Thank you for being here. Each week, I cover hot spots and critical threats that might affect our country, as well as keep you informed about our military.

So, I hope by sharing some of these, it might encourage you to get into the Bible yourself. Because I think it’ll change your life, if you let it. * 'Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you.
