I’m still here, though I’m still not posting much presently. Am reading all comments and answering when needed.<\/p>\n

This is the busy time of the year in my tree service business. Working about 10 to 12 hours \u00a0per day. Pretty tired when I get home. Not as young and energetic as I used to be, but still going strong.<\/p>\n

Since retiring from pastoring, I’ve been on a sort of sabbatical from ministry. Trying to move into YHVH’s more perfect will for my life as I transition into the next phase of my life as almost an empty-nester and preparing for being grandparents in, hopefully, the not too distant future.<\/p>\n

For the past 27 years that I’ve been in non-stop ministry, I’ve been primarily feeding others spiritually. In the last 17 years, I’ve written about 80 teaching articles (on our website), written and published two complete Torah commentaries in 54 lessons, published more than 2000 posts on this blog not including comments, and made nearly 400 videos on our YouTube channel. This teacher is now stepping back a bit to get refreshed and taught from the Teacher from above, so I can be part of helping to move the body of Yeshua forward spiritually to the next level. This takes time and patience\u2014waiting on YHVH as the psalmist puts it.<\/p>\n

The Messianic Hebrew roots movement has kind of stalled out spiritually. This is of great concern to me. I want to be part of the next move to help prepare the way for Yeshua’s return. So I’m trying to step back and listen to heaven.<\/p>\n

As my busy work schedule permits, I’m doing a lot of reading and studying in the Word. I’m confident that good things will come out of it. I’ll share a little here and there on this blog as I am able.<\/p>\n

Love and blessings in Yeshua to everyone!<\/p>\n

Natan<\/p>\n
