We Are Alive! October 21st, 2023 The Last Great Day

It's the last great day of the festival and the sun is shining. It's still cold, but that didn't stop us from enjoying a fantastic breakfast with everyone!

The biggest surprise was after breakfast, our gracious hosts gifted our family something I had desired for years, but couldn't afford: a large shofar or ram's horn.

It was a pleasure playing this shofar on the Sabbath and the Last Greatest Day of the Festival.

Praise and Worship was amazing, as everyone was celebrating Sabbath and having meaningful conversations. I even blew the Shofar during worship, adding a great sound to the music!

That evening, we spent some time in the clubhouse and taught a few people how to play Settlers of Catan.

That night, the temperature dropped and we fired up the wood stove. We enjoyed an extra 10 - 15 degrees more warmth in our tent, then we would have had to endure otherwise. We ran it until we were tucked in warm in our beds and then we allowed it to burn out.

The next morning, we fired it up again and made hot tea for my wife and reheated some coffee for myself.

My daughter warmed by the wood stove, and she heated up for some toasty warm socks!

Although this completes the festival, we are remaining another full day before departing for home. Many are celebrating the 8th day on Sunday and we are delighted to join in with the celebrations!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.

Bank Bailout Special!

It's happening, folks. The banks are going under! To educate our children about what is going on, there is a "Bank Bailout Book Bonanza" going on with the Tuttle Twins! Use coupon code FORTY for 40% off your purchase! Check out the books here.

"Politicians like problems because they can claim to have solutions... but their solutions often create even more problems."

The more gatherings in harmony the better. Establishing the communal and individual maintenance of our lives and sharing spiritual and physical edification, both giving and receiving.

Happy Sunday! I'm glad to share the adventure, although when things go well, it's a little less exciting. I have to say, I'm OK with less exciting adventures. :-)

One of the best things about this festival is the mostly open schedule. Most of it is visiting and maintaining camp and spending time with family. Even the potlucks are all optional, although we made it a point to participate as much as we could.

Wow, fantastic to hear that you and your family enjoyed the last day of the ceremony. But come to think of it, that ram horn is huge, boy! I am just wondering the deep sounds that will be coming out of it !LOL

I thought it would be a deep sound also, but it's surprisingly high-pitched. I was hoping this video would embed, but it appears only as a link. Click on the YT short below to hear the horn blow!

Wow, that shofar is huge! Braja, Ano's Jewish mother, has a shofar, but it's tiny by comparison to that one! That's such a wonderful gift to receive! I'm really glad that the festival was so good for all of you! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

It's something that would have been challenging to save up for, now the Holy sound of the Shofar can be heard in our household and in our neighborhood. No complaints... yet.
