ABOUT ME
Love Never Fails began one day in February 1997 from a blank page & my quest to learn HTML & the rest is history. Thanks to my late husband Issie for getting me into computers back in 1997 or this page would not exist at all.
Welcome to my home on the web. I am a child of God, & a follower of Jesus Christ, and that's an understatement. Jesus & I have the most wonderful relationship & the longer we're together, the more I love HIM. There is a song by the Gaither's which I love called THE LONGER I SERVE HIM. That song describes my heart toward God in profound simplicity! And it's truer EVERY day I live.
God is my 'life'! I love HIM more than my next breath and I cannot imagine, well let's put it this way, there would be NO life without HIM. He has done so many wonderful things for me, and He's brought me through so many hardships, trials, and sufferings, and he died on the cross, for me. How can I ever live to give Him any less of myself.
There is, to put it plainly 'nothing' I would deny the Lord. Not for all He's given for me. I owe Him my life over and again. I love HIM, I love His word, & I love sharing both of them with anyone who cares to listen. So if you spend much time around me, be prepared to hear about the LOVE of my LIFE, the King of Glory, also the King of my heart, His name is Jesus! :o)
Okay, although I am a trekkie, ( total TNG fan) that isn't the top of the line for me. Not since Captain Jack Sparrow sailed onto the silver screen. I am a diehard Pirates Of The Caribbean fan. I have all 3 movies on DVD and watch them occasionally. I am waiting eagerly for number 4. THAT will be totally awesome!! Upon meeting Captain Jack I also became a Johnny Depp fan although some of his movies do not interest me, several of them are very well done though!
One of the other big loves I have is music. I love listening to music most all the time. More than anything I listen to the JOY FM in Sarasota, Florida which is the bomb Christian music station! If you'd like to tune in go to
The JOY FM @ www.thejoyfm.com
My ultimate favorite Christian artist is the late, great, Rich Mullins. His song Creed is my ALL time favorite song among others he's done. I also love music from the 70's, 80's, Eiffel 65, Tree 63, Boney M, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Newsong, Jon 'Jazzman' Gibson, Margaret Becker(had my pic taken with her) , The Newsboys, Bryan Duncan, Michael W. Smith, CARMAN, Casting Crowns, The Newboys, Jars Of Clay, MercyMe, Steven Curtis Chapman, Third Day, and I love Michael Flatley's Lord Of The Dance.
Michael Flatley, if you have never heard of him, is the famous dancer of Irish dancing. Ever heard of Riverdance?? I absolutely love the Celtic music he has in his video Lord of the Dance & had the awesome privilege of seeing him during his Feet Of Flames tour when they came to Florida once. If you are a Michael Flatley fan, please write, I'd love to hear from you!!
I love listening to music almost anytime and the more bass, treble, and quality, the uttermost better! There is nothing that makes music more enjoyable than TRUE quality sound! I love to feel the room shake! Know whut I mean? (smile)
One of the newest things I am into is Shoutlife. Shoutlife is a lot like Myspace, only Shoutlife is all Christian based and without all the junky ads. So if you'd like to meet other Christians, Shoutlife is the place to go. Also there is Indie Heaven which helps get new Christian artists discovered. If you'd like to visit my page you'll find it at

The first and foremost thing in my life is watching for & aniticipating the return of our Lord Jesus Christ! With all the prophecy being fulfilled, it can't be much longer. I eagerly await that day with much excited anticipation. I can hardly wait to spend even 1/4 of eternity bowed on my face before Him in humble gratitude for saving my miserably LOST life from the grip of sin & what could have been eternal separation from the LORD that I love so much! I pray that God let's me live out the rest of this life with a heart of compassion to lead others to Him.
"I Finally Graduated"!
One of the most exciting moments of my life happened in May of 1998. I went to South Florida Community College and studied for my GED. I graduated cap and gown, May 5, 1998, "Thank You Lord"! I continue to educate myself as the Lord wills, & resources are available.
One of the few hobbies I have is also my favorite one. I love photography. I am ammateur of course but I have had 4 photos published @ picture.com I find taking a unique or perfect picture quite the interesting challenge and with digital cameras it's all the more fun. .
My other hobbies & interests include designing web pages, ROLLER skating, roller coasters, nature,( I absolutely love when the weather is comfortable & I can be outdoors. I would rather be in nature than any other place! (I love to go camping and bowling!!!). I also LOVE a detailed & challenging bible study & love reading & writing.
Going to Disney World is always of interest to me. My sons and I went December 1st, 2007. The Pirates Of The Caribbean ride is better now that it's been upgraded AND they have the coolest Captain Jack impersonator there. He was SO like the real McCoy it was almost like seeing Johnny Depp in person.
Another thing I like to do is work on my health. I like to exercise regularly, and do so often with Gilad's Bodies in Motion on TV, I love going to Hawaii, even if it is only on TV, **smile**. I also dance for exercise, along with walking, swimming, and biking. Often I work on being not just a vegetarian but what I like to call a livarian. It comes from an awesome book I bought called God's Way To Ultimate Health by Dr. George Malkmus & Michael Dye. Although the term livarian probably hasn't been thought of yet, I decided to invent it LOL.
Here's the meaning. It means you eat mostly, only raw unprocessed foods. No meats, and no processed foods. You would eat pretty much everything raw and living just like it comes out of the garden. Like in the Garden of Eden. So your diet consists of uncooked, living fruits and vegetables and nuts. It's a REALLY good book & I highly reccommend getting yourself a copy.
I can tell you, having all the energy you get eating this way and feeling like a million bucks and losing weight doesn't suck at all! The energy is worth giving up dead foods like meats and processed stuff that has been cooked. It's an 85% raw diet with only a small amount of cooked veggies and it will make you feel younger than when you were 20. It did me!!!
Dr. George Malkmus also has a book called Why Christians Get Sick if you're interested in reading that too. I found mine at Books-A-Million bookstores but you can find them easily enough online as well. Dr Malkmus was diagnosed with colon cancer which is why he started eating this way. He never had surgery and he didn't die and he never had chemo. His cancer is gone! Give the book a read, what have you got to lose but BAD health? .
Well, that's a bit about me. There is more, and I'll update in time.
