I remember growing up in the Church. My mother took me religiously. And she prayed for me daily & taught me the Word of
G-d each & every day, at home. My mother was planting the seeds necessary for G-d Himself, to grow.
Now I have my own children, and I'm in my mother's shoes. I know that salvation is promised to anyone; anyone who believes that G-d loved them so much, that He gave His Son the punishment they deserved; and forgave them for the wrong committed against Him (John 3:16)
I didn't always do the right thing growing up, but my mother never gave up on me. She kept praying for me and loving me. I guess it must have driven her crazy having to wait so long to see the results; but her prayers were answered. I have accepted Y'shua/Jesus into my heart & life. And now I am saved, by His Grace.
I am still praying the same prayers my mother prayed for me, for my children. And I'm seeing the work of the L-rd, as He moves to answer them. It will always take a willingfulness of heart from your children, but it is always the will of G-d for your children to be saved.
Keep praying for your children's salvation...G-d always answers prayer that's His will.

Government leader advocates for homeschool students to be taken from parents
Is homeschooling legal? Do parents have a right to home-school their children? In most parts of the world, the answer is yes. But in this following article, you will see that homeschooling parents are facing tremendous challenge and opposition. This is an article about a home-school family who is being challenged by a Swedish liberal party member, who believes that compulsory attendance at a public school is the best thing for all children. She even believes that the government should go so far as to removing the children from the parents' custody.
We even have some issues, similar to this, here in parts of the United States. Please read this article and share your views. Also, share your stories here as well. Have you and your family ever been challenged by the government for homeschooling your children? Also, share your success stories. Share what homeschooling does for you and your family. What are the benefits? If you leave a link to your homeschooling page, I will be more than happy to review them and add them to my popular/favorite links.

Year-Round Homeschooling
We also find that it is more beneficial to homeschool year round with breaks during each season. The children seem to maintain the need for structure and routine more. Here's an example class schedule. Our school year begins in the Spring, in the month of March or April, which would be Abib or the month of Nisan, on the Biblical Calendar. [(Exodus 12:1-2, Exodus 34:18, Deuteronomy 16:1), and Strong's H24]. We have one week of Spring Break, then resume classes. We celebrate celebrate Passover, then resume classes. We then have our two-week summer break, then resume classes. We have our two-week Fall Break, then resume classes. We have a week off for Channukah, and one additional week off for winter break, then resume for classes. That's our whole school year until the next Spring.
That's it. The flexibility is G-d sent. Each family is totally different. We all have different needs, different schedules and different goals and tasks to set and complete. Having flexibility is important. You can't always have that in a public or private setting. Our children still have a routine. We just have the flexilibity to complete it on our time.

April is Autism Awareness Month: How-to Video: Recognizing the Early Signs of Autism
Shalom,
April is Autism Awareness Month. Statistics show that 1 out of every 110 children have autism; primarily in boys. My son was diagnosed with autism around 26 months. I noticed regression after 18- 24 months, and asked his pediatrician about it. She referred him to a neurologist, where we received the devastating news. I am happy to say that at age 14, my son is doing so well now, and is very high-functioning; thanks to YHVH and to all the doctors, therapists and teachers whom He has placed in our lives to help us.
It has been a tough road, and there is still more to conquer. I feel that we sometimes go through things to help others get through it. So, I wanted to share this video I discovered on YouTube. I found it to be very informative. I hope you do as well. Please feel free to pass this information along and follow our blog for more updates. If you have any questions or tips that you would like to share, please feel free to post them. We can all learn from and help each other.

