I remember the ladder going out from underneath me and the thud of my head landing on the frozen ground.

Pastor's wife came when she heard the noise of ladder crashing and after I asked her about 7 times what I was doing on the roof she called Pastor who took me to hospital.

I could not remember what else I had done today and was shocked that it was 3 PM

X Rays showed no broken bones, although I am quite sore tonite. My shin, knee and shoulder took most of the brunt.

A cat scan of my head found nothing...er should I rephrase that.

My memory is coming back. They say that is what a concussion does.


A few inches the other way, my head would have crashed onto the AC unit or the concrete pad it sets on.

Somewhere in America today, I'd imagine, someone fell off a ladder and did not get to go home to their family. Their life ended.

I am glad to be alive today. I don't remember everytrhing yet, but I'm pretty sure my last words on the ride down was, Oh God !

Makes ya appreciate life a little more somehow. Thanks be to God, who always cause us to triumph.

Thank You, Great God, for sparing Bro. FreeAtLast's life and though it

was bad enough, it could have been a whole lot worse! Lord Jesus,

although You have many children, still you have every one of them in

Your sight at all times. Also every little sparrow that falls, you are

aware of that one! You are so Wonderful! I love You so much!!
