I posted this on my Facebook: Friday evening, I was in a car accident. Both cars were totaled. My two big dogs were with me. The car was loaded with heavy things like crockpots and soda cans. When we collided, it was as if in a slow motion. I saw the dogs fly. to the back. I saw the car crumple. I had to kick my way out of the passenger door. The ER doc, nurse, and EMT said I would be in bad shape for 4 to 6 weeks. I am covered in black bruises. Three days later, my pain is slight. The dogs appear fine and happy. The crock pots were found intact, along the back seat of the van, appearing undisturbed. Every day I wake up a bondservant to the living God. I see him everywhere. He is joy. He is delight. He has chosen to be glorified in me. The MDA Clinic told me as a child, I would be in a wheelchair if I had a child. It would advance my disease. Yet, I am still standing. Three specialists said I couldn't conceive naturally. I have four sons. I have been married for 30 years and we are so in love. We nearly parted many times. But God healed us. I developed a pain syndrome, idiopathic peripheral burning neuropathy, that rarely resolves. I was told by three neurologists that it doesn't. It is almost healed three years later. For 32 years we have been living on a wing and prayer and God takes care of us faithfully, generously. There is no magical skydaddy. There is a Creator, YHWH. And He is waiting to enter into a relationship with those who want to be his children. Please visit my son's site at InDefenseOfGrace.com to learn the sufficiency of Christ's death upon the cross to redeem sinful man. You don't need a church, or rituals. You don't need a special prayer. You need God, and He can do the rest. Attachments:

WOW! boymaker I am happy to hear you are ok. And equally humbled by this short piece of your testimony of how amazingly faithful our God is, even when we are not!

A true miracle. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! I'm grateful that you and both dogs are ok. God is good.

God works so differently in each of our lives, so thank you for sharing His faithful working in yours. This is very true. And I know you meant it in kindness but it made me sad. I write of what He has given me. I don't focus on what I don't have: 1). Days without pain 2). Fulfilling employment 3). Parents that didn't reject me 4). Any biological family other than my children 5). A home that I own or mortgage 6). A tight knit group of friends 7). Saving of any significance. 8). Mental clarity Others have that. And not being envious of them was a huge obstacle for me to overcome, but I'm pretty close. The world enjoys telling me no. I delight in the times God said "yes" and exercised His authority over those limitations. That's how He and I connect. I still live under many limitations and I buck and rage against them every day. But He has become my strong tower.
