I wanted to take a minute and say Thank You for visiting my website. This has been my first attempt at making a website and will most likely be my last.
I started this as a means for people in my Bible study groups to get to the studies and cut down on the paper, but as I'm finding out, the Lord is using it in a bigger way.

A Little About Myself:
First of all, I am a Christian and always will be. I was saved at the age of six at a summer camp in the mountains at Big Bear Lake in Southern California in 1958.
School:
When I was about 15 I learned a good lesson, that prayer can change things. I would need this new revelation in the years to follow. One summer we started attending a large Baptist church in Orange County, California. I started praying to attend their school, it was called Heritage High School. For me, it was nothing short of a miracle, that against all the odds ... God made away.
The Lord gave me two very special years at Heritage. They were special in many ways and for several reasons. The memories of those two years and the people that came into my life have stayed with me forever. At the end of my Sophomore year (June 1969) I was taken out of school (no I did not quit) and forced to join the Army in the midst of the Vietnam war.
Military:
One year later (June 1970) I was standing in Vietnam and to some degree, I now realized how Joseph must have felt after being sold by his brothers and taken to Egypt. Later the Lord showed me that Joseph and I were both 17 when these things happened. Through 2 tours in Vietnam, I kept my commitment to God and He did many miracles there saving my life more than once. It wouldn't be for another 35 years until I would find out how just a few very special girls back home had been praying for me, God honored their prayers ... God made a way.
A Girl Called Kathy
After I got out of the Army, the Lord took me down to San Diego where I would eventually meet my wife Kathy. For all of the things I needed at that time, the Lord gave me someone to just love me. I found everything I needed and more in this one very sweet, loving, and a kind girl named Kathy.
Sometimes there are diamonds to be found where and when you least expect them. For all that I needed and all I could ever dream of, I will only say I found it all in this special girl named Kathy, and again ... God made a way.
Kathy and I have three daughters, Leah, Kari, and Stephanie. Now they are all grown with families of their own. I'd like to introduce them to you in pictures. There are 4 grandkids, Aliyah, Aedan, Peyton, and Kaylee (all not shown yet, but as soon as they see this I'm sure they will get me their pictures).
and then a Miracle happened . . .

The Testimony of You
If you could go back into your past and tell yourself what the future held for you, you would never believe it. God has a way of making something wonderful of a life given to Him. At some point in your future, you will look back (if you haven't already) at what happened to you along the way, good and bad. You will see that the decisions you made or were made for you, and see that God has given you your own special testimony of His grace. One day I sat down and wrote down the story of the Grace I found when things seemed to be going so wrong in life.
God's blessings didn't just stop, as His promises are forever and ever. One day, through a group called The Joshua Generation, I found myself in the mountains of France in Saint-Laurent-du-Pont. There I proved how much of a preacher I was not, but also saw God Move through me to an elderly woman who was seeking forgiveness for herself and her homeland (Germany). Next, I went to Kathmandu, Nepal two separate times. My testimony of it is in my study called "The Pearl of You." On my last trip to Sofia, Bulgaria where I taught Revelation and met a lot of good people who loved the Lord with all their hearts and they blessed me very much. The local pastor gave me a wonderful opportunity to speak to a small Gypsy church on the outskirts of town. But the entire trip came down to a two-minute meeting with an ex-soldier who would later call back with the message ... "I feel free."

Praise God that He would use someone like me ... again
God Makes a way!
God gave me a dream in December of 1979 It became the blueprint of my life.

Click the Book for The Rest of the Story
I have always been drawn to the things of God and the scriptures. I have read the stories, doctrines, and teachings, and always asked "Why?" In a way, I was asking an ancient question, "Where is it written?"
​
In the last 20 years of my life, in one form or another, I believe the Lord has shown me the answers to my questions. The answers would come through Bible study seeking His face and waiting on Him. In 2002 I sat down at my desk and as I would often say, "I'm going back to school" I called it ... "Bible 101" and the Holy Spirit was the teacher because there was no one else to ask a question of.
​
As I look back on it now, at Heritage High School we had Bible class, and Bible class was the only class I got straight "A's" in. Do you think it was a sign? At the present time, I have about 25 Studies and 45 Bible charts 2 books published, and 4 more waiting. Finally, I am doing the job God showed me in a dream.
I am now ready to share what I have been doing for many years with whoever else loves the study of His word. Maybe you have a desire deep inside you, and your spirit just wants more. Well as Bob Harrington put it to me one day over the telephone, when your "want to, wants to" that's when you will begin.
​
On this site, I wanted to share with you some of the answers God gave to me. You might not agree with everything, but if you love the study of God's word, then I think you will find some nuggets of truth beyond this page. Maybe they will help you along your way also. Grace to You.
