Can't compete with that DanB,..been too many time's when I was close to death and he saved my arse,..why? I haven't a clue,.truely a comforting feeling when your world seems like it is about to end when the precusion of an explosion goes off at your feet and knocks the wind right out of you ,. a calmness overwhelms you, and you just know your going to be OK, I just have the scars now to remind me of the many times he has saved me.
flying 2 feet off the water racing a boat is just one of the gift's I take advatantage of,..that I could not have done if it werent for Jesus Christ. no I'm not a holy roller,..I'm just a believer so if he want's to walk on water ,..I say let him ,..I'm a fan
