Shane -So I'm laying there mangled on the side of the road in a pool of my own  blood, head swelling, and my head split open after drinking all day and eating  morphine for a month, they said they would operate, but I wasn't supposed to  recover. The kid's not gonna live. I wasn't supposed to open my eyes. I'm not  supposed to be here. I grew up here in the Kansas City area, one of the suburbs Kansas City. Typical kid rode my bicycle all over town with my friends. As a  teenager, I started getting active in the church with some friends of mine in their  youth group. There on Wednesday nights, I was reading my Bible and praying,  and had a real active relationship with the Living God. And it was, it was real.  And then something happened when I was in my late teens. There seemed to  be something, something better, not a, not a particular event, but just I was  being, I was being drawn away. No, no, over here, it's nice. Check this out. My  other friends and the world had so much more to offer than the church did see,  see what he's got. You could have that. I bought into the deception that there  was something better, and I went after it drugs. One of these days I'm gonna  change my evil ways booze. But not today. That glass is still full, and that girl's  looking fine, so I'm gonna finish this whiskey and see what she's doing. Why  wouldn't I want that? I chased it all your miles an hour. You know, if one's good,  two's gotta be better years and years. If two's better than do some more chase it for years, when I was 21 started drinking pretty heavily. We went out drinking  every day, if it's a day in and with why it's a day to get drunk, one day back in,  back in, 01 I was hanging out with a friend of mine. Got together that night like  we did every night, to go drinking, and I got a phone call head off to my next  destination. I was out. I was out the door.  

Unknown Speaker - I watched him try to get on his motorcycle, and I  immediately saw him drop the bike. Because he was so drunk, 

Shane - he tried to talk me out of going. Came outside and tried to take my  keys, and we argued about it.  

Unknown Speaker - He snatched them out of my hand, got on his bike again,  and he started it up and tore off down the street.  

Shane - I never made it to my next destination. Let my buddy left the bar and  found me, and he jumped out, ran to my body, where I was convulsing and  laying in the pool of my own blood. My head swelling and my head split open.  Called 911, the ambulance showed up. Doctors said they would operate, but  kid's not gonna live. They removed four by six by six by six centimeters for my  front temporal lobe. Does live? He might, he might make it a month. You know,  tore up makes it a month. He's gonna be a vegetable after that. Anyway,  wouldn't be able to walk or talk. So my family, my friends, waited in the hospital 

room for Shane to die. They had all my my body parts donated, and they waited  and they found a place to put me, and waited in a grave site for me. I wasn't  supposed to recover. I wasn't supposed to open my eyes. I wasn't supposed to  talk ever again. One day there in the hospital, a friend of my dad's came in and  he had a prayer. He wanted to pray for me, so he gathered up some folks, and  they circled around the bed that I was laying in, and he prayed.  

Unknown Speaker - This guy was saying, you know, oh, great God in heaven,  we have a situation here at St Luke's Hospital.  

Shane - We need you to go down this hall and fix this kid that's broken in such a way that no man can put him back together.  

Unknown Speaker - And by the way, we need him fixed before tomorrow  morning in Jesus name amen. 

Shane - friend of mine agreed with that prayer, and the next day I woke up.  Unknown Speaker - They kept saying it's a miracle.  

Shane - The nurses and the doctors were going crazy.  

Unknown Speaker - I agree it was a miracle.  

Shane - I wasn't supposed to wake up, remove my hands or be hungry.  Unknown Speaker - It was couple of days later, they had to kick him out of ICU.  

Shane - They sent me down to a rehab hospital, where I continued to get better.  And I remember going to the chapel at the rehab hospital, and I remember  getting down on the little altar there in front of the pew, and I just said, God,  won't you take this life back? I've done a piss poor job with it. You can have it  because I can't do it. I can't do it myself. I pray that in Jesus name, he took that  life back and he gave me a new life. I was. Almost destroyed, but now I have  abundant life. I've been sober for almost 10 years. I don't have the void my life  that I was trying to fill for so many years. You don't know life. If you don't know  Jesus, it's about that rich life you can have now on Earth in fellowship with Him,  the Creator of life, the author of life and love. My name is Shane Kampe, and I  am Second. I.
