Passover eve. My eldest son is sitting right next to me in the living room. Yesterday he took off his uniform for the last time and finished three years of service that felt like an eternity. The house should be filled with the joy of his return, with true freedom and that sigh of relief I have been waiting a thousand days for. But my hands are shaking as I type this and the tears just will not stop. They are falling onto the keyboard and blurring everything. How can I celebrate when the heart is shattered? The news is filled with names again and the faces of young boys. More families whose entire world collapsed in a single second just as they were setting the holiday table. While I am hugging my son, other parents are receiving the knock on the door that will change their lives forever. Our table will be full tonight but the empty chairs in other homes are screaming to the heavens. It is an unbearable pain. I look at my son, my hero who came home, and I feel guilt for my joy in the face of their loss. I have no words to comfort them and no words to explain how the heart can hold so much light and so much darkness at the same time. When you raise your glass tonight, please think of them. Think of those who did not come back and those whose freedom was bought with their blood. We celebrate our liberty because of the children who gave everything. May their memory be a blessing. My heart is with the families. 🙏💔

@rabbriansamuel I avoid it..

Halal meat is slaughtered according to Islamic law, and a blessing is spoken in the name of Allah. Should Christians avoid halal meat? Does this count as "meat sacrificed to idols"?

I hate asking for prayer without specifics, but I, we, need prayer. I cannot comfortably share exactly what for, but our family would be blessed by and is desperate for Christian prayer. I am grateful to the Lord for Christian X and for your kindnesses in Jesus Christ.

It’s February 2007, I’d been in Afghanistan for about 6 weeks. This was the most stressful moment of my life. I was there as an orthopedic trauma surgeon and deployed to Bagram. I had just turned 40 years old and was relatively new in my surgical career. The operations tempo was high and we were pretty inundated with trauma every day. Little kids getting legs blown off by landmines, IED explosions and rocket blasts were pretty common. We were in a tiny hospital made out of plywood with a tin roof. We had 2 operating rooms that were basically Connex boxes and I had to constantly hunch over so my head didn’t wack into the OR lights. My surgical partner Dr Tom Large (pictured along with me and Dr Claude Hawkins our commander ) and I operated every single day often 14-16 hours a day due to non stop trauma either locally or shipped in as we were the main referral hub for the war theater. We often had various politicians stoping by the facility for photo ops and in February we had the vice president coming by. Apparently the Taliban had gotten intel on his visit and wanted to try and make a statement of possibly kill him. As the base was on high alert they had no chance of success but that did not deter them. Routinely we would have dozens of locals with their young kids hanging outside our main gates because we often would give them food, clothing and other resources. A suicide bomber decided that this is where the statement would take place. We were in the OR doing our usual trauma stuff when we were alerted that a mass casualty even had occur at our gate. The bomber approach the crowd of locals and detonated his suicide vest. Immediately 20 or so were killed with another 25 to 30 severely injured. The suicide vests often contained things like screws, ball bearing, nails etc.. often covered in feces to increase the lethality via infection for those that survived the blast. The ER was full of frenetic activity as the medics scrambled to resuscitate, triage and treat as many people as possible. The triage for a mass casualty event looks is designed to sort the wounded into three categories. 1. Unsalvageable, not going to live, massive wounds, exposed brain or something similar 2. Injured but not critical, can wait a bit for the OR- broken bones, limb injuries etc 3. Critically injured but potentially can be saved. Often belly bleeding- if we can get them to the OR, open them up and find the bleeding and stop it we can resuscitate them It was the 3rd group that we were focused on as surgeons. My specialty was orthopedics and I had plenty to do to keep me busy for the next 40 or so hours with all the broken bones and extremity trauma that was coming in, but the initial task was to try and help save the wounded with the belly trauma and so we were scrubbed and assisting our general surgeons in finding the bleeding and shutting it down. We had been at in for about an hour or so and the patient on the table was a local afghan civilian who was going to die if we didn’t stop the bleeding. There were about 5 of us packed into the tiny little Connex box/OR and were frantically digging through this guys intestine looking for bleeders. This is, as you might imagine a bit stressful, but then a nurse comes into the room and lets us know, that they think there is another suicide bomber in the hospital and they are recommending we evacuate. A common ploy used by the Taliban was to set off a bomb, wait for the first responder and then detonate a second bomb to kill them as well. The tension in the room was palpable, I think everyone’s butt cheeks clenched up, I know mine did. The general surgeon looked at all of us, the other surgeons, the scrub tech, or nurse and anesthesiologist and said what do you guys want to do? Evacuate or keep going and try and save this guy. Without hesitation every single one of said “fuck it, keep going, let’s save this guy” For the next twenty minutes we operated as quickly …..

Saudi Arabia: "Sheba and Dedan" has joined Israel and the US in their war against Iran. 2500 years ago, the biblical prophet Ezekiel foresaw the geopolitical alignment we are watching emerge right now.

@rabbriansamuel Amen and Amen 🙏 🙌

What Scriptures led me, a Jew, to believe that Jesus is the Messiah? Part 2 Isaiah 2:3: For out of Zion shall go forth the Torah, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. Isaiah writes that when the Messiah comes, the Torah will go forth from Zion to the nations. This has already happened, through Jesus. Literally billions of Christians not only carry around a Torah in the form of their Bible, but seek to live according to its moral and ethical standards. Does it mean that Christians keep kosher, keep Shabbat, wear fringes? Mostly no. But billions of Christians around the world, across centuries, across all nations, keep the Torah's moral laws, because the word of God has been written on their hearts. There's nothing more Messianic than this! This is arguably one of the best proofs that Jesus is actually the Jewish Messiah. The Torah has indeed gone forth from Zion and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem. No future Messianic candidate will do it better than Jesus already did. Shabbat shalom! ❤️❤️❤️

Jesus urged followers to pay careful attention. The greatest sign of the last days is the abomination of desolation. This signals the greatest tribulation humanity will ever face—a crucial warning. #EndTimes #Christianity