Parent Tidbit- Learn from Eli's Mistakes
![]() |
Photo from Flickr.com |
The account from the Book of Samuel | ||
1Sa 3:7 | Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. | |
1Sa 3:8 | And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child. | |
1Sa 3:9 | Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. | |
1Sa 3:10 | And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. | |
1Sa 3:11 | And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. | |
1Sa 3:12 | In that day I will perform against Eli all [things] which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end. | |
1Sa 3:13 | For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not. | |
1Sa 3:14 | And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever. | |
1Sa 3:15 | And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision. | |
1Sa 3:16 | Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here [am] I. | |
1Sa 3:17 | And he said, What [is] the thing that [the LORD] hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide [it] not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide [any] thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee. | |
1Sa 3:18 | And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It [is] the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good. |
YHVH warns all of Israel as He makes the house of Eli an example of His Righteous Judgments. If parents of today believe that the laws of YHVH only exist for Ancient, and even Modern Day Israel, please think again. YHVH created all people to worship Him; not just Israel. You cannot expect your children to obey the commands of the L-rd without your guidance and discipline.
Children will do "bad things". They are learning and growing. They have a lot of peer pressure, and the same temptations we had when we were their age. They have even more than we did, thanks to technology and other things. The fifth commandment, Honor your father and your mother, speaks directly to children. But parents are told in
Eph 6:4 | And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. |
Children need boundaries. They need direction and discipline. If you start them off when they are young, then they will grow into Law-abiding citizens. Pro 22:6
Exd 20:5 | Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me; |
Below is a video I created a while back on the topic. Please view it at your leisure. I hope it will bless you, and your children.

Are You Considering Distance Learning? Find out which schools offer it and which schools are accredited
Information derived from DETC (The Distance Education and Training Council)-All Rights Reserved.
WHAT IS DISTANCE EDUCATION?
Distance education, also called online education for Internet-based learning, is designed for learners who live at a distance from educational providers and/or institutions. It is the enrollment and study with an educational institution that provides organized, formal learning opportunities for students. Presented in a sequential and logical order, the
instruction is offered wholly or primarily by distance study, through virtually any media. Historically, its predominant medium of instruction has been printed materials, however, it may incorporate or make use of videotapes, CD or DVD ROM’s, audio recordings, facsimiles, telephone communications, e-mail, and Web-based delivery systems through the Internet. The student completes each lesson or segment and submits it for correction,
grading, comment, and guidance by a qualified instructor.
WHAT ACCREDITATION MEANS
Accreditation in the United States is a means to assure and improve higher education quality, assisting institutions and programs using a set of standards developed by peers. An institution or program that has successfully completed an accreditation review has in place the needed instructional, student support and other services to assist students to achieve their educational goals. Accreditation has helped to provide the conditions necessary for the United States to develop diverse, flexible, robust and often admired higher education.
Accreditation is a both a process and a status. It is the process of reviewing schools, colleges, universities, institutions and programs to judge their educational quality – how well they serve students and society. The result of the process, if successful, is the award of “accredited status.”

It Can Only Get Better-The Test and Trials of Life
Boy, what a week I had. I felt like Job from the Bible; bad report after bad report. But I feel so blessed to have to someone strong, gentle, righteous and loving on my side: G-d. My faith was certainly being tested this week, but I could always feel G-d drawing me even closer to Him. I was starting to wonder where He was. But He was right there all the time; encouraging me and reminding me Who was in control.
You know. It seems that's when we feel closer to G-d; in the storm. At least I do. We can become complacent in our every day lives. The run-of-the mill routines of work, no rest, bills, more tests. I am just so glad to have a friend in Y'shua. I really could not have made it through this week.
I wanted to share my story, because I believe that I can't separate my physical life from my spiritual. It's all or nothing to me. This is how I make it through those rough days; G-d's Strong Arm and Gentle Touch. And that is why I want to say, Thank YOU with a song, L-rd.

What does Y'shua/Jesus Christ have to do with Channukah?
Many people will not understand this or agree with it, but please just open your hearts and mind to what the Spirit is saying. Y'shua or Jesus Christ has nothing to do with Christmas. In fact, today is the first day of Channukah. It is considered a Jewish holiday, because Y'shua went to the Jews first. The Law was given to them to be a light to the nations. (See More Below)
The fact is Y'shua/Jesus was conceived on the first day of Channukah and 9 months later, He was born. Today, is the Day that Y'shua was placed inside the womb of the Virgin Mary, by the Holy Spirit of YHVH.
Matthew 1:18-25
So His Birthday actually comes in the Fall, on the Feast of Tabernacles, the first day of Sukkot, found in the book of Leviticus 23. It is not unknown, neither is on Christmas.
Y'shua is the fullfilmement of G-d's Law. Therefore this makes sense that we were given both His conception and His Birth date, although many claim not to know the actual birthday of the L-rd
The following are articles from Biblical Holidays.com
Read them for more information on the connection of Jesus Crhsit to Channuakah and Feast of Tabernacles.

