AS YOU READ THIS BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS TRIAL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE UTMOST THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN THROUGH...but before I continue with what happened to me, I want to make you aware of the Importance of knowing what Deep Vein Thrombosis and how each of us should know more about it.

Here is a web link that will be beneficial, not only, with blood clots, but many other medical issues we encounter during out life here on earth...http://www.ehealthmd.com/library/dvt/DVT_whatis.html

What Is Deep Vein Thrombosis?

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition in which blood clots form in a vein deep within the body. The word thrombosis means forming a blood clot. The clot itself is called a thrombus.

DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein and remains there.

DVT usually involves the formation of a large clot in the deep veins in the lower legs and thighs. In rare instances, DVT can occur in the area around the armpit and collar bone (axillary-subclavian vein thrombosis), in the upper arm, abdomen, or pelvic region.

It is a dangerous condition because the clot may become dislodged from the vein and travel inside the vein all the way to the lung, where it may get trapped and block a vessel in the lung. This is called pulmonary embolism, which can be deadly.

Deep vein thrombosis most often occurs in:

• Hospitalized patients following surgery.
• Individuals confined to bed for prolonged periods.
• Healthy individuals whose legs remain immobilized for long stretches of time, such as passengers on lengthy airline flights.

Need To Know: Because deep vein thrombosis can have serious consequences, early detection is essential to prevent complications like pulmonary embolism. Surgeons, for example, are always on the lookout for DVT following surgery.

Need To Know: Q. Who is at risk for deep vein thrombosis? A. Some people are more likely than others to develop thrombosis. Those at risk include: The elderly Diabetics People with blood disorders Women who take oral contraceptives (birth control pills) or other medications that contain the hormone estrogen People with a history of thrombosis People who have just undergone major surgeries or have just suffered a bone fracture.

 

" WOULD NOT WANT TO RETRACT IT FOR ANY WEATH OR ANYTHING."

IT WAS NOT WHAT I HAD DONE OR WILL EVER DO, BUT IT WAS WHAT JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY GHOST AND GOD THE FATHER DID THAT MAKES ME NOW REALIZE THAT THE GOD EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT, HE IS REAL AND IS NEAR TO THOSE WITH A CONTRITE SPIRT...A BROKEN SPIRIT.

I just recently receive a REQUEST FROM A LONG TIME BROTHER IN CHRIST wanting to hear more about my TESTIMONY OF BEING RAISED FROM THE DEAD.

THIS INDIVIDUAL HAS PASTORED FOR THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AND HAVE FAITHFULLY MINISTERED TO MANY SOULS.

RECENTLY THIS BROTHER E-MAILED ME TO TELL ME THAT HE RESIGNED THE CHURCH THAT HE HAS BEEN PASTORING.

HE DESCRIBED IT AS A LAUGH...SAYING " HERE IS A LAUGH"

I HAVE REMOVED SOME OF THE LONG TERMONOLOGY FROM MY TESTIMONAL AND PULLED OUT WHAT I THINK WOULD MAKE IT MORE EFFECTIVE FOR THE READER TO UNDERSTAND.

LIKE THE BIBLE DESCRIBES THE WORD OF GOD.

Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

You wanted to hear more about LAZARUS BEING RAISED FROM THE DEAD, THAT IS WHAT THEY AT VANDERBILT INTRODUCED ME EACH MORNING TO ALL THE OTHER DOCTORS AND PERSONELL THAT WOULD VISIT MY ROOM.

AS YOU READ AND LOOK AT THIS THAT IS PLACED HERE, I WANT YOU TO REALIZE AS I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT NOTHING THAT I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST OR WILL EVER DO, WOULD HAVE BROUGHT ME THROUGH THIS TRIAL.

I FOUND THAT IT WAS NOT MY CHOICE AT ALL

IT WAS WHAT JESUS CHRIST DID ON THAT CROSS THAT TOOK OVER AT MY TIME OF, "WHAT WAS SURE DEATH FOR ME".

BY ALL RIGHTS I SHOULD BE BURIED IN A CASKET UNDER THE EARTH, BUT THANKS TO JESUS CHRIST, GOD THE FATHER, AND THE HOLY GHOST, ALONG WITH THOSE AT VANDERBILT HOSPITAL IN NASHVILLE TN THAT DID SUCH A SURPERB JOB IN DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE AND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO SAVE ME AND TO BRING ME BACK TO WHAT THEY SAID, " THIS IS LAZARUS" WE RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD.

