Hello Syndi,
I have to admit that I do not come from a religiuos family. I have pondered the writings of the Bible but never really studued them. I am a 62 year old grandfather from NY state in the USA. I have been married for38 years and have 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren. I became more active in my religiuos pursuits in the summer of 2006. I had 2 heart attacks in 3 days and only given hours to live. I woke up 13 days later. While unconcious I was led up a dusty road by 4 guardian angels, after a while I looked back and they had left me to join a large man with long hair sitting on a log facing away form me. When I woke up, one of the first things I asked for was my Bible. Whwn my wife brought it to me one of the first things I read was If you see my face you shall die, and that gave me a jolt. A few days later the nurse came in and told me I had visitors, I was four of the nurses that watched over me those many days in the ICU, need I say that they were my guardian angels. I now attend Living Tree Free Methodist Church in West Seneca NY, when my health allows. It has been a long cold winter here and I have not been able to attend. With Spring here and the weather getting warmer I am looking forward to going back.
Hope I didn't run on too long,
Jerry Lortz
