Bittersweet Day

28 November 2024 / 27 Cheshvan 5785 Today is a bittersweet day! It is a time of Thanksgiving, and also a time of sorrow when we think of those who have gone on before us! We will always dearly love them, and cherish the precious memories we have made together, until that Great and Glorious Day when we will see our loved ones in Heaven, especially my beloved Husband! Today happens to…

Always Faithful!

10 November 2024 / 10 Cheshvan 5785 Updated 11 November 2024 Veterans Day Today is the 249th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps, of which I, my dear Husband, and His “best man” belong! Our motto, “Semper fi,” is a shortened version of the Latin phrase semper fidelis, which means “always faithful.” “Once a Marine, always a Marine,” describes the lifelong commitment to serving God, our country, and our fellow man,…

My Real Father

My parents divorced when I was ten years old, and I never knew my real father. My mother always painted a terrible picture of him, and she never allowed us to see him.  After I was married and had children of my own, to my pleasant surprise, he contacted me. I was inspired to write the following poem as I reflected on the final conversations I had with my father before he…

The Last Day

The Last Day of the Feast of Tabernacles 13 October 2023 / 28 Tishrei 5784 I published the first part of this article on 6 October 2023 /  21 Tishrei 5784, the Last Day of the Feast, and I planned to finish it, but I awoke to the news of the horrific attack against the innocent people in Israel. It happened to be the 50th Anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, when…

A Special Day

Today is a special Day for me–it has been eight years since I published the V-ictory (5th) Edition of “Walking With the Enemy.” (The initial publication date was 2 March 1995.) Much has taken place between then and now, and I still have a burning desire to share what God has done when He saved me and my family from the Enemy. It has always been my prayer that God would use…

I Saw the LORD!

7 November 2022 / 13 Heshvan 5783 Today marks forty-three years since I called upon the LORD God to save me and the man I dearly love. I was definitely going in the wrong direction at that time, but God had a plan to direct my way back to Him. I was currently enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, and my duty station was in Hawaii; but while on a special mission…

The Wall Was Finished

Nehemiah 6:15-16 “So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.  And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.” Considering the “state of the Church,” (physically and spiritually speaking), it reminds me…

Walking in the True Light

“Walking in the True Light: A Testimony,” my second book, was dedicated “To all those who are walking in Darkness and knoweth not where they are going, but sincerely want to know.” I published it some two years after “Walking With the Enemy,” on 5 September 1997. And in commemoration of this important anniversary, I want to share the following excerpts from my testimony to give a little taste of what I…

From The Heart of My Husband

17 June 2023 / 28 Sivan 5783 I originally posted this last year, but I want to share it again. In light of the current controversy over the role of women in the church, I would like to clarify my views on this important topic. According to God’s Holy word, women are not to be pastors of a church, or in positions of authority over men, but the views of a Godly…
