4 No tags

Election Day has come and gone, and we finally know (most likely) who the next U.S. President will be. But whether God chose the crass, unlikely defender of freedom and the American way, or the politically opportunistic puppet of the progressive left, unfortunately, it doesn’t really matter.

Reboot

Hello world! After starting this blog nearly seven years ago—and hardly contributing any posts—I'm trying again! I had originally limited myself to topics related to being a Messianic Jew, so in this reboot, I'm going to permit myself to write a bit more broadly—though from the same Messianic Jewish perspective. When appropriate, I'll repost articles to ...
