  • Dinah and her husband met in the 1990s in the New York City area, got married, and after living in Israel for 12 years, returned a few years ago. She has studied TCK (Third Culture Kids) and learns daily about that, about mentoring, about music and how our brain and our temporal lobe especially are affected when we try to find a word! She has hope for Israel and I want that for you as well.

    The historical marker of the week has to do with Mahatma Gandhi, VE Day in WWII, Coca Cola's founding and DeSoto finding the MIssissippi.

  • The concept did not originate in the Christian world, it's Jewish! The prophets of Elijah and Elisha raised people from the dead, and it's recorded in our Holy Scriptures. So it's not a surprise that the Jewish believers in Yeshua also saw that as part of our proper theological view. Certainly the Orthodox Jewish world today still holds to that thought. But what about Yeshua, and Easter... is that believable? Or is that simply sci-fi?

    Historical marker of the week includes the Malvinas, Woodrow Wilson and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
