longer than a laundry list. He proceeded to tell me that I had been in an automobile wreck and that I had gone through the windshield. He then told me that my left eye and eye lid had been ripped completely out, I had a cut that went across my nose to my right ear, the cheek bone from my temple down to my jaw and from my right ear to my nose was shattered and had been pushed up into my right eye and had destroyed my optic nerve. I then asked him if he was telling me that I was going to be blind for the rest of my life. He said, "Yes, I am sorry." I told him it was not his fault and I knew he had done all he could. I was just glad that God had given me a second chance. Little did I know at the time it was a second chance for eternal life. That was my life and I would have to take it and do the best that I could with it. Seven days later on April 26th I walked out of that hospital on my own two feet and started on my journey back home and to Christ. That was 30 years ago. Since then I have met and married my beautiful Christian wife, Melba, and we have been married for 28 years this past September 2nd. I met my wife, Melba, on a blind date, and we've been together ever since. LOL. I was blind for 5 years before I realized that I was lost and gave my life to Jesus Christ. It took me losing my sight to be able to see what life is really all about. Between us we have 6 children and 12 grand children and two great grand children. I love to deer hunt so I get my hunting partners up in my 21 ft hydraulic deer stand. I have a captive audience, because I am between them and the door. They can't go anywhere so I witness to them about Jesus Christ. I also have 4 businesses that I either own or I am a partner with. One is a charter boat and another is a fish bait product. You can check them out at: http://catfishreapercharters.com and one is a fit tone and trim program http://msh.myitworks.com and the other is an online grocery store, where you can order your organic groceries and have them delivered to your front door. This one has a fundraiser built in it for your church or youth. You can check it out at: http://grocerytrain.com/msh To become an associate or a customer: http://morningfreshmarket.com/msh . This is only part of my story that I can tell in these short pages.
