July 12, 2003 We decided to finally formalize our commitments to the faith we practice — Two-Testament (also known as Messianic) Judaism. I (Roni) officially converted and Kevin, who had not had a Bar Mitzvah ceremony as a boy, decided he wanted to publicly declare his commitment to being a "son of the commandment" (literal translation of Bar Mitzvah). Afterwards, we of course had a party, celebrating with family and friends at a Middle Eastern restaurant.
At times, cancer and treatment seems to overshadow everything. That's when we remind ourselves that this is a season of life and that we've been blessed with seasons of pleasure and delight. Life is weathering the harsh winters and frolicking in carefree summers, but even in the winters of life there are pleasures and comforts.
