I was sitting waiting for an angiogram at Stanford Hospital near Stanford University with about 60 other people waiting for heart operations today. There was a feeling of fear in the air there of people wondering whether they would be alive much longer or what to expect from their operation that day. I realized how stupid I had been not to publish online or anything else and what a waste all my writings would be if I died then. This was in Fall of 1998, 22 years ago. So, I vowed to God that if I survived that day and my heart virus (no one knew what was wrong with me yet until May of 1999 when through the process of elimination they realized I had had a heart virus. The doctor said in May 1999, "You know you are really lucky because almost everyone with a heart virus dies before it even is diagnosed!"
So, you can see why I wanted to write to thank God for the miracle of my still being alive then and now.
By God's Grace
