    Tamingway Burpo Story

    (Pg. 25) At this point, many x-rays, and CT scans were taken. After the CT scan was over, the technician did not take Todd and Sonja back to the waiting room, in fact, he took them to the isolated hallway where a few chairs were lined up against the wall. Both Sonja and Todd knew that something was wrong with their little boy. Five minutes into sitting in the hallway, a white-coated man emerged from the imaging lab. The radiologist had said that Colton has a ruptured appendix, and would be needing emergency surgery. As Colton began screaming and crying for his father to not let the doctors take him, Todd was very confused and upset with God. “Where are you? Is this how you treat your pastors?! Is it even worth it to serve you?.” (Pg. 39) That's when everything hit Todd. “We waited too long.

The nurse had asked Todd to come back. Colton was out of surgery and they couldn't get him to calm down. He was screaming and crying for his father. Sonja and Todd were so relieved to still have their little boy with…

    Anthony Robles

    On July 20, 1988, Anthony Robles came in the world there was just one problem that doctors didn’t understand when, Judy Robles, age 16, gave birth to a baby boy who was missing his right leg. Doctors could not explain what went wrong or why he was missing a leg, all the way up to the hip with no stump to attach a prosthetic limb. Doctors work on a prosthetic leg that would help Anthony but, he would rather just deal with how was he was born because as his mother always told him growing up that "God made him this way for a reason" and she made sure that no matter what he would believe it. Like all good mom’s she was correct and Anthony Robles finally learned he was made the way he was, when he was only the age of 14, in Mesa, Arizona, when he tried out for the wrestling team.…

When Dr. Coletta asked me if I had any concerns now that he had removed the "mass" I expressed my disappointment with the scar he'd left. Politely he answered that I at least had an arm to…

    Speech Pro-Life for Public Speaking

    "When they took me into the O.R., I took a deep breath and went to sleep. When I woke up, I was in the recovery. I just felt so empty inside - one minute I had a life living inside me and 20 minutes later there's nothing. I just started crying hysterically. The nurse came up to me and said "Why are you crying? You got what you wanted, now be quiet; you're going to worry the other girls." I got myself under control and walked out into the waiting room. As soon as I got out of there I just started screaming and crying, "What did I do?" I had to be carried into the car. I cried all the way home - in my life I have never felt so much pain like that day. It's been 4 months now, and it still hurts like it was yesterday," said eighteen year old Shantel Garcia, months after a surgical procedure that changed her life.…
