“Surviving an Accident, Growing In Faith”

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

[1 Thessalonians 5:28 (NIV)]

About 15 years ago I was in a very serious auto accident. I was drinking and flipped a van over four and a half times, end over end. I was ejected out of the van through the middle of the windshield and ended up in a ditch. About 30 minutes passed before people finally found me.

I had died a few times waiting there in the ditch and more when they found me (which were documented at MCV - Medical College of Virginia).

Let me digress to one of the many times I passed. I recall that I went somewhere, and I was in the most beautiful place I had ever seen. It was all white like no other, I cannot even explain how wonderful it was. A peace came over me that, wow, was simply amazing.

I was kind of in a tunnel of glorious white that got even whiter at the end. I was on like a moving sidewalk going toward a woman, I thought. When I reached the end, a woman dressed in all white, sitting at a piano that was white also, was playing the most beautiful music I had ever heard. I thought to myself, “I am here, I have arrived and this is where I want to be.”

The EMTs used the defibulator on me and shocked me back to life, but I was then in a coma. I remained in a coma for 32 days.

I had broken my arm, ruptured my diaphragm and, last but definitely not least, my neck had broken in 3 places. Because I was in a coma, they did not even x-ray my neck. But once again Jesus was with me, and I did not move for 32 days, which provided some time (though not ample time) to get things straight.

Then I was x-rayed, and they said I should not have made it. But I did. And they told my poor mother that I would never walk again. Fooled them. There’s more to tell you, but it’s too lengthy.

Now after reading this portion of my story, I hope you’re convinced that there is a God.
