Text of the page (random words):
a needle the letter literally means nape and this symbolizes that which is behind kof also has a meaning of holiness kadosh begins with the letter kof and with a cycle of some sort of the week from the first day to the sabbath or a season or of a life our word is kamu and in the lexicon it is transliterated to the more ancient root word quwm meaning to arise the expanded meaning of the word here is that her children stand up and confirm establish or decree i do not know that this is vocalized as much as it is confirmed by how they act in their adulthood her husband also when i first began working with this passage it was another of those which required some deep digging and deep thinking i struggled with it but focused on the pictograph of a threaded needle i saw the proverbial woman s life as a tapestry a larger tapestry than any she crafted with her hands that vision of her was confirmed later when i began to find other sites to help explain what the letter kof stood for in a larger sense her sphere of influence was far greater than just her home so i asked myself who were her children the word used for children is ben which translates immediately as son of but has an expanded meaning of community and nation i realized that this woman s sphere of influence was large the people whom she touched with her daily life were her community in the greater sense they were also her children continue at november 21 2016 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels shabat thoughts this week in my home it s the most wonderful time this week in my home i will likely arrive a little bit late i m going to go down to sam s to see him baptized i can t tell you all what this means to me both my girls gave their life to christ in their early years but not samuel he didn t want to talk about it or hear about it he often went to church for long spells of time and was genuinely moved by the preaching but he just stubbornly refused to take that one necessary step of surrendering so to have him give his life to christ finally i can t miss seeing him baptized we re gearing up here in the states for the big holiday season

proverbial woman vs 27 proverbs 31 27 she looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness tsade tsah dee is the eighteenth letter of the hebrew alphabet the ts in this word is pronounced the same way the ts is in nuts tsade got it s name from it s shape which replicates a fishing hook or a bird trap tsade is from the root word tzod meaning capture hunt catch the word in our verse is tsaphah and means to look out to keep watch it derives from a primitive root word that means to lean forward to look into the distance here i think we get a far clearer understanding of our proverbial woman in simply reading as the words stand it is quite easy to see the western understanding of this woman is that she is always busy but in studying the hebrew one

recently read in such good company eleven years of laughter mayhem and fun in the sandbox by carol burnett i loved watching the carol burnett show when i was growing up i thought ms burnett was personable and seemed very much a person anyone might easily get to know i was aware that she was a renowned comedic actress but she certainly seemed very approachable and that was in part because of her question and answer sessions at the beginning of her shows in this book she explains how these sessions were meant to do just that make her seem girl next door approachable and real continue at

finally did it came about as the result of a leftover makeover i thought about each ingredient as i put the recipe together broccoli i was using stems and a few florets that i steamed together i have been guilty many times of not using the stems as i ve planned to do but this time i did use forethought and steamed them while steaming the florets for a meal i had a few florets left and chopped the stems up with them there was the broccoli called for in the recipe and it was using up every bit of that food not bad thus far croutons were the next ingredient i make these using leftover slices of bread those too small to make toast or a sandwich and the end pieces i generally put the cubed bread in the oven when i have it on to bake something else i remove the item that was cooking set the pan of bread cubes in the oven and turn off the heat generally within an hour or so i have a pan of croutons so this ingredient too was inexpensive i knew the recipe called for two different salad dressings blue cheese and ranch i d just made up a half recipe of ranch dressing over the weekend john prefers blue cheese or french the ranch dressing wasn t likely to be finished before spoiling no hardship to use it up to avoid waste the blue cheese dressing is more pricey i was cautious about using that ingredient in fact from here the recipe and my made up version were widely variant i did not want to use half a jar of that dressing in my recipe that would have increased the cost by 2 the recipe also called for 6 eggs nope wasn t going to do that either that was another 50 in cost 8 ounces of shredded cheddar uhm nooooo cost 1 79 this simple little recipe meant to use up a variety of things leftover was now escalating into the 4 range a per serving cost of about 1 each serving no i just failed to see the economy in that now i ve shared that i seldom know the cost per meal i serve or even the cost per serving of any recipe but common sense helped me this time had this been a main course 1 per serving is not too far a reach but it was meant to be a side dish i decided at this point expertise was going to have to come into play over recipe eggs are generally meant for binding in a strata type recipe i knew from past experience at altering these types of recipes that 6 eggs are just not necessary i decreased the blue cheese dressing by half and used milk in place of it a thinner liquid by all means but it worked just fine and i did have the egg for thickening the liquid i added 1 beaten egg and half the cheese called for in the end my broccoli strata total cost came in somewhere closer to 1 80 for four servings still a little high but far better than 1 per serving and this was a half recipe i was making not a full recipe by the way the strata set up just fine and tasted awesome even the leftovers were good as i planned menus last week i looked at several recipes many i d have loved to try or make once more but i couldn t they weren t part of my budget balanced meal plan i found myself looking at recipes and meal plans overall differently all because of that silly bit of leftover broccoli i wished to use at november 14 2016 3 comments email this

ayin ah yeen is our next letter like the letter aleph the letter ayin is a silent letter having no sound of it s own the pictograph for this letter is an eye the word ayin means eye or to see and has an expanded meaning of understand and obey it might be said that this eye is an inner eye representing the holy spirit vision and helps us determine between good and evil in other words we live rightly we can easily distinquish between right and wrong and will make the right choices if we ve allowed holy spirit to guide our thinking and control our heart 22 the eye is the lamp of the body so if your eye is healthy your whole body will be full of light 23 but if your eye is bad your whole body will be full of darkness if then the light in you is darkness how great is the darkness matthew 6 22 23 esv our word here is az meaning strength it comes from an ancient root word which has a deeper meaning than physical strength it denotes spiritual strength there is a second word in this verse that begins with ayin and that is acharown which means latter i referred to the proverial woman in our previous verse as being spiritually prepared this verse in analysis of the hebrew gives ample evidence of that her clothing here are truly her spiritual character the word that is translated as dignity also translates into excellence and majestic both words which gives an added depth of meaning that she laughs represents her joy in her own latter days when she is standing before the throne of god at november 13 2016 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share

feeders and seed set out as well i ve noticed misu stops by for a drink when she comes back from the fields by the way she never bothers the birds but she will climb the steps and stretch out to drink

resembles a shield the ancient root work for samekh means to lean upon to uphold to support the sages say that samekh also represents the cyclical upward spiral of seasons it is also said to represent the sukkah a shelter that represented the omnipresence of god and his continual protection the hebrew word here in this verse is samakh meaning cloak or linen garment according to one translation of the hebrew the lexicon word used is cadiyn which means to envelop or wrap around digging thru the lexicon meanings of each of the words in this verse i get a sense of a much much deeper meaning for one thing the garments she makes are described as sheets or a sort of gown worn next to the bare skin the sashes are described in the lexicon as a girdle if you read about jewish funerary traditions the traditional burial clothing includes the sheets or shroud which envelops the body as well as a sort of belt that is tied about the waist the garmen...
