The Sabbath is truly a delight that I look forward to each week.
On this holy day, I do pray and study the scriptures. Sometimes, I
write posts for the newsgroups on the internet --or communicate with
others on Paltalk and my local community. When the weather permits, I
also like to walk and enjoy the friend****p of my husband and dog.
Without a single word or act, everyone who obeys the seventh day
Sabbath Commandment gives this powerful testimony to the world:
"The LORD is great and is to be highly praised; ... The gods of all
other nations are only idols, but the LORD created the heavens ...
The LORD is king!" Psa 96:4-5; 10; GNB

I am not a Seventh Day Adventist (and never have been), a natural Jew,
or a Catholic. I am simply the least of Christ's brethren who love
Him and keep His Commandments.
