[OPEN]HaKotel - A place at the Wall of Prayer

[Shamash Of Yeshua]

Surely, it's worth looking into, Tag. Shalom, brother. I am praying for you.Todah Zemirah for the bringing me up before your Adoni and mine :clap: which is the ONE and ONLY ADONI: Y H W H YaHWeh, Blessed is HIS Name!
I just love your signature Zemirah:~*~The only real "Jewish Problem" in all of history has been gentiles who hate the One True God and His chosen people~*~

Remember...
Matthew 7:20, "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. "

Servitude is what most do in life. Where will I be serving next. Who will be my employment Master :)


Yafet,
If I am to be in Israel, if that is YHWH's Will, then I need to find the funds to get there. I really don't know what to do or who to talk to.

I have gotten to the point that I would gladly be someone's servant as long as they can provide a room and board and of course an internet connection :hug:. Because I wouldn't want to lose contact with my friends here.

Everyone here, I am going through lots of self-doubts considering the position I am currently in, having no employment, no transportation and having to move before the house I currently live in is sold.

One other thing, I have about 300 pounds of rocks that I have collected when camping, hiking, fishing or mountain biking, which I need to part with :( I will surely miss my rock collection. If anyone knows of anyone that would like to talk with me about my rock collection then let them know and contact me, most likely before end of March 2004.

If anyone knows of anyone that has need of someone that has experience with computers and various software and hardware changes. Production and labor as well as custodian. Done many other types of work as well.

Shalom,

and much though it appears otherwise, I wanted to say...

I CAN SPELL! ARGH. I just can't TYPE LOL.
Then you need to teach your fingers to spell ;)

I have a question about Purim. The books I'm reading say it's a time for gift giving.To family, friends, and the poor. What I want to know is if I give to one do I need to give to all. Or is it known that some will get and others won't. I don't want anyone to feel lefted out. So if you have any ideas. I'd really love to hear them.

Purim gifts are usually in the order of baskets of treats - and usually given to those in the community who would be truly blessed to receive such a gift - the home bound, the lonely, the struggling family etc - not necessarily to one's own family members.....

As to how much and how many it is a matter of your ability and situation..... definately NOT like the all-too-often Christmas saga where for a week later everyone asks you "what did you get?"

I don't understand what you guys are talking about - nothing has changed in the format - all the colors etc are still there :)

[ShirChadash]

:holy:

HM I see no colored-type, no blessings on anyone's posts, and no male/female, country flag, or mood icons up there on our identifying info. Maybe no denominational listing either...? You see all these Henaynei?

[ShirChadash]

whoops, okay I got the country flags. But only that, age and the number of * (like Henaynei has a million of to show she's a rare soul kinda thing ;) ) show up for me.

Boy are we having some kind of crisis today on MJ forum!:D

Curve ball coming in.....

We hear about all the classic rock bands who do nostalgia tours and it made me wonder....

After all these years.....how many would like to see a "Lamb" reunion tour? It has been 14 years since their last album....do you think anyone would care?

I know I would.

Do the kids even know who they were?

[Henaynei]

LOL You - no they don't :)

It might be nice - Rick and Joel - hmmm - is Rick still Prez of MJAA?

[simchat_torah]

The reason you don't see the icons, etc... is because there is currently a bug in the forum whereby only the moderators can see this information. I'm not quite sure when Erwin will be correcting this problem.


shalom,

You must be thinking of Joel??? Surely you know that the Chernoff family has always been in leadership at the MJAA?

I will not have the internet after tonight in about 50 minutes. Unless I had enough to pay for it till I have to move since the Landlord has sold his house. That will be the end of March which also begins in 50 minutes as well.

So so long for how ever long it will take me to get back online.

Shalom, Shalom and Shalom,

My landlord called today to say that he has signed the papers and we now have to move by NEXT Wednesday the 10th of March. This really puts stress on me and I don't know where to turn in terms of people. I know I need to be turning to YHWH, yet where do I turn in human terms.

Barukh atah Adoni, Elohenu Melekh ha-olam, Da'yan Emet.
Blessed are You, O L-rd our G-d, King of the Universe,
who is a Righteous Judge.

My FIL, Melekh ben Sh'muel, Melvin Shaiken, passed away last noc at about 12:40am. It was peacefully, B"H.

The whole family is in mourning and shock. We are like dreamers.....

We are meeting with the funeral director Monday to finalize the details of interrment which will be in the Florida National Cemetery. It has hit us all hard, for numerous reasons. My task is to support my MIL, my hubby and my son all of whom are having a hard time each in their own way.

The good news is that the rabbi was able to minister to dad and he accepted Yeshua two days before his death. G-d willing, this will eventually clear the way for Mum to accept Him too. I am praying that this will also open the way for my son to grasp again the Tzitzit of Yeshua in his life.

My husband and Mum will be sitting shiva in Mum's home when we return from the interrment, probably Tuesday, until Friday at sunset as Shabbat cuts Shiva short.

Prayers for comfort and wisdom for all are appreciated.

Dearest sister,

We all grieve with your loss. I am thankful for the time you had with your father in law....and that he made a very good decision before it was too late. I'm praying for the comfort which comes from the Ruach HaKodesh to fill your family in this time. May this bring you all closer together...and bring glory to our Father in heaven.

amen

[Hix]

You have been in my prayers Henaynei achoti, I am terribly sorry for your loss. That it should happen on Purim of all times, HaShem only knows, but suffice it to say he is happy in the World to come :)

I pray G-d blesses and comforts you and your entire family!!!
~Hix~

[Henaynei]

He is rejoicing in his gain, we mourning our loss - blessed be the Name of the Righteous One, Master of the Universe.....

