MIKES CAR A TOTAL WRITE-OFF

At the time Mike was drunk.  He had a horrendous car wreck and  his car a total write-off.  According to the nurses and doctor who attended Mike Talma, he should have been dead.

Mike Talma now believes that two angels were at the scene of his car accident.  Mike saw  two men dressed in white robes who came to the scene of the accident at 3 am, in a shiny black automobile, and these two men (angels) saved Mike's life that night.

Mike Talma is not the kind of man to stand behind a pulpit to tell his story of the angels saving his life, but some time ago on CKER’s Nightwatch program, he opened up.

The eventful night began with Mike and two buddies making bets, to see who could drink the most beer. After five hours in the bar, they agreed to meet again at a “country dance”. Mike, however, decided he needed more to drink, so polished off a 26-ounce bottle of lemon gin, straight.

It was starting to rain as Mike headed down the highway. And that’s all he remembers until he saw the concrete abutment directly before him.

Three hours later, Mike regained consciousness. The engine of the automobile was lying on the seat beside him, the hind wheels had been thrown across the bridge and the front wheels and chassis in the other direction.

As Mike crawled out of the wreck, two men dressed in white robes were standing in the rain, beside a spotless black car.

‘No Broken Bones’

“We’ve come to take you to a place where they will check you over. As far as we can see, there are no broken bones - all you’ll need is a few bandages and a good sleep”, said the strangers.

“I thought they were doctors, but wondered how they could know my condition standing there in the dark”, Mike recalled.

“Who are you, anyway?” Mike asked.

The two men in white robes helped Mike into the car, saying he should relax. As they sped away, Mike was shocked! They were driving without lights, it was like they were floating, with no bumps.

“Are you guys drunk? Don’t you know you can get a ticket for driving without lights? How can you see in the dark?

“Who are you”, he asked again.

“We have been sent to help you”, they replied politely. “One day you will meet us again, and recognize us”.

In a few moments they were escorting him into the Barrhead Hospital.

The nurse looked up in amazement and saw Mike standing at her desk. She asked, “What happened to you? Where did you come from”?

“I came in through those doors, like anyone else” he answered. “How could you? The doors have been locked since visiting hours ended”! answered the nurse.

“I was in an accident and these two men brought me in here”, he replied.

“Which men?” she asked.

“These men” replied Mike, pointing to both sides, but there was no one there! The nurse rushed out to get additional information, but there was no one in the parking lot.

The shiny black automobile and the men dressed in white, were gone!

Upon examination, the doctor found no broken bones or injuries; only seven deep facial cuts, which he taped.

Mike often thought about the strange episode, but told only a few people. About a dozen years ago when he began reading the Bible, it all came together. Mike realized that God had sent 2 angels to save his life.  And when he gave his heart to Jesus Christ, a new life opened up for him and his family!

One thing is sure, Mike Talma is very glad to be alive, Mike is very glad that God cared enough about him to send the angels to help him.  He  gives God all the praise, honour and glory.
