Welcome!
I am a wife to an incredible man, mother of 6 wonderful children and author of a Pirate Romance Trilogy. But more important that all that, I am a daughter of the King of Kings!
I grew up on the beaches of South Florida and fell in love with the ocean and the tropics. It was there that I dreamt of pirates and adventures on the high seas, but it wasn't until I gave my entire life over to Jesus, that He led me to write those stories down. Hence, "The Legacy of the King's Pirates" was born.
My passion is to wake up Christians to their full potential in Christ, to encourage them to go out into the world and use their God-given talents to further His kingdom. We are all involved in a battle, a battle for the souls of the lost. And what could be more important than that?
To the Glory of God!

What if life is merely an act in a play? Behind the curtain to the right, your birth pushes you out onto the stage, and to the left, you exit in death. Beyond the curtain exists an eternal world that is beyond your comprehension. Because all you ca...

MY GOD IS A GOD OF MIRACLES
I have sung songs of all kind ever since I learned to talk.
Never have I been very confident in speaking.
I have to admit that the Lords Holy Spirit has spoke to many through me while ministering in song, and I am thankful.
My love is all for Jesus, and I am thankful that everyday I am learning and falling deeper in love with Him every day.
It still takes my breath away to think back at all the times God intervened in my life, even before I gave myself to Him. He saw me as what I could be and saved my life many times.
I have had several people tell me that God does not perform miracles anymore {including my pastor}. I always thought with out speaking out loud,"You must not know the Jesus I know". I was always afraid to speak up.
1Co 12:28 In the church God has appointed first apostles, next prophets, third teachers, then those who perform miracles, then those who have the gift of healing, then those who help others, those who are managers, and those who can speak in a number of languages.
My first memory of my own experience of the love and precious mercy of Jesus was when I was five years old. "I won't get into details here - I'll write it in my blog because it is so important for ALL PEOPLE to know NOW what Jesus has done in my life and the lives of others around me.
So please take a moment to read my blog today.
I pray that you will receive a blessing just from knowing that Jesus IS REAL and YES! PRAISE HIM! HE DOES STILL DO MIRACLES TODAY!

Because you have made the Lord your refuge, The Most High your dwelling place, the demonic attacks that satan attempts against you, to destroy you, will not succeed. A thousand, of those who have not made God their dwelling place may fall at your side. Even ten thousand at your right hand but it will not come near you to destroy you, because our Father has given His angels especial charge over you. They have orders to give you exceptional attention and aid. They will lift you up in their powerful hands so that you do not stumble and fall into the trap of your enemy. They will accompany you and defend you in all of your obedient ways. You will tread upon the one who roars like a lion seeking to devour you. You will trample by faith upon demons and all that is evil keeping them subdued and bound by the will of God. Because, He has set His love upon you He will deliver you. Only with your eyes, as a spectator safe under the shadow of the Almighty will you see the reward of the wicked.
Hello Marylu,
Thank you for accepting our new friendship. It is an extremly warm day here in Wasilla, Alaska the home of our much beloved Alaskan Governor, Gov. Sarah Palin. I am doing well and excited about what God is doing though today is rather slow and mundane. But, I get a lot done being single and all. Finished two books I had been reading, did some household chores I had been meaning to get to and now come in here and get totally blessed. Some folks wonder why I am still single but all I tell them is hey, check with God because that is HIS department as I willingly submit that portion of my life over to His Lordship and leave the decision up to Him. When He stops me dead in my tracks and points her out to me HIMSELF, then and ONLY then will I know! Anyway, we do things here like River rafting, hiking 7,000 feet up a mountain, Ocean fishing for Halibut, fishing the Russian river for saman, I got a friend who owns an Ultralight, Yesterday I was out on a lake sailing on a sailboat just soaking in God's wonderous beauty, "No I don't mean the female kind." Hehehe I mean a lake nestled sweetly smack in the middle of mountain ranges. It was so awesome, bald eagles everyplace. I mean, you get off the plane in certain spots and it just takes your breath away. As our Governor Sarah Palin told me when I thanked her for dedicating this state to God, She said "well sir, Alaska belongs to the LORD!" Amen.
May the Son shine brightly in your life today driving away all those things that cause your heart to ache and your life to be less than abundant in Him.
I the Lord have cleansed you with the blood of the Lamb. Revelation 7:14 And empowered you with my Spirit. Luke 24:49. I have made you ready to overcome evil. Revelation 12:11. To do the works of Jesus throughout the world. John 14:12, John 6:29. To rejoice in my presence and spread my love and the message of my kingdom to the ends of the earth. Mark 16:15-20. Nothing is to hard for you. Because nothing is to hard for me and you are in me. Genesis 18:14. You are my Bride. Revelation 21:9; 22:17. And it is I who have won the victory over all of your troubles and opened before you the door to the abundant life of my salvation. John10:10. It is I who fight your battles. 1 Samuel 17:47. Behold, all those who were incensed against you shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing. And those who strive with you shall perish. You shall seek them and not find them. Those who contend with you, those who war against you shall be as nothing. As a nonexistent thing. For I, the Lord Your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you; Fear not, I will help you.
Isaiah 41:11-13. Do not look about you and be anxious. Rejoice in me and I will deliver you. Isaiah 41:10.
In the service of the Master
Love, blessings and prayers.
Hi! I'm glad you got to see Indy. I figure I will go tomorrow or Wednesday since I don't have a job to go to on weekdays. I don't expect it to be as great as the firt three, but that doesn't even matter! It's just having one last Indy movie that I think we are all looking forward to. I expect to enjoy it in any case. Last Monday I went to see Prince Caspian, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I don't get to the movies bery often, but these two are the kind that must be seen on a big screen to really get the whole ambience.
