The earth belongs to YHWH and all in it ...

Whether you're a monarchist or republican, a long weekend to celebrate the Queen's birthday is always appreciated! I thoroughly enjoyed having family and friends up on Sunday and Monday to enjoy the perfect weather, the Hebron environment and fellowship.

Taking in the views as we sat out on the verandah having lunch together was a real treat today. What a privilege and joy it is to enjoy this property with each other.

Today we moved the flock over to the top paddock and tagged/vaccinated our newest addition. Unfortunately we lost a lamb last week, despite having the extra alpaca, so the battle against the fox menace continues.

Many hands make light work when it comes to shoring up the fence line against intruders. Of course very cute pink gumboots gives the working party a touch of panache!

Together we made progress to ensure the greenhouse is around for a few more years yet, as well as giving it an overdue tidy up. Brendan also ripped up the rabbit warren to ensure pesky visitors are not made welcome.

Brendan made progress with investigating the bore pump shamozzle, as well as installing an internet connection on the solar unit so we can view our usage.

Today was one of those days that just makes you so very appreciative of this life and journey that YHWH has given us. The tasks and little improvements we do here and there all keep Hebron ticking along and help to create an environment where YHWH's Name is honoured, relationships are fostered and souls are refreshed.

Until next time ...

Sukkot in the Adelaide Hills

With the autumn feasts upon us I was reflecting on Sukkot last year and how the year since has been full of YHVH's blessings and encouragements. The HTTN community purchased the property nearly 19 years ago and we have worked hard to develop it. There is still much to be done so that it can facilitate the purposes that YHVH wants for it but He has proven Himself faithful to His word over the years. Not a minute too late, not a minute too soon. We are looking forward to celebrating Yom Teruah next week and then Sukkot a few weeks later. Hebron will once again be filled with the sound of shofars, singing and laughter. Yes, there have been times of weeping and even then He proves Himself merciful and faithful. Hallelu Yah!

Leaves of the tree are for the healing...

Over a year ago Yakira and I dreamt of how Hebron's fellowship house could be updated and better suited to how we functioned as a messianic community. We could see a fellowship room that had room to easily accommodate people and all the instruments. Of course there had to be room to wave branches during Sukkot and the odd flag or two as well! Being of the creative ilk we also wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing and could see the HTTN logo painted on a wall. The design of the logo has evolved over time to reflect the mandate that YHVH has set for this part of His body in Adelaide. Sonya devoted many hours to bring to life the visual expression of that mandate and Yakira redesigned the logo. Why so much attention to a logo and visual expression of the mandate? Because we as a community of torah-loving disciples of Messiah Yeshua have hearts that hold dreams and promises that are bigger than us as individuals or even co...

Shalom with Messiah

In a few weeks we will begin the next phase of the moed with Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot. As with every year, we are eagerly anticipating this time with YHVH and the community in the Adelaide Hills. One thing we say every year is that we long for the day when the wider Messianic community come together at Sukkot to celebrate with praise, feasting and fellowship. It would seem that the Messianic community is relatively young and scattered in Australia and in the early days we would at times wonder if there was anyone else responding to the call to come out of the Christian church system and return to the ancient paths. And of course there were and are. It's always so exciting when we meet another person or family who are on the same path and we can rejoice together. We all have different stories, backgrounds and experiences but the common and binding truth is that YHVH is love and that love is expressed not only in His redemption but in the fullness o...
