It is a pleasant May 2nd here in this corner of blog land where we begin our brief visit. Glad we filled the bird feeders last weekend, as I awoke to conversations occuring between several birds in our back yard during the dawn hour this morning. I am looking forward to my first local book signing this coming Saturday, at the Family Christian Store in my area. Of late I have been starting to formulate an outline for my sequel to "Winds Of Change" which may be what is termed a Christian Crossover, and somewhat a medical/psychological thriller. Hoping to begin writing in June and publish in the Summer or Fall of 2014. For fun, taking in the "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" cinecast this evening with my wife. I am glad 4 of you read my last post and hope you will come back occasionally or even leave a hello. Until next week some time, Kevud Yehoveh, his presence be with us.

Returning: Hi all, I will endeavor to delete my good-bye post as I have received some help on how to post and utilize blogspot under current format. I am happy to be back! Of late I have been renewed in my commitment to understand our faith practices as believers in Messiah Yeshua and that we are made overtakers with those who received His Word in Jerusalem, Samaria and unto the ends of the earth as referenced in the Apostolic Scriptures, Acts 1:8. Most main line Protestants tend to dismiss Olive Tree theology and use the claims it is based on shotty scholarship while continuing to assume a position of overtaker as opposed to partaker in the things of G-d. My novel "Winds Of Change" seeks to gently introduce the reader to the life of faith and also to our Jewish roots. It is published by CrossBooks, author myself, David C Russell. Additionally, I have recently become aware of a title by Daniel Boyarin that I would commend to our reading, "The Jewish Gospels" 2012. Thank you for bearing with me and will be back to visit with you at least once a week. Meantime, Kevud Yehoveh, His presence be with us.

Hello and shalom to you this February day! 
It has been over a month since posting here but have not forgotten the 15 of you who follow me or the stray reader that happens to find my thoughts hereon.  My book, Winds Of Change has been on the market since the end of November, and anticipate getting the first quarter sales report any day now.  I doubt hundreds will read it, but if 100 read it by time all is said and done, the experts tell me that's doing very well for a first time book.
-Of late I have been hearing the phrase, This is the way walk in it.  Those words were spoken by Isaiah the Tanakh Prophet, and ring true today as they did when he uttered them centuries ago.  Listening for the Master means I put down my tools of measuring my progress in whatever it is I am measuring, and simply Wait and serve where I find myself today.  Not easy because we humans like to see and touch results.
-Another thing I have been hearing is that God's Word and God's Ruach, Spirit are working together in such a way that one would know them only as a unity.  You cannot tell them apart in other words.
-Whatever your faith practice is, Kevud Yehoveh, may His presence accompany us today.  Listen and follow, enjoy the walk and tell me about it if so inclined!
-BTW my book is titled, Winds of Change, published by CrossBooks and written by yours truly David C Russell.  See you next post!

Hello to you in blog land,  I do not publish as often due in part to the new way this has been set up, and I have been posting more on Facebook or other like forums.  The novel I wrote, Winds Of Change was published at the end of November by Crossbooks.  One can secure a soft cover version from them, will post link at end of visit, or from one of the major on line book chains like B and N or Amazon.  B and N stands for Barnes and Noble.  I am learning to market in small steps, and not exactly sure where this venture will take me but know His Presence will ever be with me.  Please continue to remember myself in prayer, and will do the same for you as the struggles change, but He who has begun a good work in us will continue it to the day of redemption..  Kevud Yehoveh, His presence accompany us.  Here is the link to my novel. http://bookstore.crossbooks.com/Products/SKU-000602475/Winds-of-Change.
