"I need your help - please pray for me"
John and Doves, I ask for your prayers for
what has turned out to be an attack of almost unbelievable proportions
on me and my worldly possessions. I note worldly because there is
only one ultimate goal for the Remnant.
I have not written in to the Doves area much, but have mostly enjoyed
reading posts from others. But at this time I ask for prayer,
please.
I am a retired engineer (disability from CFIDS, symptoms similar to Gulf
War Syndrome). The primary symptoms, although the total symptom
list is quite long, are moderate to severe muscle pain and extreme
fatigue which varies in intensity. I contracted what was the
beginning of this precisely on October 31, 1984; so I have been in pain
for about 27 years. I tried to work as long as I could, but the
stress of my mother's CHF and subsequent passing in 93-94 rather
stressed me to the point of having to ask for a civil service disability
retirement. These are surprisingly hard to get, and, to this day,
I am not being compensated the proper amount for retirement.
But today I come to you for an attack, as I noted. I will greatly condense the events...
I have a long history of being a good driver, both 2-wheel and 4-wheel
off-road, and have been a community volunteer involving underground
rescue, high angle rescue, lost children (and adult) searches, tornado
victim searches, driving medical personnel through snowstorms and
icestorms to get them to work, etc, etc. Within the last week,
however an unbelievable sequence of events has occurred:
-- I live in Huntsville, Alabama, and tried to go north into Tennessee
on June 23, to visit a friend, but couldn't get through to them, nor did
I have their address. I them drove a little farther north to see
if I could get into a late Grand Ole Opry showing of some kind, but was
too late. I then proceeded to try to drive back home, which was
south.
-- I somehow got on a wrong road that slowly meandered to the west and,
though I didn't realize it, I ended up in a part of Florence, Alabama.
-- I was trying to figure out where I was, and now to get back.
This was one of the blackest nights I can remember, but I could see a
little. An unusual scarcity of *any* kind of street signs seemed
downright odd.
-- Well, as I was driving along, I came over a rise, in front of me, in
the dark, on a dark road, was a dark grey car, parked on the side. It
was one of these new "tanks" that to me look like something from the
30's. I slammed on the breaks, but neither the ABS worked nor did
the tires grip; it was as if I was on ice. I hit the car and knew I
was hurt. There was another identical car parked in front of this
one. I didn't really know the street, but it seemed to be a
thoroughfare, where cars wouldn't normally have been parked. I was
hoping someone would come out of one of the two old, small houses
(maybe $10K each, with two ~$50,000+ automobiles in front). Seemed
kind of strange; but I sat, in great pain, hoping someone would come
out and would call 911. Noone did. But I got the car door
open and crawled across the street to the grass, where, praise God, I
located a cell phone in my pocket and somehow communicated that I had
been in an accident and needed help. Communications were
surprisingly difficult with the 911 operator. The next happenings
are a blur, but I remember going to a hospital, and being checked, and
almost literally pushed out the door. I had no car, was a ways
from Huntsville, and finally rented a car.
-- Tried driving home, but ran into *incredible* rain and large hail that lasted and lasted, stopped and started repeatedly.
-- As I was nearing Huntsville (finally) I saw blue lights in the mirror
of the rental car. Long story short, he gave me a ticket; said I
was going 25 miles over the limit. I told the Alabama State
Trooper (*very* rude to me) that last time I drove any of this road, the
speed limit was 65 (He said I was going 70). He said no, and I was
going 70 in a 45. Through the hail, noone could have seen the side
of the road, and I don't know when I went through there, but I, and
everyone else, were certainly going slower in the rain and hail.
He said no 65 limit, and was unbelievably rude. I went back and
looked after he drove off -- 65 limit signs in multiple places.
-- What else could happen? Well, it did!
-- As I was going through an area not very well-maintained road-wise, I
dropped the right front tire into a mud area, and the car *literally*
acted as if it was under someone else's control. Like I said, I am
an experienced driver, and can drive backwards forwards, spin, or
whatever is required. But this time it was like I was being driven
by another force. I could not get the car stopped, and needed to
get to some level road to slow it down. But when I hit the
asphault, the Hyundai immediately violently oversteered and turned
backwards. I tried to get it under some kind of control, and
considering the traffic was bumper to bumper I *only* managed to strike
(rather lightly) two other cars. Most damage was to rental car,
which I supposedly had bought the extra insurance for, but officer still
said I was driving without insurance, which is a law in Alabama.
The insurance was right on the rental car form! At the previous
wreck, although I had current insurance on all my vehicles (only the now
totaled one had been driveable), somehow the newest updated insurance
card from State Farm was gone from my wallet. Only the outdated one was
there. How? I don't know. I was taken now to
Huntsville hospital, which left my ID/driver's license at the scene, and
I have no idea where it is now. I went home by taxi, athough I
have to be very careful even of that at this time. When I got
home, the nice Christian (praise the Lord) cab driver kicked down my
front door, so I could get in my house, since my keys were in the car at
the salvage yard in Florence. Now, I need new door and
locks. Funds are low.
People, I am hurt. I have no way to get around. Satanists
are all around me, (for miles) if anyone recalls my previous
posts. And I have three (3) court dates I can't get to, with one
in Florence; as well as having to file some forms I know nothing about,
and have no way to go get, and have to contact whoever needs the proof
(I don't know who to contact) that my insurance really was/is current.
Before all this, vandalism was occurring regularly in my yard.
Someone even stole the left front tire (an expensive sports tire) off my
91 T-Bird SC (the one totalled in the first wreck), and replaced it
with another. I now suspect that someone might have *needed* my
tire for some sort of ceremony. :( But I realize some things are
hard to believe if one hasn't witnessed them personally. I ask
that you pray for confirmation of my story, that it be Truth. I am
very familiar with 1 John 4:4, and I believe it, for sure; but it seems
the Enemy has gone to great extremes to take me out this time. I don't
mention here the clear previous attempts on my life.
And people, I *really* need prayer. Please pray that somehow
things will be all right. I am hurting bad, have a chronic pain
disease, and don't know what to do. I have no way to get food or
anything else; and I don't know how to get a new license. I am not
suicidal, but I wish the Lord would take me home; I do so hope I am
ready to go.
Please help me!
