Shalom!
The Church of Yeshua Ha Masiach is under attack. I am not sure if these attacks are worse than when He walked the Earth...but I am sure that they are fierce and unrelenting...and I am sure that it is time the Bride of Messiah stood up and said "Enough!"...we may not be able to stop the attacks as we are told by Yeshua Himself that in the "last days" things would get progressively worse until people cried out for the mountains to fall on them...today I feel as though that is the place we find ourselves...
Men and women who call themselves "Pastors or Prophets" are all the rage in today's church world...in The Book, G-d said that anyone who called himself/herself a Prophet and gave a message of prophecy that never materialized should forfeit his/her life...yet how many such people are there today who speak words they call prophetic with no accountability or consequence for their words...
The "Prosperity Gospel" is preached across the entire spectrum of today's Church World....it goes something like this: "if you give me your money for things I say are important you will reap much more money than you give to me" - or I have even heard some of today's Prosperity Gospel Pastors say "give me your money and when you get home later, you will find all the money you need in your home"....when these poor fools have given all their hard earned monies to these crooks, and return to their homes only to find no such monies waiting for them there, they are told that they must be "sinning" in some area of their lives...or that they didn't "trust" G-d enough to bless them with money...things like that...in my Grandparents Day, it was called "snake oil sales"...today these Prosperity Gospel pastors make MILLIONS of dollars off their parishioners...live lives of the rich and famous...commit adultery and destroy their homes and families...sell their books and products to those gullible Christians who actually believe these charlatan lies...it is unbelievable...and it is deadly...
One of these charlatans, Paula White and her "former" husband Randy White have made a career out of this type of multi level lying...all the while stealing their parishioners monies and running up debts of well over $40 MILLION dollars that their "Church" is supposed to somehow come up with the money to repay...I was in Tampa in 2008 when the "Paula and Randy White" scandal hit...the headlines of the Tampa Tribune on the FRONT PAGE of that paper filled the entire top half of the first page...and the story ran 4-5 FULL PAGES in addition to the front page...complete with photos of their homes and life style living...and of the church they had destroyed with their greed and lies...now, today, nearly 2 years later, Paula is all the rage again...she is asked to speak at national conventions as a "Christian Pastor and Author"...she is allowed to "pastor" a church again...as is Randy White...even though they both are divorced several times now...and engaged in "other relationships" as they say...the latest Paula rumor is that she and Benny Hinn...yes, Benny Hinn that world renowned "faith healer" whose life style and parishioner money grabbing schemes make Paula and Randy look like street beggars...THAT Benny Hinn...are rumored to be "keeping company" in some of the exotic far away places that Benny has several of his many homes...alas they were photographed in their rendezvous while "vacationing" together...but it gets even better...they BOTH went to the VATICAN to see THE POPE...now there's a real can of worms...what do you suppose went on there??? "When in Rome" was the slogan LONG before "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"...so much for the Vatican's complacency in all these matters...they have long been known to have amassed MULTIPLE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS from THEIR parishioners...
There ARE some prophetic voices today with a simple message that I PRAY FERVENTLY is REALLY from G-d...the YOUNG PEOPLE are fed up with "church as it is" and are being filled with the Ruach at a rate that is more rapid than in any time since Messiah walked the earth...the WORD is that these same young people will not put up with this CRAP any longer and WILL restore their worship to the ONE TRUE G-D and HIS WORD...sometime when you have a few minutes, google in the IHOP in Kansas...and WATCH these young people worship...HANDS RAISED...VOICES STRONG IN SONG...PRAISING the G-D of Heaven and Earth and His Son...FALLING to their KNEES in ADORATION to the King of Kings...giving their ALL to Him without reservation...
THESE young worshippers will NOT put up with the lies and stealing and adultery and filth of the "Prosperity Pastors"...their worship will cleanse and renew the Bride...and prepare Her for Her Bridegroom...that is what it is all about...being ready for His Return...I wonder what the "Prosperity Pastors" will do when they see Him? How do you suppose they will explain all the stealing and lies and adultery? Their money and houses and cars will mean nothing then! May it be soon! Even in our Day! In the meantime, watch your wallets!

Reaping what we have sown...
Shalom!
There comes a moment in time when you are faced with the full force of reality...the black and white stand in stark contrast to each other...there is absolutely no gray...I believe we are that moment...staring into the abyss of what has become of our Nation...realizing that it is impossible to restore what has been lost...
