           I am a member of Tabernacle Baptist Church in historical Manassas, Virginia, pastored by Eugene Zorbas.   I love to help out in the nursery and sing in the choir.  

           It is only because of the Grace of God that this site has been created. That is why I have chosen to dedicate it to my spiritual mother, Vicky Albert. Because of God's grace and Vicky's obedience, I am saved and I'm on my way to heaven today!

           I was saved on April 1st, 1980!  
My life was changed instantly just as the Word of God states in 2 Corinthians 5:17.  

           The wonderful person the Lord used to lead me to Him was my dear friend, Vicky.  Her story is a blessing to
read.

           I have several hobbies, but my ultimate favorite I must admit is rubber stamping.  I even hold workshops to teach others to create cards, stationery and scrapbooks.  Follow this link to learn more.  This hobby has given me an opportunity to create cards to put in our missionary closet for our missionaries to use in the field.  It also is nice to send folks in our church a hand-made card when they have been out sick.  I never dreamed the Lord would use a hobby I love so much to be a ministry.

           I hope you receive a blessing during your visit. My goal for this web site is to glorify our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Remember, Jesus Christ COULD come at any moment!   If He does, will you be embarrassed when you stand before HIM to give an account of your deeds? It's not too late! Start serving Him right NOW !!

Islam is a religion of hate, not peace!  Don't be fooled.  If the "peaceful Muslims" read the Koran, they would see this and would depart from it.  Instead, they say they are not like their radical brothers.  Don't be fooled!  If you belonged to a church where some practiced this kind of hatred, would you remain a member? 

[Editor's Note: Below are selected excerpts from Brigitte Gabriel's speech delivered at the Intelligence Summit in Washington DC, Saturday February 18, 2006].  

We gather here today to share information and knowledge. Intelligence is not merely cold hard data about numerical strength or armament or disposition of military forces The most important element of intelligence has to be understanding the mindset and intention of the enemy. The West has been wallowing in a state of ignorance and denial for thirty years as Muslim extremist perpetrated evil against innocent victims in the name of Allah.

I was ten years old when my home exploded around me, burying me under the rubble and leaving me to drink my blood to survive, as the perpetrators shouted "Allah Akbar!"?  My only crime was that I was a Christian living in a Christian town. At 10 years old, I learned the meaning of the word "infidel."

I had a crash course in survival. Not in the Girl Scouts, but in a bomb shelter where I lived for seven years in pitch darkness, freezing cold, drinking stale water and eating grass to live. At the age of 13 I dressed in my burial clothes going to bed at night, waiting to be slaughtered. By the age of 20, I had buried most of my friends--killed by Muslims. We were not Americans living in New York, or Britons in London. We were Arab Christians living in Lebanon.

As a victim of Islamic terror, I was amazed when I saw Americans waking up on September 12, 2001, and asking themselves "Why do they hate us?" The psychoanalyst experts were coming up with all sort of excuses as to what did we do to offend the Muslim World. But if America and the West were paying attention to the Middle East they would not have had to ask the question. Simply put, they hate us because we are defined in their eyes by one simple word: "infidels."

Under the banner of Islam "la, ilaha illa allah, muhammad rasoulu allah," (None is god except Allah; Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah) they murdered Jewish children in Israel, massacred Christians in Lebanon, killed Copts in Egypt, Assyrians in Syria, Hindus in India, and expelled almost 900,000 Jews from Muslim lands. We Middle Eastern infidels paid the price then. Now infidels worldwide are paying the price for indifference and shortsightedness.

Tolerating evil is a crime. Appeasing murderers doesn't buy protection. It earns one disrespect and loathing in the enemy's eyes. Yet apathy is the weapon by which the West is committing suicide. Political correctness forms the shackles around our ankles, by which Islamists are leading us to our demise.

America and the West are doomed to failure in this war unless they stand up and identify the real enemy: Islam. You hear about Wahabbi and Salafi Islam as the only extreme form of Islam. All the other Muslims, supposedly, are wonderful moderates. Closer to the truth are the pictures of the irrational eruption of violence in reaction to the cartoons of Mohammed printed by a Danish newspaper. From burning embassies, to calls to butcher those who mock Islam, to warnings that the West be prepared for another holocaust, those pictures have given us a glimpse into the real face of the enemy. News pictures and video of these events represent a canvas of hate decorated by different nationalities who share one common ideology of hate, bigotry and intolerance derived from one source: authentic Islam An Islam that is awakening from centuries of slumber to re-ignite its wrath against the infidel and dominate the world. An Islam who has declared "Intifada" on the West.

America and the West can no longer afford to lay in their lazy state of overweight ignorance. The consequences of this mental disease are starting to attack the body, and if they don't take the necessary steps now to control it, death will be knocking soon. If you want to understand the nature of the enemy we face, visualize a tapestry of snakes. They slither and they hiss, and they would eat each other alive, but they will unite in a hideous mass to achieve their common goal of imposing Islam on the world.

