Proof of the power of prayer and God's mercy.

Aug 1978.

 

My beloved CJ7. To avoid a head-on with an oncoming vehicle in my lane, I steered off the highway, went up an embankment, into a field, hit a ravine and flipped end over end.

 

 This event was nearly fatal. Spared by the Grace of God and the skills of an excellent medical team. Three skull fractures, wrenched neck, broken clavicle, broken ribs, crushed left hand little finger. 10 days in ICU at Saint Louis Barnes Hospital that I do not recall. Released from hospital shortly after Halloween. Released from doctor's care day before Thanksgiving.

 

BOTTOM LINE = I am living proof of the power of prayer and God's mercy.