I WANT TO THANK GOD AND GIVE HONOR FOR THOSE THAT TOOK CARE OF ME.

TO MY FAIMLY AND FRIENDS I OWE A GREAT DEBT TO THEM FOR THEIR COMFORT THAT THEY HAVE SHOWN.

I REALIZE THAT MY WIFE AND CHILDREN AND IN-LAWS ALONG WITH MANY CHRISTIANS THAT PRAYED FOR ME, THAT ALL THEIR PRAYERS WAS ANSWERED.

AS YOU READ THIS AND LOOK AT THE PICTURES THAT WAS TAKEN AT VANDERBILT, I WANT YOU TO REALIZE THAT IT IS NOT WHAT YOU HAVE OR WILL DO WHEN YOU COME TO THE PLACE THAT I CAME TO, BUT IT IS WHAT JESUS SAID..." I WILL NEVER LEAVE OR FORSAKE YOU ".

I WILL TRY TO DESCRIBE THE EXPERIENCE AS BEST AS I CAN REMEMBER, ALONG WITH THOSE THAT HAVE TOLD ME SOME THINGS THAT TOOK PLACE THAT I WASN'T ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AT THE TIME THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING.

THE STAFF AT VANDERBILT SAID, " GOD HAS SOMETHING FOR YOU TO DO" AND THEY ALSO SAID... " TO TELL MY TESTIMONAL, THAT I SURE HAD A TESTIMONAL".

AS I LAY IN THE VICE OF DEATH, MY BODY DIED, (PER DOCTOR) MY SPIRIT AND SOUL WAS TAKEN BY GOD TO A " WINDOW OF FAITH" WHERE I SAW THE VISIONS AND THEN WAS Brought BACK INTO MY CARNAL BODY.

I SINCERLY HOPE THAT ALL THAT READ THIS WILL REALIZE AS I NOW REALIZE THAT THE GOD THAT WE SERVE IS A " GOD OF LOVE AND COMPASSION".

MY SINCERE HOPE IS THAT AS YOU READ THIS, YOU WILL FIND THAT YOUR FAITH IS STRONGER AND THAT, SHOULD YOU FACE THIS OR AS OTHERS HAVE FACED MANY TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS, THAT YOU WILL BE ASSURED THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE IS THE LIFE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

I WOULDN'T WANT TO FACE THE TRIAL THAT I HAVE JUST FACED AND NOT HAVE JESUS CHRIST IN MY LIFE.

THESE PICTURES THAT IS PLACE HERE IS TO ALLOW YOU TO COME TO GRIP WITH THAT WHICH CAN AND VERY POSSIBLE COME TO EACH OF US IN THIS JOURNEY ON THIS EARTH.

I HOPE THAT YOU DON'T AND ARE NOT OFFENDED BY MY PLACEING THEM IN THIS DOCUMENT ON THIS WEB PAGE.

The pictures of me, and the Surgeon, along with the Nurses and THE BLOOD CLOT that the surgeon call... " THIS IS NOTHING BUT A DEVIL"

I placed them at the top where you can open them to see how that god raised me from the dead.

COMING TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST AS MY SAVIOR IN THE YEAR OF 1959 AND HAVING THIS THOUGHT TO SHARE WITH THOSE THAT DO KNOW HIM AS YOUR SAVIOR, THAT HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU IN ANY TRIALS OR DISAPPOINTMENTS THAT YOU MAY FACE.

Those that don't know him as your Savior, he can be near to you just for the asking.

OVER THE YEARS I CAN SAY THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ALL THAT I SHOULD BE AS A CHRISTIAN, BUT I CAN TRULY SAY THAT JESUS CHRIST HAS BEEN ALL THAT IS WRITTEN IN THE WORD OF GOD WHICH IS WHAT HE IS.

YES, THE WORD OF GOD IS GOD.

JESUS MADE THIS PROMISE TO THOSE THAT ACCEPT THEM AS LORD AND SAVIOR,

THE REASON WAS:

IN JULY 07... I HAD TO HAVE A DOUBLE BY-PASS ON MY HEART.

