I was born to Robert and June Riley on July 31, 1966. The place of birth was San Francisco, California.
After I became a toddler, my parents relocated to Antioch, California (60 miles east of San Francisco).
When my parents first met, my mother lived with her family in Atwater, California. My father was in the Air Force and stationed in the nearby town of Merced, California.
My parents met at the Assemblies of God church there in town. They dated for several months and then got married on February 22, 1964.
Two years later I was born. I am the first born child. Then a year later my brother Gary was born. We were living in Antioch at that time.
I grew up in the Assemblies of God churches. We attended AOG churches in Antioch, Pittsburg and Concord, California (depending on the year).
I got saved and born again at the young age of 6 six years old. It was a glorious experience!
When I asked Jesus to come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior, immediately I felt His Presence come into my heart and I was filled with the Holy Spirit.
My father often had to work overtime on his job. He worked as an office clerk as a dispatcher for the Southern Pacific Railroad.
One Sunday morning, he had to work overtime and was gone all day. It was that exact Sunday that I got born again.
My mother and my brother and I were watching Rex Humbard preach on television. The message so gripped my heart that I told my mom I wanted to ask Jesus to come into my heart.
My mom knelt with me at the sofa and led me in a sinner's prayer. I was gloriously saved.
My brother got saved a little later on, about a year later.
Ever since that time I have served the Lord and love God.
My grandma Minnie Ford used to live with us until her death when I was 9 years old. She went of a major heart attack.
My grandpa Lovic Ford had passed away about a month or so after I was born, after having suffered a major stroke that took him out.
So I didn't really get to know Grandpa Lovic, but got to grow up with Grandma Minnie for the 9 years she lived with our family.
When I was in my 20's, I began attending a Full Gospel Church in the town of Concord, California (about 20 miles east of Antioch).
Then I transitioned to a similar kind of church called Family Worship Center. They were located in Pleasant Hill, near Concord. They rented out a movie theater for their Sunday morning services. On mid-week services, they rented out a small church in Concord.
I was a member of that church for about 10 years or so.
Then in 1995 I transitioned over to a church in Oakland, California named Shiloh Christian Fellowship. The pastors were and are the Kiteley Family.
Pastors David Kiteley and his mother Mrs. Kiteley have now gone on to be with the Lord. Mrs. Kiteley was the director of the Bible College (called Shiloh Bible College).
The current pastors are the offspring of Pastor David and Marilyn Kiteley, and the grand children of Pastor Violet Kiteley.
The lead pastors now are Javier and Melinda Ramos.
Beginning in 1995, I attended Shiloh Bible College for 8 years and graduated with a 4.0 gpa and received a Bachelor of Theology degree in 2003. Then for 2 years I took Master's Degree classes, but did not finish the Master's program.
Since that time I have diligently taught the Word of God over the internet on various blogs I have had over the years, as well as on Facebook and Twitter and other social media sites.
Currently, I just teach, preach and minister on my blog and on Twitter.

I named it after one of my precious daughters.
I got married 4 years ago to a very dear godly man of God, and we have children.
I am a stay at home wife and mother now, and enjoy doing hobbies such as cross stitch projects, cooking, listening to anointed praise and worship music and reading books from Christian authors.
I play the piano (electric keyboard). I specialize in just playing praise and worship music.
The easiest key for me to play in is the key of C. Am still learning to play in other keys that are more challenging.
Some of my favorite Christian authors include:
Kenneth E. Hagin Sr.
Kenneth and Gloria Copeland
Charles and Francis Hunter
Benny Hinn
Mark Hankins
and many others.
My favorite musical artists are the Jimmy Swaggart singers and band. I have almost every one of their worship CD's.
I also enjoy listening to Nancy Harmon (she recently went to be with the Lord).
I also have CD's from Benny Hinn crusades that are anointed.
Both of my parents are now in Heaven. My mother passed on in 2019 from cardiovascular disease. She was 81.
My father went to be with the Lord just 14 months after my mom went. He missed her too much and was ready to go on. He also went of cardiovascular disease as well. He was age 79 when he went.
I really miss my parents, but know I will see them again in Heaven when my time comes.
God bless you!
