When I got out of high school, I did not become that professional b-ball player. For one, grades were bad and I rather skip class and hang in the halls all the time. Then it got to the point were I tried all kinds of drugs such as; Tylenol pills, heroine, cocaine (crack) and many other drugs. Wow, I Did Not Know that by me entering into drugs (weed) that I would be trying other drug products.

One day while I was getting high heroine and some sort of pills, my heart had stopped for 11 minutes. I was with some friends getting high all day, went into a coma, and stayed in it for 10 days. The drugs caused me to be brain damaged. I was in critical condition. The right side of my brain suffered the effects and it paralyzed the left side of my body. "Wow, I Did Not Know" that the weed was setting me up for this kind of tragedy. I thought all I was going to do was smoke weed but I was tricked by the weed scheme.

I use a wheelchair now. I walk with a walker now to go to church and other short distances. My dreams of being a professional basketball player are destroyed now. My reflexes to catch a ball are off a great deal because of damaged nerves. Wow, I Did Not Know that drugs were trying to kill me. All I wanted to do was have fun and drugs got very serious with me and tried to wipe me out. What a price to pay.

Now I am in church thanking God for freeing me from drugs because He is the only one that can clean you up from any type of addiction. I owe it all to Him. You have a chance to receive His cleansing power, just go to Him and be real because He knows what is best for you. You are someone that He made and it hurts Him (Jesus) to watch you harm yourself.

I admonish you to get clean because you can be the next person to see a similar tragedy. I have written a book that will be published soon called WOW, I DID NOT KNOW. If you would like to buy it and see all of the footage of the story e-mail me. It would be good for you to give to your 8th grade child or a kid that you know that has potential and loves sports. Buy it for him as a gift. It will be one the best gifts you can ever give to your clean child or an athlete. We know that real stories as this will cause a few of people to not try drugs or even seek the cleaner-deliverer, (Jesus) to be free from drugs. My book is also about being aware of what you put your hands to do.  Talk to you later. Please order the book. It will be ready soon. May the grace of God be with you always.