THE OPERATION FOR THE DOUBLE BY-PASS WENT VERY WELL AND I WAS DISCHARGED TO GO BACK HOME.

AFTER I ARRIVED HOME, I THOUGHT I WAS DOING FINE AND WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO RECOVERING AND BEING BACK TO MY NORMAL SELF.

I WALKED UP A FLIGHT OF STAIRS AT MY HOME, WHEN I REACHED THE TOP, I COULD GO NO FARTHER, I HAD TO HAVE HELP FROM MY SON TO GET ME DOWN TO THE LOWER LEVEL.

THEY SAID THAT I COULD CLIMB STAIRS AS LONG AS I DIDN’T PULL WITH MY ARMS AND IT WOULD BE FINE.

I HAD TO LIE DOWN IN BED AND AFTER SEVERAL HOURS INTO THAT NIGHT, MY WIFE CALLED 911 TO COME AND TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL.

THE AMBULANCE CAME AND PREPARED ME FOR THE TRIP TO THE HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM.

I WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER AT LEBANON TENNESSEE WHERE MY HEART SPECIALIST’S OFFICE IS NEARBY.

AFTER ARRIVING THERE THEY LET ME LAY THERE IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING WHEN MY HEART DOCTOR CAME IN AND ADMITTED ME TO THE HOSPITAL.

THAT DAY... TEST WERE RUN ON ME TO FIND WHY THAT I COULD NOT BREATH VERY GOOD, FOR I HAD TO HAVE A OXYGEN MASK ON TO BREATH, AND THEY DID A SONOGRAM CHECKING MY GALL BLADDER AND KIDNEYS, IT HAD NEVER ENTERED INTO THEIR MINDS TO CHECK FOR A BLOOD CLOT.

MY VITAL SIGNS WAS GOOD FROM THE DOUBLE BY-PASS AND THAT FIRST NIGHT MY WIFE LEFT TO GO AND STAY WITH MY SON AND HIS WIFE THAT LIVED NEAR-BY.

THE NEXT DAY I WAS IN MY ASSIGNED ROOM, HAVING VISITORS, MY WIFE RETUNED TO BE BY MY SIDE.

GOING INTO THE NIGHT AND WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE MORE TEST DONE THE NEXT DAY, DURING THE NIGHT MY WIFE NOTICED THAT I BEGAN TO TURN BLUE, AND SHE PUT A CALL FOR AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.

THIS WAS A LIFE THREAT TO MY LIFE AS I HAD STARTED TO LEAVE THIS WORLD AND COULD FEEL MYSELF DEPARTING.

MY SON AND HIS WIFE HAD BEEN CALLED IN ALONG WITH A CALL GOING OUT TO ALL MY CHILDREN TO COME TO THE HOSPITAL.

THEY CALLED A SPECIAL NURSE FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE HOSPITAL, AND ANOTHER NURSE WAS CALLED IN FROM OFF DUTY TO MY BEDSIDE.

THEY THEN CALLED MY HEART DOCTOR AND HAD HER STANDING BY AND FINALLY MY HEART DOCTOR WAS CALLED TO THE HOSPITAL TO MY BEDSIDE.

MY HEART DOCTOR FINALLY REALIZED THAT I HAD A BLOOD CLOT AND TOLD MY WIFE THAT, “ HE HAS A BLOOD CLOT”

MY WIFE BECAME VERY UPSET AND WANTED ME MOVED, “RIGHT NOW” TO VANDERBILT IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE.

THE SURGEON THAT HAD PERFORMED THE DOUBLE BY-PASS HAD TAKEN A TRIP TO CALIFORNIA AND WAS STILL IN CALIFORNIA WHEN MY HEART DOCTOR CALLED HIM AND HAD HIM TO GET IN-TOUCH WITH VANDERBILT TO ARRANGE TO HAVE ME A ROOM READY.

HE ARRANGED THE ROOM WHILE I WAS BEING STABILIZED FOR THE MOVEMENT TO VANDERBILT.

THE AIRLIFT WAS CONSIDERED BUT WAS TOO RISKY AS IT HAD MUCH A VIBRATIONS WHEN IN FLIGHT, AND WAS RULED OUT.

