After graduating EHS, I moved back to Il and worked for a warehouse company to save enough money and move to Ca. I started doing some odd jobs in Sacramento, Walnut Creek, and Fremont until I resided in Bakersfield. Started working with the Bakersfield City School District then switched to the medical field. That was the turning point that changed my life! Fitness was my number one priority and I never thought what was about to occur would ever happen to me. It was a typical Friday evening. Me and a group of friends from church would play softball from other churches in town for some fun and fellowship. It was only the 3rd inning and I was playing 3rd base. The batter hit a ground ball comming right toward me when all of a sudden I couldn't move my body to catch the ball! Then I looked at my friend at 2nd base and I couldn't talk! So everybody stopped the game and ran to help. Since I was not communicating, they walked me to the shade thinking I might have been having a heat stroke. It was June 20th 1994 and it's not uncommon to be 100 degrees in the valley. Anyway, I was thinking to myself, I'll go see a Doctor and he will give me a perscription and I'll go to work on Monday never realizing that I was dying! It was an AVM which basically is like a blood vessel that had burst in my brain. By the time the ambulance arrived I was in and out of consciousness. By the time the surgeon found where the bleeding was, he said to my friends that I wasn't going to make it. To make a long story short, I survived but there was some permanent damage. I am partially blind, had seizures for 12 years but haven't had one in over 13 years! Short term memory was difficult such as names and numbers but as you get older, everyone starts losing it themselves. The point of all this is I was blessed to have a second chance of life. The things I was driven was just the passing pleasures of things that will never provide lasting contentment. Even my Christian walk was nothing more than external religion. Yea, I'm certain I was saved at my lowest point in life but it can be such a subtle thing to drift from our purpose and calling. All of us only have a certain amount of days on this earth and only one choice that is going to matter in the end. So whether it's the latest virus or cancer or just old age, what are you going to do about it? If you have never heard of the full Gospel or have questions, you can find me at https://www.facebook.com/john.stangland.5 Do not let a day go by without responding to the Gospel. Thank you for reading and my prayers are with you!
