You know, we\u2019ve been talking this week about a mom and a dad wrestling with the decision about whether the mom stays home once the baby is born: \u201cDo you do that?\u00a0 Do you get back in the job market?\u00a0 How do you make that decision?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWas that something you and Barbara discussed before you got married?\u00a0 I mean, you were both in ministry together.

[Laughter] What happens is\u2014your true core values do come out in your decisions. And for Barbara, I wanted her to primarily be focused on our home, and raising those children, and creating a sense of family, and making that the place to be. She was a magnet, in those first years\u2014drawing me home, and drawing the kids together, and drawing our family together. I think that\u2019s a power, that only a woman has, that needs to be exercised and needs to be focused on by women today. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd we have a couple of folks in the studio with us who, I think, agree with us\u2014Sandy and Ken Calwell join us again.

Explain what you guys do. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>That\u2019s right. We got 1,300 restaurants across the country, but it started in the Pacific Northwest. The idea is to kind of concentrate all the focus and resources on just putting the best ingredients on a pizza. You put it in your oven, and you cook it fresh for your family when you\u2019re ready. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>I can get extra cheese if I want; right?\u2014I just want to make sure.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>You absolutely can.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Because I like that cheese to just kind of clog up in my mouth; you know?

You made a heroic decision to go home and stay home after you were pregnant with Kasey, and you have continued to stay there. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tInitially, it was a two-year commitment\u2014you were going to kind of check it out and see how it went. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut one of the things you did in your book\u2014and I kind of call this book a two-for because it\u2019s really two books in one. It\u2019s one\u2014a book that causes, I think, women to think about the most important job they\u2019re ever going to have in their lifetimes\u2014\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014but, then, it\u2019s also a great model of what every mom and, as far as that goes, dad needs to do in determining what life lessons you want to pass on. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI wanted to focus on Number 2, here, at the beginning of the broadcast. Share with our listeners what that is. Then, I want to talk about something that really has an application here\u2014that Ken models out of his life because he\u2019s experienced it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sandy: <\/strong>Well, Life Lesson Number 2 is \u201cHow to Handle Adversity.\u201d\u00a0 I brought that in this because\u2014like many of the lessons that I mention\u2014modeling is key in parenting. We can\u2019t teach our kids anything if we\u2019re not willing to do it ourselves, and life is not easy. There are going to be wins in your kid\u2019s life, and there are going to be losses. You\u2019re going to have to help them navigate how to figure their way out of those losses and make those into positives.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tFortunately, for us, we have a very strong leader in my husband. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe has a story of his own that has to do with overcoming adversity that is tremendous. So, my son has learned that about his father, very early on, and knows that is part of his character.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>That story goes back to before you were married. We heard just a little bit about it already this week, but it had to do with\u2014you were a triathlete?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>That\u2019s correct; yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And this was kind of a hobby for you to run, and to bike, and to swim. Did you compete in a number of triathlons?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Yes, I did. You basically start with a swim. There are varying distances, but I did the international distance. Typically, the swim would be a half-mile swim or so; and then, you get out of that and you transition to a bike. The distances I would typically do there would be about a 25-mile bike or so. Then, you jump to the run, and you\u2019d run usually a 10K\u2014about 6.2 miles. I would\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Now wait. You <em>enjoyed<\/em> doing this?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>I did.

