Jehoshaphat (king of Judah 870-848 BC) was renowned for his godliness and devotion to orthodoxy. An accomplished warrior, his battlefield successes included the defeat of a superior army of Moabites, Ammonites and Meunites (2 Chronicles 20).

Take up your position; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you" (2 Chronicles 20: 16-17). Also…

I was around 30 years old. I was sleeping one day and then this weird dream occurred. But before I tell you what this dream was, I have to give you a little background on my story. See my country has been in oppression for as long as I can remember and like these people around me just cry out to God when it gets really bad, then when it gets better, they don’t change anything. The last “deliverer” we’ve had was this dude named Othniel. Anyways, so yeah, my people are now crying out to God again…

The thing I miss most about being a kid is the extra free time I would…

When a young girl celebrates her Bat Mitzvah, the ceremony is often seen to be one which celebrates her becoming an adult, and while this may be true, this is only the surface of what it means to be a Bat Mitzvah. Literally meaning “daughter of the commandment”, a Bat Mitzvah is when a young girl makes the free choice to accept and abide by Jewish laws, and take responsibility for her Jewish faith. This is why the passage she reads from the Tanakh at the ceremony should be about a person whom…

I experienced traveling to Nicaragua vicariously through my husband this past January and know some of the steps to traveling into South America. I have done a fair amount of traveling within the USA, however! I have hiked Arches National Park in Moab, Utah and have hiked a mountainside in Park City, Utah. I was a Civil War reenactor for about 15 years growing up and know what it’s like to have to make your own fire pit, shop wood, keep a fire going, and cooking your food over a fire, and keep…