18 Now this is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Joseph, her fiance being a just man, decided to break the engagement quietly, so as not to disgrace her publicly.
20 As he considered this, he fell asleep, and an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. "Joseph, son of David," the angel said, "do not be afraid to go ahead with your marriage to Mary. For the child within her has been conceived by the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus,/Y'shua* for he will save his people from their sins."6
22 All of this happened to fulfill the Lord's message through his prophet:
23 "Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and he will be called Immanuel* (meaning, God is with us)."7
24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord commanded. He brought Mary home to be his wife,

I AM- John 8
Y'shua, (also known as Yeshua, Yahshua or Jesus Christ), has raised much controversy over the years. People of all faiths have had a profound interest in the Name of Jesus Christ or Y'shua Ha Moshiach/The Messiah. Theologians and philosophers have attempted to explain His Birth, Life, Death and Resurrection. Most people agree that Y'shua was a real historical figure, but a common number of people do not believe that He is the Son of G-d; and that He died on the cross, and rose again, as the Living Christ/Messiah.
One person we should ask is Y'shua Himself. What did Y'shua say about Himself? To sum it up in a nutshell, let's look at John Chapter 8. Let those who have eyes and those who have ears see and hear what the Spirit is saying to them.
What did Y'shua say about Himself? Is He G-d Incarnate, the Son of the Living Creator and Ruler of the Universe? Let's take a look at John 8 for answers to these spiritually thought-provoking questions.
Hebrew Names Version of the Bible: John chptr 8
Jhn 8:1 but Yeshua went to the Mount of Olives.
Jhn 8:2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught them.
Jhn 8:3 The Sofrim and the Perushim(Sandrehin and Pharasees) brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the midst,
Jhn 8:4 they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
Jhn 8:5 Now in our law, Moshe commanded us to stone such. What then do you say about her?"
Jhn 8:6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Yeshua stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
Commentary: Y'shua stooped down, and wrote on the ground with His finger. What was the significance of this. Exodus 20 recounts the giving of the Ten Commandments. Exodus 31 tells us that G-d wrote the Ten Commandments with His very own finger.
Jhn 8:7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
Jhn 8:8 Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
Jhn 8:9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Yeshua was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
Jhn 8:10 Yeshua, standing up, saw her and said, "Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?"
Jhn 8:11 She said, "No one, Lord." Yeshua said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more."
Jhn 8:12 Again, therefore, Yeshua spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."
Jhn 8:13 The Perushim therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."
Jhn 8:14 Yeshua answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don't know where I came from, or where I am going.
Jhn 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
Jhn 8:16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
Jhn 8:17 It's also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
Jhn 8:18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
Jhn 8:19 They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Yeshua answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
Jhn 8:20 Yeshua spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
Jhn 8:21 Yeshua said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can't come."
Jhn 8:22 The Yehudim therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you can't come?'"
Jhn 8:23 He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
Jhn 8:24 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."
Commentary: Y'shua uses the term, I AM again
Jhn 8:25 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Yeshua said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
Jhn 8:26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."
Jhn 8:27 They didn't understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
Jhn 8:28 Yeshua therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.
Commentary: Y'shua again claims the Name: I AM
Jhn 8:29 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
Jhn 8:30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
Jhn 8:31 Yeshua therefore said to those Yehudim who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my talmidim.
Jhn 8:32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
Jhn 8:33 They answered him, "We are Avraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, 'You will be made free?'"
Jhn 8:34 Yeshua answered them, "Most assuredly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
Commentary: The Yehudim (Jews) claimed the righteousness of Avraham through blood relations. They felt that they were right with G-d through the Law, and not through faith. Sin was not a factor in the equation, therefore they could not understand what Y'shua meant when He said that anyone who believes in Him, would be made free
Jhn 8:35 A bondservant doesn't live in the house forever. A son remains forever.
Jhn 8:36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
Jhn 8:37 I know that you are Avraham's seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
Jhn 8:38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father."
Jhn 8:39 They answered him, "Our father is Avraham." Yeshua said to them, "If you were Avraham's children, you would do the works of Avraham.
Jhn 8:40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Avraham didn't do this.
Jhn 8:41 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, YHVH."
Jhn 8:42 Therefore Yeshua said to them, "If YHVH were your Father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from YHVH. For I haven't come of myself, but he sent me.
Jhn 8:43 Why don't you understand my speech? Because you can't hear my word.
Jhn 8:44 You are of your father, hasatan,the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Jhn 8:45 But because I tell the truth, you don't believe me.
Jhn 8:46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
Jhn 8:47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don't hear, because you are not of God."
Jhn 8:48 Then the Yehudim answered him, "Don't we say well that you are a Shomroni, and have a demon?"
Jhn 8:49 Yeshua answered, "I don't have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
Jhn 8:50 But I don't seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
Jhn 8:51 Most assuredly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death."
Jhn 8:52 Then the Yehudim said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Avraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.'
Commentary: Y'shua was speaking to them about the future: how He would be crucified and later resurrected for the redemption of their sins and all of mankind. See John 3:16
Jhn 8:53 Are you greater than our father, Avraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
Jhn 8:54 Yeshua answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.
Jhn 8:55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I don't know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.
Jhn 8:56 Your father Avraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."
Jhn 8:57 The Yehudim therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Avraham?"
