@skimboarder000 Sadly, it's not "cool" or "hip" to reference God, let alone pledge devotion to God in the 21st century.......

Thank you Bradster75, been looking for him there!!!

the credit should be to the family first. they were the ones who supported him and stimulated his senses inorder for him to recover.

Interact with Jason on his new Facebook Fans Page. Just type "Jason Crigler" into your Facebook search box and click on the black and white icon of Jason playing the guitar.

It is heartfelt but I feel that no credit was given to God, the one who was truly responsible for this miracle. That is the true meaning.

A must-see! With all humility I ask : how can anyone say anything negative about this???? Monica and Jason truly know the meaning of love and devotion. The entire family and his friends are a beautiful testimony to what life is really about. I thank all of them with my whole heart!

I am so thrilled that I watched this film the other night. It is well worth watching... many many lessons to learn and very inspirational.