AN EMERGENCY AMBULANCE WAS BROUGHT IN AND I WAS PREPARED TO BE MOVED AFTER I WAS STABILIZED ENOUGH TO MAKE THE TRIP.

I WAS PUT INTO THE EMERGENCY AMBULANCE AND TRANSPORTED TO VANDERBILT HOSPITAL IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE.

MY SON RODE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SAID THAT THEY WERE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS AT TIME IN EXCESS OF ONE HUNDRED MILES PER HOUR.

ARRIVING AT THE EMERGENCY AT VANDERBILT, I WAS RUSHED TO MY ROOM AND FROM THERE THEY RUSHED ME TO THE C T TO HAVE A SCAN MADE, THEN BACK TO MY ROOM.

NO SOONER THAT I ARRIVE BACK FROM THE C T THERE WAS An EMERGENCY CALL DONE BY THE DOCTOR AND NURSES, AND IMMEDIATELY THEY TOOK ME FROM MY ROOM AND RUSHED ME TO THE OPERATING ROOM.

THERE WERE FIVE DOCTORS THERE IN MY ROOM IMMEDIATELY ... THEY GRABBED ME AND WHEELED ME DOWN THE HALLWAYS AND RUNNING PEOPLE OUT OF THE ELEVATOR THAT WAS AVAILABLE, PUTTING A KEY IN THE ELEVATOR AND MAKING IT NONE STOP TO THE FLOOR OF THE OPERATING ROOM.

OFF THE ELEVATOR AND DOWN THE HALLWAY, SHOUTING FOR EVERYONE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, “WE HAVE A EMERGENCY” AND THOSE IN THE HALLWAYS QUICKLY MOVED THEMSELVES AND WHAT EVER WAS IN THE WAY, THEY MOVED IT QUICKLY.

I REMEMBER GOING THROUGH ALL THIS, AS I WAS AWAKE AND ALERT ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.

WHEN THEY WHEELED ME INTO THE DOORS OF THE OPERATING ROOM, I COULD SEE THE ROOM WAS FILL WITH NURSES AND DOCTORS, “MAYBE SOME OF THEM WAS ANGELS” WHO KNOWS WHO WAS THERE.

THEY BEGAN TO PREPARE ME AS THEY WORKED REVERENTLY TO OPERATE AND REMOVE THE BLOOD CLOT FROM MY BODY THAT HAD MOVED UP FROM MY RIGHT LEG AND WAS LAYING READY TO GO DOWN INTO MY LUNGS.

ONLY GOD KNOWS HOW THAT THIS BLOOD CLOT DID NOT MOVE ANY FARTHER, HAD IT MOVED ANY FARTHER I WOULD BE DEAD INSTANTLY.

THE SURGEON ASKED FOR THE KNIFE AND TOOK IT AND PUSHED IT INTO MY CHEST WHERE I HAD HAD BEEN OPENED UP TWO WEEKS TO THE DAY AND THE SAME HOURS BEFORE.

THEY HAD NOT YET PUT ME TO SLEEP AS I SUPPOSE IT TAKES TIME FOR THIS TO TAKE PLACE AND COULD ONLY BE DONE SAFELY.

WHEN THE KNIFE WENT INTO MY CHEST, I FELT A PAIN LIKE I HAVE NEVER FELT BEFORE.

I ASK, “ WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME”, I FELT THAT GOD HAD FORSAKEN ME.

I FELT TOO THAT GOD HAD FORSAKEN ME AS THE PAIN WAS INDESCRIBABLE.

I ALSO ASKED GOD TO, “LET ME DIE”.

I ASKED THEM THERE IN THE OPERATING ROOM TO, “PLEASE PUT ME TO SLEEP”.

I FINALLY WAS ASLEEP.

THEN MY SOUL AND MY SPIRIT WAS TAKEN FROM MY CARNAL BODY AND TAKEN TO A, WHAT I DESCRIBE AS, “WINDOW OF FAITH”.

I GUESS HE MAY HAVE COME FOR ME TO TAKE ME TO BE WITH ALL THE OTHERS THAT HAVE GONE TO PARADISE BUT WAS NOT TO BE AT THAT TIME.

THE NEXT VISION WAS OF A JACKASS WHICH WAS LARGER LIKE A ZEBRA BUT DID NOT HAVE STRIPES BUT HAD GRAY HAIR.

THIS JACKASS WAS LOOKING STRAIGHT AHEAD AND IN HIS SIDE WAS A MULTITUDE OF ALL SORTS OF PRECIOUS STONES, THEY MOVED FROM PLACE TO PLACE, EACH ONE OF THEM THAT MOVED, WAS ALWAYS REPLACED WITH ANOTHER THAT WOULD BE MOVED INTO THE SAME PLACE THAT THE OTHER MOVED AWAY FORM.

THE BEAUTY OF THEM WAS SO INDESCRIBABLE BY ONES VOICE.

ALSO, I SAW ANOTHER VISION OF SEVERAL LARGE DIAMONDS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A VOLLEYBALL, THEY WERE IN A TRAY LIKE SHAPED THAT HELD THEM.

THESE DIAMONDS HAD PROJECTILES THAT PROTRUDED FROM THEM, BEING SEVERAL AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE DIAMONDS.

ON EACH OF THE PROJECTILES WAS SMALLER BALL LIKE DIAMONDS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A TENNIS BALL.

AS I BEHELD THOSE DIAMONDS IN THE TRAY, ONE OF THEM AT A TIME WOULD RUN OUT FROM THE OTHERS FOR A FEW FEET THEN RUN BACK INTO THE TRAY OF THE OTHERS.

THEY ALL KEPT DOING THIS, RUNNING OUT AND THEN RUNNING BACK IN.

THESE AGAIN WAS INDESCRIBABLE IN BEAUTY.

ANOTHER VISION SHOWN ME WAS THAT OF FLAMES OF FIRE LIKE APPEARANCES THAT SEEM TO GO FOREVER AND THEY WERE IN-FOLDING BACKWARDS AND THE BEAUTY OF THESE WAS INDESCRIBABLE.

I COULD HEAR WHAT SEEM TO BE VOICES AS I LAY NEAR A WINDOW THAT I COULD NOT SEE THROUGH, THESE VOICES SEEMED TO BE THOSE THAT WERE IN PARADISE WITH JESUS.

I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE SAYING, BUT I KNEW THAT THEY WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS WINDOW.

I SAW NO BRIGHT LIGHTS AS OTHERS HAVE SAID THAT THEY SAW, AND HEARD NOT OTHER VOICES OTHER THAN THOSE THAT WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WINDOW.

I WAS IN WHAT I DESCRIBE AS TOTAL PEACE, OR TOTAL LOVE.

THEY AT VANDERBILT SAID THAT THEY HAD KNOWN OF ONLY THREE THAT SIZE.

THEY SAID THAT ONE DIED IN IRAQ WITH ONE THAT SIZE, THE OTHER WAS THERE AT VANDERBILT AND HAD A THIRTY-INCH-LONG BLOOD CLOT AND HE SURVIVED FROM IT.

THIS ONE THAT WAS TAKEN FROM MY BODY, WAS THE THIRD ONE AND ALL CREDIT GOES FIRST OF ALL TO, GOD, AND TO THE FINE SKILLED SURGEON THAT SAVED MY LIFE.

HAD HE NOT ACTED QUICKLY AND BEEN GIVE THE KNOWLEDGE BY GOD, TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM SUCH IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, MY BODY WOULD BE BURIED IN THE GRAVE, BUT MY SOULS AND SPIRITUAL BODY WOULD BE WITH JESUS CHRIST IN PARADISE.

ONE PICTURE IS AUTOGRAPHED BY THE SURGEON THAT PERFORMED THE OPERATION.

THE OTHER PICTURES ARE SHOWN AS PROF THAT WHAT I AM TELLING YOU DID HAPPEN AND THAT THERE AT VANDERBILT IT WAS SAID THAT “I HAD LEFT MY MARK AROUND HERE”.

ALL OF THOSE THAT WORKED IN THE CARDIAC WARD KNEW THAT GOD HAD BROUGHT ME BACK FROM THE DEAD AS THE PHYSICIAN THAT BROUGHT OTHER VISITING DOCTORS OR INTERNS ALONG WITH THOSE, HE WOULD INTRODUCE ME AS “LAZARUS” EACH MORNING AS HE VISITED MY ROOM.