Jhn 8:58 Yeshua said to them, "Most assuredly, I tell you, before Avraham came into existence, I AM."
Commentary: And there it is once again. Y'shua told the Yehudim, (Jews), that He was, is and always be the Great "I AM". The Father's Sacred Name is YAH, or YHVH. Y'shua came in the Father's Name. YAHshua means YAH's salvation. And He is. That is what He was trying to explain to the Yehudim. He is the YAH's salvation for the Jews and the Gentiles. He is the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the World. He is the Great "I AM"...HaleluYAH
Jhn 8:59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Yeshua was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Thank you for reading and your comments and questions are welcome. Shalom...For His Glory
One person we should ask is Y'shua Himself. What did Y'shua say about Himself? To sum it up in a nutshell, let's look at John Chapter 8. Let those who have eyes and those who have ears see and hear what the Spirit is saying to them.
What did Y'shua say about Himself? Is He G-d Incarnate, the Son of the Living Creator and Ruler of the Universe? Let's take a look at John 8 for answers to these spiritually thought-provoking questions.
Hebrew Names Version of the Bible: John chptr 8
Jhn 8:1 but Yeshua went to the Mount of Olives.
Jhn 8:2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught them.
Jhn 8:3 The Sofrim and the Perushim(Sandrehin and Pharasees) brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the midst,
Jhn 8:4 they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
Jhn 8:5 Now in our law, Moshe commanded us to stone such. What then do you say about her?"
Jhn 8:6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Yeshua stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
Commentary: Y'shua stooped down, and wrote on the ground with His finger. What was the significance of this. Exodus 20 recounts the giving of the Ten Commandments. Exodus 31 tells us that G-d wrote the Ten Commandments with His very own finger.
Exd 31:18 | He gave to Moshe, when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written with God's finger. Y'shua stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger. He was informing the Yehudim that He was the One who made the law against adultery. He was the Great "I AM" Let's continue: |
Jhn 8:7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
Jhn 8:8 Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
Jhn 8:9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Yeshua was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
Jhn 8:10 Yeshua, standing up, saw her and said, "Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?"
Jhn 8:11 She said, "No one, Lord." Yeshua said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more."
Jhn 8:12 Again, therefore, Yeshua spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."
Jhn 8:13 The Perushim therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."
Jhn 8:14 Yeshua answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don't know where I came from, or where I am going.
Jhn 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
Jhn 8:16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
Jhn 8:17 It's also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
Jhn 8:18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
Jhn 8:19 They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Yeshua answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
Jhn 8:20 Yeshua spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
Jhn 8:21 Yeshua said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can't come."
Jhn 8:22 The Yehudim therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you can't come?'"
Jhn 8:23 He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
Jhn 8:24 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."
Commentary: Y'shua uses the term, I AM again
Jhn 8:25 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Yeshua said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
Jhn 8:26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."
Jhn 8:27 They didn't understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
Jhn 8:28 Yeshua therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.
Commentary: Y'shua again claims the Name: I AM
Jhn 8:29 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
Jhn 8:30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
Jhn 8:31 Yeshua therefore said to those Yehudim who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my talmidim.
Jhn 8:32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
Jhn 8:33 They answered him, "We are Avraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, 'You will be made free?'"
Jhn 8:34 Yeshua answered them, "Most assuredly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
Commentary: The Yehudim (Jews) claimed the righteousness of Avraham through blood relations. They felt that they were right with G-d through the Law, and not through faith. Sin was not a factor in the equation, therefore they could not understand what Y'shua meant when He said that anyone who believes in Him, would be made free
Jhn 8:35 A bondservant doesn't live in the house forever. A son remains forever.
Jhn 8:36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
Jhn 8:37 I know that you are Avraham's seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
Jhn 8:38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father."
Jhn 8:39 They answered him, "Our father is Avraham." Yeshua said to them, "If you were Avraham's children, you would do the works of Avraham.
Jhn 8:40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Avraham didn't do this.
Jhn 8:41 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, YHVH."
Jhn 8:42 Therefore Yeshua said to them, "If YHVH were your Father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from YHVH. For I haven't come of myself, but he sent me.
Jhn 8:43 Why don't you understand my speech? Because you can't hear my word.
Jhn 8:44 You are of your father, hasatan,the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Jhn 8:45 But because I tell the truth, you don't believe me.
Jhn 8:46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
Jhn 8:47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don't hear, because you are not of God."
Jhn 8:48 Then the Yehudim answered him, "Don't we say well that you are a Shomroni, and have a demon?"
Jhn 8:49 Yeshua answered, "I don't have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
Jhn 8:50 But I don't seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
Jhn 8:51 Most assuredly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death."
Jhn 8:52 Then the Yehudim said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Avraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.'
Commentary: Y'shua was speaking to them about the future: how He would be crucified and later resurrected for the redemption of their sins and all of mankind. See John 3:16
Jhn 8:53 Are you greater than our father, Avraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
Jhn 8:54 Yeshua answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.
Jhn 8:55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I don't know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.
Jhn 8:56 Your father Avraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."
Jhn 8:57 The Yehudim therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Avraham?"
Jhn 8:58 Yeshua said to them, "Most assuredly, I tell you, before Avraham came into existence, I AM."
Commentary: And there it is once again. Y'shua told the Yehudim, (Jews), that He was, is and always be the Great "I AM". The Father's Sacred Name is YAH, or YHVH. Y'shua came in the Father's Name.