I would bike six days a week, each morning, at around six am, before work. It was on August 8, 1991\u2014I was in Wichita, Kansas. I got up that morning\u2014like I had done for a couple of years, at that point, each morning\u2014jumped on my bike and rode out to a country road that I\u2019d ridden on, probably a thousand times before.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sandy: <\/strong>You and your buddy\u2014your training buddy.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Yes. I had a buddy of mine, who was riding right behind me. We just went out on our morning ride\u2014it was a 30-mile ride. We were riding out in the country, outside of Wichita\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Now, did you do that on purpose because of safety issues?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Yes. Yes, we did. This road that we had been on\u2014it was one of those roads that you\u2019d only see a car every few minutes because it was so lightly-traveled\u2014particularly, at six in the morning. So, we were out there, and we were over on the right-hand side of the road, near the shoulder. I was leading; and we were going about 20\/ 25 miles an hour, down that road, south of Wichita.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tCars would go on the oncoming lane and go by, and you wouldn\u2019t really pay them much notice because you\u2019re riding over in your lane\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014but, all of a sudden, what I saw was a car that had jerked. It was basically a car going about 50\/55 miles an hour, coming the other direction. The woman had fallen asleep in it and jerked on the wheel, and it came across the center line. I took my bike and tried to jerk over into the ditch, but there wasn\u2019t time. She was going 50\/55 miles an hour towards me; and I was going 25, in the other direction. I went right into the grill and into the windshield of the car. Then, the car was going that fast\u2014it pulled me alongside the car. I got caught under the back wheel\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Oh my!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>\u2014and drug a little bit. Then, the tire went over my right shoulder and left me on the road, on my back. I heard a lot of loud breaking sounds and things. Then, when it finished, I was kind of looking straight up. It was all quiet, and I\u2019m just looking up at a beautiful Kansas blue sky. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>You were how old, at this point?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>I was 29\u201429 years old.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>In shock, certainly, at that point.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>They said it was very interesting\u2014they said that I never actually went into shock. I do remember lying there. I was lying there; and the first thing I thought was: \u201cI\u2019ve got to get out of this road. There are still cars that would be coming, eventually.\u201d\u00a0 So, I went to try to get out of the road, like you would normally do. I didn\u2019t know what had fully happened. You go to move and neither leg moved at all. My left leg was shattered, four times below the knee\u2014three of those were compound fractures. Then, my right femur on my leg was compound fractured. My pelvis was broken in four places. My right arm was fractured in four places, and three of those were compound fractures. I had no use of my right arm; but my left arm still worked. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI propped myself up with my left arm so I could be seen in the road.

It had only opened like a year before that. At that very time, two different EMS squads\u2014the one getting off and the one coming on\u2014were there at the same time. Within minutes, they were out at the scene, and they were able to stabilize me \/ stabilize us and take us back to the hospital. I had nine hours of trauma surgery.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sandy: <\/strong>And the driver, that was following the lady that hit you, was a nurse; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>That\u2019s right.

She was able to\u2014no cell phones at the time\u2014so, she went down to the corner immediately\u2014saw what had happened, went down, and called. That\u2019s why we had that quick medical attention.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen the two EMS folks came out and looked at me and my friend, the more-experienced of the two, who had done this a lot, looked at both of us\u2014I was told about this later\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>12:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014but he said\u2014pointed towards me and told his assistant, \u201cYou go ahead and find out if he has anything last to say to his relatives and things.\u201d\u00a0 He said, \u201cAnd then, we\u2019re going to have to bag him up and go take care of this other one because I think we can save the other one.\u201d\u00a0 He didn\u2019t think I would make it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut she came and talked to me, and I talked with her.

You think, \u201cOkay, I survived that.\u201d\u00a0 But on that seventh day, my condition continued to drop\u2014the oxygen content of my blood and things\u2014because your body is trying to absorb all that trauma.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt was late that day. All of a sudden, they stationed a surgical intensive care nurse in my room with me who was talking to me constantly and asking how things were. There was a point there where they even thought that they would lose me again. My condition dropped so much; but they stabilized me, again, that evening. When they left my room, the nurse was telling me\u2014you know, she goes: \u201cYou are really\u201d\u2014I was a pretty optimistic person\u2014but she was saying, \u201cThings are pretty rough.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, that night\u2014it was interesting\u2014because I was raised in a Christian home, we had always, before we went to bed every night, said the Lord\u2019s Prayer. As the room got quiet\u2014and I\u2019m in there about seven o\u2019clock at night\u2014I just started\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sandy: <\/strong>And you can\u2019t sleep because of the pain; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Yes.

