Have you ever wondered what happens when you take the challenge to run an alpine slide from top to bottom with no brakes in an attempt to set a new course record? Now consider that you have never run the course before and have no experience running / sliding down mountains on plastic lugeway 's or concrete. It hurts because sooner or later the unexpected happens the equipment is not right, the person riding the sled is oversized for the sled, the speed is too fast for the design of the lugeway banked curves and finally the brakes are applied from an outside unexpected source. Time between recognition of the impending disaster ( Stimulus) and the pause or space to plan for action is just to short for corrective action. The result of running the course full speed ahead without  regard to the early warnings signs surely presents the prospect of making the news highlights with the most spectacular crash ever recorded.

That was not my objective but I accomplished it non the less. My body was not prepared for the stress. I couldn't compensate for being oversized. My mind did not react to the warming signals ahead when my, so called safety boots, did not fit inside the luge cart. My conversations with the people around me prompted a constant one upmanship game, where anything you can do I can do better. That is not the best way to Take Action!  Everything about my spirit said don't do this. I ignored all the prompts, all the near misses followed by even greater warnings only to arrive at the point where my creator was in total control. My life was in his hands, beyond anything I could do and even with all my rejections of his calls to modify my actions, he saved me. God loved me so much that he allowed me a new live too show others what can be accomplished when you align  body, mind, heart and soul to accomplish His objectives not mine.

I now know what my purpose in life is to be! The question is have you reached the same point in your life? Do you see that our country is coming around the bend and facing a point of no return? Where if every thing we have been taught is simply ignored we as a nation will be just another black mark on the lugetrack of world history, a very big one as illustrated by the attached picture of going through the experience the only sign of my passing being the largest black-mark on the course. It was a great run and will forever be remembered by those who witnessed it but I did not let God have control even though He tried to get my attention many times and in many ways. My objectives were not His objectives for my trip.

Maybe those that follow and the nation will learn something from my experience. Life should be lived with expedient corrections  from Spiritual promptings to Take Action and thus avoid the crash coming around the next bend in the course of life. We all know that most of the people in Washington will have to be forced into action. We are not serious about correcting our nations debt problem. WE THE PEOPLE must force them to act before external forces take over.

Pictures of my crash will be available for your viewing pleasure later, after I figure out how to secure a copy. They have been the talk of the resort for days and I have yet to see them. Sure have meet a lot of people as a result of my infamy however.
