I'm a 46 yo male married for 25 years w/2 girls 19 & 21 yo who's married and making us grandparents for the 1st time tomorrow when she's induced. I've been a born again Christian since the age of 14 with many bumps,twist and turns along the way. Up until last spring I was the owner of 2 Jeeps a '79 CJ-7 frame off restoration to like new condition & a 1968 Willy's Rock Crawler with a ton of goodies. Long story short August 14, 1999 I was the victim of a high speed rear end collision and 7 surgeries,multiple titanium rods,screws,plates,replacement disc and fusions later my broken neck and mangled back are as healed as they are going to get. Due to 1 million dollars plus in med bills,the loss of my business of 17 years (after $160,000 in losses over 5 years due to my absence) I've sold everything and the final blow of selling the home we built ourselves,intending to reside here until the rapture or our deaths otherwise,is on the market in order for us to downsize since I'm now 100% disabled and will never work again unless the Lord chooses to heal me. I have not lost my hope that some day,some how I will be crawling the rocks again only this time in an XJ for comfort. Nice to meet you guys and I'll add my sister and her family live in Bristol/Abingdon. God is in CONTROL! :grin:
