The Miracle Man

This week my good friend Jamie Chaisson returned to work. Jamie is our Grounds Keeper and one of the best guys you'll ever meet! Several months ago he was trimming some limbs and one limb swept the ladder he was standing on out from under him and he fell fifteen feet, landing on the concrete curb with his head, fracturing his skull, crushing the bones in the left side of his face, breaking three ribs, collapsing both lungs, lacerating one of his kidneys and herniating two disks in his lower back. The fall left him in a coma for five days with bleeding on the brain. He was in ICU for fifteen days. The doctors were amazed he survived the fall and they now call him the miracle man! He has been released by Workman's Comp with very limited restrictions that are to be reviewed in six months. He feels great and is thrilled to be back to work. He has been healed by the power of Christ! I am so thankful that God preserved the life and health of one of my dear friends. In addition to his role at the church, Jamie weekly helps me around my farm. He's like a member of the family, especially popular with the horses whom he cares for any time we're out of town. He and his wife Deanne are precious, giving, loyal, dedicated Christ followers and we're so blessed to have them in our lives.
