This site is dedicated to bringing glory and honor to our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ and to His Father through the power of the Holy Spirit. It is the deepest desire of my heart to create and facilitate the meeting place where the Holy Spirit is welcome to reveal to you and all of our visitors how wide, how deep, how broad, how complete and how very personal is the love of God. In this "tent of meeting" I will share my own truth and the truths about God's nature and character, as they have been revealed to me personally, in a straight forward and non-religious manner, as the Holy Spirit leads.   My prayer is that you will receive some new insights each time you visit regarding the extremely relational nature of this amazingly approachable God and that you will also realize how very valuable you are to Him just as you are today. This is the truth that transforms our lives and often becomes the healing waters where our souls can find refreshing. Hopefully, you will find this site to be a place of reflection, encouragement and refreshment each time you return. Perhaps you might even send a friend to visit. You are encouraged to weigh everything you find here with the Holy Scriptures. The role I have agreed to in this partnership with the Holy Spirit is that of the encourager to the Body of Christ. His role has always and will always be the Teacher. May His truth prevail in your spirit at all times!

My Testimony   Having been raised in a family who believed in God albeit a distant, aloof and stern disciplinarian God, I grew up in a continual state of condemnation and toxic shame. The indoctrination of this image of an always angry, eager to punish, God was reinforced by having spent the first 10 years of my education in private faith based schools. I had grown to believe that God was omnipresent and just waiting for me to mess up and that I must do penance to have my sins absolved in order not to incur His ever-present wrath. It was quite frightening. Fear was my constant companion and dictator.   Surviving my childhood as a child of alcoholic and rage-a-holic parents, I entered into adulthood with a slew of my own addictions and was nearly paralyzed with shame. Jesus introduced Himself to me in the early '70s and I traded in my religion for a personal relationship with Him.Shortly after that I was introduced to the Holy Spirit and He has become my best friend. Together we embarked on a healing journey. It's been a 30 year process of learning, healing, being delivered from addictions and compulsive behaviors, and being freed to live life abundantly. It is through the unfolding revelation of His love, for me personally, by the work of the Holy Spirit, that this incredible relationship has been established in my life. It gets sweeter by the day!   I have had the privilege of serving the Body of Christ in pastoral care, counseling, inner healing, and teaching ministries for the last 20 years. Leading recovery groups and home groups has also been my privilege. Currently I am actively involved in leading two  home groups and prophetic ministry with my church family, Vineyard Community Church in Laguna Niguel, CA.
