I am creating this page to Honor my parents for raising me up in the way of the Lord.  

I was born and raised in small town Iowa. I was the only girl with 3 brothers.  (side note 4 brothers). I was blessed with parents that made sure I knew who GOD was. Growing up I always knew the driving force of church every Sunday and Christmas eve mass was my dad. Duaine Wend was his given name. When his parents had him baptized the priest said Duaine was not a Catholic name. So, they called him Mark. Most of my childhood I knew my dad as Mark. This year (2020) when my dad died the police thought there was a problem when they checked his SS number and his ID. This story will make me smile the rest of my life.

I got married when I was 17. Had 3 kids. My marriage is like any others with its ups and downs. Today because of the grace of GOD we are still married. Because of my Dad’s driving force to make sure I knew who GOD is, I was baptized as a baby, and went to Church every week until I got married. As I was raising my kids GOD placed it on my heart to make sure my kids knew GOD. Throughout my life GOD placed questions on my heart. I never started seeking the answers until the past few years. The first question GOD placed on my heart was when I was in 2nd grade. GOD answered the question during a bible study when I was in my 50’s. Even though I was raised going to church regularly I did not do any Bible studies until I was 49. That is when more questions started whispering in my soul. And I started to ask questions like Where is that in the Bible? Does the Bible really say that? The Holy Spirit made me dig into the Bible for the answers. The more I did Bible studies and dug for answers the more JOY GOD gave me. The Holy Spirit compelled me to start sharing my questions at my church. Then 2020 and COVID-19 -19 happened. We could not go to church for several weeks. As I sat at home on Sunday morning missing church and digging for questions to share at church, GOD placed it on my heart to share my questions on the internet. 6 months later I am starting this page. Someone told me just do it even it you are scared. The past few years I have been grateful that my Dad made sure that I knew GOD.  When my Dad died this year, I knew I had to start this page to honor him.

As I write each question on this page, I want to honor my parents for raising me up in the way of the LORD.  I don’t claim to be an expert about what the Bible says. The Holy Spirit lead me to answer the questions in my soul with a scripture. My goal with my questions on this page is to answer questions with scripture.
