E-Flash From Dan, May 23, 2013


Dear E-Flash Friends;

Imagine that someone pointed a gun at you and pulled the trigger, but you moved just as the gun fired.  Then, amazingly, the bullet from the gun missed hitting you by several inches.  That’s a literal description of the phrase, “dodging a bullet.”

If, on the other hand, you were walking, jogging, doing pushups, going to work every day and otherwise fully engaging in life, while experiencing 99 percent blockage of the left anterior descending artery (sometimes referred to as the “widow maker”).  And then you went into the hospital and the blockage was discovered and successfully treated, that would be a figurative description of the phrase, “dodging a bullet.”

The second scenario—figuratively dodging a bullet—is what happened to me this week.

I thank God that He is merciful and this incredibly dangerous arterial blockage was discovered and treated.  Today, when I say, “I am blessed to be alive.” I say it with a newly acquired perspective and a heightened level of awareness.

I am home and resting comfortably.

Thank you all for your prayers.  I appreciate your love and support more than words could ever express.

Love and blessings,

Dan


P.S.  I am blessed to have a wonderful, helpful, loving, caring wife!
