Sunny Spring Days

By
 Psalm 138 
I give you thanks with all my heart.
Not to idols, but to you I sing praise.
2 I bow down toward your kadosh temple
and give thanks to your name for your grace and truth;
    for you have made your word [even] greater
    than the whole of your reputation.
3 When I called, you answered me,
you made me bold and strong.
4 All the kings of the earth will thank you, YHVH,
when they hear the words you have spoken.


5 They will sing about YHVH’s ways,
“Great is the kavod of YHVH!”
6 For though YHVH is high, he cares for the lowly;
while the proud he perceives from afar.
7 You keep me alive when surrounded by danger;
you put out your hand when my enemies rage;
with your right hand you save me.
8 YHVH will fulfill his purpose for me.
Your mercy, YHVH, continues forever.
Don’t abandon the work of your hands!


This week of spring we have enjoyed sunny days and survived wild windy days.  Hebron is such a beautiful place on these warm and pleasant days.

Millie and Fergie (or T-Bone and Rump) have settled in well and eagerly come up to be hand-fed hay.  Fergie's leg is healing nicely and he is even managing an excited little skip when he runs up for his hay.


The fruit trees have been sprayed for curly leaf this week and the apricots of set some fruit.  Unfortunately the wind blew a lot of blossom off so there's not a great amount this year either.  I will get some bird netting this week and make sure that the little fruit we have are not fodder for the birds.

The flock are all doing well, but some have decided to test Trevor's electric fence and escape through to the dam paddock.  However, they're cleaning up the shed paddock slowly but surely and even bunkered down in front of the shed during the high winds.

After a discussion with Commodore Sharkey it was decided that our excellent boating facilities should not be wasted and therefore an annual Sukkot Regatta will be held each year.  

Everyone is encouraged to prepare their entries according to the only regatta rule - only wind, steam or electric engines allowed.  There will be different class events accordingly.  Practice events may be held during the year, depending on the weather.  I thought I might have a go at building this:  http://www.csiro.au/helix/sciencemail/activities/Steamboat.html

Shalom until next time

    Hah, until I followed your link I was assuming it was something that should carry someone, (was rather excited about the idea)

      Now there's a good idea! We should do a raft race this summer before the dam goes dry.

Sukkot in the Adelaide Hills

By
  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!

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

By
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...
