My Uncle Gary and I talked today about perspective, seeing points of view, and he gave me the best review of my book so far. Read the lyrics of this song and take it from my point of view... not Bono. I was supposed to be dead in July, 1992 as a pedistrian in a head-on collision with a van traveling at 60 miles per hour. I flew 30 yards and traveled another 10 yards on the road... had the road rash to prove it. The first police officer (Officer Gazio of the MS state Troopers) on the scene didn't bother to take my pulse because I was covered in blood from head to toe literally because my shoes were blown off of me in the crash in which one landed in the road... side story later.... he thought I was dead. I lived... by the grace of something bigger than I. Coma... brain swelling.... I woke looking at my Dad who was by my side. The doctors kept feeling my body and talking about x-rays. Why? Nobody gets hit by a van head on at 60 mph and survives... let alone survive with no broken bones. Folks... I've been hit by every con-man but I can't explain why I'm alive today. Losing my right arm for life is a very good trade. I feel it all happened because I made a promise to God and broke it....no, I was just stupid and I'm here to be a messenger in written word. What was I doing that night? Trying to cross the street to get to a phone so I could call my Sister to take me home. All fact... no bullshit, Gordon
The archangel Michael First we have Michael, a name meaning “Who Is Like God.” He is referred to in Daniel 10:13 as “one of the chief princes”-that is, one of the leading rulers in the angelic realm. He is further called, in Daniel 12:1, “the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your [that is, Daniel’s] people”-the Jewish people and, more broadly, all of Israel. All who believe. The title of chief prince finds a parallel in the New Testament. We read in Jude 1:9, “Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, ‘The Lord rebuke you!’” (Because Satan still holds a temporary position of rulership over the world by God’s allowance, it would have been inappropriate for Michael to revile him.) Gabby? A silly boy at best... loved by Post office workers... carries no sword. Gordon
