Even though Sandi and I are now home, we spent the previous two Shabbats in Alaska.<\/strong> Our first Shabbat we spent in Juneau visiting our Sabbath-keeping friends there, Tim and Margaret, who kindly showed us the awesome sights of YHVH’s creation in that area. We thank them for their love and generosity.<\/p>\n
