Lance's story reminded me that on April 24th of 2006 on a beautiful Spring morning I was in a pretty serious car accident. i accidentally ran a stop sign, realized it at the last second, and swerved to avoid an accident aith a car coming the other way thru the intersection. He clipped my back end and my SUV went up onto the two wheels on the drivers side. I couldn't get the other wheels back to the ground before the car rolled over onto the driver's side, slid about 30 feet and then flipped onto the roof before sliding another 50 feet.i was hanging upside down by the seatbelt but couldn't get it unsnapped. i was on a side street in a neighborhood and yelled for help. A guy i actuall knew was working on a road crew where it happened and came running and said, "Is that you Mike?". he and another guy kind of lifted me up, i unsnapped the seatbelt, and crawled out thru the demolished and now very small window. The car was totalled.Only mark on me was a small chemical burn on my bicep from where the airbag hit me. The paramedics were shocked that i wasn't hurt.My pride was more hurt the next day when the photo of my demolished SUV, lying on it's roo,f appeared in the local paper with my name under the photo.

Yeah.... you and I better never go out for a drive together.
Still waiting on the Miracle Whip!
We hear about miracles all the time but have you ever had a miracle happen in your life? I'll start:My son Kody is 11 years old now and just a regular boy. He was born with no problems and the first eight months of his life were as normal as could be. But at 8 months he started having seizures. He was diagnosed with a fairly rare condition called Infantile Spasms. The doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md. diagnosed him and told us that his seizures would get worse and that he would begin to lose physical and mental capabilities. In a relatively short time he would wind up in a wheel chair and spend his life there with little quality of life.The diagnosis for 90% of kids with this condition was bleak. We were devastated.Time went by and the seizures continued relentlessly for five years..... up to 24 seizures a day. But Kody never slid back physically or mentally. About a year into the whole thing i asked one of Kody's doctors why he hadn't wound up in that wheelchair and why he was "normal". The doctor looked me squarely in the eye and said, "I will not question a miracle..... you and your family have been blessed by one".The seizures stopped just over six years ago and Kode-Man has some mild learning disabilities but he is no doubt our Miracle.
