I was driving to church, one Sunday morning, when I saw Rick on his motorcycle.  When I realized that it couldn't be him because he was deceased (not to mention that we lived in different countries), I thought that there must be a message, so when I got to church I prayed for Rick, his wife, and his children.  When I got into the car after the service I turned on the radio and there was an obscure, Scottish, song which I only associate with  him, playing on the contemporary pop station, and I felt a very strong presence of him.  I had never heard that song on the radio in the US before, or since, then.  I had a feeling of extreme happiness and love.

When I was in my 20's I hit an icy stretch of highway while pulling a large u-haul trailer with my vehicle.  We started spinning and the trailer would snap the car around and vice versa and I was in a total panic.  We were heading to a bridge and I just knew we were going to hit it and there was nothing I could do about it when, suddenly, a calm and loving "voice" told me to take my hands off the steering wheel and remove my foot from the pedals.  My passenger was screaming and I became totally calm.  I did as the voice told me and held her hand while I watched the bridge go by and we landed perfectly safe and upright on the grass meridian.  

When I was in my 30's I had a massive hemorrhage from a severed artery and felt another dimension, as well as extreme love and euphoria.
