The Weekly #98
The Weekly is the A Pondering Heart bulletin board that will hopefully help you start over your week with a positive outlook on life! You will find lots of different info here, including links, encouragement, giveaways, family-fun, spiritual inspiration, and more! I started the Weekly as a way to share links and info that I thought important with my readers and it slowly evolved into this! If you think it’s missing something or you want to have something of yours included, please let me know. Link-backs on your site, twitter, facebook, etc are always appreciated! May YHVH bless you this week and may His will be done in your life!

SCRIPTURE
1 Better a dry piece of bread with calm than a house full of food but also full of strife. 2 An intelligent slave will rule a shameful son and share the inheritance with the brothers. 3 The crucible [tests] silver, and the furnace [tests] gold, but the one who tests hearts is YHVH. 4 An evildoer heeds wicked lips; a liar listens to destructive talk. 5 He who mocks the poor insults his maker; he who rejoices at calamity will not go unpunished. 6 Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, while the glory of children is their ancestors. 7 Fine speech is unbecoming to a boor, and even less lying lips to a leader. 8 A bribe works like a charm, in the view of him who gives it -wherever it turns, it succeeds. 9 He who conceals an offense promotes love, but he who harps on it can separate even close friends. 10 A rebuke makes more impression on a person of understanding than a hundred blows on a fool. 11 An evil person seeks only rebellion, but a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
Proverbs 17: 1-11
this week’s passage is from The Complete Jewish Bible
Wow, this is a beautiful song… beautiful music, beautiful voices, beautiful message. Shabbat Shalom to those of you who honour the Day YHVH the Father set-apart and blessed! May you be rested and filled with the Spirit as you meet YHVH at his appointed time. His is return is soon and he will recognize this sign between him and his people!
Genesis 2:3 – God blessed the seventh day and separated it as holy; because on that day God rested from all his work which he had created, so that it itself could produce.

FROM THE MAILBOX
Email: The whole ordeal with honoring my parents is a big thing…I have heard repeatedly that the key to success and living a purposeful life is OBEDIENCE! obedience to your authority, and obedience to our father in heaven…so I know that if I stand firm in that, the Lord will show me where i need to be and provide everything in his timing…I’m so excited for what the future holds!!
Reply: You are absolutely correct OBEDIENCE in the key to living a life honouring to Yah and to his Scriptures. If we allow everything to come down to one question “is this Scriptural?” and then confirm (or not) in the Scriptures our beliefs and actions our lives would be so much richer and blessed. From experience I know that obedience leads to more (spiritual) doors being opened and a great understanding of the Scriptures. When our hearts are prepared to do whatever it takes to love the Father with all our hearts, minds, and souls, leaving nothing in the way, he will give us more and more wisdom. When we rebel our eyes and ears are dulled to his Word. Even when we don’t see what lies ahead we have a Father who holds the world in the palm of his hand and our names are also inscribed there:

BE PROFOUND
“A thorough knowledge of the Scriptures is worth more than a college education.”
“Putting the mustard back in the mustard bottle, and calling Shabbat the 7th day as it is written and said by the mouth of YHVH and Messiah.”
“Church doctrine and cliches really need to be set aside in Scripture interpretation. So many times, we have no idea of what the Scriptures mean, because we don’t have the full understanding of the Tanach(our OT) and what Yah was telling us. It is like a finely-woven carpet, and we are trying to figure out the entire design from one little thread.”
“If a thousand old beliefs were ruined in our march to truth we must still march on.”
BREAD FROM THE EARTH
I had intended to post the easiest recipe for pizza dough I’ve tried yet – you can whip it up in about five minutes in the processor and about ten by hand. It’s very simple and so good! So… here’s to those who want to try it….Easy-Smeasy Pizza Dough…
PERPET’UATE, v.t. [L. perpetuo.] To make perpetual; to eternize.
LAUGHTER IS GOOD MEDICINE
Caleb wants a, o, p, r, l, e, a, d, i, [ice cream]. We don’t have any. I told him that a smoothie is a lot like ice cream when it’s frozen… and he says, “oh, yes, that’s what I mean. How do you say that is words?” [he meant spell that in letters].
Eric: I don’t have anything to do. [Note to children: never say that to your Momma] Me: Get me some tea, ice, little sugar; that’s something to do. Thank you!
PIECES OF LITERATURE
The Lost Ruby – Christoph von Schmid
This is the story of young Lieutenant Wildberg and the heavy price he paid for succumbing to the subtle temptation of worldly logic. Though at first his “indiscretion” seemed to accomplish a great and noble good, it eventually brought grief and harm to those he loved. He learned that “even the most trivial lie is an evil seed.”

Shalom, welcome to A Pondering Heart. I hope you will be challenged by what you read here and it will cause you to search deeper and deeper into the Word of YAH. My name is Jocelyn Tzahala - I am a 19yo young woman, living in Latin America, seeking to be 'set apart as YHVH is set-apart". I want my faith to resemble that Avraham because in him YHVH found a man who would trust in him with everything and act upon his Word. My hope is that my life may be a sweet fragrance unto YHVH the MOST HIGH! HalleluYAH!

I am sad that there is no ‘Jane Eyre is fantastic!’ option for the poll – ‘well-written and interesting’ is not enthusiastic enough for my true reaction as Jane Eyre is my favourite book of all time, bar the Scriptures of course :D

I have to say I was disappointed with the Tebow ad. It didn’t say anything pro-life… if it weren’t for all the controversy surrounding it, I wouldn’t have even realized that’s what it was. I voted that it was pointless and dumb (nothing against the Tebows… just against Focus on the Family). Of course even dumber were the feminist responses that it encouraged violence against women… ummm… okay then. I just wish Focus on the Family had made it clear in the ad that they were talking about a pro-life issue.
Blessings,
Kate
