Late one evening about six years ago, as I was driving to see a friend, I was involved in a head-on collision with another car; both cars had been traveling at speeds exceeding forty miles per hour. As was later recounted to me by two individuals who were present, it appeared as if I had received an extremely severe blow to the head, rendering me incoherent. Of the three people most immediately involved in the accident, I seemed to be in the worst shape.

My mother was called, and she in turn contacted the friend that I was on my way to visit, as he was closer to the scene. When he arrived, the paramedics on the scene expressed great concern about my physical and mental health.

During this time, I had been speaking something that sounded to them like gibberish, but included the words shepherd and sheep. The remarkable thing was, though I did not recognize my friend or the names of anyone in my family (my memory appearing impaired), I refused to allow the attendants to put me in the ambulance; even then I was able to choose to rely on God. I am grateful to my friend, who supported me in this decision though he was not himself a Christian Scientist.