September 11 is rapidly approaching...and with it what I believe was the line in the sand that was crossed which has brought us to this precipice...and started our rapid descent into the abyss we now find ourselves free-falling into...
The dye was cast at the National Memorial Service for the victims of this terrorist attack on our Nation...President Bush uttered the lie the first time then...when I heard him say it while watching it on the live TV coverage I thought to myself 'surely I didn't just hear him say that'...then he repeated it several more times in his remarks...obliterating any doubt that my hearing was failing me...
Hitler rose to power based on this same principle: tell a lie often enough and people will believe it...that vile and despicable adage has been replayed many times since this demon from hell spoke it...it has been used for many of the lies governments...corporations...academia...even religionists have indoctrinated their peers with...it always seems to bring about the end results of those initiating it...tell a lie often enough and people will believe it...
The stark truth of this has been laid bare for me this week...the first time when I forced myself to watch 65 photos showing the horrific treatment of women in Afghanistan by the Taliban our US Soldiers are fighting...the second time when the NYC Landmark Commission ruled that a mosque could be built at Ground Zero - and a Jewish Billionaire Mayor not only applauded this decision, but actually lobbied for the decision - ...the third time tonight as I again forced myself to watch a one hour special on the 'honor killing' murder of two sisters by their father in Texas...the common denominator in each of these: Islam...
President Bush was the first President to continually repeat the lie that one of his speechwriters penned for this inauspicious occasion...he is responsible for injecting it into the every day mainstream media...a media who gladly picked up this mantra and has repeated it over and over and over for the last 10 years...until they are so adept at the lie that they can look you straight in the camera eye and repeat it without even a wince...
Today's occupant of the highest office of our Nation never misses a beat when he repeats it...he is the epitome and fulfillment of the lie...and thousands of our fellow citizens here - and peoples of other Nations and Governments around the world - fight to see who can repeat it more often...all of them so glib in their delivery of the lie that it sucks the breath out of your body...
The lie that has been told over and over again until people believe it? That Islam is a religion of peace...
Tell that to the women of Afghanistan and other muslim nations who are forced into 'marriage' at the tender age of 6-9 years of age...who undergo female circumcision...whose 'husbands'...fathers...male family members have the right to physically beat and sexually abuse them...who are forced to wear full body coverings with little or no part of their faces shown...who have no freedoms or rights in any aspect of their lives...and who are stoned to death at the whim of those 'male family members' who no longer find them 'useful' for their 'needs'...
Tell that to the family members of the 3000+ men/women/children murdered by the 9/11 terrorists...who are now faced with the physical, gut-wrenching repulsion of having their murderers attest to their dominance over their victims by building a mosque on the very parcels of land their religious indoctrination destroyed...
Tell that to the American Mother of two teenage daughters whose Egyptian muslim husband abused her physically and sexually for over 20 years...who also sexually abused these two daughters...and then who took them in his cab on New Years Day 2008 and shot them repeatedly for 'dishonoring his family name' because they became 'too Americanized' and were dating non-muslim men...
That is why I said we are on the precipice...free falling into the abyss...America is becoming inundated with muslim terrorists...day after day we hear of a new arrest...new suspect...new 'person of interest'....new cash pipeline to one of the terror groups around the world...many TRY to warn us...many TRY to showcase the truth about this 'peaceful religion'...many TRY to fight the 'political correctness' that has destroyed our once moral fabric...yet the battle is still being lost...inch by inch...day by day....
Can this be true you wonder...so have I questioned if this could really be true...yet tonight I SAW and HEARD for myself what the SHERIFF of the Texas town where this 'man' brutally murdered these two daughters said...when questioned by the investigative journalist who has covered this story this 'law enforcement officer' had this to say: "who is to say this is an honor killing? what really is an honor killing? if the girls were disobeying their father's rules there are consequences...we only have the word of the Mother that this was an honor killing...how do we know he really killed these girls?"...
Strike one...two to go...
The FBI initially labeled this an "honor killing" and put the father on the Most Wanted List...two days after identifying this as an 'honor killing' those very words were REMOVED from the Most Wanted Poster...the investigative journalist was told that they did not want to 'offend the greater muslim community'...the FBI REFUSED to comment on this case for the one hour special that aired tonight on FOX...
Strike two...one to go...