This is the ugly face of the enemy we are fighting. We are fighting a powerful ideology that is capable of altering basic human instincts. An ideology that can turn a mother into a launching pad of death. A perfect example is a recently elected Hamas official in the Palestinian Territories who raves in heavenly joy about sending her three sons to death and offering the ones who are still alive for the cause. It is an ideology that is capable of offering highly educated individuals such as doctors and lawyers far more joy in attaining death than any respect and stature, life in society is ever capable of giving them.

The United States has been a prime target for radical Islamic hatred and terror. Every Friday, mosques in the Middle East ring with shrill prayers and monotonous chants calling death, destruction and damnation down on America and its people The radical Islamist's  deeds have been as vile as their words. Since the Iran hostage crisis, more than three thousand Americans have died in a terror campaign almost unprecedented in its calculated cruelty along with thousands of other citizens worldwide. Even the Nazis did not turn their own children into human bombs, and then rejoice at their deaths as well the deaths of their victims. This intentional, indiscriminate and wholesale murder of innocent American citizens is justified and glorified in the name of Islam.

America cannot effectively defend itself in this war unless and until the American people understand the nature of the enemy that we face. Even after 9/11 there are those who say that we must "engage our terrorist enemies, that we must "address their grievances". Their grievance is our freedom of religion. Their grievance is our freedom of speech. Their grievance is our democratic process where the rule of law comes from the voices of many not that of just one prophet. It is the respect we instill in our children towards all religions. It is the equality we grant each other as human beings sharing a planet and striving to make the world a better place for all humanity. Their grievance is the kindness and respect a man shows a woman, the justice we practice as equals under the law, and the mercy we grant our enemy. Their grievance cannot be answered by an apology for who or what we are.

Our mediocre attitude of not confronting Islamic forces of bigotry and hatred wherever they raised their ugly head in the last 30 years, has empowered and strengthened our enemy to launch a full scale attack on the very freedoms we cherish in their effort to impose their values and way of life on our civilization.

If we don't wake up and challenge our Muslim community to take action against the terrorists within it, if we don't believe in ourselves as Americans and in the standards we should hold every patriotic American to, we are going to pay a price for our delusion. For the sake of our children and our country, we must wake up and take action. In the face of a torrent of hateful invective and terrorist murder, America's learning curve since the Iran hostage crisis is so shallow that it is almost flat. The longer we lay supine, the more difficult it will be to stand erect.

"FREEDOM IS NOT FREE"
 

          
Islam and Christianity will NEVER be able to come to a compromise!!  The two are like oil and water.  I see our country putting aside its Christian heritage and roots, the very foundation on which our country was built upon, and accepting ideals and beliefs totally contrary to what God has taught us in His Word.  I pray that those who call themselves Christians would dig their noses in the Bible and find out what God has to say about Islam.  It is not the religion of peace which the news media is trying to convince us that it is.  I pray you will take a moment and read
this article... I guarantee you that it will open your eyes.  There are many great online resources to learn about Islam and it's teachings as it relates to the Bible.  This next site gives excellent references from the Qur'an and reveals how Islam is a religion of hatred, war and tyranny.  This war began with Ishmael and Isaac and will not end until Christ returns.

Is the Muslim Religion is a Religion of Peace?

Getting saved was the most wonderful thing that ever happened in my life. The two songs below are but a glimpse into my heart and how I feel about the Lord saving my soul! I would love for you to read the words of those two songs ... I just know it will bless your heart!!

 O Glorious Love!
John W. Peterson


In my darkness Jesus found me,
Touched my eyes and made me see.
Broke sin's chains that long had bound me.
Gave me life and liberty.

O Glorious Love of Christ my Lord Divine.
That made Him stoop to save a soul like mine.
Through all my days and then in heaven above,
My song will silence never,
I'll worship Him forever,
And praise Him for His Glorious Love!

Oh amazing Truth to ponder,
He whom angel hosts attend.
Lord of Heaven, God's Son what Wonder!
He became the sinner's friend.

O Glorious Love of Christ my Lord Divine.
That made Him stoop to save a soul like mine.
Through all my days and then in heaven above,
My song will silence never,
I'll worship Him forever,
And praise Him for His Glorious Love!

Down From His Glory
William E. Booth – Clibborn

Down from His glory - Ever-living story
My God and Saviour came, and Jesus was His name.
Born in a manger - to His own a stranger.
A man of sorrows, tears and agony!

Oh how I love Him! How I adore Him!
My breath, my sunshine, my all in all!
The Great Creator became my Saviour,
And all God's fullness dwelleth in Him!

What condescension, bringing us redemption
That in the dead of night, not one faint hope in sight.
God - Gracious, Tender - laid aside His splendor,
Stooping to woo, to win, to save my soul!

Oh how I love Him! How I adore Him!
My breath, my sunshine, my all in all!
The Great Creator became my Saviour,
And all God's fullness dwelleth in Him!

Without reluctance - flesh and blood His substance.
He took the form of man, revealed the hidden plan;
Oh glorious mystery - sacrifice of Calvary!
And now I know He is the great "I AM"!

Oh how I love Him! How I adore Him!
My breath, my sunshine, my all in all!
The Great Creator became my Saviour,
And all God's fullness dwelleth in Him!