[Charlesinflorida]

Henaynei,

I am sorry to hear of your loss. May the Ruachk Elohim comfort you and your family during this shiva. How wonderful that he met Messiah before the end. May his beloved do so also .

Shalom,
and comfort,

Charles

[ShirChadash]

:( Dearest Henaynei, I missed this news yesterday and am just seeing it.


May the Ruach gently comfort, may Yeshua's arms surround, may the lovingkindness of HaShem carry all of you as you move together through this difficult time and grieve the loss of your loved one. I'll be praying that, as you all work through this loss, HaSHem will make you everything you need to be for your family members, and that He will be for all of you all that He alone is able to be.

love in Yeshua from my heart to yours.

[Talmidah]

Oh dear Henaynei, I am so sorry about the loss of your father in law. I will be praying for your family. Please accept a hug (albeit cyber) from someone who truly cares about you. I am praying for both comfort and wisdeom during this time.

I pray and hope all pray that YHWH will look upon all who knew your father-in-law, knew of his acceptance of YaHshua HaMashiach as Master and KING of Kings. May this event be one that many come closer to YHWH in the Faith of Yeshua. When two or more come together in YaHshua's NAME above all names there HE is, as our Arbitrator before YHWH at HIS RIGHT HAND. And since He is at YHWH's RIGHT HAND we are given the Ruach of YHWH to counsel and teach us YHWH's WILL.

Here is a scripture I came across:
Psa 118:1-29 HNV
(1) Give thanks to YHWH, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
(2) Let Yisra'el now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
(3) Let the house of Aharon now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
(4) Now let those who fear YHWH say that his loving kindness endures forever.
(5) Out of my distress, I called on YHWH. YHWH answered me with freedom.
(6) YHWH is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
(7) YHWH is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me.
(8) It is better to take refuge in YHWH, than to put confidence in man.
(9) It is better to take refuge in YHWH, than to put confidence in princes.
(10) All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of YHWH, I cut them off.
(11) They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of YHWH I indeed cut them off.
(12) They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the name of YHWH I cut them off.
(13) You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, but YHWH helped me.
(14) YHWH is my strength and song. He has become my yeshu`ah.
(15) The voice of rejoicing and yeshu`ah is in the tents of the righteous. "The right hand of YHWH does valiantly.
(16) The right hand of YHWH is exalted! The right hand of YHWH does valiantly!"
(17) I will not die, but live, and declare the YHWH's works.
(18) YHWH has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.
(19) Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to YHWH.
(20) This is the gate of YHWH; the righteous will enter into it.
(21) I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have become my yeshu`ah.
(22) The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.
(23) This is YHWH's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.
(24) This is the day that YHWH has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!
(25) Save us now, we beg you, YHWH! YHWH, we beg you, send prosperity now.
(26) Blessed is he who comes in the name of YHWH! We have blessed you out of the house of YHWH.
(27) YHWH is Adoni, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
(28) You are my Adoni, and I will give thanks to you. You are my Adoni, I will exalt you.
(29) Oh give thanks to YHWH, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

Shalom and Shalom,

Interesting that you should name this section Aliyah.

I lost a girl baby in the womb at 6 months pregant. She passed without me knowing until the next doctor apt came and the heart beat was not found. Ironically, at the time of her conception, before I knew I was pregnant, I had sent money to a ministry I had never heard of before. The program was called "Wings of Eagles" I think. G_d had put on my heart to give money to free a captive Jew and allow this person to "make Aliyah" home to Isreal. This was a sacrifice, however I felt led to make it.

Anyhow, I hadn't thought of any permanent names at the time of her passing as I didn't know the sex of the baby. But as I grieved her loss the night prior to heading to the hosptial to deliver her, I was comforted by the name Aliyah Renee. I looked it up and discovered the Jewish meaning to be "going up" for Aliyah and "Born again" for Renee. To me this is comforting as I see it as "a going up (home to heaven) to be "born again" spiritually. I don't have any biblical references for believing that she is in heaven. However I believe in a good and gracious G-d who holds us accountable for what we do with what we know as stated in the first couple chapters of Romans. How could my child be condemned for not knowing and therefore not being able to respond for or against?

Anyhow, I am comforted to see her name each time I see it. It keeps my focus heavenward.

By the way, I'm "new". I'm a gentile believer and I hope its ok that I visit your site to ask questions.

Shalom!

Shalom workman. I have four babies in Abba's arms. :( Your story touched my heart so much. I can NOT imagine the heartache of losing a babe so far into pregnancy... mine were all in the first few 3 mos. I too was given the name of our last baby after we found out the baby had died... Naomi. "Pleasant". The pregnancy had been very quiet and restful, and the Spirit had just been moving on me to be calm and quiet, not to worry, to rest in Him. My husband was given the middle name of Hannah for her... "Grace".


Please come on in and be at home and chat and learn and share with us. So glad you are here.

She vanished last November to deal with real life problems(I think this place was also getting to her). We haven't heard from her since. :(

Badfish, I have been wondering the same thing... I haven't heard from her since waaaaaay back before December sometime.

