I spent much of the weekend in the mountains near L.A., where warmer temperatures have begun to melt off much of the snow cover from late December. I took my kids sledding on Sunday, but my plans to visit some sledding slopes on Monday were thwarted by an unexpected rainstorm.
This is a very good thing. We need as much water as possible in California, to stave off possibly crippling water restrictions. This year was supposed to be a dry "La Niña" year, so any amount of rain or snow is helpful. I don't know how lucky we will continue to be, but I am praying (literally) and hoping for more rain.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