There was a 911 call made by one of the daughters as their father was shooting them...he shot them each over 11 times at point blank range in his cab...you can hear the girl crying...begging her 'father' to stop shooting them...she tells the 911 dispatcher that her 'father' is killing them...as the 911 dispatcher asks her for clarification the only sound you hear is this young woman saying "I am dying'' and the other sister still begging her 'father' to stop...then the line goes dead...
Bear these stories in mind when you consider WHO to vote for in November...when you get emails from me that are painfully hard for me to write and you to read...when you hear about Rifqa Barry being TERRIFIED to go back to her 'parents' as she KNOWS she will be killed EXACTLY as these young women were...when you see or hear this administration speaking about ANYTHING...
The lie has been told over and over...people all around us only want to play with their various toys...fun and games...no one wants to be bothered with this type of news...they are not concerned about this...they don't think it can 'happen in America'...which is the reaction the great lie always produces...while the cesspool gets bigger and bigger...political correctness shuts peoples' mouths...lets them avert their eyes...Truth is lost...Evil wins out...
Strike three...we, as a Nation are out.

A Nation Mourns
Shalom,
Six lives were lost today...six families are missing a husband...a father...a son...a grandson...an uncle...a brother...a son-in-law...a brother-in-law...six homes are now forever void of the presence of one who lived there...who will never enter that doorway again...
An entire Military and Nation mourn the death of these Six Sons...
In Israel, when a member of the Military Family that is so deeply embedded in the fabric of every part of the Society is killed, the entire Nation sits Shiva...this Shiva is no respecter of persons...none is immune...none is exempt...none is excused...Israel is "One Family" when it comes to Her Military...each Branch of the Military is intertwined and makes up the whole that is today's Army of G-d...
There has always something "special" about the Military here in our American Nation...the vast majority of us rise to show them respect for the service they perform to protect and defend us...and countless hundreds of other Nations and Peoples around the World...those who treat what these men and women have done and do with disrespect are viewed by the rest of us with contempt...let your mind wander back to the Vietnam War...recall the violent protests on college campuses by leftist love children who even then cared nothing for the heritage that made our Nation great and kept us free...think how we felt seeing these pathetic punks burn our flag...trample our flag...refuse to defend the way of life they were born into...it was simply horrible to see...and it cost us a President who was forced to resign due to over vigilant surveillance...and another President who wore out trying to contain the morass that this War became...
Today, here in America, those same leftist love children who grew up to believe treason of their Nation is their duty, continue to violate our Nation's heritage...now they do it through Academic channels as they teach hatred of America...and they do it through elected offices they have used and are using to destroy our freedoms...no pride...no honor...no patriotism...traitors then...traitors now...even our highest office is occupied by one of their protegees...
In Israel, every family of every generation since She was Re-Born in 1948 lives and breathes the daily life of the Army of G-d...no matter where you go in His Land, you see them...dressed in their uniforms...the insignia of their unit/branch clearly visible on their shoulders...on their berets...and always the machine gun slung over their shoulders...casually...like we American women carry our shoulder bags...
Israelis show the utmost respect for these young men and women who are their Brothers and Sisters...they either have or will serve alongside them...there are no exceptions...even today the Religious Jews have formed their own Military Units...standing alongside their kin...fighting to defend their Land...they all understand the same undeniable truth: as a Nation, they stand alone...abandoned by nearly every other member of the United Nations...that cesspool of evil that has the gall to call itself "The Family of Nations"...all the while ignoring Israel...the VERY Nation that the CREATOR HIMSELF FORMED and CALLS THE APPLE OF HIS EYE...
G-d sees all this...He who watches Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps...there are records kept...tears are stored up in bottles He labels...one day soon the scales of justice will be brought out...the Prophet Daniel tells us that Belshazzar thought G-d's Children and Land meant nothing...and even committed the sacrilege of drinking wine from the Vessels of the Mishkan...the Temple of YHVW...even typing this gives me chills...suddenly a man's hand was seen writing on the wall of Belshazzar's palace these words: "Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin" - which interpreted mean: "G-d has numbered the kingdom of Belzhazzar and brought it to an end" - this man had been found "wanting" and was to be no more...
There will be an inquiry into this tragic helicopter crash which claimed six of the best and brightest the Nation of G-d produced...if there was any foul play involved...tampering that could have caused this loss...anything amis in any way...if something like that turns out to be what happened, look for the Hand of G-d to once again write on the wall of those who perpetuated this: Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin - your kingdom has been numbered by the Creator of the Universe and it is brought to an end...
