Bill Crockett's Testimony

Despair! It's very real and can be fatal. It almost was for me 16 years ago. I was sitting behind a shed at my parent's home in Brentwood, Tennessee with a 9mm pistol in my mouth and my finger on the trigger. Only God stopped me. What causes a person to get to this point in their life? What stops them from pulling the trigger? According to the Center for Disease Control in their "Understanding Suicide Fact Sheet 2012", 36,000 people in America take their own life every year. Another 374,000 people every year try and do not succeed. There is an answer and God is the key. In this new series we'll examine people in the Bible that wanted to die but did not. What caused their despair and how did God help them. May God spare and heal many lives through this very important series. It begins with my own personal story!
