Funny you ask about the leg. This Friday May 18th when I down there will be the 10 Year Anny. of the Hit and Run Crash that took my leg.

I was riding my 1996 Harley Fatboy back to my house from my brother's at 10:30 on a Sunday night when I was side swiped on my right side. I tried to get the bike back in my lane but I hit the median stripe and a 4x4 post dead on. The bike and I flipped and I had already ground my right foot. After I landed I looked like a fricking yard sale with bike and me peices everywhere. I was awake and looked up and saw the 2 red tail lights leave me to die.

I knew I was hurt bad but I didn't know how bad. I stung and was bleeding from many places and my head was ringing like a fire alarm. My brother got to the scene about the time they were loading me on the Helocopter. I said "tell folks I'm ok I just broke my foot and got some cuts". I remember x-rays and all kins of crap and then back in the ER I noticed my family looking at me like I was dead or dieing. That's when it hit me "Oh man I must be really fucked up".

Next thing I remember is it's morning and seeing my "now" wife Michele beside me. Then I saw my Daddy who raised me a Christian and he had a Bible. I closed my eyes and made a prayer to God. "God, I don't see any good in me and lossing this foot. I don't see your Will in this but, I beleieve in You and trust in Your Will. I'll take this if you give me the strength".

I never complained or asked why me and folks were amazed at not only did I live through what the Police Report said was a fatal crash I survived but I had a great smile and attitude. It wasn't me it for God's help and love.

People asked me if I had "seen the great white light?" and my answer is no. I saw Jesus and I was standing there all wrecked up and He said "What have you done?". I knew He knew all about the crash and was asking me what had I done for Him. I had no answer and was shamed but with kind words He encouraged me to "Get busy". That recolection could have been real, it could have been my imagination or heck the morphine but God got His message to me loud and clear.

I have learned Volumes about myself and my strength and resolve and faith. If God came down and offered to give my foot back after 10 years but would take back this knowlege I would say no. Having said that if 10 years ago he said He would teach me great things at the cost of my foot I'm not sure I would make that deal either.lol Good thing His Will Reigns.

That my story and testimony
Thanks for asking bro
peace
