The Song of Moses

 

                           

Dear Gail-Friends:

 Here is a song for your enjoyment.  The song is called "The Song of Moses" It is based on this week's parashas - Hazeinu (Deuteronomy 32:1-52.)
 
Hazeinu is Hebrew for "Listen!".  Moses is preparing to die and he is giving his last message to the people.  This passage is known as the song of Moses and is a perfect meditation for Shabbat and as preparation for Yom Kippur.

Have you prepared for the Most Holy Day?  It begins Sunday at sundown.  I pray for your heart to be soft and open.  You do this by asking Hashem to search your heart for any unconfessed sin.  If sin is found, repent and ask forgiveness.  And if there are hard feelings, go to that person as quickly as possible and make peace.  Your heart will be lifted and you will know the joy of worshiping Adonai in the beauty of holiness.  
 
Yom Kippur is a time of quietness and reverence - realizing anew the struggle of our flesh as we walk in this world.  But it is also a time of rejoicing for the love and mercy of Hashem in sending His Son, Yeshua to shed his blood for our sin.  We praise Him for forgiveness and also for His power to overcome sin as we journey. Haleluyah to The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world and writes our names in the Book of Life for the year ahead !  May we bring Him glory and honor in all we do and say in the year ahead.

 I pray your Shabbat will be worship-full with moments of stillness, tranquility, and peace. May this day be filled with joy from spending time with Hashem, your family and loved ones, and may the atmosphere in your home be filled with coziness and harmony. I pray for Him to bring peace and kindness into your hearts.  I pray that as you light the candles to welcome the Shabbat, that their light will illuminate your path towards prosperity and happiness.*

The Ten Days of Awe

 


We celebrated Rosh Hashanah at the synagogue on Friday evening with greetings of "Shanah Tovah", lots of apples and honey, and shofar blowing! Thus, we began the new year 5784 and the Days of Awe (or Ten Days of Repentance) in preparation for Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement).  We enjoyed a meal together and then held our traditional service.    
 
A round, sweet challah is a tradition on Rosh Hashanah!
 
The blowing of the shofar is an urgent call to awaken from spiritual slumber .  It's a special time for self-examination, repentance, and asking for forgiveness from God and others.  It's a time to prepare for 5784 - the new year ahead.  The shofar has a beautiful sound.  I want you to hear it, so here is a link for you to hear and understand the blowing of the shofar
https://youtu.be/grZDPCKORGg?si=W6y1BnQ4DW8hcCLg

“Blow the shofar in Tziyon!
Sound an alarm on my holy mountain!”
Let all living in the land tremble,
for the Day of Adonai is coming! It’s upon us! 
Joel 2:1 CJB 
 
 
 Entering into the Hebrew year 5784, we pray for God to reveal any sins we have allowed to creep in to our lives.  We also examine ourselves to see if we have any resentments against others or if we have hurt anyone.  If so, we do our best to make peace with them. This is not always easy to do.  If we are afraid to approach someone, we ask Him to make us willing to take the action needed to make peace.  If unable to meet in person, a phone call or a letter can be used.  It's a humbling experience to admit wrong, but it's also healing.  The important thing is to JUST DO IT ! 
 
These ten days are an opportunity be still, to truly seek God, and to allow Him to move in us so we will be blessed and useful for His kingdom in the year ahead.  
 
Seek Adonai while he is available,
call on him while he is still nearby.
Isaiah 55:6 CJB
 

Shavuah Tov, Gail-Friends!  

 May your 5784 be as sweet as apples and honey.

How Can I Help???

 

 My Dear Gail-Friends,  I pray you will read this post and take action immediately.

Perhaps you, like me, have watched the news unfold about President Donald J Trump's indictment in Georgia and felt your stomach turn over with grief.  These indictments are so wrong and purely evil.  He has done nothing illegal.  This is all part of the witch hunt that began even before he was elected.  The 2020 election of Joe Biden was illegal and there is plenty of proof.

We watched the election returns on Nov 3, 2020 and saw the tremendous lead Trump had.  Then we watched in disbelief as the numbers began to go down.  It was crazy and in all our years we'd never seen anything like it.  Within the next week, we saw the evidence of fraud come pouring in from all over the country.  We saw videos of people taking ballots out from under tables.  We saw people casting illegal votes in drop-boxes.  And more . . .

If you haven't seen the movie 2000 Mules, please watch it to see more evidence of fraud.


If you haven't seen the Mike Lindell event about the election fraud, please watch it.  https://frankspeech.comhttps//frankspeech.com/Video/mike-lindells-historical-speech-to-the-nation-how-we-got-here

Pleaase go to this Lindell website for more actions you can take to secure our future elections. https://electioncrimebureau.com/    It has a place to select your state.  This is what we need to do:

Eliminate Voting Machines
Pass Legislative Reforms
Decentralize Voter Rolls

Trump WON!  

He is being railroaded and cheated and yet he has stood firm on his statement that the election was stolen.

But wait!! There's more!

Pray.  Pray for God to stop the evil people who are trying to destroy our country.

Put feet to your prayers by doing these things, too: 

Last week on Truth Social, President Trump re-truthed the following information about contacting the Supreme Court.  This is the website that will explain everything you need to know in order to take action.

https://loybrunson.com/

After you read the info, you can contact the Court with a form letter on the site (for $2.00) or . . .

You Can Send Your Own Letter:

As mentioned in the video on the site, you’ll need two pieces of paper, two envelopes and two stamps.

On each piece of paper express your support of the Brunson case. Both sheets are exactly the same. You can copy and paste our sample letter, or you can print them out from this PDF Link.

1. Download and print 2 copies of the PDF.

2. Sign your name and date both letters. 

3. One copy goes to the Supreme Court, the other copy goes to the Loy Brunson.

If you like, as a way of saying Thank You to the Loy, add a dollar or whatever you want to the envelope you send to Loy.

Loy Brunson has been working on this project for over two years. He has spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars working on this for We The People.
