I really do not have time to write on my blog today, but writing is important and so is the blogging community in which I belong. Over the last few month’s I have been slowly going through Henri Nouwen’s book, Home Tonight , this book is a guide to finding our spiritual home in Christ. In the third chapter, a quote from Oriah’s book, The Invitation , inspired me to write.

Neat site!
I have a curious question. Your Blog site uses the name "Yeshua", yet in your blog you freely call him by his Greek name "Jesus".

I was noticing I did use both names. I mentioned I am learning daily to follow Jesus/Yeshua. I am learning much about His Kingdom, His teachings, etc. Like most areas in my life learning new names for someone takes a bit of getting use to. I have always called my Lord, Jesus, but have been trying to call Him Yeshua. Searching the Hebrews roots of Christianity has been an interesting journey, some of my findings have caused me to question many traditional routines why I do what I do...
Thank you for asking me this question, it has challanged me to think. I do have friends on both sides some who only use Yeshua and some who use Jesus.
