TRUE FREEDOM

Oliver North

2004 Honorary Chairman, National Day of Prayer

God has protected and blessed me all my life.... for more than thirty years...patiently coaxed me toward the pathway to true freedom...but I persisted in blundering down my own path in determined ignorance.

...One morning, about two weeks before we were due to deploy, our battalion was conducting a training exercise. I had just adjusted the antenna on an armored amphibious vehicle and, spurning the ladder on the side, jumped to the ground. Big mistake.

...I had re-injured my back ... I lay writhing on the ground. Couldn’t feel my legs. Lost control of my bladder.

Before a medic could arrive, John Grinalds showed up. Next thing I knew, he was putting his hands on my legs and saying, “I’m going to pray for you.”

Pray? I thought. I’m lying here in agony, and you want to pray!

Oliver North had a radio show and advocated leniency for Carla Faye Tucker.

She'd done the pickaxe murders, done the jailhouse conversion, and Oliver North was taking calls.

I called and got put on hold, but I was against leniency, so didn't get on.

I was close to a woman murdered in such a violent cold-blooded fashion, and wasn't about to recognize a jailhouse conversion.

I was sort of neutral about Oliver North until an appearance he had on TV (Larry King?).

In response to one of those "what makes you tick" sort of questions he said
"well, I'm a follower of an intinerant carpenter".
