Surviving

 Most people might see surviving as one thing but for me survival is mostly about a relationship with God and Angels.

When you have this type of relationship with God and Angels you tend to live a long life. I cannot speak for another path. I just know my path might be very long even though I'm presently 77 years old.

They say if you live to be 30 you likely will see 90. I think this century for many people it will be: "If you live to see 30 you will see 100. Not everyone. But, likely more educated people who aren't usually so at war with themselves from bad childhood programming will see this manifest in their lives.

However, after 40 or 50 it is really important for almost everyone to have health insurance so they are fully covered and all the members of their families are fully covered too.

Otherwise whatever happens health wise could easily bankrupt you or make you homeless. So, finding a way to have good health care after 40 or 50 years old is really one of the main keys to longevity.

My father and his father didn't believe in Doctors since around 1900 (my grandfather was born in the late 1870s and his father had been a captain for the northern Army in the civil War from 1860 to 1865 out of Kansas.

So, I have interesting stories about my grandfather after having been crushed under his D-9 bulldozer by tightening up his drag line on a boulder and stump too tight and turning bulldozer upside down upon him with hot engine water and oil coming down on him for a few days so he had a collapsed lung.

So, he got someone to smuggle in a carton of Camel Cigarettes and said to people he was going to reinflate his lungs with these very strong cigarettes which he did.

Then he had someone smuggle into the hospital his pistol and got up and walked out of there. This really happened near Elk City at the nearest hospital likely in the 1960s.

So, at 44 I didn't have health insurance and had what they called a panic attack mimicking a heart attack where I couldn't walk or talk for about an hour. So, I crawled into the bathroom where we had a big clawfoot bathtub which I crawled into so I might not die and filled it with warm water. My 4 years old daughter comforted me with words then before i could get my wife then after an hour to two to take me to the nearest hospital. by then I could begin to talk and walk again and not be shaking. However, I realized then there actually was something wrong with my heart and tried to find a Heart Specialist without Health insurance. NOPE! it wasn't going to happen.

And I thought to myself: "Am I going to die because I don't have health insurance? This is a likely outcome for most people in the U.S. in my predicament then.

So, by 45 or 46 I found a way to pay for full health insurance so when I got a heart virus in 1998 that everyone else that I knew of with one like this died in California in 1998 and 1999 I had health insurance and this helped save my life between 1998 and 1999 even though I was forced to retire or die then starting in fall of 1998.

Luckily, God provided for my financial well being somehow so I'm still okay today all these years later in 2025.

However, it is also true that I prayed for the Leisure to Practice (which means time to pray) basically which I was given through almost dying by God.

So, when you ask God for something "the Lord Moves in mysterious ways!"
