I heard my life story today on a news program called "The
O’Reilly Factor", an American (some would say) right wing "news"
program. Mr O’Reilly was defending the GOP (our American Republican Party) for
reductions in social legislation monies. He responded to his guest
"foil" with his own description of "the poor" by saying
that many began by dropping out of school, getting hooked on alcohol and/or
other mood altering substances, never becoming able to hold down a job for very
long or ever having a career, saddled with serious mental health issues, and
ending up homeless. As I saw that this described me, and I digested this bit of
truth, I realized that this could be the opening of my testimonial of the
Luni-solar Truth and how it has impacted my life. Let me first Praise our Eloah
(Lord) and Master: Yahushua! because of course this isn’t an entirely true
picture of what His Father, Yahuwa, has done for me.

I must begin at the beginning in order to give a true picture of
my present position and condition, which is that of a disabled veteran
receiving Social Security Disability for a condition termed
"Schizo-affective Disorder" and awaiting Veterans Benefits from
injury sustained while serving for six years in the US Army. In the US this
program called Social Security is funded by and awarded to US workers (and in
special cases to others, such as children of a deceased worker) either when they
reach retirement age or when they become unable to work because of a covered
disability. Thanks to Our all-powerful Father, I was able to hold significant
employment for a number of years in the US Army and then in the hotel and
casino business, and I’ve earned my coverage from both Social Security and the
Department of Defense. As I have been unwilling to request Veterans Benefits
for myself, Our Father Yahuwa has put a burden on a Veterans Administration
employee to labor on my behalf ( Praise Yahushua for intervention!); no easy
feat, as the VA is very difficult to work with, seeming to drag out deserving
cases of obvious need until the former soldier, airman, marine or other veteran
has died and can no longer lobby for benefits.

As a preschooler I was diagnosed by our Air Force doctors as an
"autistic child" and my mother was told that I would not be able to
engage in any significant formal educational program. This news came to her
shortly after divorcing my father. My father was an Air Force veteran of the
Vietnam War and was very emotionally scarred by his experience there. He became
quite violent and this led to their divorce. Shortly after I turned 7, my
mother passed away and I was brought to live with my father. This began 8 years
of abuse culminating in a life changing decision: to risk one of us killing the
other, or leaving his house and fending for myself. Reading between the lines,
I hope, dear reader, that you are able to surmise a number of miracles thus
far. Yahuwa was certainly caring for me! I was able to become an
"emancipated minor", the result of a process in which a judge
determined that I was emotionally, physically, and mentally able to care for
myself adequately enough so that I was able to receive the Social Security Survivor
Benefits awarded to my father at my mothers death. This was my first
experience, of many, with Social Security and veterans benefits. Once again
prayer to the Father in the name of the Son resulted in a berakah
(blessing), this time that of pulling me farther away from the symptoms of
autism, as He already had done to a degree that enabled me to get at least
nine years of education (the High School drop-out part of O’Rielly’s
description). Again I must Praise His Qodesh (Holy) Name: Yahuwa and that of His
Son: Yahushua!

From this point I proceeded into the Army (active duty) and then
the Army Reserve (also active duty) and after six years I was honorably
discharged and promptly entered the hospital for six months, never really
knowing what ailed me, but acquiring disability benefits, this time from my own
work and earnings payments. Once again, Yahuwa barak (blessed) me and
after a few years in college, I was able to find employment in the hotels of
Las Vegas. (There are times when I am not certain if I’ve been barak
(blessed) or cursed, but I will count it all joy as it has led me to the Light
here at WLC and deeper knowledge of Yahuwa and His Scriptures!

My spiritual journey since my mother introduced me to
"Jesus" (Yahushua) when I was five years old went from there to a
Trinity preaching "Maranatha" type Church, on to initial education in
preparation to become a Roman Catholic kohen (Priest) (not completed, but it
was at this time that many of the symptoms and serious shortfalls of Autism
were "lifted" from my life). Another good time to Praise the Father
and the Son! From there I searched concerning the Sabbath and subjected more
than one minister to my own self-styled "inquisition" in hot pursuit
of proof of Sunday Worship somewhere, anywhere, within the pages of Scripture.
Later I became sidetracked by my first marriage, which for a time became a duet
in search of truth, but this relationship and the search ended with the tragic
shooting murder of my oldest step-son in 1995. I praise Yahushua for enabling me
to share the Gospel Truth with my son before he was killed. I have hope to see
him in the resurrection of the qodeshim (saints) when Our Saviour returns.

This led to a time alone and then a second marriage. My second
wife, a Chinese immigrant (via five years in Australia) is a wonderful woman
who was led to divorce me because of a serious psychotic episode that befell me
in 2002, and scared her so deeply that she felt compelled to divorce me. I had
been drifting farther and farther from my search for Truth, and was
"rescued’ by the Hand of Yahuwa on a long visit to Hawaii. I ran there
after my marriage ended and was introduced to the Seventh day Adventist Church
there, where I was Baptized into the church, but was soon perplexed by the
Pastor’s attitude when I begged for guidance concerning my wife and marriage
(the divorce not being final, I hoped for reconciliation and repair). This
eventually led to a return to Las Vegas, returning to work in the casino where
I was employed in the past. I quickly drifted away from the Seventh Day
Adventist Church here, as I couldn’t understand the separation between what I
had learned and experienced in the congrgation in Hawaii, and the positions of
the church here ( The congregation of the Samoan-Tokelau Seventh Day Adventist
Church on Hawaii were introduced to the "Old-Time" religion of SDA
and are very Spiritually Gifted).

The Eloah (Lord) was to lead me into the wilderness of
homelessness and membership in a cult-like group called Victory Outreach
Ministries, and then homelessness again, before placing me in my own
modest home, with the desire and ability to continue searching for the Truth
about the Sabbath, the "trinity", and correcting the lies spread in
my mind by the adversary.

I am truly barak (blessed) by the Works of His Hand here
at World’s Last Chance! I have been given the proper question’s to ask about
Yahuwa (God), His Son, and His Church! What is His Name? And what is His Son’s
Name? Who is His Church? What are His Commandments? And what is the Faith of
Yahushua and how may I attain that Faith? It’s all here at World’s Last Chance!
Praise the Gift from the Vaults of Shamayim (Heaven) and Praise the Giver: El
Shaddai!!! Yahuwa’s Creation Calendar is truly an artwork worthy of Yahuwa!

As with any person’s testimony, there is always much more to say
when reporting on the Works of Yahuwa and Yahushua. I offer my Praise once
again to the Father and the Son, and I thank you, His children for being my
audience. Yahuwa Barak (bless) each of you!

Your Brother in Yahushua ha’Mashiah (Jesus the Messiah),
