Today is Pentecost Sunday and for most of my life, I had no idea what that meant. At some point, I eventually connected it to what happened when the Holy Spirit blew into Jerusalem. But I never realized just how significant that day was until I started studying the Hebraic roots of Christianity. In the …
It’s raining today. It’s been raining off and on for the last few days. You ever notice how everything looks brighter after rain? Like the grass looks greener. The dirt looks darker. All the colors are more vivid after rain. I have a little container garden on my back patio. It’s not much. A few …
It’s the last week of school for my youngest, thank the Lord. I don’t have one more single week in me. I feel like I’ve been on autopilot for the last couple of weeks as it is. I wish I was one of those moms who had a slew of things planned to do over …
I started this blog probably about ten years ago. I named it Covered In His Dust because it’s where I wanted to be at the time. It still is. Have I ever told you why? It’s from an old Jewish saying. During the time of Jesus and before, there weren’t microphones or any kind of …
Well, I’ve lost my journal. It’s the one I took with me to Israel. I bought it thinking I’d have a ton of stuff to write about while I was there, but it turns out I only used about ten or fifteen pages. I just didn’t have the time I thought I’d have. For future …
I’m sitting here this morning drinking my coffee. Billie Eilish is playing on Spotify and the dogs are getting settled in for their first morning nap. I’ve been thinking a lot about Rachel Held Evans. She was a writer and speaker in the Christian community and she recently passed away at 37 years old. I …
Lord, y’all. Last week was spring break and let me tell ya. It was super nice to not have to be anywhere at the crack of dawn. That already makes the day more calm. Of course, I had double the work though with my doctor and another doctor because I was covering for one of …
I watched a message yesterday by Amir Tsarfati about Jesus and the Passover. It was so good y’all! I’m including the link for it because I hope you’ll go watch it too. One of the things Amir mentioned has been tumbling around in my head since yesterday. It came from this bit of scripture about …
Sometimes the hardest part of writing is finding an end. In school, you learn to write proper stories with an introduction, a body, and a nice clean conclusion that ties it all in a nice bow. Except for that in real life, sometimes there’s not a nice conclusion. Sometimes there’s no conclusion at all. Things …
I co-led a class this morning on the Biblical Feasts. This is one of my favorite subjects to talk about because it’s usually not taught in depth in church and is a great way to help Christians connect deeper with the Jewish roots of their faith. After all, Jesus was Jewish, and he kept the …