Making Physical Activity a Part of a Child's Life
Let's face it. Many of us find a hard time becoming active. With all of the daily activities we have to take care of, it just seems that we can never find time for exercise. But exercise is what will actually give us more energy, keep us more healthy and fit. Children who do not learn this lesson do grow up. When they do, they will continue the cycle. So what can you do to make physical activity a part of your child's life?
I found this article from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and wanted to share it. They have offered some very concrete, concise tips for both children and adults.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can I do to get – and keep – my child active?
As a parent, you can help shape your child's attitudes and behaviors toward physical activity, and knowing these guidelines is a great place to start. Throughout their lives, encourage young people to be physically active for one hour or more each day, with activities ranging from informal, active play to organized sports. Here are some ways you can do this:
•Set a positive example by leading an active lifestyle yourself.
•Make physical activity part of your family's daily routine by taking family walks or playing active games together.
•Give your children equipment that encourages physical activity.
•Take young people to places where they can be active, such as public parks, community baseball fields or basketball courts.
•Be positive about the physical activities in which your child participates and encourage them to be interested in new activities.
•Make physical activity fun. Fun activities can be anything your child enjoys, either structured or non-structured. Activities can range from team sports or individual sports to recreational activities such as walking, running, skating, bicycling, swimming, playground activities or free-time play.
•Instead of watching television after dinner, encourage your child to find fun activities to do on their own or with friends and family, such as walking, playing chase or riding bikes.
•Be safe! Always provide protective equipment such as helmets, wrist pads or knee pads and ensure that activity is age-appropriate.
What if my child has a disability?
Physical activity is important for all children. It's best to talk with a health care provider before your child begins a physical activity routine. Try to get advice from a professional with experience in physical activity and disability. They can tell you more about the amounts and types of physical activity that are appropriate for your child's abilities.
