I decided to make some roast with mashed potatoes and a side of broccoli for Shabbat dinner. As I’m cooking, my oldest son and I discussed a compelling testimony a friend of mine shared. We discussed the widows and orphans and how we must humble ourselves. My son says to me, “I have a heavyContinue reading “Weight of a Crown”

Hissing Cacti’s and Yeshua’s love
This is an older writing from 2018, but I feel this is very much for today. A few months back, I had a dream that I have been pondering.

Are we dead yet?
I woke up this morning with dying on my mind, not the physical type of death but the spiritual. I grew up with a well-known phrase: “A coward dies a thousand deaths, but a soldier dies but one.” ― Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms. I keep telling myself what lies we are fed. WeContinue reading “Are we dead yet?”
Just me, myself and the great I Am
Hey, I’m Crystal. Just another soul learning who I am and where I belong in this world.