HE WOULD SAY TO THEM, “WE RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD”.

I HAVE PLACED THESE PICTURES HERE FOR TO REMOVE ANY DOUBT THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT GOD BRINGING ME BACK FROM THE DEAD, THROUGH THOSE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN GREAT TALENTS AND SURGICAL SKILLS UNTO.

Arriving at Vanderbilt early, around 7:30 am, I checked in and done the paperwork, then was taken to have an Echogram on my Heart.

If you have read my Testimonial then you are aware of the procedure that was performed on me, if not you can scroll down on this page for the complete documentary of what took place with me.

The Echogram was done today, and the reading from the Echogram showed that nothing of any concern was found, that my heart was in good condition.

After Visiting with my Heart Doctor there at Vanderbilt, other things needed to be done, such as:

Blood was taken for to monitor my Coumadin level, this is for thinning my blood and keeping it as a safe level to prevent having a blood clot.

This was quite an experience for my family, and me as it took my life from me.

Truly if you will read the transcript below, and look at the pictures, you will see that I was on Life Support, and as I wrote afore in my own words, " I left, that is my Soul and Spirit left my body while they, the fine skilled Doctors and Nurses, and all that was there in the Operating room, did marvelous & fine job.

After I had completed my required test and all today, I looked and saw Two of the Nurses, the first one smiled as she came by, and I don't know if she remembered, but I'm sure that she was wondering where she had seem me.

She was and is in one of the final pictures that was taken along with another Male Nurse, but the Surgeon that opened me up the Second time in just Two weeks from the day to the same hour, there about, he also is in the picture.

Again I want to thank God first; Jesus Christ and the Holy ghost for this victory that I am able to sit and communicate to you the reader today.

This other Nurse, she was one that I personally had a medical experience with, she would be the one to always remove the wires and the tubes, having to jerk them from running inside me, and believe me the pain was not something that I enjoyed.

As she did her job, and died it very well, I remember that she always had A Big Smile, and that smile made the pain seem to be less than what it really was.

She then wanted me to Walk to the Intensive Care Unit so that she could tell the others that I was there today, and that looking at me, she along many others there knew that God had performed a Miracle on me by bringing me back from the Dead.

My Wife and I walked with her to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, and she begin to ask those that if they remember Lazarus, and they responded with a "Yes I Remember"

One of the Male Nurses grabbed me and gave me a big Hug, then the "Flash Back of all that I went through Flashed before my Eyes, and Tears began to come from My Eyes, and the Joy that we shared there with them makes, even though the Pain that I suffered, makes this experience un-retractable, meaning that I found Joy in My Persecutions that was laid upon me.

With that visit and the other visits and being able to share with those that took my blood sample, and those that took an EKG, I saw the Spirit of God's love wittiness to each one that I shared it with.

I know that each of us sometimes have to come to the road where "Two Roads Meet" and some of us may have to borrow a Jackass like Jesus did to ride into Jerusalem to be Humiliated, and Rejected, but when we come where Two Roads come together we can find that there is, Even the Beast, there that we can climb upon and with that we can know that Jesus has traveled on that beast, and is still directing our paths for the good, or that the outcome that we cannot realize at that moment has already been tried by Jesus Christ .

As Jesus looked beyond the Cross, I am sure that that Donkey was the Instrument that would carry him to his final hour on this earth as the Very Human, Yet God, and Redeemer.

Jesus was able to see for me beyond my circumstances that I was about to endure and to make sure that " I Overcome it also, just as he overcome for me and the rest of the world"

Now this brings up the fact, that I want to share with the reader, although they were paid to do their Job, I noticed the Gifts of God working through each of them, as they did what they felt from their hearts.

Not that I would want to endure the same Afflictions that I had to endure, nor would I want anyone, even my worst enemy, to have to endure.

But to say that this trial, and what I have been able to Share with those, whom tears have run down the cheeks of some, I would not rejoice in the health that I had most of my life, which I thank god for, but I rejoice that through those that did a service to me during this Illness, and for what the outcome is, I would not want to retract it for any amount of money or processions that I have or may have.

