I talked to God on Raton Pass

W. W. Killingsworth, had a heart attack while on a fishing trip south of Trinidad, Colorado. He talked to God, during transport after the heart attack, aged 44, on the ride into Raton, NM. His son reports the story that his dad coded during transport, 1969. He saw God, and God said to him, "You aren't done yet." He did live into his 60's, continuing his important and still discussed work as a Petroleum Engineer.  

Recently we had placed a significant Copper Piece in our breakfast room. The Copper Piece placed in the dining area came from Germany with the Muellers (now Millers, U.S.). W. W.'s wife was the holder of the Mueller Copper Piece until her death in January 2017. Her maiden name was Miller. 

W.W.'s son deems the Copper Piece likely mid-1800's, and he thinks it was a coffee keeper. Inside the Copper Piece are worry beads that W.W. acquired while he was in Greece in the 1960's-70's. We have left the worry beads in the Copper Piece, as that is where they have been for a number of years. W.W. Killingsworth was a Petroleum Engineer and worked all over the world in the 1950's-80's, with the likes of Red Adair, who was immortalized in John Wayne's movie, "Hellfighters."

I think W.W. would say to us today, 48 years later, as we travel the same path as he did when he talked to God, "...never stop fighting. Keep the faith. Live well. Don't worry....let the worry beads take on that task..."
