Carry On

Hi all, I am scrambling from being 10 days on the road and now 2 days at home and then 6 days gone again.  So, comments and replies might be a little retarded (no pun intended). Carry on. Skip

AMAZING GRACE! for everyone

In the last few weeks we have witnessed two wonderful things happen in our little cyber community.  First, many people are connecting to a great discussion on Hebraic thinking, patterns, festivals and exegesis.  Now, some of them are getting connected beyond this web page foundation.  They are deciding to do life together by connecting with…