Now, I am rather embarrassed. But my dad was Jewish (passed away) found out about it after he passed. I do not know what it means to be a Jew or even traditions and such. How do I learn? Rabbi's do not want to even talk to me about it. It frustrates me. Would I need to speak with a Messianic Rabbi? If so where can I find info on messianic congregations?

Welcome Jeshohaia,
I hope we can help you ;)

A few things would help to know:
1) in what area do you life?
2) do you acknowledge Yeshua/Jesus as Messiah?
3) do you have any documentation to verify your father was Jewish?? A bar Mitzvah or Bris certificate??

Any or all of these answers would be helpful :)

[jeshohaia]

1) Central Coast, CA (Not Santa Barabra they are about 2 hours south of me).
2) Yep, I believe that Yeshua is the Messiah.
3) My dad has a Bris certificate, it is in Kentucky right now in my step mom's records.

This might help - LOL - I have NO idea which of these might be in Central CA ;) I don't know any of these communities personally - I would suggest going to one whose info includes the letters *IAMCS, MJAA, UMJC* as these communities have some accountability to those organizations. (In some cases otherwise, every man jack who can lay their hands on a kippah/yarmulkah can start a congregation and call himself a "rabbi" with no accountability) Many have web sites and emails that can be helpful in getting further info ;)

SW had a lot of stresses going on at once in her life... and I know that CF was getting to be too much for her to handle on one plate. I can't say for sure that she has left for good, but I can definately say that she decided to take an extended vacation.

I suspect that once her life settles down a bit we'll see her turn up again ;)

[ShirChadash]

Could I add a rather multi-part prayer request to this thread today?


Today is my DH, TorahLover's, birthday and he is hitting the road to travel for a conference he is conducting out in the western part of our state. Because he works for the State DNR here, and we are a big wildland fire state, he also works fighting wildland fires. Well, we've already had a fire or two (which is very early) and we're set for a horrible fire year... we got a phone call at 1:30 this mroning... there's a fire a county away from us, threatening a subdivision, and almost NO ONE is around who is usually available for fires (because it is so early), high winds changing direction forecast for this afternoon... sheesh -- we have a red-flag warning here in the middle of April -- this doesn't bode well folks.

DH has to get to this conference and can't really help, though he spent the morning so far running all over the place troubleshooting some things; almost everyone is gone from his office, his relatively new boss is in a tizzy over the ins and outs of the fire situation and no one there to help him out.

Sigh... so really, I want to ask prayer for DH to have a safe drive as always, and a successful conference... for his boss to calm down (he's really upset and hard to deal with when he gets stressed) and manage things very well, for the office manager to have the grace of G-d on her and be patient while dealing with the boss (LOL) and the confusions, and for all of the firefighters they manage to get out on the line and in the engines. DH has a rather bad feeling about this fire, and with the higher-wind event coming through, humidity in the teens (fuels out there are almost as dry as kiln-dried wood)... this could be a bad fire... or it could be out in two days -- who knows :) Prayer helps ;)

TIA all!

Love,

[simchat_torah]

so... uhhh... Shlopa, mind telling us a bit about yourself?

is it just me, or is the above post entirely blank?

[shlopa]

My father-in-law has been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. He has had two surgeries, radiation and chemo but he is slipping more and more each day. None of us are wealthy and the time has come to make some decisions. His wife is certain that she has received salvation but everything she says and does negates this. She has the ultimate ability to make decisions on his care and we are struggling with how to handle this. We want him home and are willing to move in and take a more active role in his care but there are years of built up resentment from all of her children toward her. Living in the same house could get ugly fast. I need your prayers that G-d, who can do all things, willl give us the guidance we need to work this situation out. We don't have much time before she sends him away to a nursing home which has always been his biggest fear. I have felt a sense of true believers in this forum and would humbly ask for your prayers at this time.

[Hix]

Oh this is my 1000th post! :D

I will be praying for you Shlopa, may the Almighty give you guidence in this hard time and give you peace in your heart knowing that he is in control. Baruch HaShem.

Hey folks -- if you read this, would you please lift up a prayer for my family? We, here, are battling a terrible flu bug that just hits and goes around and around, leaves the person feeling a bit better for about 3 days, and then hits again hard. But also, I just got an email that my elderly father is in hospital this morning, sick as well. He had a fever and his BP was up, so they took him in. I'm ruffled by this, as always -- being 1000 miles from my parents/siblings has always been hard, but especially now, as my folks are aging.

I'm sorry I have been touchy on a thread here this morning. I love you folks as my online brothers and sisters in the Lord.

May the khesed v'shalom of HaShem wrap you and your family, and YOUR heart, mind and spirit in His warmth as He gathers your day and fears in His Tallit and holds you to His heart.

Shalom, Shavua Tov to everyone.

Thought this would be as good a place as any to say Im back (for those who noticed my absence and the overall quietness/lack of heretical beliefs on the board ;)). So yes I have returned and Im sorry I was gone for so long, I guess I have a bit of explaining to do.

Some know already but not too long ago my dad took terribly ill, it was a mixture of many things which included septocemia (a form of blood poisioning) and an overactive case of the herpes syndrome (which causes cold sores in mild cases) but the main worry was Chronic Kidney Failure. Basically the abumlance was called and he was rushed to hospital, had that not happened he wouldnt have made the night. To cut a long story short Im glad to say he IS home now and is feeling somewhat better though admittedly tired and is unable to do much (which ment I have been quite busy looking after him) but to all those who prayed I really appreciate your prayers and your support!