In the meantime, a Military and Nation mourns their Sons...and we light the Shiva Candle and mourn with them.
"Master of Mercy, the One Who Heals broken hearts, we cry out to You...our Hearts ache with the pain of our loss...watch over and shelter the families and loved ones of those who were killed in this tragic crash...Oh Compassionate One, bless them and inspire us with Your Goodness and Righteousness in the days to come...shatter not our faith in You and never allow us to forget the memories of these lives."

Promoting Evil
Shalom!
Once again the enemy of Israel and Her Children has struck...this time on American Soil...this vile and despicable administration has ordered that the PLO flag be flown in the USA...at the entrance to "their mission building" in Washington, DC...
The horror and outrage that I feel at this announcement is so deep that it took my breath away to read the article...day by day we see our once great Nation - founded on Judeo-Christian Values - being systematically destroyed by the filth that occupies elected offices here...this administration has brought more harm upon us in less than 2 years than any War fought on our soil or around the world...the depths to which they have sunk surely has opened the lid of Hell...
The elections this November are so critical...I believe they represent the last chance we have to try to restore our Nation...if we do not stop them at the ballot box, I fear the battle will have been lost...
Chuck Colson has founded "The Manhattan Declaration" project...his latest article states that we may have reached the "Tipping Point"...and that Civil Disobedience is in the wings...something we have not seen since the Boston Tea Party that led to the Revolutionary War...the Patriots of Old knew when "enough was enough"...will we have the intestinal fortitude to do likewise?
Will you join me in mobilizing everyone you know to VOTE for men and women whose lives evidence the Judeo-Christian values we espouse? Your VOTE DOES MATTER! Let's pray fervently for G-d's Divine Protection and Guidance as we WORK while there is STILL DAY!
STAND UP AND BE COUNTED! Your LIVES and the LIVES of your loved ones DO hang in the balance!

Tisha B'Av
Shalom!
Today is Tisha B'Av, the 9th of Av, 5770.
This is a day of great solemnity and intense prayer and reflection. It is the date of the destruction of both the First and Second Temples of G-d in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount.
It is hard to fathom what took place on this date - the abject horror and suffering of the Jews - the sacrilege of the Romans as they violated the Temple Mount and destroyed His Temple... having seen and walked in this Holiest of Holy areas in Jerusalem, I can tell you that the realization of what happened there cuts to the very marrow of the bone - and inflicts emotions on the heart and mind that are incapable of being described...
The entire time I was in Israel it seemed to me that I was incapable of shedding tears...our schedule was so tight...our visits with Her Leaders and the locations they shared with us so intense...I wanted to shed tears many times during those 10 days...even tried to...but could not...something so deep inside of me was affected that I felt as though it was not really "me" that was there seeing all that I saw...
When we finally boarded the plane late that night for the flight home, I settled into my seat and THEN allowed my mind to begin to replay every day that we had been there...and then the tears came...it seemed to me that I cried most of the flight home...I was so affected by my memories that I could not even look at the photos that I had taken without breaking down...nor could I share them with even my husband...as soon as I would start to look at them and try to tell about them, the tears flowed and I "shut down" verbally...
Israel is alive and vibrant today...all that the Roman legions threw at her in AD70 has been negated...her Diaspora is really over...all the Jews of the world CAN "go home" when THEY choose to...G-d has restored His Land for Her...the Six Million who were slaughtered by the Horrors of Hell that were Hitler's Germany have been replanted in the lives of those born from those crematoriums...her Temple Mount is in sight of Her Eyes again...
I cry today also...for my dear loved ones THERE...in The Land that we so mutually love...they have suffered so much...seen so many friends and loved ones they knew murdered by the enemies of G-d who have butchered them in these past 63 years since Ben Gurion "birthed the modern Nation of Israel"...loved ones there who suffer the physical and emotional pain of terror attacks...of empty seats at family tables...beautiful names and faces that haunt my mind and heart in ways that are magnified one thousand times in the hearts and minds of those who saw them destroyed...it is heartbreaking to see the destruction of the once solid bond of support and friendship between our two Nations...nothing Israel has done deserves this...the blood is on our hands...and we sit in judgment for harming His Land and Children...He will not tarry much longer as He repays those who have done this..brought this harm to His Loved Ones...