The pain\u2014they really can\u2019t quite take care of that kind of pain. So, you just are in and out for nights\/days and things like that. So, that night, I started\u2014and I just started the Lord\u2019s Prayer. I just started saying the Lord\u2019s Prayer, like I had done a million times before.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou get to things like, \u201cThy will be done,\u201d and I just hung out there for a second on \u201cThy will be done\u201d\u2014\u201cBoy, God, what is Your will?\u00a0 Where are You taking me?\u00a0 Where are we going on this?\u201d\u00a0 All of a sudden, I looked up. The sun was coming up, and I realized that I had said these kind of rote prayers my whole life; but, at that point, I was still praying that same prayer, and I felt the presence of God being right with me. As the sun came up, I realized I\u2019d been praying all night. I\u2019d always been told and taught that Jesus loved me\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014but I think that was the morning I would say that I <em>knew<\/em> that Jesus loved me and He was with me through all of this. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI could tell you, from that point forward\u2014that next morning, I said: \u201cWell, this is the toughest point right here; and every minute after this minute is going to be a better minute. Every hour is going to be a better hour. Every day is going to be a better day. Every year is going to be a better year. My dreams are bigger than anything that has ever happened in the past. We\u2019ve got to \/ we are going to\u2014I\u2019m going to pray about this and see where God takes it.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat I feel blessed with, now, is that He was\u2014God was so gracious to me through all that. I can\u2019t even tell you how\u2014I mean, I was told that I was going to lose my left leg, below the knee. I was told that my right arm\u2014it was very sketchy whether\u2014very low probability that I would get the use of it back again. With lots of prayer, five months later, I learned I was keeping my left leg. A little later than that\u2014a year later\u2014I learned that I was going to be able to use my right arm again, and learn to walk again, and learn to run again. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>16:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tGod has just been so gracious and given me gifts beyond anything that I can imagine. Honestly, I look back on it, and I really believe that He gave me a softer heart. I have a much stronger relationship with Christ and see His work in everything that happens. Sandy came, as a gift, a few years later; and Kasey came, as a gift, a couple of years after that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd I do\u2014I look back now and you almost say, \u201cThe accident was a gift.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s an opportunity, when that comes along, to be faithful and to just trust God\u2014trust Him that He doesn\u2019t make mistakes. This all happened for a reason. You\u2019ve just got to figure out what that reason is\u2014and I\u2019m still trying to figure out what that reason is. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Your body today\u2014still reminders of the accident?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Yes, I still have a steel rod in my left leg.

I wanted to be able to swim with my son, run with my son, and bike with him. So, I get out there with Kasey\u2014just a month or so ago\u2014for a big run around the lake. I\u2019m just practically crying out there that I\u2019m able to go run\u2014not very fast anymore. He\u2019s beaten me, bad, but just to be out there with him\u2014God is good.

We just went on our morning ride. It was a 30-mile ride, and we were riding out in the country outside of Wichita. It was one of those roads that you\u2019d only see a car every few minutes because it was so lightly-travelled\u2014particularly at six in the morning. We were over on the right-hand side of the road, near the shoulder, and I was leading.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAll of a sudden, what I saw was a car that had jerked. The woman had fallen asleep in it and jerked on the wheel, and it came across the center line. I went right into the grill, and then into the windshield of the car. You know, there were a lot of loud breaking sounds and things. Then, when it finished, I was kind of looking straight up. It was all quiet, and I\u2019m just looking up at a beautiful Kansas blue sky.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>This is <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> for Friday, July 10<sup>th<\/sup>. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>1:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOur host is the President of FamilyLife<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, Dennis Rainey, and I\u2019m Bob Lepine.\u00a0 Ken Calwell joins us today to share about the wreck, about the road to recovery, and about where God was the whole time. Stay tuned. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>. Thanks for joining us on the Friday edition. You know, we\u2019ve been talking this week about a mom and a dad wrestling with the decision about whether the mom stays home once the baby is born: \u201cDo you do that?\u00a0 Do you get back in the job market?\u00a0 How do you make that decision?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWas that something you and Barbara discussed before you got married?\u00a0 I mean, you were both in ministry together. Did you ever talk about how her ministry involvement might shift, once kids came along?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>You know, much like our guests on today\u2019s broadcast, we had some general discussions\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>2:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014but not down to the specifics of how it works its way out in everyday life\u2014I mean, FamilyLife started growing like a weed, and we started having children\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014like weeds. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Yes, like weeds too. [Laughter] What happens is\u2014your true core values do come out in your decisions. And for Barbara, I wanted her to primarily be focused on our home, and raising those children, and creating a sense of family, and making that the place to be. She was a magnet, in those first years\u2014drawing me home, and drawing the kids together, and drawing our family together.

You made a heroic decision to go home and stay home after you were pregnant with Kasey, and you have continued to stay there. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tInitially, it was a two-year commitment\u2014you were going to kind of check it out and see how it went. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut one of the things you did in your book\u2014and I kind of call this book a two-for because it\u2019s really two books in one. It\u2019s one\u2014a book that causes, I think, women to think about the most important job they\u2019re ever going to have in their lifetimes\u2014\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014but, then, it\u2019s also a great model of what every mom and, as far as that goes, dad needs to do in determining what life lessons you want to pass on. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI wanted to focus on Number 2, here, at the beginning of the broadcast.

We can\u2019t teach our kids anything if we\u2019re not willing to do it ourselves, and life is not easy. There are going to be wins in your kid\u2019s life, and there are going to be losses. You\u2019re going to have to help them navigate how to figure their way out of those losses and make those into positives.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tFortunately, for us, we have a very strong leader in my husband. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe has a story of his own that has to do with overcoming adversity that is tremendous.

