Strange names were written on my white board and the number of names on the list increased or decreased each time my son called with a revision. The names were nothing like I had ever seen before and I wondered a little about each of them as I read and re-read the names and the countries listed by the names.

Counting the Omer – Sefirat HaOmer
For the nation of Israel, the ‘days of the omer’ were a time of great anticipation. The barley harvest began and the wheat harvest would soon follow. They would gather, thresh, and clean grain to store for the next year. For the disciples, forty ‘days of the omer’ were spent with the risen Yeshua; the final ten they waited in Jerusalem for his promise.

Count the Omer with Psalm 119
One way to count 22 days of the omer is to read one section of Psalm 119 each day along with a complimentary verse or two from the Gospels, words spoken by Yeshua.
