Krysti's Auto Accident - June 23, 2005 - God is Faithful!

On June 23, 2005 an auto accident nearly took my life, but God had other plans! GOD IS FAITHFUL TO PROTECT: Proverbs 18:10 "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe." God started protecting me and my family long before the accident took place. Not only were angels surrounding my driver's seat, but my 2 precious children (who were miraculously out of town) were spared certain death because their seats were in the mangled mess beneath the tow truck that hit me!!!I was air lifted to Atlanta Medical Center and immediately entered their trauma unit for surgery. My head had been cut from my right eyebrow, all the way up and over to the back of my head ... requiring sutures to my hairline and staples all the way back . My left earlobe had been severed apart and sewn back together, I had broken a rib, along with many lacerations, cuts and abrasions. After a couple of days passed while I was in ICU, an MRI was performed to determine the extent of the damage to my neck. Once my neck brace was removed, they found a massive wound area on the back of my neck due to imbedded glass. The only thing they could do was flush out the glass and let the horrific open wounds heal on their own. The MRI determined there was a severe rupture and fracture in my neck at discs C5-C7, which required surgery where metal plates and screws were placed. This may seem like a lot of injuries, but based on the accident scene, it appeared as though my head had been decapitated. Not only did God keep me alive, but there were no skull fractures, brain damage and it was a miracle I didn't lose my eye, given the metal missed it by a fraction of an inch. GOD IS FAITHFUL TO COMFORT: Psalm 23:4 "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." Through the continual prayers of countless numbers of family and friends, God comforted me during the months and years as I struggled to cope with my health, my inability to function as a mother and wife, financial difficulties, the horrific legal issues and so much more.GOD IS FAITHFUL TO HEAL: Psalm 30:2 "O Lord my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me." After 2 years and 4 months of doctor's visits, physical therapy and debilitating pain on a daily basis ... God miraculously healed me on October 24, 2007 through the power of my own prayer that took place between me and my daughter Julia!!!GOD IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL!!!

Juror: Hamdan Didn't Seem Like Al-Qaida Warrior
The Guantanamo trial of Osama bin Laden's former driver ended last week in a startling defeat for the prosecution. Salim Hamdan was acquitted of conspiring with al-Qaida to attack the United States, and his five-and-a-half year sentence was only a fraction of what the prosecution had requested.