There are varying distances, but I did the international distance. Typically, the swim would be a half-mile swim or so; and then, you get out of that and you transition to a bike. The distances I would typically do there would be about a 25-mile bike or so. Then, you jump to the run, and you\u2019d run usually a 10K\u2014about 6.2 miles.

I would bike six days a week, each morning, at around six am, before work. It was on August 8, 1991\u2014I was in Wichita, Kansas. I got up that morning\u2014like I had done for a couple of years, at that point, each morning\u2014jumped on my bike and rode out to a country road that I\u2019d ridden on, probably a thousand times before.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sandy: <\/strong>You and your buddy\u2014your training buddy.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Yes. I had a buddy of mine, who was riding right behind me. We just went out on our morning ride\u2014it was a 30-mile ride. We were riding out in the country, outside of Wichita\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Now, did you do that on purpose because of safety issues?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Yes. Yes, we did. This road that we had been on\u2014it was one of those roads that you\u2019d only see a car every few minutes because it was so lightly-traveled\u2014particularly, at six in the morning. So, we were out there, and we were over on the right-hand side of the road, near the shoulder. I was leading; and we were going about 20\/ 25 miles an hour, down that road, south of Wichita.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tCars would go on the oncoming lane and go by, and you wouldn\u2019t really pay them much notice because you\u2019re riding over in your lane\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014but, all of a sudden, what I saw was a car that had jerked. It was basically a car going about 50\/55 miles an hour, coming the other direction. The woman had fallen asleep in it and jerked on the wheel, and it came across the center line. I took my bike and tried to jerk over into the ditch, but there wasn\u2019t time. She was going 50\/55 miles an hour towards me; and I was going 25, in the other direction. I went right into the grill and into the windshield of the car. Then, the car was going that fast\u2014it pulled me alongside the car. I got caught under the back wheel\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Oh my!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>\u2014and drug a little bit. Then, the tire went over my right shoulder and left me on the road, on my back. I heard a lot of loud breaking sounds and things. Then, when it finished, I was kind of looking straight up. It was all quiet, and I\u2019m just looking up at a beautiful Kansas blue sky. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>You were how old, at this point?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>I was 29\u201429 years old.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>In shock, certainly, at that point.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>They said it was very interesting\u2014they said that I never actually went into shock. I do remember lying there. I was lying there; and the first thing I thought was: \u201cI\u2019ve got to get out of this road. There are still cars that would be coming, eventually.\u201d\u00a0 So, I went to try to get out of the road, like you would normally do. I didn\u2019t know what had fully happened. You go to move and neither leg moved at all. My left leg was shattered, four times below the knee\u2014three of those were compound fractures. Then, my right femur on my leg was compound fractured. My pelvis was broken in four places. My right arm was fractured in four places, and three of those were compound fractures. I had no use of my right arm; but my left arm still worked. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI propped myself up with my left arm so I could be seen in the road. I propped myself up there as long as I could, but eventually strength gave out. When I fell back on the pavement, it was really just a pool of my own blood. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>10:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd so\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Where was your buddy, at this point?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>He was just laying probably about 10 or 15 feet away from me.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>So, he\u2019d gotten hit too.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>He got hit too.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sandy: <\/strong>He got flipped over the car.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Yes, I kind of went into the car and under, and he went over. We ended up only about 10 to 12 feet apart. It was interesting because I said I was in the best shape of my life. I was training for the National Championships, at the time, in triathlon. Just minutes\u2014as I said\u2014just seconds before, I\u2019m in the best shape of my life; but a couple of seconds later, I can\u2019t\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>You\u2019re in the worst shape of your life.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>I can\u2019t\u2014I don\u2019t even have the strength to lift my head above the pavement. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>It\u2019s at that point you say: \u201cGod\u2019s got it.

