How was it good?
I had a worldwide family of friends from the U.S. and European countries and from Australia and New Zealand that I often met with once a year for two weeks at a retreat in Mt. Shasta California for what was called the "Youth Conclave" which was a worldwide event that people came to the U.S. for in my church.
How was it bad?
It was bad in that it was my life and then at 21 it was gone from my life along with maybe 95% of the people I once knew. This was a difficult transition for me that I barely survived.
Surviving all this:
So, the hardest part was surviving from age 21 to 25 when I got married without taking my own life. But, once I succeeded in staying alive and getting married and having my children one by one along the way and starting businesses to support them by about age 32 I was very happy and stayed very happy until my father passed away when I was 37. Then I found it difficult but doable to stay alive from age 37 to 50 going through what they call "Middle aged Crazy".
This ended suddenly when I found myself dying of a heart virus. I was the only person I knew then that survived a heart virus then in California at that time by the way. So, I was a rarity then. One of the reasons I write in my blogs is that I write to give thanks to God for saving my life then which was one of many ongoing miracles in my life.
By giving thanks to God for life itself it has made my life amazing and full of Grace ever since I survived my heart virus in May of 1999 when the doctors told me that I wasn't going to die of it then.
By God's Grace
