip to post them for you because then it can be done properly, which requires admin privileges.

Thank you!

Gayle Johnson

Thanks for this reminder, Mark. I have posted links without thinking about that. I appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

Stephen C

Thank you Mark I was unaware.

Tami

Hi Skip. I want to make sure I understand the last paragraph correctly, will those who don’t comment on here be removed from receiving the daily word or is it those who don’t contribute financially?

Dot Olsen

I also would appreciate clarification. I do not speak here a lot, and finances are quite limited and haven been directed elsewhere, but I share Skip’s work all over FB and try to be of service that way.

Roy W Ludlow

I remember when I first became acquainted with Today’s Word, it was just going through a pruning of “membership.” Did not seem to slow things down a bit. There are many times that I just do not have words to say, or my thoughts are not flowing in the directions of others who have commented. So I say nothing, just like in a verbal group. Out of respect for other speakers, I do not try to shake things up. So for much of the time, I am speechless. I also recognize that I am usually much to “Western” to fit smoothly into the flow. But I am still here, still reading, still thinking and who knows when I will get moved (in all that could mean).

Craig Borden

This ministry has GREATLY impacted my life; I share it often “out there” in my realm. Frankly i don’t always do so “in here.” While I find restraint of tongue and pen/keyboard is often a worthwhile endeavor for me, I will opinionate that for me, the longer or more often the comment(s), the less it will be read by others or lead to interaction.

Thomas Elsinger

This is the time of the year when I do the pruning of our fruit trees, grape vines, berry bushes, and rose bush. It’s time-consuming. Sometimes it’s bewildering. It can be painful. And it is a time when I do a lot of thinking. Pruning is good. It’s absolutely essential for proper management and flower and fruit development. People in general in this country have grown so far from the land that Yeshua’s stories about pruning don’t carry the weight they should. You’re going in the right direction, Skip.

Mark

Something to consider are those who gain from the teachings here on this site and share it with others outside the ‘At God’s Table’ group. While I understand the desire to grow an online community that can help and encourage each other, we shouldn’t remove those who don’t feel a strong connection with faceless people online but rather a strong connection to the teachings themselves, especially when those same people are inspired to share this with others beyond the reach of ‘At God’s Table’.

If Skip is just looking to cut those who aren’t bearing ‘fruit’ I’d be careful… just because you don’t see the ‘fruit’ here online doesn’t mean fruit isn’t being produced. I can also claim that if this online community is restricting the fruit to be shared only within this community then we’re ‘eating our own fruit’ as well.

But if this post is using the word ‘fruit’ as a metaphor for ‘money’, then I understand. Let’s just call it money. This site could use more donations and money from people who are gleaning teachings here. Period.

James

Well said Mark.

carol mattice

Hi Skip…I think I understand what you are saying.
I read constantly that which is upon this wall of yours and others but I am not in the same league of expression.
God is working in me and for me but again, with all that is being said I find it hard to express my humble opinion in the light of others who are FULL of words .
I am NOT afraid of being silent in growth but you must do what you feel you must do.
Carol in the wings.

Tanya Predoehl

I rarely contribute to the comments. It’s not that I don’t want to. The TW’s stir up many things in me that provoke a desire to add to the comments. When I do comment it’s short. I’m not a great writer. The words don’t flow out of me like they do in normal face to face conversation. It takes me a long time to put my thoughts together in writing. One time years ago I did write something more lengthy. It was was misunderstood. That happened early in my TW participation. It zapped my confidence to jump in with both feet. I didn’t have the time or the writing ability to untangle the misunderstanding. So I became more cautious. The TW’s have continued to be important to me personally. And provoke a lot of great conversations in my faith community with whom I’m regularly sharing TW’s with. Six of those people came with me to the Tacoma seminar and bought a lot of books.
Skip, your work has greatly impacted how I live out my faith, producing fruit that’s being eaten in my real neighborhood. I hope you don’t cut me off. I can’t give as much $ as I used to. I have recently gone through a divorce and was without employment or savings for quite sometime. In the coming weeks I hope to be able to contribute something financially on a regular basis.

