I'm still around


We (as a family) have had some serious ups and downs this year. Sometimes, it can be very difficult to accept God is in charge when serious things happen within the family. We have found solace in Shabbat. In our recital of the prayers, we have found that even when life sucks to the extreme, God is God whether we believe it or not. He reigns supreme over all, and as Paul says, we can give thanks even in adversity.

This week, I had my pride and joy stolen. Someone stole my BMX. I was quietly gutted. I did not think I would see it again. Then whilst conducting a HaYesod study on Wednesday night, the doorbell rand and my bike was returned to me. Fantastic!

I continue to look for a 9-5 job (in psychiatric nursing of course) so that I can spend more time engaging in teaching groups, freeing up each weekend to promote bible study (particurly Torah study). Hopefully, I will find the job soon and can then get away from the hectic life of the acute inpatient.

That's me done for with the exception of our daughter Zoe Charis who has now turned one, learned to walk and has some teeth. Children are great.

Zak has discovered Ayn K'loheynu... and sings it at his leisure.

This should not take long

Ayn K'Loheynu, (is a poor transliteration of the title to a Hebrew song) - here is a wikipedia link, there is a link at the bottom of the wikipedia page to an mp3 version, but it is not as nice as the version we sing along too.

Zak has now started school, he's in reception class at the minute. He is five years and six months. He has bags of energy and this is not an exaggeration. People at our congregation wonder how we manage with him as he only has three speed settings, stop, fast and ridiculous. He, like most other little boys is a dinosaur fanatic. He also upset his class at school by telling them Santa was not real, horrible but funny.

Zoe has started walking. She is now fourteen months old and a lot like her older brother.

Both our children are extremely socialable. When we go to meet with the rest of our church on Sundays, Zak always makes multiple rounds for bread and juice and finishes off whatever is left. It is not unusual to see him run up to whoever is preaching any given week and ask them a question and the best thing is, they do not mind in the slightest. Our congregation is having a small child explosion at the minute which is great.

As for HaYesod, here's a trailers, but I will directly send you the link for it.

Psychiatric nursing is the most awesome job in the world. Looking after everyone in acute phases of things like bipolar disorder (manic depression), schizophrenia, personality disorder and the like. Occasionally I work with people admitted purely for alcohol detox or substance misuse. It is a great job requiring extreme amounts of patience, superlative communication skills and the ability (occasionally) not to get smashed in the head by a chair. Best of all, you get to inject people (just kidding, but it is part of the job from time to time). For you Americans out there, don't believe the negative hype about psychiatry. Rights hands, good tool, wrong hands, lethal!!!

Just looked in to see what is happening here and saw this. My life is on hold for the immediate future - I'll be back when it sorts out and work, family and a home become clearer. I value your continued prayer - especially for the first 3 weeks of September which is the real crunch time at the moment. The very present stress is the climbing up the wall sort!

Blessings to you all.

I'm trying to get my friends from "the burg" to post on here. It doesn't seem as if they're interested.

I'd love my rabbi to get on here. He'd probably blow us all out of the water, lol. Don't see that happening anytime soon with his busy schedule.

Hi Lulav,

Really sorry to hear that you, too, are having a very bad time. I'll certainly pray for you as I know you do for me.

My world is now due to fall apart early to middle September. I still do not know if I'll have a job or home after the year end. Youngest daughter wants to take a gap year instead of her going to Uni this year so between us we could sort out a home etc; she refuses to go to other party involved in all this. Fortunately, I've managed to convince her to go to Uni (she's really, really clever - an adult member of MENSA, with a high score) and to trust that G_d will provide for me. That will ensure that she has a home and study opportunities for three years. I must sit tight, wait and let the un-G_dly do their work, then see how G_d will vindicate my stand for truth.

Please pray for Lulav, as well!


Shalom aleichem chaver.

Thank you, I appreciate that. August has always been a really bad month for me and this years no different, it is scary as I get older and this is effecting me with so much stress I'm afraid I might have a stroke so trying to take it easy. I hope your stress isn't over taxing you. I am glad you got her to go, especially with her abilities, I was always too chicken to go and take the test, so I applaud her for even being able to do that! :)
Keep standing strong and know you are not alone. :hug:

Shalom y'all deep from the heart of Paul Wilbur land.

Work wise, I'm coming out of the most stressful season from April through July. I appraise business personal property for the local govt and sit glued in front of a computer all day comparing pages of numbers. On the plus side I'm able to use the other side of my brain to listen to Messianic radio or audio sermons at the same time.
School started for my 9th grade son this week. Yay! No more sleep overs and watching movies past 2:00 am in the home.

My youngest daughter 19 got married in March. Her spouse had joined the Marines and got deployed (a few weeks later) until Dec. She is still living with us(which is good) but is suffering role/identity crises and separation anxiety.
Our 30 yr old daughter has been back home 1 year and things have turned around for her finally. Prodigal son story, sort of. Small town girl moves to Miami for excitement and wealth. Very successful in real estate sales but not in love. Falls madly in love with a Morrocan businessman, gives up career and moves to Africa. He is very honorable, caring, agnostic, man. A few months before their planned wedding, things became unraveld. It turns out religion and culture really did matter. They were unequaled yoked and she realized why family and friends raised red flags before.

She moved back home. With real estate values much lower up here and less sales volume, it has been a struggle. She appreciates more than ever her faith and family values.

So couples in their mid 50's are going through empty nest syndrome. But that would be very boring!:)

Even though I don't have a lot of posts, I still have been present here viewing posts. My philosophy has been God gave us 2 ears, 2 eyes, and only 1 mouth for a reason!
I'll be posting more now and appreciate the fellowship and even those folks that only help me "sharpen my iron"
Shalom Mishpocheh
