This page is made in memory of my only two children who died with their
father and step mother, on a short spring break camping trip
gone terribly wrong. They had just left to the Wild Life Safari (
Winston, Oregon) and were settled in for the 2 hr trip out to the coast
where they were going to spend a couple days.
The trip ended in the Camas Valley, Oregon when in the oncoming lane drove a driver who had fallen asleep at the wheel that was alcohol induced. It was an 80% head on collision, Jeff (heading west) slammed on his brakes for 80 ft and the little pickup(heading east) hit, flipping up and landing the wrong way in his lane blocking traffic for hours. His alcohol content from what was left of him was as high as .16 BAC(Blood Alcohol Content) and there were opened and unopened alcohol found in wreckage.
There was a fire that started on the vehicle headed west and my children and their step mother died from smoke inhalation. Both drivers died on impact!
This page is to bring AWARENESS to those who think it CAN'T happen to them. I am here to tell you it CAN!

Story Below written Feb 2011
14 Yrs Ago Both of My Children Were Killed by a Drunk Driver. Their Father and Stepmother were also killed in this Accident. This could have been prevented!
The DD was Jeffrey Burton ,48 yrs old approx., and he was soon to be a grandfather himself. He complained of being so tired that he needed to take the following day off. He commuted 2 hrs both ways for work as a relief driver for a Northwest Dairy Company. He apparently stopped off at the quicky mart and bought a six pack of beer for the trip home, drank a few and fell asleep at the wheel. On a sweeping corner, crossed the double line and hit head on the oncoming traffic which was my family. 80% head on collision crushing the front of the jeep, Bowers skidding 85 ft as he saw what was coming, and crushing the little truck into the drivers cab. The jeep was pulling a tent trailer and in this collision caused the trailer to come unhitched and shove under the back of the jeep punching a hole in the full gas tank and a fire started.
5 people lost their lives in this accident!!! Numerous families affected and changed forever!

JESUS SPEAKS ABOUT SALVATION! BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteAfter Jesus was resurrected from the grave by the Father, He spoke of salvation twice to His disciples.
1.Jesus said: Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
2. Jesus said: Luke 24:47-49 "And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.........
The apostle Peter preached Jesus and he preached repentance and water baptism for the remission of sins beginning at Jerusalem, on the Day of Pentecost. (Acts 2:22-38)
The New Covenant terms for pardon were very clear. A. Faith in Jesus. B. Repentance (making the commitment to turn from sin and unbelief and turn toward God. And C. Be baptized in water.
Jesus said it, "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved."
WHAT JESUS DID NOT SAY ABOUT SALVATION AFTER HIS RESURRECTION.
1. He not did say be saved like the thief on the cross.
2. Jesus did not say be saved like Moses.
3. He did not say be saved like the woman who loved much.
4. Jesus did not say be saved like Enoch.
5. Jesus did not say be saved like Elijah.
6. He did not say be saved like the paralytic.
7. Jesus did not say be saved like Abraham.
8. He did not say to be saved like Noah.
Men today are to be saved like the three thousand who were saved on the Day of Pentecost. (Acts 2:22-41,....40... "Be saved from this perverse generation." 41 The those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.) The apostle Peter followed the instructions of Jesus.
(Scripture from: NKJV)
