Welcome to the WSOMN Forum & Chat Site

The following is a personal story I feel compelled to write for reasons unknown to me at this time

My friends allow me to explain the reason and source of my positivity. As a young man sitting on a rough terrain forklift at the Bridge Ramp in Vietnam, I found my first our Lord God. I had received Christ just prior to my deployment. Suddenly, there was an explosion of a ship being loaded with munitions to be sent North up the River to our fighting forces in Chu Li. Chain reactions explosions started all over the Ramp.

I recall jumping from the forklift just as the blast wall hit where I was at. I was pushed back many yards from my previous position. Debris was flying past me so fast that it seemed like a blur. The mere sound of the explosion took my hearing away and Is I looked back toward the source of the explosion I could hear nothing but what I saw with my own eyes changed my life from that time forward.

Debris that should have hit me was being deflected to either side of me and over the spot where I lay frozen in fear. Coincidence you say?  Sixteen Sailors and Twenty-one Vietnamese workers souls left the earth that night and I was one of the only three survivors. There have been many other near death experiences since that time and each time I was spared. I know the Lord has a plan for my life and I believe this RV is a major part of it.