So uh, anyways, Im back now....has Erins kid been born yet? :D

See you around everyone!

Shalom to all who haven't seen me online and to all who haven't seen me in a while. I now have dial-up with No Charge until I see if I can get a cable connection or not.

I really missed seeing all your tactile characters filling my screen. I am currently living in the basement of a friend's Grandmother who is 85. I don't have to pay rent since I do work around the house. Although when ever I get some work I do give her a portion.

Many new thoughts are upon my heart that I want to hash out with others hearts when I get the thoughts into writing.

I am glad to be back and hopefully will be more apt at giving answers according to YHWH and Yeshua with more Agape.

May YHWH Bless you and Keep you and Bring you Peace in a World going down a Wide Path to Sheol. If we don't hate this World and its ways then how are we to Follow what Yeshua taught of YHWH. May your walk in Torah and Yeshua be fulfilling and may you be a Light that SHINES brightly in exposing the Lies in this World and bring many to the True Light through Yeshua HaMashiach our King of Kings which YHWH has established.

Tag! Welcome back!

[Shamash Of Yeshua]

I just had a thought.

We Souls which YHWH has Created need edification from others around us. We like to hear words from others that bring our Spirits out of the drudges of life in the World that wants us to not Follow the ONE and ONLY G_D, YHWH and HIS Son Yeshua. I sure don't get many and sit around at times and think less of myself to the point I wish I wasn't created. :cry: We go through times of temptation and tribulation sometimes on a daily basis, so I see we must daily die to this world and seek the counsel of those who are like minded in seeking Truth in ONE G_D.

I am still searching for the purpose YHWH has for me in this world. I think at times I must be a Servant to others in ways of Labor, at the same time opening my mouth and letting YHWH speak through me, to bring Truth to a world that has been bombarded with so many Lies that are many times mixed with Truth to sound like Truth.

For a few months I didn't attend the Assembly and have been feeling low for that time. Well I finally went back and also went to another Assembly in Port Orchard as well. The Assembly I am attending is in Federal Way, WA and is called Fellowship of Messiah.

I am currently wanting to learn how to tie Tzitzith and have been reading this book by Aryeh Kaplan called "TZITZITH - A Thread of Light". I find it fasinating to see we should seek the counsel of Judaism for answers in Light of YHWH. I can't remember the scripture right off where Yeshua said that the Pharisees and Scribes sit in Moshe's Seat and therefore we should do what they say and not what they do. I see that it implies that Yeshua was here to correct Judaism in ways they brought forth through Men's Traditions, not to imply that Judaism is something we shouldn't seek(To be a Jew is to be one who walks in Torah). On the contrary I see that we should each go to a Jewish Synagogue and seek what is being taught while keeping in mind that Traditions of Men even were instituted in some areas of Judaism and also keep in mind that Yeshua HaMashiach was Appointed by YHWH at HIS Right Hand as Joseph was appointed by YHWH through the Pharoah of Egypt as the Right Hand of Pharoah to save HIS Choosen Ones. So therefore YHWH brought Yeshua into the World to save us from the Lies of the World. After all we all are HIS. HE chose us before we even knew of HIM and therefore those of us who choose to follow HIS Ways which HE gave through Moses and later corrected the corruption brought into HIS Chosen by way of Men's Traditions through Yeshua HaMashiach. Also keep in mind that after Yeshua and all His Apostles and Disciples were gone from the World, corruption weeded its way into what Yeshua taught by way of making the Messenger G_D. We can see in the books in the Tanahk that Israel is an image of what is to come for all of YHWH's creation, Man that is, in that Joseph was appointed the Right hand of Pharoah to save Israel from Tribulations in the World and also Moses saved Israel out of the World. I see Yeshua HaMashiach as fulfilling those as well as paying for the Sins of the World.

That is my 2 cents for now.
We are dust of the Earth and only have Life because YHWH brought us into being.

Shalom and Shalom,

[Henaynei]

Today was a difficult day - we (mum-in-luv, hubby and I) went to the Florida National Cemetary to visit the grave of my recently (March 6th) did-in-luv.

They bury assembly-line style there and have not yet sodded the plot of nearly 1000 or more graves that have been buried with him since March in just that one area of the cemetary - so it was all barren almost beach sand. There are so many graves and they all look alike - you have to find the one you are looking for by reading the numbers on the back of the stone.

DH said kaddish, El Male Rachamim [God, full of mercy] as well as the prayers of a son at the grave side. We took and placed stones of rememberance at the grave. Usually these are placed on the headstone - but it is not likely that they would be allowed to remain there and we saw none on other Jewish stones, so we embedded ours in the sand infront of his headstone in the hopes they will sod over them and they will remain.

There was another woman and her daughter (in-law?) at another jewish grave and mum offered DH to say kaddish for them, they agreed and were touched.

It has been about 3 months - mum is without faith and will not talk of anything that causes her the least bit of emotional or psychological strain - that is nothing new, she has been like this since before I came to know her. But, she feels dad is still hanging around and is angry with her for allowing him to die. He asked that all his meds be stopped and defibrillator be disconnected, but she is the one who made the decision to stop the dialysis and to not put the gastric feeding tube in. Dad was failing fast and the doctors agreed that neither the dialysis not the feeding tube were going to make any positive change in the outcome and only put him through more surgery and pain. And yet, even though dad was the one who stopped his meds and agreed to have his defibillator disconnected AND told us that he knew that this meant that he was going to die, she still tortures herself believing that he hates her for killing him. And there is nothing we can do or say or remind her of that changes her mind. She rarely talks about it - yet it has her bound and worried.

