How and Why I started my first blog at geocities.com in June of 1999

In Fall of 1998 one day I woke up and I realized my lips were blue and I was having trouble walking to the bathroom to even see my lips were blue. Though Angels appeared to me then I believed I was dying after I went into the bathroom so I sat down on the couch preparing to die. However, this was not to be.

The White Light Angels surrounded me and said in unison to me over and over again: "You are not going to die! Your life will get better now!" They said this over and over to me until EVERY cell in my body believed the angels. However, I'm just a human being and it was very hard to believe everything that was happening. Since my father had died in 1985 in an ambulance on the way to a Hospital in the Southern California deserts I knew riding in an ambulance likely would take my life because of this. So, I called up my son to come pick me up and stood outside and told a neighbor that I was having serious health problem and to watch me until my son arrived a few minutes later. At the hospital I told the emergency doctor and nurses that the angels had come for me. They said many people in near death experiences see and hear angels and this is a common experience when people are near death often like it was for me.

Later I went to Stanford University Hospital because this was the best care for someone in my condition. However, Doctors still had no idea what was wrong with my heart and didn't until 9 months later. I had an angiogram and electric shock therapy by the world expert in electrical stimulation of the heart at Stanford at that time. Since then I think he retired and taught many other doctors his system of treatment.

While I was waiting on a guerney for my angiogram and heart stimulation therapies I looked around me at all the other people who thought they might die today who were having open heart surgeries and many other heart procedures. There was a feeling of death or near death in the air among the 60 or so people waiting to be treated there at that time for various kinds of heart procedures and operations.

It was at this time that I prayed to God and I told God that I would start a Blog if I survived all this long term. I told God that I was sorry I hadn't shared all the blessings that he and the angels had brought through me to mankind all my life through my writings before this.

I felt really stupid that I hadn't realized before this that God came through me for a reason and being afraid of the reactions of people to my God Given and Angelic experiences did not honor God who has saved my life over and over again since I had whooping Cough at age 2.

My whole life has Been a state of Grace in the heart of God. This is how I always see my life. An Eternal State of Grace in the heart of God with angels always surrounding me and teaching me what to do next in life.

After I vowed to God to start a Blog online to tell of my amazing experiences with God and Angels the feeling of everything changed and almost any good thing became possible for me in my life.

Though I was forced to retire at age 50 in the fall of 1998 I was amazed I could afford to retire and that my wife also was helping me also survive all this in every way. 

At the time basically I refused to die and leave my 2 1/2 year old daughter and my 10 year old daughter fatherless. I knew they both needed me to grow up right so I refused to die. There is a lot of strength and will in my family.

So, every time I passed out from not enough oxygen from my heart I refused to panic which I knew would kill me the way it does most people with a Heart Virus. However, in the fall of 1998 at Stanford no one knew what was wrong with my heart no matter what they did to try to diagnose it.

Finally in May of 1999 my heart specialist told me that only through the process of elimination did they realize finally that I had had a heart virus. And they said I was amazingly lucky because usually this cannot even be diagnosed except in a post mortem autopsy at that time (1998 and 1999) and the majority of people die within a few months of a heart virus.

Everyone has a 1 in 1000 chance of getting a heart virus every time they get their teeth cleaned. What happens is a little bit of food from their mouths gets in the blood stream accidentally and then often the patient will be dead within a few months to a year. But, if you live 9 months or longer like I did your heart might recover and you might live IF YOU DON'T PANIC WHEN YOU PASS OUT!

SO, AS I PROMISED GOD I STARTED MY FIRST BLOG AT GEOCITIES.COM IN JUNE OF 1999.

BY GOD'S GRACE

However then you had to program the whole thing in HTML yourself. However, I had been learning computer languages since Fortran and Cobol in 1966 in College and then I learned Basic and taught my kids Basic and MS-Dos (MS-Dos) is an operating system but almost more like a programming language the way it was set up then before Windows 95.

So, this is how and why I started blogging, to praise and to honor God and the Angels for saving my life when everyone else I knew of then with a heart virus died in California then. I didn't know of even 1 person who survived what I had that year.

By God's Grace I survived!