It had only opened like a year before that. At that very time, two different EMS squads\u2014the one getting off and the one coming on\u2014were there at the same time. Within minutes, they were out at the scene, and they were able to stabilize me \/ stabilize us and take us back to the hospital. I had nine hours of trauma surgery.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sandy: <\/strong>And the driver, that was following the lady that hit you, was a nurse; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>That\u2019s right. Yes, the driver, following the woman that hit us, saw the whole thing happen. She was able to\u2014no cell phones at the time\u2014so, she went down to the corner immediately\u2014saw what had happened, went down, and called. That\u2019s why we had that quick medical attention.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen the two EMS folks came out and looked at me and my friend, the more-experienced of the two, who had done this a lot, looked at both of us\u2014I was told about this later\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>12:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014but he said\u2014pointed towards me and told his assistant, \u201cYou go ahead and find out if he has anything last to say to his relatives and things.\u201d\u00a0 He said, \u201cAnd then, we\u2019re going to have to bag him up and go take care of this other one because I think we can save the other one.\u201d\u00a0 He didn\u2019t think I would make it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut she came and talked to me, and I talked with her. As she was talking, she was doing my blood pressure and stuff. She yelled back, \u201cWell, he\u2019s talking and his blood pressure is better than I\u2019d think.\u201d\u00a0 So, they ended up putting these pressure pants on me\u2014they were experimenting with at the time\u2014which pushed the blood out of your legs and your stomach to keep it in your heart and brain to keep you alive\u2014and took me down to the hospital.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey did nine hours of surgery with a team, and I came to. Then, I was in intensive care for seven days. On the seventh day, August 15<sup>th<\/sup>\u2014my condition, each day, kind of got worse as the\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>13:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014you think you\u2019re out of it. You think, \u201cOkay, I survived that.\u201d\u00a0 But on that seventh day, my condition continued to drop\u2014the oxygen content of my blood and things\u2014because your body is trying to absorb all that trauma.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt was late that day. All of a sudden, they stationed a surgical intensive care nurse in my room with me who was talking to me constantly and asking how things were. There was a point there where they even thought that they would lose me again. My condition dropped so much; but they stabilized me, again, that evening. When they left my room, the nurse was telling me\u2014you know, she goes: \u201cYou are really\u201d\u2014I was a pretty optimistic person\u2014but she was saying, \u201cThings are pretty rough.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, that night\u2014it was interesting\u2014because I was raised in a Christian home, we had always, before we went to bed every night, said the Lord\u2019s Prayer. As the room got quiet\u2014and I\u2019m in there about seven o\u2019clock at night\u2014I just started\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Sandy: <\/strong>And you can\u2019t sleep because of the pain; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Yes.

So, that night, I started\u2014and I just started the Lord\u2019s Prayer. I just started saying the Lord\u2019s Prayer, like I had done a million times before.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou get to things like, \u201cThy will be done,\u201d and I just hung out there for a second on \u201cThy will be done\u201d\u2014\u201cBoy, God, what is Your will?\u00a0 Where are You taking me?\u00a0 Where are we going on this?\u201d\u00a0 All of a sudden, I looked up. The sun was coming up, and I realized that I had said these kind of rote prayers my whole life; but, at that point, I was still praying that same prayer, and I felt the presence of God being right with me. As the sun came up, I realized I\u2019d been praying all night. I\u2019d always been told and taught that Jesus loved me\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014but I think that was the morning I would say that I <em>knew<\/em> that Jesus loved me and He was with me through all of this. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI could tell you, from that point forward\u2014that next morning, I said: \u201cWell, this is the toughest point right here; and every minute after this minute is going to be a better minute.

I can\u2019t even tell you how\u2014I mean, I was told that I was going to lose my left leg, below the knee. I was told that my right arm\u2014it was very sketchy whether\u2014very low probability that I would get the use of it back again. With lots of prayer, five months later, I learned I was keeping my left leg. A little later than that\u2014a year later\u2014I learned that I was going to be able to use my right arm again, and learn to walk again, and learn to run again. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>16:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tGod has just been so gracious and given me gifts beyond anything that I can imagine. Honestly, I look back on it, and I really believe that He gave me a softer heart. I have a much stronger relationship with Christ and see His work in everything that happens. Sandy came, as a gift, a few years later; and Kasey came, as a gift, a couple of years after that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd I do\u2014I look back now and you almost say, \u201cThe accident was a gift.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s an opportunity, when that comes along, to be faithful and to just trust God\u2014trust Him that He doesn\u2019t make mistakes. This all happened for a reason. You\u2019ve just got to figure out what that reason is\u2014and I\u2019m still trying to figure out what that reason is. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Your body today\u2014still reminders of the accident?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Yes, I still have a steel rod in my left leg.

I wanted to be able to swim with my son, run with my son, and bike with him. So, I get out there with Kasey\u2014just a month or so ago\u2014for a big run around the lake. I\u2019m just practically crying out there that I\u2019m able to go run\u2014not very fast anymore. He\u2019s beaten me, bad, but just to be out there with him\u2014God is good.

There were two things that came to mind as you were sharing. Psalm 71, verse 17, \u201cOh God, from my youth You have taught me, and I still proclaim Your wondrous deeds.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Yes; amen.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>He called us to that.

There\u2019s a reason why it\u2019s number two on your life lessons. It is an important lesson to teach our kids\u2014how you handle adversity.