I know it is only 3 months and their marriage was about 53 years - but I see her stalled and I see the biggest problem being that she is fearful that he is not "in a good place," and that he is unhappy and therefore angry with her. Dad was about as materialistically assimilated as a Jewish man of his generation could get. He kept nothing but the cluture of his Judaism and refuse to talk about G-d.

Sorry this is so long....... {shrug}

[Shamash Of Yeshua]

Henaynei,

My condolences. :pray: I pray that Hashem will give you and others who follow YHWH's Torah and believe that HE appointed Yeshua HaMashiach the Prince of Peace opportunities to witness The Truth, The Way, and the Life we find in YHWH to those who also knew your did-in-luv.

Any more then that I don't know. Shalom, Shalom and Shalom,

Thank you! I love being called your sister in Messiah! I feel honored!

Might I request some prayer here? I need prayer for our marriage, finances and ministry direction. I'm looking for work in order to help our finances while my husband undergoes a career change (and mid-life crisis?). It's putting quite a strain on our marriage and family--especially since I've been homeschooling and might have to discontinue that now. Our whole world feels turned upside-down. As for ministry, my husband was supportive and right there with me in following Yeshua's leading in Torah, but he seems to be dragging far behind now, lost in his own emotional and financial stresses.

Well, that's it in a nutshell. Thank you for your prayers. May our G-d bless you!

and yet, Yeshua died for you, Tag. You may feel you deserve these things... but He loves you and doesn't agree -- heck we ALL deserve those things, don't we, when we are not in Him... but He died that we might be in Him.

I can do nothing but offer my prayers, Brother... you'll be in them throughout the day today.

Hold onto Yeshua's Tzitzith, Tag.
Love in Yeshua,
~Z~

As most of you are aware Miss Bonnie came through in miraculous style from her brain tumor surgery!! Blessed be the Name who shows us His mercy each day!

You may also recall that a few days after going home she suffered a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital.

While they found no obstruction or clogging in any of her heart arteries (Barukh HaShem), the last communication I believe we received from PG was that Miss Bonnie was "not doing well."

I have not seen PG online for at least 36 hours and feel compelled to call this community together for prayer for PG and Miss Bonnie......


Therefore, I enjoin us, as a community, to take some time to deliberately and specifically pray for whatever their situation may be and that the perfect will of HaShem will speedily be manifest.......


Pray as you will, or......

Heal us, HaShem, --- then we will be healed; save us -- then we will be saved, for You are our praise. Bring complete recovery for all our aliments. May it be Your will, HaShem, my G-d, and the G-d of my forefathers, that You quickly send a complete recovery from heaven, spiritual healing and physical healing to the patient Miss Bonnie, wife of Pastor George, among the other patients of Israel. For You are G-d, King, the faithful and compassionate Healer. Blessed are You, HaShem, Who heals the sick of His people Israel.

Henny,

I posted a link to your prayer request for PG in the Charasmatic forum. Here is PG's response to it. I think maybe he thought he was posting it here . . .here it is http://www.christianforums.com/showthread.php?p=8613807&postcount=2

[Sephania]

Here is his reply dated 7/23


Sorry to not have gotten back to you all sooner.

They released Bonnie from the hospital last night quite late. Like 7:15 PM
She was cranky and complaining about the food.

We got home to a house where one of our dogs who we have kennel trained had diareah real bad and she broke loose her cage so there was dog vomit, diareah and blood every where. Welcome home!

Bonnie is weak as a kitten right now and with some nausea and blurred vision.
And massively depressed.

We are going forward with our Erev Shabbat service which will be broad cast on Pal Talk at about 8:30 tonight. My sermon will be on healing. We probably will curtail a lot of the service but we want to kick Ha'Satan right square in the nose.

Personally I am tired right to the bone. I can't remember buying a ticket for this ride and it stopped being fun a while ago.

But we will praise G-d anyway!

No matter what, no matter where!
And when the prison doors come flying open
Men shall see
That our G-d Reigns.

Pastor George :wave:

George, could you update us again? :pray:

[Henaynei]

I spoke with him recently ---

Miss Bonnie is home and moving around fairly well, very weak and having fuzzy vision problems - they do not know why.

PG is exhausted.

They also have to move soon and are having heavy challenges re: rent (where) vs buy (what and how) - AND the issues of moving no matter whether it is rent or buy.

Some folks are coming by most (every?) days to help out - don't know if they are from his congregation or a home health agency.....

That is about all I know...... sorry

[ShirChadash]

My world is a little less colorful as of this evening. A friend of mine, once my pastor's wife (they moved) passed away suddenly late in the night, last night. Though I haven't seen her in a couple of years, she was the Lord's warm, gentle, wise counselling and steady covering presence in my life during a time when others in the "church" were deeply wounding me. She was an artist. She taught art at the county high school here for some 20 years. She was expressive, creative, lifegiving, honest, extremely real, and never did have that "pastoral distance" pastors and their wives seem to fall into. She had such a beautiful, simple love for Yeshua... her heart was ever open to His Spirit, ever open even after all of the wounding that the "Body of believers" often causes those with tender hearts and open arms. She was a big woman, tall and big, and her hugs literally were so enveloping... I haven't seen so much love in one person maybe ever in my life, as she had.