It will not be long until Messiah comes...as an Evangelical Christian Zionist I am profoundly aware of His "Birth Pains"...and I am watching for Him in the Clouds that appear every day...He will come on those Clouds...both the Old and New Covenants teach this...Israel will sit Shiva for Him as they mourn their "First Born Son" and look on Him who was pierced for them...and for me...and for every soul that ever was created...all the aborted babies...all the maimed...all the persecuted...all the weak...all the old...all the infirm...all the shunned and despised...all who have longed to see Him and look on that Face that so loved them that He laid down His Life for their Eternal Salvation as the Lamb Slain From the Foundation of the World...
When He does come, there will be no more time for repentance...time as we have known it will have run out...all that will be left is the sorrow of those not caught up with Him in the Air...
I want to walk on those Streets of Gold in the New Jerusalem...I want to worship Him on His Holy Hill in His Temple...I want to to sing the songs of Zion that are so dear to my heart with all the loved ones who have gone before...I want to bow my knees and cry HOLY, HOLY, HOLY - L-rd, G-d Almighty! Who WAS and IS and IS to come! King of Kings and L-rd of L-rds!
On THAT day, Tisha B'Av will become what it was INTENDED to be when G-d commanded the 12 Spies to Cross the Jordan and bring back the report so that His Nation wandering in the Wilderness could CROSS OVER and inhabit the Land HE has prepared for them! And then the Redeemed of the L-rd will rejoice with Israel and Her Children as She becomes the "Or La Goyim" She was birthed to be!
Pray in agreement with me for that Day!
Baruch Ha Ba! Baruch Ha Ba B'Shem Adonai! B'Shem Yeshua!
Today is Tisha B'Av, the 9th of Av, 5770.
This is a day of great solemnity and intense prayer and reflection. It is the date of the destruction of both the First and Second Temples of G-d in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount.
It is hard to fathom what took place on this date - the abject horror and suffering of the Jews - the sacrilege of the Romans as they violated the Temple Mount and destroyed His Temple... having seen and walked in this Holiest of Holy areas in Jerusalem, I can tell you that the realization of what happened there cuts to the very marrow of the bone - and inflicts emotions on the heart and mind that are incapable of being described...
The entire time I was in Israel it seemed to me that I was incapable of shedding tears...our schedule was so tight...our visits with Her Leaders and the locations they shared with us so intense...I wanted to shed tears many times during those 10 days...even tried to...but could not...something so deep inside of me was affected that I felt as though it was not really "me" that was there seeing all that I saw...
When we finally boarded the plane late that night for the flight home, I settled into my seat and THEN allowed my mind to begin to replay every day that we had been there...and then the tears came...it seemed to me that I cried most of the flight home...I was so affected by my memories that I could not even look at the photos that I had taken without breaking down...nor could I share them with even my husband...as soon as I would start to look at them and try to tell about them, the tears flowed and I "shut down" verbally...
Israel is alive and vibrant today...all that the Roman legions threw at her in AD70 has been negated...her Diaspora is really over...all the Jews of the world CAN "go home" when THEY choose to...G-d has restored His Land for Her...the Six Million who were slaughtered by the Horrors of Hell that were Hitler's Germany have been replanted in the lives of those born from those crematoriums...her Temple Mount is in sight of Her Eyes again...
I cry today also...for my dear loved ones THERE...in The Land that we so mutually love...they have suffered so much...seen so many friends and loved ones they knew murdered by the enemies of G-d who have butchered them in these past 63 years since Ben Gurion "birthed the modern Nation of Israel"...loved ones there who suffer the physical and emotional pain of terror attacks...of empty seats at family tables...beautiful names and faces that haunt my mind and heart in ways that are magnified one thousand times in the hearts and minds of those who saw them destroyed...it is heartbreaking to see the destruction of the once solid bond of support and friendship between our two Nations...nothing Israel has done deserves this...the blood is on our hands...and we sit in judgment for harming His Land and Children...He will not tarry much longer as He repays those who have done this..brought this harm to His Loved Ones...
It will not be long until Messiah comes...as an Evangelical Christian Zionist I am profoundly aware of His "Birth Pains"...and I am watching for Him in the Clouds that appear every day...He will come on those Clouds...both the Old and New Covenants teach this...Israel will sit Shiva for Him as they mourn their "First Born Son" and look on Him who was pierced for them...and for me...and for every soul that ever was created...all the aborted babies...all the maimed...all the persecuted...all the weak...all the old...all the infirm...all the shunned and despised...all who have longed to see Him and look on that Face that so loved them that He laid down His Life for their Eternal Salvation as the Lamb Slain From the Foundation of the World...

