A New Beginning, Again —
Every year, when the cycle of moedim (God’s appointed times) ends at Simchat Torah, the whole Jewish and Messianic world begins the cycle of reading the Torah all the way through, again.

Each rising and setting of the sun, each “evening and morning were a day,” anchors us to the concept that God’s plan is eternal. It continues in His perfect plan until all comes to completion.
Won’t you join me as I travel this amazing journey that seems to go deeper and deeper each year?