I haven't really a clue where one's spirit/soul goes when one dies bodily, but I assume it is "paradise" to await the new heaven and earth. And so, I pray she enjoyed her first breathtaking sunrise this morning, and is feasting her eyes on her first color-intensive, sense-filling sunset right now.

Should anyone read this who knows, some advice on prayers at the time of a loved-ones' dying and on holding Shiva (I believe that's the mourning, no?) and the customs surrounding such and the yartzeit (sp?) candle (?) etc., would be appreciated.

Thanks and love,
~Z~

[ShirChadash]

:sigh: I notice on one site, it seems that only close family members are mourned for the seven-day period after the funeral. :sigh:

[ShirChadash]

Wow. The outpouring of sympathy is overwhelming.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss - what a wonderful eulogy ou just gave her :)

Thanks and love,
~Z~ The Yahrzeit candle is not lit until the anniversary of the death.

Shiva is reserved for the close family - the most intense perriod of mourning is the first 7 days after interment (thus the name Shiva/Seven). Mourning continues for a total of a thirty day period where the close family refrains from engagement in cheerful or joyous activities, except Shabbat. It is forbidden to mourn on Shabbat. This period is then followed by 11 months of mourning - where the eldest son recites Kaddish every day ..... until the first Yahrzeit/Anniversary.

While I am sure your loss is deep, the intimacy of Shiva is reserved for the close family. Thus, you can pretty much select what ever other activity or charitable effort you feels best honors your friend's memory and brings healing to your heart :)

[Henaynei]

:sigh: I notice on one site, it seems that only close family members are mourned for the seven-day period after the funeral. :sigh: Shiva is specifically done by the spouse and children of the deceased. Others may indeed mourn, but only the family sits Shiva - only they are afforded this intimacy with the mourning and memory of what they have lost --- and this is as it should be. Shiva belongs to the family in mourning - for the rest of the community, while perhaps also hurting - their role is to support and comfort the family - and there are plenty of traditions around this activity also :)

[Henaynei]

Wow. The outpouring of sympathy is overwhelming. It is a sad state of affairs, but well known with in the staff of CF - Stickies, by their very nature most often get over looked and go unread........ and I am sure that, for some of us, the impending severe weather and the preparations to ride it out have had a slightly distracting effect.:sorry:

[ShirChadash]

Thank you, Hen. I've been thinking of other ways to honor her memory. Our whole town is stunned by her untimely death... and something that touches my heart is that so many of my friends, upon hearing of her passing, have said they thought immediately of me and have called and xome over to see how *I* am doing in all this. That speaks volumes to me about my relationship with her, in a way. People knew she was once my mentor, and recognize that we had a deep friendship as well. That's pretty awesome, when I think of it.

[Henaynei]

:) quite a woman :hug:

[Sephania]

Zem, I am sorry to hear of your lose, it sounds as if HaShem gave you a wonderful gift in this womans friendship, something that you can cherish forever and look forward to that day when you will see her again for you have the assurance of where she is. :)

I know you are no longer attending a church but if she was still a pastors wife somewhere maybe you could set up something to donate to the church or organize it to purchase something in her honor and placed there in the church? Perhaps a small garden a reflecting garden on the church grounds? With lovely wildflowers and a bench or two for others to go and think about her or even when someone else passes. Maybe a bird bath or small reflecting pool with a fountain ( these can be purchased for way under $100)

You could collect monies from the others in town and those of her new congregation to help in this endevour. It would both honor her and also gives something to many others in her memory.

:hug:You are comforted in my heart.

Please all lets keep Erin ( Pray4Israel) and Henaynei ( as well as all out other members from the sunshine state) in our prayers today as Hurricane Charlie makes landfall. They most likely are evacuated as they live in the area most likely to be hit hard.
:pray:

[Henaynei]

not evacuated here - having to ride it out - we are just outside an evacuation zone - still slated to get the heavy winds, rain and flooding - but not likely to be life threatening - our mum-in-luv has evacuated to our home as she lives in a mobile home and the chances of severe damage of mobile homes is always an issue - and with this storm even a likelyhood :)

appreciate your prayers

have secured all flying things outside, have filled the freezer with containers of water, have secured valuable things that could be damaged by water (papers, my husbands manuscripts and masters) and am just about ready to make a final trip to the store for those last minute supplies........

[Sephania]

Fill the bathtub and get plenty of batteries and candles. I know the L-Rd will give you a peaceful Shabbat dispite the storm.

Shalom!

[Henaynei]

Fill the bathtub and get plenty of batteries and candles. I know the L-Rd will give you a peaceful Shabbat dispite the storm.

This is my first time here in Prayer and Fellowship.

I have just found out that my Mum is having a hard time with her diabetes.

I had no idea how bad it was until my Dad was able to express the severity of her problem while she was out of the house on a rare occasion this week.

My parents live overseas, so I don't get to see them in their everyday lives,and therfore I don't really know what is going on.

When Dad was able to tell me the true extent of her diabetes problem, he was distraught (something he always curbs whilever Mum is around).

Anyway, he said that she is going blind from this disease and is having tests and an operation in November to try to correct this.

She also has terribly bad legs from it too and is having much trouble walking.