What I want to leave with the reader is, that we as god's chosen people, we sometimes find ourselves doing the same thing as those Jews did when Jesus came, they were placing burdens, many burdens upon those that aren't able to bear them alone.

I asked god, " Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me" just as Jesus was human, I too am and always have been Human, and the Pain that I felt as the Surgeon stuck the knife into my chest for the second time in Two short weeks, to open me up to remove this, what the Surgeon called " This Is Nothing But A Devil' .

I begged god to die, and begged those there to put me to sleep, as they really had not time to put me to sleep due to the Emergency of the Blood Clot.

I had already turned blue, at another Hospital, which I have said along with my wife, that we will never go back to that place, for I was treated like I have by some of those in the Churches that I have been in and Preached in" Pure Devils, just like the one that crawled up out of my right leg and made it's was to go into my lungs, taking my Lifeline from me.

You can boast in the fact that you pay your Tithes, and Pray, Fast and do all sort of things that you believe that gets you a better position with god, but let me tell you first hand that, "It don't make any difference what you have done, either good or bad" When you come to the place that I came to, it was not what I had done, but what "Jesus Christ" done.

A Nurse ran down the Hallway saying, " I am going to pray for that man" as the doctors wheeled me to the operating room in such a frantic dramatic hurry, running people off of the elevator, putting a key in the elevator to make it express to the floor of the operating room, then running as hard and fast as they could, yelling to those in the hallways to get out of the way saying " We have an Emergency" wheeling me into the operating room, while I am awake and aware of all that is being done, I can say that I had no fear at all, for I knew that there were those that were concerned about my welfare, and showed it and most of all, The Holy Ghost, being God the Father and God the Son, was riding with me in my heart, and when I was wheeled into the Operating room, I have never seen so many persons in one room, they were there, and who know, maybe the Angels of God were there, and most of all, I suppose that I could say that , Jesus was there too.

He wanted me to go to churches and tell my testimonial, for he said that " I sure had A Testimonial"

I wish that I could have seen him today, and shake, or even give him a hug, but it was not to be.

But I did get to see some of them and O how I wish I could find such Vehement Love among those that seem to have all the answers.

But it is not I that will determine, all that will become of each of us, will be what he has done for us, that day on the Cross.

I serve a resurrected Lord, a God of the Living, and not the Dead, so please, when you read these lines, please say a prayer for me, and also pray that those that are stated in the following passage of the Bible would take heed to what it is requiring, "I have already done so" and for to bring love once again to our nation, this must be done, as an absolute for each of us...2 Chron. 7:14 (KJV) If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

He is not talking to the Jews only, but the Spiritual Jews which is you and I, the Jew Inward, that we are called by his name, and his name is " Jesus Christ" the Emanuel.

Update:

My Recovery has been as expected, being now the 8th Day of June 2008.

I must admit that what has happened has left its mark upon my body, and has left among many things, thoughts that are sometime depressing.

Not being able to come to grips with the illness would be as expected, that is, when you are not at your full potential, or expected potential.

Having to admit that, just maybe, that I will never be the same again as I was before, has taken its toll upon both my body and my mind.

With the medication that one has to take with such a drastic event, is like having to depend upon something or someone to be able to continue on in life.

Life itself has become at times a dread, and sometimes one could very well be satisfied to have gone on to be with the lord and would not have to go through the recovery part.

I ask the question, "Why" and I suppose from hearing others talk about some of their experiences and having read the book titled " 90 Minutes in Heaven" which makes one realize that your troubles have not surpassed the toll that came to this individual that stood in the pulpit and preached the Gospel for years.

I truly don't read very many books, as if the time it takes to read them, I feel that that time could be spent on reading the King James Version Bible.

The reason that I stated the King James Version is as I have written before and in other documents in this website, that it is what I have always been able to draw from this well, the hope and the comfort that I had when this tribulation, or trial, that came my way in life.

Having experienced that, of leaving of my body, that is my soul and Sprit, the Hidden Inner man that the Apostle Paul talked about, knowing that while I am at home in this body, that I am absent from the Lord.

Truly I have felt that at times, " I would rather depart from this body" so that the place that my Spirit and Soul departed to, while the Surgeon was doing the repair on this body, for to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord.

