Once when in my 20s ,I was playing with a gun ! It went off and shot a hole thur my foot ! Shooting off the bone that was my big toe bone ! I went to the hospital and got a doctor who was the Miami Dolphins team Doctor ! I asked Him later how i got Him ! He said , He thought I was one of the players ?
He did not believe there was a God ! He told me I would never walk right again !
Plus my wife had just had our son ! so no one was working and the bills were due !
My Wife asked me ? what are we going to do ! I had broken my hand at the same t9ime! So i had a cast on my hand and one on my foot !
We had $8.00 and no food for the baby or us and needed to pay the bills also !
I said i go to the dog track ! She said ? You nuts ? I said honey we do not have enough to do anything much ?
Well my foot bled all the time when i tried to walk and I was very weak from losing so much blood ! i parked accross the street from the track, not wanting to pay the dollar to park ! I hopped accross the parking lots ! Cars beeping at me and people cusing me ! I could only go a short ways at a time and kept having to rest , before going again ?
I got inside and bought a tick on the first race. I hopped around to the cashing window and leaned on the counter ! The man asked if i had a ticket from another day ? I said No ! He said ? why are you here ? I said waiting for the race to run so i can cash it ! He laughed and told the other people back there and they all laughed ! Then the race ran and i won ! cashed it and hopped around to the buying window and got another ticket ! Leaving a trail of blood as i went !
Then i hopped around to the cashing window ! There was a big line ! so i just sat on the floor ! All the people were watching me ! I guess they thought i must really love gambling ? After the line was gone ? I got up again and leaned on the counter ! The guy said , You have another ticket ? I said No ! I got one for the next race ! It ran and I cashed it ! Then went and got another one and did it all over again 1 this time the guy asked if i knew someone in the dog kennels ? I said No ! He asked to see the ticket ! I showed it to him ! It won and i told Him i was going home ! He said stay and get some more ! I said i have all i need now !
later that wek my wife said , Honey we only have $20.00 .left ! Can you go back to the dog track ? I said yes and went back and won each time! ! Then i went back one time after that ! that last time i won the first three races and then lost the last one ! So i d9id not go back again !
About two weeks after going to the hospital and went to the doctors office ! They had like a small hospital ! They x -rayed my foot and took it too the doctor ! He looked at it and said , this is not mr. cooks x-ray , this man has a whole foot ! Mr. cook does not ! the nurse said i did it my self and it is His x-ray ! I said , very low i know what happened ! He said speak up i cannot hear you !
I said God healed me ! He said there is no God ! I said You put that bone in there ? He said no. I said i grow it ? He said No ! I said then GOD Must of done it ! He went nuts and knocked everything off His desk and went and look up at the sky ! The nurse was shaking and asked could she leave ? He said yes get out ! I waited , then asked could i leave too ? He said Yes and never come backk here again ! I said ok and never went back !
