Holy Spirit is showing me anything is possible when I walk with Him.
Hello world. The following was written 2/1/2015.
In 2004 I found myself in a living nightmare. I had wrecked my motorcycle breaking the left side of my body. I broke my left arm and leg. I spent two weeks in the hospital and around eight months at home bedridden. I then spent about a year and a half in an electric wheelchair. When I was laying in bed unable to move, wondering what it is I am supposed to do, to weak to open my meds., even with the pain making me wish I was dead.

I now had high blood pressure and diabetes. Because of the medications I could no longer go out into the sun. My bones had become so brittle that I was at risk of shattering something if I hit something the wrong way. I was on the fast tract to death with my doctors guiding the way.