Mum has always been a real hypocondriac, and I've always dismissed her diabetes as just something of a minor issue that she just exagerated like everything else, until Dad's heartfelt plea to us for understanding and some kind of help. (to get them through this).

So please, if any of you has the time to offer my Mum, and my Dad for that matter, a prayer, it would be so much appreciated.

They are both 80 years old and I am really starting to worry for them.

With much thanks from Bon (Shabbat Shalom)

Hey Zemmy - you changed your name!!! Pretty!!!

[Henaynei]

I am a school nurse in Port Charlotte (I live in Sarasota, 50 miles away, and commute each day)

I was informed today that several of our schools in Port Charlotte were damaged beyond repair and will remain unusable for at least the rest of the year - that probably means that the students and classes are going to have to double up - and the county is going to have greatly increased costs with vastly decreased revenue (school money comes from property taxes and the gas station that was taxed last year is an empty lot today, etc...)

MANY students, their families AND our teachers are without their homes...... have lost everything they owned........... a great many of the parents will have lost their jobs as well....

School staff is returning to school on Monday to start the process of re-starting the school year - we had JUST started the Monday before the hurricane.

All the school nurses that are still in the county (several have left the area temporarily due to loss of housing) are going for a crash course on Crisis Counseling on Monday, first to help the teachers/staff deal with their losses and then to help the staff AND the students deal and heal as they try to "act normal" and apply themselves to the task of learning and achieving academic success.

for all these issues I solicit your prayers - "my kids" are pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and my heart goes out to them....... and the teaching staff who are going to have to try to help them in the midst of their own loss, pain, fear and confusion...........

half of the homes and businesses that can safely use electricity have had their electricity restored, many more are in no shape to safely use electricity, so those who still have a roof sit in the heat and dark with the mosquitos and try to live, eat safely and sleep ..... banks are postponing mortgage payments for a month or two..... I assume the water is ok if we are going to re-start school by the end of the month.......

I am so excited to find this thread. The nearest MJ congregation to me is an hours drive away (believe me, I looked!) and I am desperate for friendship with others since moving to my little town a year ago.

I am new to the site and have been made to feel welcome by all!! Thank you!

I spent about an hour reading over all the posts, which are wonderful, funny, and intelligent. What a blessing!!

A few notes....

I once told my mother over the phone, "BRB" She said, huh?

Also, I write to a number of people in prison who have no internet knowledge and catch myself writing LOL, and BTW, and they write back to ask me what the heck are you talking about???? Sorry, guys.:doh:

Thank you for welcoming me here, and thank you for this wonderful forum!!

Since we're discussing acronyms, what's OIY? That's one of those I've tried for weeks to figure out, and it's just not coming to me. (It took me months to figure out KWIM, so I think I'll just ask on this one!)

[insaneinthebrain]

I have an appointment with my doctor at 2:30 this afternoon (I'm suppose to be at work by 2, but I have a very nice boss ;)). My eye was hurting really bad overnight, but I took some Advil, and it seems to be doing fine. It's still really red, and things look a little hazy, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

[ShirChadash]

Still praying for you here, IITB.

[insaneinthebrain]

Well, the doctor was talking a bit over my head, but they said I have conjunctivitis, or something. Either way, there's nothing wrong with anything inside my eye, so they gave me an antibiotic, and I'll probably have to go see an eye doctor later this week.

OH good -- we're talking pink eye, then. I was really worried for you -- there are some serious things that can come up with those kind of symptoms.

[Nossa-the-Lame]

Pink eye is no fun. So yeah.....COMINYEHA! And don't ask me what that means, I have no idea, its from the movie Saving Silverman. Anyone see it? Oh, has anyone seen the new movie: Resident Evil: Apocalypse? I like it for being an action movie, my friends who play the game said it did not follow the story line from the game. Oh well. I got nothing else to say :(

Nossa o Manco

[insaneinthebrain]

OH good -- we're talking pink eye, then. I was really worried for you -- there are some serious things that can come up with those kind of symptoms.
Well, I just noticed a few broken blood vessels in there. I hope the meds start working soon, 'cause my eye looks really gross!

Oh, anyone see the old move w/ Richard Pryor called Bruster's Millions? Now that is a great movie.

Well, I just noticed a few broken blood vessels in there. I hope the meds start working soon, 'cause my eye looks really gross!
Of course, staring at a computer monitor probably doesn't help much, but hey! Ain't nuthin gonna get me away from my computer! :D
I will pray for you bro, even though I just saw this now. I hope you are healing.

[Nossa-the-Lame]

I will pray for you also, and yeah, rest your eyes as much you can, that doesn't sound to great :(

I'm actually not feeling too spiffy right now. I might need to call in sick tomorrow if things don't get better. :(

[Nossa-the-Lame]

*crickets chirping* Bueller....Bueller? But in all seriousness, I think you should take the day off brainy, you deserver it ;) plus you need it :thumbsup:

[insaneinthebrain]

Well, it turns out that I don't have pink eye (http://www.iritis.org/). :(

[By Grace]

Wow, IITB, looks like it's a good thing you got to the doc when you did; that could have turned into something even more serious! Did he give you an idea of how serious your case is, and how soon you caught it? Are you on meds already?

[insaneinthebrain]

I have three sets of eye drops, one I have to take every hour, and the other two four times a day(one of those I won't get until Monday, as the pharmacy had to order it). He didn't seem too concerned, but I do have to go back Monday for another check-up.