Responsibility
Shalom!
Internal character development is key to becoming a leader...when you "give your word" to someone, it should be mean something...that person should be able to depend on you to follow through with what you said you would do...
Today, it seems as though people "give their word" without any firm commitment to backing it up...to fulfilling the promise they made by saying they would do thus and so...it is all too expedient to get what you want without any repercussions...there is no honesty behind the spoken words...it gets tiring...
In my work and world, promises made mean they must be fulfilled...people depend on me doing what I have said I would do...even if I am tired...or not feeling well...or have other situations that arise, I must do what I said I would do...the work we do with Israel and Her Children is far too important to "play" with promises...or worse yet, to not meet deadlines that are critical...
Something has happened to our society...pledges mean little...playing trumps working...the quick trumps the slow...and I find myself usually left holding the bag because those who said they would do what was agreed upon fail to meet deadlines...or worry about honoring verbal commitments made...
Lesson learned: when I get burned by those who fail to do what they have said they would do, rather than trusting again so quickly, I need to add a layer of insulation to ward off the instant trust that I mistakenly give so quickly...the broken promises have nearly obliterated the windshield.
I resolve to vet people and situations far more thoroughly...it is always me that gets burned.

The Measure of A Man
Shalom!
How do you measure the impact of a life?
A man died on this date in 1971. He was a good man...he loved his wife...he loved his children...he loved his parents...above all else, he loved his G-d. He was my father. His name was Claude B."Bud" Board, Jr. He was 51 years old.
He was part of "The Greatest Generation"...he fought in the South Pacific on a Naval Destroyer Tender in the Second World War. He loved his ship so much that he named his dog "Denny" after the USS Denebola that he served on.
I was 8 months old before he even got home from "The Big War"...I have no memories of those days...what I know of them I learned from my Mother who waited for his return at her parents home in West Newton, Pennsylvania with me, her first born child.
When one thinks of the "measurement" of a man's life, to understand how to measure that life you need only look at his family. My Mother has been a widow for 39 years today...she never dated, not because she couldn't...she had no desire for anyone else in her life...always telling my brother and sister and I that "when one has had the love of a lifetime, there is no room for anyone else"... I like that...it always gave me a feeling of "completeness"...
You look at his children also...what their lives have amounted to...how they have reacted to the influence of this man...my brother and sister and I all married Christian Spouses...we worship with that same spouse each L-rds' Day...we tithe our incomes to His Kingdom Work...we are actively engaged in our respective Church Families...each of us graduated either college or business college...we each have worked every day of our adult lives...we have each served our Country and Our G-d in every way we could...my life today consists of full time work for and with The Land of G-d and Her Eternal Covenant Children...my brother and sister AND Mother all "get it" about Israel and do all they can to support Her as well. My sister and brother's children and their grandchildren married Christian Spouses...and worship together on His Day...in His House...and they are training yet another generation of "Board's" to know and love the Messiah who gave His Life for them so that they might have the forgiveness of sins and the promise of Eternal Life with Him in His Heaven.
Maybe the world measures the worth of a man by the dollars he earns...the title he achieves in his business or professional world...how many cars he owns...things like that...it seems to me that the way G-d would have us measure the worth of life...even one that is cut short in its very prime...is the legacy of his family.
Well done, Dad! Your wife...your children...your sons and daughter-in-law...your grandchildren...and your great-grandchildren...all bow their knees to the G-d you taught us to love and serve...we have carried on these many years without your physical presence in our daily lives...the one who has suffered most is your wife...but the loneliness has been borne gracefully and with dignity and honor by her...you would be proud of how what you planted has grown and matured! Thank you for all the life lessons you taught...the example you set...the discipline you administered...it was not in vain!
On this day, I asked Yeshua to "call you up" to His Side and let you know that your family on this side paused to remember your life and passing...tears were shed...memories were recalled...hearts were broken once again as we counted down the hours of this date you left us for Home. We are running our races as best we can...the finish line is becoming clearer each day...your bride has been well cared for by your children...she is anxious to see you again, and so are we!
The audit of your life is complete...you stayed the course and finished well! We now will continue to try to do the same! We will see you There...reunited with the L-rd we all so dearly love...never to be parted again!
Until then!
