I'm quite far removed from being a God-Fearing man... But I'd think, if this were me, that He was trying to tell me something... The irony, if true, of choking and running into a church (Heimlich assist credited to the House of God)... I don't think that'd be lost on me. Lol.NavigatorWife and Big Don Thank this.