Michael C

Your words sound like pretty darn good writing to me! 🙂

Tanya Predoehl

Thanks for the affirmation. I always appreciate hearing what you have to say in the comments. It often resonates with what’s going on inside of me. I prayed for you through the difficult days of caring for your father. I remember some of the struggles you shared here in the TW’s. I have become the caregiver for my mother. She is a believer with a cheerful disposition but losing her mind and is more child than adult. On the really hard days sometimes I encourage myself by thinking, at least my mothers cheerfully losing her marbles : ) This is nothing compared to what Michael went through.

Michael C

Thank you for your prayers regarding my Dad. Now you and your Mom have mine. While I thought the experience would never end and he would actually out live me and my wife, it is over now. The end does come for us all eventually. One day, the only day we have, at a time. Also, my wife must surely be considered in the experience as she witnessed my challenges daily and also struggled with it. Shalom and Blessings to you, your Mom and your family. Make it through today and you possibly could have another day to figure out how to please YHVH tomorrow. You will know when it comes. Persevers to the end, dear sister. Seek help when and where you can. There is no shame in it. I wish I could ‘babysit’ for you to give you some relief that I’m sure you would welcome. Eat, drink, love, obey. Life is pretty much congealed in these few simply things. 🙂

Karen

Hi, I receive Skip’s emails every night and I look forward to reading every one of them, so much awesome insight on the Hebrew worldview. Can you please clarify what I should do to remain on the list to receive the emails? I’d hate to be pruned because your words are impacting me greatly and helping me through a difficult time of life . Thank you!

Wayne

I echo the sediments of those prior posts that question the meaning of fruit. My prideful self wants to accept your challenge an invite you to dump me.
I do so enjoy reading your insightful posts but tire from those who continually reiterate what you’ve said and find that they have stolen any zeal I may have had to add to their voluminous posts.
You have succeeded in providing much to meditate on and have given me a view of scripture that would have never discovered on my own and to that end I thank you.
If fruit is also financial support, I am guilty. I buy a book or a download occasionally but have chosen not to pick the battle that would ensue if I attempted to contribute on a regular basis. My wife and I do not share the same zeal for your teaching and the book of yours I provided her was not well received. I’ve no doubt a seed was planted but know unequivocally that she does not now, or ever intend to visit this website.
Perhaps you don’t feel the need to come out and state exactly what you mean by ‘fruit’, after all, I suspect we are bright enough to figure that out.

Lo

Skip, your words add value to my life every single day but today I do not fully understand your message. I want to understand the heart behind your words. Are you simply asking for more financial support? Would purchasing your excellent caliber writings be helpful? Are you asking for more participation in this comment section? Are you asking for activation of our spiritual gifting on behalf of your ministry at our local level?
How can you measure fruit when each one is at a unique place on the journey? Are those who are not in a position to bear as much fruit as others in danger of being cast out? Please help us understand what you are seeking so that we may support you better but not fear that you are angry with us…

Donita waldron

So eloquently put..I agree with you…I understand my Bible more because of Skip!

Alicia

Don’t cut me down! I still read here, but I don’t always have time to comment. I have four kids under the age of ten, I homeschool, and nearly all of my resources – mental, emotional, financial – go into raising up these four children. I’ve also been in a fog of postpartum depression that I’m slowly clawing my way out of.

A few thoughts, though:

It’s sometimes difficult to post here on the blog, because of the format, and how comments and replies are often out of order.

Sometimes I’m also wary of the public nature of a blog. I understand the Internet is never truly private, but I have some spiritual struggles and questions that I would be far more willing to discuss or ask about in a private group setting. Like a Facebook group or a forum. The fact that my comments could come up for anyone with a simple Google search kinda weirds me out. I know there was a Yahoo group started but I find Yahoo groups to be really confusing.

