July 5, 2004 is another wonderful day to praise the name of my creator because He so dramatically saved my physical life on this day.

So unworthy, yet God demonstrated His power of healing for me that day! I am in wonder and still astonished of His marvelous grace!

You, Lord Jesus, are the reason I am living! You, Lord Jesus, are the Almighty God, the Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace.

You, Lord Jesus, were the Lamb sacrificed to pay the price of our sins, at the place of the skulls. You, Lord, are coming back as the Lion of Judea to rescue Israel.

You, Lord, prevented men from killing me with hammers during a daylight robbery, and guided the hands of Dr. Wayne Wheeler and the SOMC emergency team to prepare me for air flight to Grant Hospital.

It was then said, “He will never make it to Columbus alive,” as someone later explained to me! Grant hospital gave Dr. Wheeler and the emergency staff high praise for their medical expertise in preparing my trauma crisis, as I do.

Thank you Dr. Wayne Wheeler and everybody at SOMC, and may the “the Great Physician” bless you all.

The experienced nurses said that I was a “walking miracle,” and that my recovery time was absolutely remarkable. Thank you Grant Hospital and your entire staff.

Christians by the hundreds were praying to God for my recovery, churches throughout the Tri-State. Different groups sought out our Lord on my behalf, and I want to thank every church and every individual for their thoughtfulness.

Thank you fellow Christians, and may our Lord richly reward you.

Many others who voiced their concern about me, thank you sincerely, and may the Lord reward you by saving your soul.

Seek the Lord, and you shall find Him; ask of Him, and you will be saved, for the Bible says that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!

Thank You, King of Glory!