[Henaynei]

Well, it turns out that I don't have pink eye (http://www.iritis.org/). :(Oh, IITB, I am sorry - I have two elementary age sisters in my school who were diagnosed at the end of last year - I am working with the doctora dn mom to ensure that they get their meds - frequent drops..... they just have a hard time understanding the importance of getting their meds.... they are so young......

Keep us abreast of what the doctors say - I know I will not be alone in praying for you ;)

[Sephania]

Just seeing this now J, prayers have gone up.

:pray:

[Sephania]

Henaynei, how did your move go? I have been thinking about you and praying it would be easy, and feeling bad that your Sukkot is ruined. :hug:

[Henaynei]

moving is going to be amonth long process - Sukkot is safe ;) - thanks for your kind thoughts!!

it will take us a month because neither DH nor I can do either the packing or the actual moving - both of have us have extremely bad backs - I have been paralyzed with mine in the past and was told I would never walk again - G-d raised me up but I MUST use wisdom and humbly submit to my limitations. So we have to pack a box a night and pay someone to do the reat - as well we must pay for folks to actually move us put and in...... AND since our current landlord included the utilities int he rent, we have to re-establish ALL the deposits for our untilities at the new place - a costly operation all around!!

Prayers for favor, freedom from injury, good weather and good timing are all appreciated - only G-d knows where all this is going to come from ;)

[Sephania]

Oh my! I thought I read that you weren't having a Succah because you had to be out by the first? :scratch:. Sorry, I must have mis-understood. Will continue praying for a complete healing and open heart of your landlord.

So we have to pack a box a night and pay someone to do the reat - as well we must pay for folks to actually move us put and in...... AND since our current landlord included the utilities int he rent, we have to re-establish ALL the deposits for our untilities at the new place - a costly operation all around!!

Prayers for favor, freedom from injury, good weather and good timing are all appreciated - only G-d knows where all this is going to come from ;)

Well, the doctor was talking a bit over my head, but they said I have conjunctivitis, or something. Either way, there's nothing wrong with anything inside my eye, so they gave me an antibiotic, and I'll probably have to go see an eye doctor later this week.at your local health food store. Remember they use silver nitrate when you were first born to prevent eye infections. Colloidal silver works the same way for infections. Kills all kinds of bateria. Instant relief too. I have used it on every body cavity known to man. It has worked on throat infections, on pelvic inflamatory disorders, sinus infections, stomach flu (baterial variety), diarhea, bladder inflections, and on and on goes the list....

Prayer paper going into the wall ,

Immediate request: I was just woken up by a phone call from my husband from the EMERGENCY room. Someone hit him broadside, he says he's OK, but has bad chest pain from the seat belt. They are releasing him and right now I am waiting someone to come and pick me up to go get him. That was our only car and I think he said it was totalled, not sure I am still fuzzy. Please pray for all these needs if you feel lead to.

Thank you so much :hug:

I'm so glad to hear your DH is okay. Please update us when you know more!

Oh Zayit. :( Praying here!

Praise HaShem that he is relatively unhurt. :prayer:

Thank you all for your prayers, He is home now and currently on the phone with our Insurance company. The Police said the car is totalled. He couldn't even get in the glove box to get the insurance card, the sTate police had to pry it out and bring it to the hospital for him. He has a huge welt across his chest and alot of pain from it. The other driver came from behind two other vehicles ready to turn,around them onto the shoulder at full speed to get through the traffic light, my husband never saw him and he didn't see my husband. He plowed head on into the middle of our car at full acceleration. The side window exploded and the windshield cracked and the can of fix a flat in the trunk even expoded over everything we had in there, and boy does it stink.

My husband has a job where daily heavy lifting is involved and he insists on going back ASAP so please keep his healing in your prayers :pray: and also that he doesn't have whiplash. I have gotten this three times in my life and my neck is permenentaly damaged because of this so I am praying that he will never have to suffer this.

Thank you all once again,:hug:

~Z~ Still in a daze

:eek: That sounds terrible. I will keep up the prayers here. Hopefully he won't get any secondary problems =/ :(

I have a quick prayer request. One of my sisters (Jennifer) is in med school. She took her step 1 boards last summer and failed. She has just completed an intensive (and expensive) study course to help her do better on her second attempt tomorrow, but she's still failing the practice exams. We're praying for a miracle; several family members are even fasting. So if you guys could maybe chime in and ask that G-d bring glory to Himself tomorrow with my sister's test--that He dazzle her with what He can do--we would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Zayit, it's stories like these that remind me to be so much more careful when I'm driving. It's easy to forget, though, when you're in a hurry. How soon will you get a replacement car? How is the other guy?

[Henaynei]

WOW - Zayit - my dh and I were also in a horrific accident several years ago - we survived B"H, the car did not. I will be praying for your husbands complete healing, his wisdom and patience and the provision of HaShem to lift some of the weight of providing for the family from his shoulders right now!

[Sephania]

I have lifted Jennifer and your whole family that is involved with this up to the throne room, everything will be alright.

Zayit, it's stories like these that remind me to be so much more careful when I'm driving. It's easy to forget, though, when you're in a hurry. How soon will you get a replacement car? How is the other guy? The other driver was in a hurry to get to WalMart where he works, he was OK, just a bloody nose, I thank G-d he had enough sense to wear his seat belt or the police said he would have been thrown through the windshield. We did finally ge