This brings up the thought that as since then, I have shared my Testimonial with several, " ONE ON ONE" and having seen tears run down the cheeks of some, while others have listen with unbelief, it makes on to wonder sometime if anything that we do or say, if it makes any difference to some.

The unconcern from a lot of them, makes one think that what Jesus went through, and the Pain that I have gone through with this situation, the pain of the Surgeon taking the Knife, plunging it into my chest, to open me up the second time in just two weeks from the day, I was opened up and the pain was so great that I begged God to let me die.

Psalm 55:12-14 (KJV) For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

[13] But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and my acquaintance.

[14] We took sweet counsel together and walked unto the house of God in company.

This is what David is writing about, his Familiars, those that he had attended the house of god with, how that they were his worst enemies, just as those that Jesus went side by side into the house of God.

This is the worst part of any trial.

Just as Job, when he found himself in the heat of the battle with Satan, he had his familiars, even his helpmate wanted him to curse God and die...Job 2:9 (KJV) Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

In other words, you have had it, now just give in to the tribulation and get out of my way.

The grief must have been great as she stood by so helpless, watching Satan tear away everything that had been given by god, to come to naught.

I suppose this is to be expected, and his friends, if you could call them his friends, they were quick to point out that, " He Deserved what he was getting"

That god was getting even with him.

In some of the e-mails, and it don't take much wisdom to see when your friends fail to respond to what is supposed to be the reasonable thing for them to do.

It seems that, as one said, " don't ask how you are doing" for they will tell you how they are doing.

Not that I needed them for it was Christ that was there in the mist of my trial and took me into the bosom of the love of the father, placing me into that time where he could show me and allow me to hear the voices of those that have gone on to the other side to be with Jesus Christ.

I did not understand what the purpose of him was walking away, but I would assume that it was an Angel coming or being sent to me to take me into the streets of gold, and almost it was to be, but not at that time.

At that time, being around Five Hours on the Operating table, I was allowed to lay in, or bask in the love of God, in total Peace and Comfort.

I must have been made perfect, that is, not of myself and my doings, but that perfect love took me from my body and placed me in the perfect love of God.

There is no fear in death, and there is no sting in death, and there is no victory in the grave.

Can I remind you, that you will someway and someday, if the lord should tarry, come to the same place, where there will be either the Love of God surrounding you at that moment that you depart from this body, and whether you will or have choose to serve Jesus Christ will depend upon not what you have done, but that Jesus has chosen you to be part of what he is and where he is.

You cannot get there with all the things that you do, such as Tithing, which is good, or through the Law, or even being real good.

It will be that which you have chosen to accept, that is the Grace of God.

It is as if you have deposited in your bank account a Trillion Dollars, (Usually we say a Million, Inflation is on the rise this day and time) so now that amount is there but you will not go to the bank and withdraw any for you want to hold onto it and keep it for your own selfness reasons.

Not any good does it do you to have God, but never coming to God to receive.

I count it all Joy to be able to abound both in Trials and in good times, and don't need to be in a Trial to know that God is there with me.

For God has said.

Why is it that I said... " Why hast thou forsaken me God"?

Jesus said the same thing to his father, as he hangs in the middle of death as it seized upon his body...Matthew 27:46 (KJV) And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Take a good look at my body as it was hanging in the balances of life and death, and as they, at Vanderbilt said, " We Raised Him from the Dead"

Only Three of that type of situation has been known to them, of course there are those that had blood clots even large, but to travel up and lay at the top of the Lungs, it is not often that any would survive.

Two of us, did, the other died in Iraq, and the other one was over 30 inches long.

I am doing fine as far as the recovery, I walk my dog each day< O I could say that she walks me> but without her I would not walk as much and being that we walk down off of the mountain where I live and then climb back up, being 500 ft above the lake.

Not that we walk that far down, but about half of that distance down, and then back up.

I have overdone it and had to have my son walk my dog, for she demands that we go walking.

She is an Akita, a very lovable big bundle of, maybe sometime trouble, but most of the time she is a true companion.

But during this past 11 months, I have had only one man that said that he would help me if I needed him, other than that, one man came and did a hour or two of service, but most of all my wife and my son that lives with me, along with my Akita, have stuck by my side.

The other children have their lives and like man they just don't have time or cannot get away to be able to help out in this crisis.
