I have been a Christian since I was a junior in high school.
I was saved at a young life conference in my high school auditorium.
I always tried to live the life a Christian should live, but after going
away to college, my personal relationship with Jesus Christ had wavered
and been put on the back burner. I married and had 2 daughters, whom
have been brought up in the church, baptised and saved. My husband,
too. I have a good life, but 3 years ago I came down with viral encephalitis
and was in a coma for 3 days, and seizured for 17 hours. straight. When
I came to, I realized how close to death I had been and how the Lord
had truly blessed me. I have never had another seizure and I do not
have any medications that I have to take. I have no brain damage, but
what I do have is a new, personal relationship with king Jesus, my Lord
and Saviour. I believe the Lord spared me from this life threatening
illness to be a witness for him and to tell others what he has done
in my life.

I am forever thankful to God for sparing my life in Viet Nam
and giving me a second chance. The only thing that really saddens me
is all those who DIDN'T get that second chance. I guess that is why
I spend so much of my time trying to help my fellow veterans. I went
to church as a boy, but I didn't know the meaning of having a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ until after I was wounded in Viet Nam.
Wondering why I was spared put me on a spiritual journey that resulted
in finding and accepting Christ as my personal Saviour. Being the leader
of a Point Man group gives me the opportunity to help those who are
hurting and I can surely understand where they're coming from. I am
still 100% disabled due to my injury in Vietnam and am unable to work
because of a severe memory impairment due to a traumatic head injury,
but I don't have to sit back and play the part of a victim. I will do
what I can to assist those who need and want help and I will do it till
the day I die!
