Crackers


1 cup rendered leaven (also known as sourdough discard)
1/4 cup soft butter
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup fresh integral flour 
1/4 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon baking soda
olive oil spray & sea salt for topping

In a stand mixer with the dough hook, combine all ingredients and knead until smooth. If the dough still looks sticky, add flour a bit at a time until dough is soft but does not stick to fingers. Let the dough ferment at least 4 hours. Knead in 1/4 tsp baking soda. Divide into thirds. Preheat oven to 350℉, and cut three pieces of parchment to fit onto your baking sheet exactly. Dust parchment with flour, then roll 1/3 of the dough very thin, and even. The dough should be about 1/8" or so thick. Spray with olive oil spray, sprinkle with salt, then use a pizza cutter to cut squares. Slide parchment with crackers onto baking sheet. Prepare another third the same way. Bake about 10 minutes before checking; as the outer crackers begin to crisp/brown, remove them onto a plate and continue baking remaining crackers. Check every few minutes and repeat. Prepare final third on the last sheet of parchment while the first sheet(s) are baking.

Truth or Tradition?

 Seven years ago, our family began observing what we call Teshuah . I liked the seven letter word because it filled out my chalkboard calendar nicely. The third week in February, both in 2014 and in 2016, we were delivered out of very difficult situations. The first was a mortgage we couldn't pay for a house we couldn't afford to fix according to HOA standards and a commute we couldn't sustain. We now acknowledge that our difficulties stemmed from idolatry, coveting, and lack of discipline/wisdom. The second, a little house so full of mold that I had not been able to fully breathe in the two years we lived there, ending with a rat in the crawlspace which was only evacuated by a hot water leak that steamed up through a vent straight to the attic, condensing all that water over our belongings, which then molded. Masked, I threw out a massive portion of our baby things, crying and wondering what we should do. He provided. That's what. He moved us to the cape cod on Dellros

Power and Protection

  This morning, as I thanked  יהוה ‎  for His perfect knowledge and order in knitting together the new person within my womb a scripture from Proverbs came to mind: “The Lord by wisdom founded the earth, By understanding He established the heavens.”  Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬  Then this morning, the Spirit took me to Jeremiah, & I heard this echo:  “It is He who made the earth by His power, Who established the world by His wisdom; And by His understanding He has stretched out the heavens.”  Jeremiah‬ ‭10‬:‭12‬ ‭‬ As the only One competent and capable of creating the heavens and the earth, designed the human body in its completeness and all life and symbiotic relationships between every living thing, isn’t it preposterous to believe that He should need our supervision ensuring His work is good?  ““Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker— An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth! Will the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you doing?’ Or the thing you are making say, ‘He has no ha

contentment? It is a brilliant  gift to be a mother. I have an infant, 10 months old yesterday. She's a strong and very energetic thing; she prefers not to rest. As I sing to her and nurse her to sleep, I hear myself whisper things to her:      "You are so loved."      "You have all that you need."      "You may rest, you will not miss anything that is for you."      "I have more for you. There is more than enough for you." Not very long ago at all, I was too busy overlooking  my opportunity to be my children's imprinter. Discipler.  Their first encounter with God's love. I found out recently that it is  a yoke because it requires full attention and engagement  in order to cultivate them as Christ cultivates me. Because of His mercy, He does not shame me for my past mistakes, and yet I know  He was offering that blessing back then...but I turned it down for something I couldn't let go of.
