Have you had a near death experience? I almost drowned while white water rafting in Costa Rica. It was so scary. I don't know how I got out of the situation. Somehow, I got the strength and got out from under the current. What about you?

When I was 14 I was taking a short cut near a noisy sawmill. I didn't see the water because it was covered with sawdust and small blocks of wood. I fell in and didn't know anything about swimming or floating, so I hollered,but no-one was hearing me. After thrashing about for minutes[but it felt much longer] a peace came over me and also a clear idea on how to get out. I simply relaxed and started shoving the small blocks of wood under my body and I slowly made it to solid ground. I ran to my mom and cried in her arms. I think this was my first experience with angels. I'll never forget it! Take care Rachelcaron

It is amazing the strength that we have when we really need it. We get the adrenaline moving and we can do wonderful things. I have had several times once a car accident and once in the military but it all worked out all right