I will make more of an effort to participate and donate as I can. I have been incredibly blessed by your teachings, Skip.

Graham

Hi Skip, I too am guilty of not supporting AGT financially, since I think that is what you are driving at. Your teaching and a few of your books have changed me as a member of the immediate community in which I live. I sow into people’s lives in a way in which I never did before. It is completely relevant and mostly based on direct relationships. In one case at least it amounts to nothing less than a lifeline to survival. In spite of the value in everything AGT does, I don’t think I should be redirecting these funds. Do you? I absolutely do not want to be removed from this group, your teaching has nourished and challenged me and in this I have just been taking. And I thank you for all you have so consistently given. You have helped me to become a giver, I have just not been giving back in. If this is a prerequisite then I will do so. Graham

Tami

I enjoy the daily word also and I am learning a lot but don’t comment at all because I’m very new to learning the Hebrew view of the Scriptures and what I’ve just read is blowing my mind and I am just trying to digest it all and don’t know how to put what I’m learning in words . I just read the book Guardian Angel last year and currently reading volume 1 of the Spiritual Restoration series because of that contribution I started receiving the daily word. If you have certain financial amounts you need users to contribute to continue to receive the daily word let us know I’m willing. I understand ministry financial needs and want to help if I can. As I grow in my learning of the Hebrew views of the Scriptures I hope to grow in commenting more out here. Thanks Skip for your work!

Luke

Skip, if you need money to keep this wonderful website going and to keep doing what you do so well, just let me know. You have my email. 🙂

Gabe

Most groups error on the side of over-inclusion. I haven’t contributed much lately, so I say this as a plausible trimmed limb, but kudos for going counter to the Roman way.

As a sidenote,… is there a reason I don’t get an e-mail anymore if someone replies to one of my comments?

Ester

Shalom Gabe! I have brought out this same question a few months back, that we receive emails whenever someone replies to our comments, but no more these days. That’s hard to follow if someone has responded to our comments, and we had no idea, and had no way to reply to it/them.
Hopefully Mark will give us a response.

Mark Randall

Hello Ester and Gabe

I didn’t really want to get into that on this thread but, the reason you don’t get emails from comments anymore is because we had to stop using the commenting system that was in place a few months ago because Skip was getting a couple thousand spam comments a day due to it.

It is something I’m looking into with the new website I building but, for now, I guess the only way to see if someone has replied is to come back and manually look.

It’s actually a complex issue. There are privacy concerns, security issues etc. And of course, how far should we go to build a custom commenting system. I say that because what may seem to be simple, could possibly take days or weeks of time and effort to make happen.

All that said, as I stated, We are looking into it.

Mark

Being this is a WordPress site, can you just use the plugin Akismet to help weed out spam comments?

Mark Randall

No, not even close. I’ve tried. Actually, we have to pay a yearly fee for a service to handle the spam and malicious bots.

Akismet is fine on a small normal site but, not on a blog like this one that gets over 20k visits a month. 2ok monthly visits can easily equate to 60,000 spam and bot comments a month. No way Akismet can deal with that.

Ester

Hello Mark, Appreciate your kind explanation. Was expecting it to be restored! JUST kidding!!! 🙂 Shalom, and thank you!

Mark Randall

Well, I’m not saying it won’t happen either.

I’ve been working on the new website but WordPress is coming out with some major updates on their next version so, it’s hard to tell right now. What you’re asking for can be done with plugins but, so far, all I see is more problems with them then they’re worth.

But, I haven’t given up on trying. I know full well how important it is to everyone to have a smooth easy flowing commenting system.

Ester

Good on you, Mark! Appreciate all the efforts you have put in here!
A big Thank You!

Pam

Hey MR….are you the MR I know :-)?

Donita waldron

I survive off of my disability pay while I’m in school…once I start working I can give more regularly…please forgive and let me stay…I do however understand your views…I know ministry costs as I too am in ministry…God bless.

Luzette

Whatever your donation or contribution is, whether money, service or prayer, make it available to the community. And in this cyber community every participant should feel free to ask for any kind of help – that is the risk I must take. Communal involvement depends on individual transparency and vulnerability. For positive feedback on how this works, we have evidence in the past.

Since Skip is in Zimbabwe with minimum internet access, we can perhaps find some answer in the “donation” link on the website:

“I Love To Write About God’s Word
But I don’t like to ask for support. In the last 10 years, I have only asked a few times. Now the worldwide community in 63 countries that reads Today’s Word is a real community, not merely a collection of readers. This is the reason for making some kind of commitment to support At God’s Table and Today’s Word. It isn’t about the money. It’s about

willingness.

What you decide to contribute is up to you. I only care that you are ready and willing to go forward with the rest of us. I care that you are responding to God’s leading and that you take active steps to demonstrate that response. It’s true that your financial support is what keeps me and this ministry going, but it’s your willingness that delights God.

If it’s in your heart to support At God’s Table and projects like roads in Ranquitte (see the video at the bottom of this page), help for girls in El Salvador, and financial help for many of the other readers of Today’s Word, then mazel tov!”

AnEk

Hi,
Skip’s teaching has changed my life. I’m so grateful.
Really want to be part but don’t know how to participate more than to donate when able to. Sorry to say I don’t know how to do to be part of the this. Since it’s open and enyone can read your messages it’s a bit difficult for me. Maybe I’m just too uninformed about how things like this works.

Lowell Hayes

My dad would come back to the house on our farm after he had milked the cow and see me still asleep in the bed. He would say in a loud voice “Wake up, get up do something. Don’t you know that people die in bed?” Sounds like the modern version of the tree that does not bear fruit gets cut down. I don’t think that he ever realized that he was resaying, with a southern translation, what Jesus had said.

Maureen

Dear Skip,
I know the whole world is going to social media, however are we in this movement world followers?. Facebook seems like a humongous waste of time. I am not a technical computer person and there may be reasons beyond my understanding technically of why you would want to do this. Since you are reaching as many people as you are, why go to social media. Also, if our Heavenly Father is growing the community will he not also provide for our needs as that community? I also need to reread about the pruning as I am not sure who is to prune. I remember it being our Messiah however when I reread Scripture with your insights it always is different than I originally learned. I so appreciate that. I do believe you are correct that we all need to share our fruit as no tree can eat it’s own fruit as there is only value if the fruit is given away. I guess I just would not want to be the person who determines who needs to be pruned.

Ester

Very encouraging to know… 21,000 individual visitors each month who have not been to the site before. Marvelous! A hunger not only for His Word, but for HIM in a real aspect through digging to understand, not from the surface of translated words only.

Bringing fruit to this community could simply meant some nuts, or snacks or sweets… if you catch what I meant. Just don’t come empty-handed. 🙂 Give what you can!
We pray and seek ABBA for those who may have left, due to whatever reasons/circumstances, to continue to hunger and dig into His word… to return to this fantastic site/blog/community! Amein!

Helen Cayley

Having recently communicated to Skip about my recent lack of financial contribution, I was about to give a donation simply as a ‘thank you’ for his willingness to respond to my thoughts. However, this post makes me feel it will look as if I am trying to buy inclusion, so I am fairly scuppered! As for contributing in writing, I am so unlearned and low in intellect that I feel I have nothing to add. I can only thank everyone else for being willing to share. Countless times I have been helped and supported through your words as I battle with the daily struggle to survive. And Skip, yet again I thank you for all the insights you have given to this small but hugely troubled brain. May you continue and be strengthened as the Father leads…

Maureen

With limited information as to your issues with the blog and website I am assuming that one issue may be to reduce the email list. If this is so, maybe send out an email and ask for folks to respond if they are still interested. If no reply, than they are pruned. If we have a need we individually go to the Father and ask, so why not ask and spell out what exactly is the need and ask the Today’s Word Community if they would like to participate in that project. Money for a new website to handle the load of activity on the site seems to be what is in question.

