Five years ago today [April 23, 97, Almighty God elected to spare my life by allowin the heart bypass surgery to be successful. Five hours on the "table" and six grafts later--I ended my first day of the rest of my life at St. Johns in Springfield, IL. Heart disease was to return with two arteries blocked. All that was changed again when He gave me another chance on Jan. 12, 02. Healed of colon cancer, heart disease, diabetes and arthritus. I'm still shoutin and praisin His name. Maybe this time I'll get it right! Glory to God! old hoot. Matt.24:44
