> I got into drinking causing trouble and being rebellious.
> Well one day I decided to get my ears pierced. So my sister-in-law

> I was at a point in my life where I was giving up on God. In fact I was

> for me. God did not give up on me when I was at my lowest point with him.
> I did not fill well. I remember sitting on the smoker's porch and I knew
> I would not be on this earth by Monday. I even mentioned it to a friend.
> This was Friday night. I did not know how I was going to die but I just
> knew I was going to. Saturday I felt not to well. I knew it was probably

> was trying to get me to get up and let me know nothing was going on. The
> grounds keeper came along and helped her walk me over to the health

> I was put to bed and a doctor was called I don't know or remember anything
> about that day. I did find out later that the doctor said I would not
> make it through the night and they had to Hurst on hold to pick up the

> It was about 11:oop.m. I was awake still kind of out of it but awake. I
> started hearing some choir music. I thought that the operator had left
> the intercom on. The nurse yelled down the hall for who ever have the
> radio on to turn it down. Well I noticed the music was coming from the
> corner of the room. I than realized it was the Heavenly choir, As soon as
> I realized this, the music engulfed me. I was more beautiful than any
> music on earth. I knew I was dying and started praying "God I know you
> must be real and if you are please forgive me of all my sins of swearing,
> drinking, hurting other and any I cannot think of. Please be with my
> family as they morn help them to be strong I don't want my Daddy to be so
> hurt that he dies and Sharon too. As soon as I prayed I was back in time.
> It was one day when I was 7 years old I was running through the house my
> mom told me to stop running. I did and looked up. I could see the love
> and concern in her eyes, something I could not se
> e alive. Than I was standing in front of a girl I went to elementary
> school with that I picked on and I could fill her hurt I had caused her.
> I than was in my big sisters car she was driving home. I told her I had
> to go and that I loved her and to take care of herself and stop doing
> foolish things. I was than in my Dad's living room. I could see my Dad
> was lying on the couch crying and my big brother was knelling next to him
> telling him not to cry and that it would be ok. They probably don't know
> what they are talking about. I told them not to worry I was ok and that
> they would be ok. Than I was in Germany in a little apartment my brother
> and sister in-law was there. Darryl was reading a book. I said hay
> Darryl I got to go now but you will be ok I will see you guys later. Next
> I found myself in my room at school Sharon and Brenda were crying I said,
> "What are you guys crying about?" I am ok you guys stop crying and have
> fun not sit around crying. Next I found myself fl
> oating above the health center. I could see the building outline and the

> everything was and why it was, every little molecule was for and why. I
> looked down and there was this opening where people were screaming and
> yelling trying to get out. I recognized a man and felt grief and asked
> why he is there and Peter said he was a bad man. I thought not him he
> used to help our family out. Than I was taken to another place, that was
> filled with an over whelming peace and knowing. I could not see, smile,
> hear, touch or fill but I knew everything. Than I turned around and saw
