Please call me so we can catch up and meet somewhere to talk!! The Shema is "Here oh Israel, The Lord is G-d, The Lord is one." Shema, Yisrael, Adoni Aleohanuh, Adoni, Ech Chad. (phonetic) You know how we have a mazozah on our door posts? Inside of them is the Shema, they must be Kosher=hand written by a scribe with no mistakes. We put them on every door except the bathroom-obvious reasons, I think. If we know we are dying, it is supposed to be the last thing we say. When we recite it during our daily prayers, we close our eyes when we say it--mostly symbolic, but is to show nothing will distract us from what we are saying. The Shema is actually pages long, but it's that one line--the first line, that people actually think of as the Shema. Any questions? :) Please call me soon. Need to sit down and talk with you!

When we recite it during our daily prayers, we close our eyes when we say it–mostly symbolic, but is to show nothing will distract us from what we are saying. The Shema is actually pages long, but it’s that one line–the first line, that people actually think of as the Shema.

Any questions? :)

Please call me soon. Need to sit down and talk with you!

This is both a heart lifting and a heart wrenching piece as some got out and some feel right in. Jonnelle then moves on to make a nice comparison to how God reaches out to all of us and some take hold and some let go of the God thrown rope.

]]> Comment on If I only… by rev222 http://habhak.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/if-i-only/#comment-173 rev222 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 02:59:03 +0000 http://habhak.wordpress.com/?p=200#comment-173 I too have always loved these verses and it seems to me that each time I read them something new captivates my imagination. Today as I was reading your blog and reflecting on your thoughts regarding these these passages I was touched. I began to think about how beautiful the use of the word daughter is in this particular portion of Scripture. I realized that this text is very much the tale of two daughters- the ruler's daughter who is supposedly the important one and an unnamed woman who would have been viewed as an inconsequential outcast. When Jesus looks down and sees the woman trembling with fear after she touches the hem of his prayer shawl, as she surely must have been frightened and perhaps even embarrassed when Jesus realized what had happened. I imagine the alienation and the loneliness she must have felt as the pain of twelve years culminated in that brief moment of relief as she kneels at Jesus feet. I notice especially how the savior addresses her hurt, and ours, with the healing tenderness of a single word, "Daughter." How lovely and precious a word this is for the woman in this story- she is not a condition, she not an outcast nor an untouchable she IS a daughter of God. How lovely and precious the word truly is- a declaration that each person no matter who they are or where they come from are welcomed in the kingdom of God. Thank you so much for your reflection:-) Pollyanna I too have always loved these verses and it seems to me that each time I read them something new captivates my imagination.

Thank you for sharing your review. You said, "It was personally convicting in that I would be one of those people – so busy, so distracted that I would not look around to see who was hurting and how I could provide comfort." I was worse when it came to prostitutes. I saw them and looked down on them. And for that, I will forever spend what I can of my time, energy and money to help them and programs like Magdalene and Thistle Farms. I'm going to add a link to this right now. OH...also, thank you for posting about Emmaus Church. I did a cursory read of their site, and I would love to visit them--especially since they actually have church at at reasonable hour! (2pm) Maybe we could go together then to a late lunch afterwards. Again, thanks for sharing such a beautiful review. OH this was so wonderful. Thank you for sharing your review.
