PRAISE GOD WE'RE ALIVE!! 10:31am
THIS PAST WEEKEND WE WENT TO NORTH CAROLINA TO SING AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS AHEAD FOR ALL OF US. WE ALL WENT TO SLEEP SATURDAY NIGHT AND @4:00 IN THE MORNING MY DAUGHTER ALEXIS WOKE UP W/NAUSEA. SHE HAD TO THROW UP. SHE TRIED TO WAKE UP HER MOTHER WHO WOULDN'T WAKE UP AT FIRST--THEN SHE GOT UP AND PASSED OUT ON THE FLOOR!! I HEARD AMY ( ONE OF THE WIVES) SCREAM OUT "CYNDI HAS PASSED OUT". THAT WOKE ME UP OUT OF A DEAD SLEEP. I PANICKED--JUMPED OUT OF MY BUNK--AND PICKED CYNDI UP. WE WALKED DOWN THE AISLEWAY AND SHE PASSED OUT ON THE FLOOR AGAIN!! AT THIS POINT, I WAS REALLY SCARED!!! EVERYONE ON THE BUS STARTED COMPLAINING OF MASSIVE HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. WE GOT FRESH AIR AND AIRED OUT THE BUS AND WE ALL STARTED TO FEEL A LITTLE BETTER. AT ABOUT 9:00 AM. AN EMT FROM THE CHURCH LOOKED CYNDI OVER AND SAID SHE NEEDS TO GO TO EMERGENCY!! I MISSED MY CONCERT--WENT W/ CYNDI AND MY DAUGHTER ALEXIS TO ER AT THE HOSPITAL. AFTER TAKING EKG'S AND MANY LAB AND BLOOD TESTS W/ 100% PURE OXYGEN FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF, THE DOCTOR CONCLUDED THAT THEY HAD CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. LEVEL 15 IS DEATH!!! CYNDI , 5 HOURS LATER HAD A LEVEL 8.7--LEXIE WAS A 6.1--WE DIDN'T REALIZE HOW CLOSE TO DEATH WE ALL WERE!!!! THE DOCTOR STATED "YOUR FAMILY IS VERY BLESSED!! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN A NEWS HEADLINE IN TOMORROW MORNINGS PAPER. I SEE THIS SORT OF ENDING TO THIS STORY ALL THE TIME" LEXIE AND CYNDI AND I BEGAN TO WEEP. GOD'S HAND WAS ALL OVER US IN THAT ER. ROOM AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE. THAT NIGHT AT MY CONCERT, A FIREFIGHTER CAME UP TO ME AND SAID "DID YOU KNOW GARY THAT A LEVEL 15 IS DEATH IN THIS CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING SCENARIO" I SAID I WAS TOLD THAT. HE SAID "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND". IN ORDER FOR A PERSON TO PASS OUT, THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE AT A LEVEL 13!!!!!!" THAT IS HOW CLOSE TO DEATH THAT CYNDI AND LEXIE WERE!! IF LEXIE HAD NOT WOKEN UP TO THROW UP, WE WOULD ALL HAVE DIED IN OUR SLEEP OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.. I PRAISE THE LORD TODAY FOR SO MANY PEOPLE WHO WERE PRAYING FOR MY FAMILY AND THE GROUP!! THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT TRAGEDY IN MY LIFE--TO SAY THE LEAST!! THE BOOK OF JAMES SAYS "YOUR LIFE IS A VAPOR. HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW" WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY DAYS WE HAVE LEFT!! LOVE THOSE AROUND YOU TODAY. TELL THEM WHAT THEY MEAN TO YOU NOW!! DON'T WAIT!! GOD GAVE THE 9 OF US IN THE GROUP A SECOND CHANCE AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE. WE HAD AN AWESOME SERVICE LAST NIGHT!! MANY PEOPLE WERE HEALED AND SET FREE AT THE ALTAR. TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR THE GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE!!!! WE LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR PRAYERS. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!! REMEMBER---PLEASE READ PSALM 91--GOD PROTECTS HIS CHILDREN AND COVERS US!! MEDITATE ON IT!!!
I FEEL A BLESSING COMING ON!!!
GARY
