When Jim Gilman was young, he had rheumatic fever and the doctor told him he would never be healthy.
However, Jim broke his promise.
He chose to travel down a pathway of sin, but God never let him forget his prayer.
One night, while under the influence of liquor, Jim was in an automobile accident.
The doctors tried everything they could to restore him to consciousness with no success.
Then the people at his mother's church prayed.
When he regained consciousness, he promised to serve God if he would get him out of the hospital.
Later, as a logging truck driver, Jim had a truck loaded with logs get away from him.
It rolled over two and a half times into a canyon.
When the truck quit rolling, he was afraid to move for fear it would roll more.
Again, God spared his life and he climbed out of that accident with only a few scratches.
But still, he was not ready to give up his life of sin.
Over a year later, Jim stopped alongside the road to look at a wrecked car.
A woman was in the back seat calling for help and a man was dead under the steering wheel.
Jim said, right then it seemed God spoke out of heaven to me and said, you are going to be next.
I knew I was headed in the wrong way and I did not want to die in the condition I was in.
I told myself I would go to church the next Sunday, but I didn't.
What conviction settled on me that night? I couldn't sleep.
Finally, I phoned my parents, and they told me to come to their home.
They called the minister, and at an old Davenport, I knelt to pray.
I said, I don't know how to pray.
