We had an amazing weekend! Every shabbat the past few weeks I’m happily surprised. Not only to have found a group of people who love their Lord so much that all they want to do is talk and learn about him (8 hour shabbat gatherings where nothing but Bible is discussed? really? I didn’t know that existed!) But not only that but to find myself craving and enjoying that. I don’t want to down the folks at where we use to attend because it was me too! I didn’t stand up from the service and want to discuss Bible either. So much has changed in my heart over the past few months. I’m no longer happy to just sit through a 1 hour service and then instantly hop up and start talking about anything BUT scripture and YHVH! How did we reach that point? HOW did our hearts become so hard that we felt it’s a bit of an effort to make it through a 1 hour service 3 times a week and then the second it’s over NOTHING about bible is mentioned? When you get-together with friends it’s everything but Bible. Sure, there may be a bible study once a month that lasts for a little bit but is that enough? If that’s all we are doing is that a sign that our hearts just are NOT right? That the spirit of YHVH is NOT in our lives? For me it was not there. I praise YHVH that my life has changed and I can see myself growing closer to him! I delight in his word and his law, but I still see area’s in my life that must be molded to better show his life in me. My prayer to YHVH is that he will guide me and work in my life to make me more closely reflect him. 
This past weekend we camped out with several families in YHVH.. for 3 days from sunset (well.. we did emerge closer to 8) to sundown (or more like midnight) it was nothing but talking about the word.. Thank you for leading my heart to a place that rejoices in that!
And… some pictures from this shabbat weekend!

I feel the same way. It makes me sad when I think that I feel more comfortable studying and praying with my “wordly” friends than the people that I attend church with. If it wasn’t for my own convictions in the Church of Christ I would go to a different church. I have often wondered why it is that we can’t discuss the bible together and why we don’t get together and pray for one another, and why we don’t openly talk about him together and I have came to the conclusion it is because, so many do not know how to disagree and so many are involved in other recreations that they don’t have time to sit and study with someone. I’m saddend that ya’ll aren’t attending the Lord’s church anymore, but I try to look at the positive and think that some people may be shaken on this and relize that there is more to church than modesty, divorce & remarriage, convienence worship, jewelry and church politcs.
