Well… blogging has not been a priority at all for me over the last year or two. However, I’ve been enticed by a few people, including my wonderful wife, to get back at it… at least on some level. Over my absence, I have been working to provide for my family, and keep from being viewed as an “authority” on any topic (for which some seemed to think). I am not an authority and do not claim to be. There is much I do not know, and as each day passes I find myself more and more in the negative balance of knowledge.
I hope that you will be able to enjoy my posts, but realize I have a 99% chance of being wrong on anything about which I write. I write, however, in order to express my observations and insights for the present moment, and these perspectives can changevery rapidly. There are many things about which I have blogged over the last half a dozen years with which my perspective has changed. I have almost removed these posts many times, but have kept them so that 1) I can remember my journey, and 2) you can possibly see it as well.
Not only are there outdated posts, but several broken links. I really apologize for this, but I just don’t have the extra hours in the day to go through each post / page and find everything that’s broken. So… please help me on this. If you click on something that interests you, and get a broken link (or content that is unexpected), please send me an email and let me know, so that I might have some kind of an idea of priority for fixing these things. Thanks in advance!
In case you’re wondering, the event that spurred me to pull the trigger was the opportunity to be a part of the Messianic blogosphere in relationship to the J-BOM (Jewish Book Of the Month). I am nearly ready to post my first review, and I look forward to participating in the Messianic community each month in this continuing dialog.
May Hashem bless you, and may He give me strength to not fall short at the task at hand. Your prayers are certainly appreciated.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I just got my desktop wallpapers moved over to my downloads page. I have a Torah Wallpaper and a Sabbath Wallpaper, and now they are available in four different sizes.

For some of you, this post may be coming as a big surprise, because you haven’t heard from me in ages. And the reason you may be hearing from me now is because my RSS feed is now working again due to an .htaccess redirect. You might want to take a look around and see what’s been going on in the many moons since we last spoke, and hopefully say hello in the process. If you want to ensure you have the current RSS feed address, please use the following url:

I look forward to hearing from you.

I have launched a new, related site where I am posting eTexts such as Pirkei Avot, the Didache, Odes of Solomon, etc. (that’s actually all I have at the moment, but will be adding more as time goes on).
http://etexts.diggingwithdarren.com/
It will be my permanent repository for such texts and will be easily searchable. I through it together quickly, but it’s already very handy and easy to use. I plan on making it a lot more functional in the future. I would also like to know if anyone would volunteer to help me add texts from time to time. If you’re interested, please give me a shout at darren [at] diggingwithdarren (dot) com. I look forward to hearing if anyone finds the site useful.

Yes, I have broken links for a little while, but at least I have a site that is working again. After fighting with my previous host and ancient WordPress installation, I decided on at least getting a quick-fix up, albeit a broken one, so that I could at least start posting again and fixing things along the way. So… If you run into a lot of broken links, I apologize in advance and will try to fix them as quickly as possible. Thanks for your patience and I look forward to getting back on the blogging wagon…
ps. This is just a temporary theme/design. I’m working on a revamp of my original.