LaVaye Billings

Maureen, this sounds like a very practical and thoughtful way of handling this situation, and all within what “God’s Table” has always seemed to have taught, that lines up with the written word of the Lord. And not the “World’s System” of: YOU ARE OUT! Which seems to be so frightening to hear for many of the readers.
“Let us love one another”, I want to write to all, who can be hurt from this, perhaps even me, let us know that this is not the end of growth for us. God is still on His Throne and He cares for each of us! We are not stripped of His Writings, lots of resources available: Bibles of many description, even the mistranslation in some, will not harm anyone, if they are ” Seeking the Lord thy God with all their hearts, souls, minds,—and very inner being.”—
I give Thanksgiving for every single being of all the past tech men, women, workers, and the person who was given the ability-and himself has come through many trials, losses, and depressions, to have this web site. With God’s help and our seeking and searching, we will be valuable to many or a few, or maybe just one person.
I love John Milton’s line in his great poem: ( the blind British poet who wrote Paradise Lost- Regained) “They also serve who only stand and wait”.
I would like to give special encouragement to the newly divorced lady with many other heavy duties, the Caregivers for different family members, and even for a bit of pay for others, the homeschool mothers, the husband who is willing for peace to give up his wishes, for the concerns of an unbelieving wife, (which the Lord God will honor in due season), and all housebound people. Please write John Milton’s line down and keep it in a place to see often.
” YOU, are also serving the Lord God, Almighty, YHVH.” Please do not forget that Yeshua ( Jesus, all through the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) is a valuable part of the Bible, do not omit the complete council of God’s Word.
It maybe our entire world currently, is in another one of those times that another poet would write, ” it is the worst of times, and it is the best of times” !
Let us each do the job necessary that is set before us, and run the race with Great Rejoicing in God’s Word. He will be there to walk with us through that “Final Great Battle-Death”. Peace– LaVaye Billings

LaVaye Billings

Thank you so much Skip, and it seems since you got home and have looked at the many that wrote and were not clear about the reasons for the changes; you have now made it much clearer to all, even given them the opportunity to write you personally and state they want to be on, that no one will be taken off that wants to be on. So, hopefully now all that want to stay will not be left off!
There is now so much turmoil in our nation about jobs, political processes, primary elections, and evil going on that we all are too easily distressed with changes!
On Monday, I awaked about 8:30 by the local siren warning that goes off for tornado alerts in our area; one year ago they bounced all around us, and two came down close. Now flooding is once again serious in eastern TX, Houston/Galveston have areas that will/could have ten inches of rain through this. They have only recouped recently from the last one. Just one more local example of what goes on nationally and around the world. TWAS draught past several years!
Anything that is steady and normal in people’s lives is such a great peaceful thing. I did not want others to go through some anxiety that was not needed. I wrote primarily to give comfort to some that might need it.
Thanks again for returning home and adding explanations!
L.B.

I don’t know the full implications of being pruned. I’m new to this site, but the past month I have read and savored every comment, many times I have to reread to get the full appreciation of what is being said . I go to this site first thing every morning. It usually the scriptures but Skip and everyone’s comments get my mind working in the right place. Mental exercise.
Thank you Tanya for your comments. I too feel inadequate to comment on subject at hand in fear of being miss interpreted. I hate texting, it always seem to go wrong and I stay away from social media. Iike face time.
I believe in time I will be able to contribute.
I just purchased from Amazon “Cross word puzzles” I know it doesn’t show up as credit as contribution, but to buy from your site shipping along with exchange would be well over $60.
Thank you everyone for opening your lives.
I have a home congregation but we are one hour away from each other, but we do take the effort weekly to gather around Torah.
So this site is important to me.

Robin Dears

Just to better understand, if we donate to Skipmoen.com , is that the same as giving to “At God’s Table”?

Can you send out a link to us if it is different, please?

Thank you!
