IF YOU WATCH ANYTHING TODAY.... IT NEEDS TO BE THIS!

HI, GUYS! I KNOW , I HAVENT BEEN AROUND MUCH. WE HAVE JUST BEEN SO BUSY , HERE IN THE TAYLOR HOUSEHOLD.
CHRISTMAS IS COMING UP THIS WEEK. I AM SO EXCITED!!!
I REALLY NEEDED THIS CHRISTMAS. I DONT KNOW IF I CAN EVEN EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS THAT I MEAN BY THAT. BUT I DID NEED THIS CHRISTMAS!
ANYWAY, A FRIEND OF MINE POSTED THESE VIDEOS OF SIRAN STACEYS TESTIMONY , ON MYSPACE.
HE IS SUCH A STRONG MAN. TO LOSE THE MAJORITY OF HIS FAMILY ALL IN ONE SPLIT SECOND, AND ALMOST LOSE HIS OWN LIFE.
SEE THIS STORY IS VERY DEAR TO MY HEART. DALE AND I OFTEN GO TO BAMA FOOTBALL GAMES. WE WERE AT OUR FIRST HOMECOMING GAME THAT WE HAD EVER BEEN TO. WE WERE EXCITED, THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO AND SEE DOWN THERE. ESPECIALLY DURING HOMECOMING.
LOTS OF FORMER PLAYERS, THE PARADE, AND SUCH. WELL WE WERE WALKING THROUGH A TENT ON THE QUAD, AND IT IS LIKE A LITTLE MINI STORE. I LOOK UP AND AT A TABLE SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS WAS SIRAN STACEY.
BEING THE BAMA FAN I AM, AND HAVE BEEN SINCE I CAN EVEN REMEMBER, I WAS SO EXCITED! I LOVED HIM. HE WAS ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREATES PLAYERS AT BAMA.
I REMEMBER WATCHING HIM . HE WAS GETTING READY TO WRAP IT ALL UP , PEOPLE WERE PACKING UP HIS STUFF. I OF COURSE STOOD THERE IN SHOCK..LOL... NOT REALLY ABLE TO TALK MUCH.. GUESS I WAS STAR STRUCK .LOL
BUT DALE SPOKE TO HIM. HE LOOKED UP AND CONTINUED THE CONVERSATION. HE WASNT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO SHRUG YOU OFF, OR ACT AS IF HE DOESNT HAVE TIME FOR YOU. HE WAS SUCH A GREAT GUY. HE EVEN INTRODUCED US TO HIS WIFE HOLDING ONE OF HIS YOUNGER CHILDREN. I REMEMBER LOOKING AT HER AND THINKING WOW! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL. SHE HAD ONE OF THOSE FACES.
HE KIDDED AROUND , LAUGHED AND TALKED WITH US FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. UNTIL SOME GUYS TOLD HIM IT WAS TIME TO GO.
THAT WAS IN THE END OF OCTOBER OF 2007 I BELIEVE.
WELL, NOT TOO LONG AFTER THAT , I WATCH THE NEWS , AND THERE IS THE BREAKING STORY. 11/19/07- ALL OF THEM GONE. EXCEPT HE AND HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER.
AND AT THE TIME , HE WAS IN A COMA... LIFE THREATENING INJURIES HE HAD.
THIS HIT ME LIKE A TON OF BRICKS! I CRIED ALL DAY. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF I KNEW THESE PEOPLE PERSONALLY. IT WAS JUST SO STRANGE TO ME THAT I HAD JUST SEEN THEM TOGETHER, SPOKE WITH THEM... LAUGHED WITH THEM... AND NOW GONE. JUST LIKE THAT..... POOF....... GONE.
A WIFE, CHILDREN, OLDER AND YOUNGER.
ALL BECAUSE OF A DRUNK DRIVER.... A PERSON WHO DECIDED TO DRINK HIS OWN SORROWS AWAY , IM PRETTY SURE. TWICE THE LEGAL LIMIT , THIS PERSON DECIDES TO GET IN A CAR.... ITS SAD.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY THOUGH! THIS IS A RESILLIANT MAN. HE HAS GIVEN GOD ALL THE GLORY, HE HAS FORGIVEN, HE HAS STEPPED OUT IN HIS FAITH AND TALKED ABOUT THIS HORRIC ACCIDENT, ALL TO HELP PEOPLE. THE SAVE ONE MORE PERSON.
THIS MAN IS ONE OF MY HEROS!
I AM POSTING THE VIDEOS OF HIS TESTIMONY.
PLEASE WATCH THEM. HE DIDNT TALK JUST TO BE TALKING.

THEY ARE IN ORDER FROM TOP TO BOTTOM-

I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY OWN HOME!!!

OK... THE WORST THING EVER HAPPENED LATE LAST NIGHT!!!! I WAS GETTING READY TO GO TO BED , AS I WALKED INTO THE LIVING ROOM , I SEE SOMETHING MOVE...
I LOOKED DOWN AND IT WAS A SCORPION!!!!!!!!! HOLY COW!!!!
I SCREAMED FOR DALE TO COME... HE WAS IN THE BACK OF THE HOUSE.
HE RAN AS FAST AS HE COULD , 1. BECAUSE I SCREAMED LIKE I WAS DYING..LOL.. AND 2. BECAUSE I YELLED SCORPION.
HE CHASED IT AROUND THE LIVING ROOM AND FINALLY KILLED IT. I WAS SO TERRIFIED!
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS A SCORPION DOING IN MY HOUSE?!?!!?! I DONT LIVE IN THE DESERT!! LOL!
IT WAS HUUUUUUUGE!!! LOL..... AT LEAST 3 FEET LONG! LOL.. AND IT TRIED TO EAT ME WHOLE!
LOL...J/K.. BUT YOU KNOW I HAD TO MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT!
WE WENT TO BED AND I WOULD NOT QUIT TALKING ABOUT IT. DALE WAS LAUGHING HIS BUTT OFF. HE SAID HE USED TO SEE THEM IN THE HOUSE FROM TIME TO TIME...
I TOLD HIM I WAS AFRAID FOR MY LIFE. IT COULD HAVE MADE ME DEATHLY ILL, OR EVEN KILLED ME!!!! LOL
WHAT IF IT HAD HURT ONE OF MY PRECIOUS PUPPIES???? (LORD KNOWS IT WAS THE SIZE OF ONE OF THEM!! LOL!!)
OR EVEN OUR CHILD!! HOW CAN I PROTECT HER?!!?!!? I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED IN ALL MY LIFE!
WHERE DID THIS HORRIFIC THING COME FROM?

IT IS TRULY SAD WHEN YOU DONT FEEL SAFE IN YOUR HOME ANYMORE!


LOL.... GOOD THING HE WAS SO SMALL YOU COULD BARELY SEE HIM...LOL..
HE WAS BARELY THE SIZE OF ONE OF THOSE GIANT CARPENTER ANTS.
MY NEXT QUESTION WHEN I SAW IT WAS.....
OK .. SO HE IS SMALL.. BUT WHERE IS THE MOMMA???? LOL!!!

CAN YOU SAY DRAMA QUEEN???
