The GotQuestions website popped up one day when I was doing research on Israel. I was surprised and pleased at the well-written, biblically sound database of questions and answers. I couldn’t deny that serving as a volunteer writer was right up my alley. I love to write, arrange and rearrange words in a way that’s coherent and hopefully pleasing to read.

At that point in time, I had to ask myself, how much I had done for God, in view of all the grace He had poured out on me? Meh, not all that much. He had kept me alive through 8 years of grueling dialysis treatments for renal failure (onset age 42); arranged a transplant in 2005 from a fellow church member who barely knew me; then, when that kidney failed 9 years later, God found another.  Many people with renal failure die before getting one transplant, let alone two; others don’t qualify due to medical contraindications. I don’t know why the Lord made me so hard to kill, or got me through so many other serious illnesses. Romans 9:15 comes to mind.

I always wanted to know the Bible better; prophecy, end time prophecy and the book of Revelation are particular interests. We all want crowns to cast at Jesus’ feet one day, and this ministry will surely provide them for us. 

After 10 1/2 years of answering questions, I feel better equipped to “always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (1 Peter 3:15). God has blessed my efforts many-fold, and allowed me to see my daughter grow up, get married, and adopt a rescue cat for me to spoil.
