Hearts Of Friends



Hearts of friends, tightly woven together by time, tears and shared memories. I hold them in my hand lovingly, carefully. My hand is open not wanting to smother or hold too tightly, for they each need room to move, to grow, to be themselves. I guard and treasure each one individually. Though they may be separated my miles, our hearts are inseparable.

Winter Tree



Winter tree, barren and cold, with no sign of life but for the occasional bird needing a place to rest.  Do not despair. Winter is not so terribly long, but is a brief season in time. Shortly, the spring will come, and your leaves will again grow anew and your branches will stretch to meet the rising of the sun.

The Bridge To Your Destiny



As we come upon each of life's bridges let us deeply consider the  path.  Don't look down , or fear may grip you as you stand paralyzed, afraid to move forward. Don't look back at what may have been, it's already passed. Keep your eyes fixed forward . Set your gaze on the horizon, but not too far forward, or it may overwhelm you. Go on, on step at a time.

Sit A Spell




Sit a spell. Make time to enjoy the beauty of nature. Take in the sights and smells of winter. Listen to the sounds of the gentle breeze and watch the birds flitting about. Relive precious memories of time spent with friends and family. Enjoy the moment.

Festival of Lights


Chanukah, the Festival of Lights. A remembrance to us of the re dedication of the Temple. A reminder to us to not assimilate to the world's standards or way of thinking, to be set apart unto Him.




Dreidels..on them are four Hebrew letters, shin, heh, gimmel and  nun which stand for Hebrew words, when translated means a great miracle happened there. When the Temple was rededicated, they found only enough oil to light the menorah for one night, and miraculously, it stayed lit for eight nights, which is why Chanukah is celebrated for eight nights.




We are commanded to be a light unto the world. To dispel the darkness by being different, set apart, so that others will see the light of Messiah within us.



He is the light of the world. A light unto our path.
