Spring is springing into action

Spring is in the air, birdies singing, and our Beagle is basking in the sun on the deck, leaving only to chase rabbits or squirrels, or to threaten our neighbor's black lab that he hates with a passion for some unknown reason. The duck and drake are back at our next door neighbor's swimming pool, where they tried to nest last year. An amusing fight happened between the husband and wife. the husband wanted to shoo them off or take them out, and the wife wanted to leave them alone. When and who will win this year would be a good choice for a betting syndicate.

Several things going on, I am leading worship at a week long conference this August, and trying to work on my CD. The problem is that when I sing in public I can sound pretty good and in tune, but when recording, for some reason a part come sout that is fearful and can't sing in tune. My voice sounds different as well. So I may just have to do an instrumental CD, or get some software that changes the pitch of the notes I sing to bring them back in tune. O the joys of being a multiple.

Jewishness is still growing on me, I'm completely convinced that I am actually Jewish from what God has showed me, and from family stuff. I feel more and more convinced of how far thw western church has drifted away from the Jewish roots of the faith, and is therefore floundering in many places. Who is the real Jesus? A friend in the sky who makes polite suggestions that no-one notices, who buys Lear jets and Cadillacs for TV preachers? A person who loves seeing members of one church filling their parking lot with new Lexus' and Mercedes while others a few miles away can't afford food or clothes? Has anyone, apart from me thought of buying a cheaper car, like a GM that does everything an expensive car does and giving more to missionaries and poor families instead of spending that extra $20,000 on a piece of metal? I wish I was pastor for a day and I could preach on that. I know I'd get fired but it would be fun. Anyway, I think I'll stick with Y'shua ha Meshiach, the Son of God who lived a humble life, was crucified (believed to be the most painful and most tortorous method of exection ever devised) and through that, and rising from the dead, conquered sin, death and the devil...Give me that Y'shua any day and keep the Lexus.
