Shalom everyone! Sandi and I just got back from a four day trailer camping trip up in the high mountains of south central Oregon that stretched into a five day, then into an eight day trip.<\/p>\n

Usually when I’m gone, I pre-schedule blog posts to fit with the scripture for the day according to our Bible reading schedule. However, I decided to give myself and you a break this time.<\/p>\n

You see, keeping this blog up requires a lot of time and effort\u2014many hours each week. Sometimes we all need a break. It is my privilege to do serve the body of Yeshua through this blog, and YHVH Elohim\u00a0commissioned\u00a0me many years ago to “feed his sheep.” This is a responsibility I take very seriously, and dereliction of duty is not something that pleases him. However, he does allow his servants breaks once in a while, so they can recoup, get energized in him and hopefully come back refreshed and ready to serve him with intensified vigor. This we did when we parked our travel trailer by a 5,100 foot elevation mountain lake for the past week and just chilled. More on all of this later, but in the mean time here are several photos. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
