Truly Crossing Over

From birth brought up in an Appalachian mountain church
Chose to follow Christ in late teens
- Sinned, (done something ugly or against God's teaching's) every day of my life since
Baptized in Cosby Creek in late teens. Cosby Creek is in the Smokey Mountains between Newport TN and Gatlinburg TN
Grew up on a farm, healthy, worked out, weight in check, active, thought I was eating properly, then diabetes
July 14, 1997, Age 38, while traveling, chest pain, taken to a hospital in Georgia and placed in what was supposed to be a heart wing for observation and an early morning cardiac cath.
- Complete Details will be added in another link
The staff in that "heart wing" did everything they could possibly do wrong. I was flatlined.
Flatlined for +/- 20 minutes, the more I can find out, thenmore it appears to have been 30 minutes to an hour. While laying flatlined on a gurney and now on another floor, with NO hospital equipment around, my body jump started. I was frozen to the bone and shaking all over the bed screaming for blankets, and in detail, telling the doctors running out from their CCU, of the arguments over procedure between the staff members upstairs while I was flatlined. That upstairs staff just stood there with their mouth open in disbelief.
It is the other thing that went on during this time that is important.
- Many may scoff, especially our educated pastors. (There is a big difference between a pastor who elected his profession and has been "educated in theology" verses a pastor that is truly called of God, educated in Theology, and influenced by the Holy Spirit, or simply influenced by the Holy Spirit)
- There is definitely another side beyond our material realm
- There is definitely a good and a bad
- There is definitely a battle for your soul
- You do answer for every second of your life
- If you have TRULY accepted Christ in Heart you are forgiven, but everything is not as is "officially interpreted" from today's versions of the Bible. Plus, remember, many will say Lord, Lord, but Christ will say, go away, I never knew you.
- Belief must be through Faith
- If you have accepted Christ you are forgiven and on the way to Heaven instead of Hell, and I am very thankful
- I am at a loss of words to really explain, but, you still have to review your life. It is not pleasant.
- And, there was a battle that went on for my soul between my winning heavenly angels and those of the tossed angel.
- Why I was allowed to stay or come back here is unknown to me
- What is definite is that absolutely nothing material of this world matters. Yes, we need food and shelter, but I cannot express strongly enough that absolutely nothing we know as material exist in this next and eternal life. Just Love.
6 months after the heart attacks and flatline :
- 4X bypass
- Wonderful wife forced from a 25 year executive carrier at ING to permanent LTD and a serious lifestyle change
- I managed to keep these phones on, the web site up, and the doors open. We have eaten a lot of chicken feathers.
I am not a fanatic and am far from perfect
I understand the difference between material that will go away and my soul.
My soul is more important to me than your opinion, nationality, race, religious beliefs, or heritage.
Most really appreciate the Bible verse, Really. We get many encouraging comments as well as the very occasional complaint, usually from someone under conviction.
We are strong enough to take a stand and make a difference.
So that everyone understands: We want and need your business, but the Bible verse on the web site stays.
- You could say that we gladly supply product and service to you without regard to race, religion, sex, or opinion.
I really appreciate the documentaries on the International History Channel, NGC, Green Channel, and others on articles like; Ancient Aliens, The Ten Lost Books of the Bible, Books Banned from the Bible, God and Satan, and others. Every day I process a little more of what I saw on the other side. These programs have aired much later than what happened to me but they have more effect and are much more in line with what I saw and have helped me understand much more than a complete life active in Church and several completed readings of the Bible in my life.
- For Example, The Book of Mary speaks of our Journey. When I heard this I sat up and paid more attention because it was so much in line with what I experienced.
- Ancient Aliens Series; Much of what I saw I do not discuss with anyone because of the absolute inability and unwillingness of others to understand or believe what I am talking about.
- A lady from California came into my business in 2010 with other people. She looked at me and said, I know you, I know your face. She gave me the date and time and what we were doing and where we were. The people she was with were drop mouthed. With my wife walking over and grabbing my arm I spoke and advise her that at that exact time, with no medical equipment around me, I was laying dead and covered on a gurney in a hospital in Georgia. She said, I also was dead and went on to tell her story.
- At NAB 2007 I had a photojournalist from California come by my booth to thank me for these pages and to let me know that he understood and that I was not alone. Reading these pages and some of my other articles had been a great help to him. He had been in a high voltage area and was hit with over 480 Volts. He had laid dead for an extended period before being found.

Sincerely,

If you are placing your eternity in the hands of a power and money hungry preacher or pastor you alone are to blame. Wake up and start asking questions! I will tell you this, salvation is through a life changing experience through the heart and MUST include Jesus Christ in one of his many names. When I was across I was shown both sides and recognized some in what we reference as the journey to Hell. I was asked to do something for them and I referenced Lazarus and the words of Christ when he told the rich ruler, If they will not hear my prophets they will not hear you. My path was the better journey but I was sent back. To date I do not see that I have been a positive asset to the Kingdom and do not understand why I was allowed to come back. I have so much to explain to those contemplating suicide over a girl / boyfriend or mate or finances. You are worth so much more and God has a plan for you. You may not be the President answering to the 2% but your path can be better. Consider being a pawn on God's Chessboard. The 2% cannot compete with that.
