The Weekly is the A Pondering Heart bulletin board that will hopefully help you start over your week with a positive outlook on life!

SCRIPTURE
You are to remember everything of the way in which Yahveh led you these forty years in the desert, humbling and testing you in order to know what was in your heart – whether you would obey his mitzvot or not. 3 He humbled you, allowing you to become hungry, and then fed you with man, which neither you nor your ancestors had ever known, to make you understand that a person does not live on food alone but on everything that comes from the mouth of Yahveh.
{Deuteronomy 8:2-3}
TROUBLES and GOD’s people …has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you… Deut. 8 http://tinyurl.com/yho6sxl
this week’s passage is from The Complete Jewish Bible
All of us have times in our lives where our hearts are heavy. Whether we are burdened down with despair or grief or hopelessness, most people have lived through these emotions. There will be these times in the lives of humans. There will be times of hopelessness.
What is your heart heavy with today? He knows….. With A Heavy Heart

FROM THE MAILBOX
Email: Hello,
Maybe you don’t receive my emails.
I am working on a Hungarian magazine about Biblival parenting, family and homeschooling. People around us do not use internet very much, so I would like to bring them good articles in my magazine.It would be a non-profit one. I got the permission of the Homeschool Enrichment Magazine to translate their articles. May I translate some of your posts about modesty for example?
I hope you answer me this time.
God bless you.
I like your blog!

BREAD FROM THE EARTH
…the perfect addition to a hot cup of hazelnut coffee on a cold winter’s morn…
I’ve discovered a new line of bread – doughnuts. Those soft, sweet, bakery-licious things you get in a box or a paper warm from the bakery is what I’ve discovered. I’ve got a new motto – anything that can be bought at the store can be made at home. Seriously – ANYTHING….. Homemade Doughnuts
DICTIONARY LOOKUP
AD’AM, n. In Heb., Man; primarily, the name of the human species, mankind; appropriately, the first Man, the progenitor of the human race. The word signifies form, shape, or suitable form, hence, species. It is evidently connected with Heb., to be like or equal, to form an image, to assimilate. Whence the sense of likeness, image, form, shape; Gr., a body, like. [See Man.]
Adam’s apple, a species of citron [See Citron] also the prominent part of the throat. Ad’am’s needle, the popular name of the yucca, a plant of four species, cultivated in gardens. Of the roots, the Indians made a kind of bread. [See Yucca.]
LAUGHTER IS GOOD MEDICINE
Proper Wages
A man owned a small farm in South Georgia. The Wage and Hour Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent to interview him. “You just give me a list of your employees and tell me how much you pay them.”
“All right,” said the farmer. “I have a hired man. Been with me for three years. I pay him $600 a week, plus room and board. I have a cook. She’s been here six months. She gets $500 a week plus room and board.”
“Anybody else?” asked the agent as he scribbled on a note pad.
“Yeah,” the farmer said. “There’s a half-wit here. Works about eighteen hours a day. I pay him ten dollars a week and give him chewing tobacco.”
“A ha!” the agent roared. “I want to talk to that half-wit!”
“You’re talkin’ to him,” said the farmer.

Thank you for visiting my site! I hope that it has encouraged and challenged you in someway. Please be aware that my blog is not intended for any debatable purposes (honestly!!), though that's not to say I'm not open to be shown the error of my ways via the Scriptures. This is simply just a place for me to share what Yahveh-God is convicting me of and showing me in my walk with Him. Please read "You're Judgmental" before commenting if the thought strikes you.
I have comments set for moderation and I reserve the right to deny comments if I feel it necessary. I will deny comments that go against the Scriptures. If you are going to refute what I say, please use a Scripture for each belief, in context. I will edit pagan-names and words from comments in obedience of Exodus 23:13.
Also note that if you do not use a valid email address your comment will not be published, no exceptions. Your email is only seen by me so that I might clear my website of spammers. You can read My Site, My Right for more on my site rules.

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
