From the chaos of this marriage, I left his house after high school to live with my grandparents. I attended Lakeland College where I received a two-year Associates degree in Machine shop. I entered the workforce searching for a career. A couple of jobs later, I went to work for a printing company, RR Donnelley, north of Mattoon. I worked there over twenty-three years before an accident on 9/11/2002 that left me disabled.

At RRD, I learned the direction my life would follow. Many call it materialism, yet for me, I never knew it had a name, so I excepted it as my best friend. However, it did control my life, and it did control my thoughts. As for everything else in the American lifestyle, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life, my friend never saw a problem with that. During this part of my life, I was too busy to think. I did what any driven American can do when one goes from being very poor, to having money: I bought. The more I bought, the more I worked. This merry-go-round is easy to jump on, but to get off, this takes intervention.

I left for work the evening of 9/10/2002, as an atheist. The next morning, I left work in a hurry to get home because I was running later than usual. The one-year anniversary of the terrorist attack on America that changed the landscape of our world, was about to change mine. I was in a hurry to get home to kiss my wife goodbye before she left for work. In that hurried state to get home, I hit a car with my motorcycle at 7:18 AM.

The accident was so violent on the body, there was no way for me to live outside of a miracle. That miracle found me in a coma. I came out of a six-week coma knowing God. The message I carried directly from Him is what matters to you now.

I ran from God for more than twenty-two years after He audibly spoke to me. As a TBI survivor, I did not think I was worthy to serve God. In my running, God allowed much pain in my life. I document and explain this difficult journey.

Life is very complicated, yet I explain everything in my first book: Two Hearts One Man, God’s Story Within by Andrew J Trueblood. This story will challenge your Americanized faith, that is, if you claim one. I wrote this book in the third person, why? How do you write about two completely different people who have occupied the same body?

As you read this book, you will learn of a desperate plea from God for your soul. As the Psalmist says in 46:10—“Be still and know that I am God” We don’t know who that writer was, but we do know this: he, or she, had no social media to contend with. “Be still” in our culture. How is that possible? I found mine in the pain.

Much like our faith, the person who penned this chapter in the Book of Psalms is unknown. It was written through tough times; this we do know. We are currently living with extreme uncertainty. So, you need to ask yourself a simple question: where is my faith? If it were an object, where would you place it? Is it much like the bio of my life?

Until one cool morning in September many years ago, I never knew that I could live forever. Now that I know, my life will do its best to bring glory to God.  As your friends read the bio of your life, will it indicate to whom you belonged? Is your life destined to become more than a question mark for your soul?

When asked to write the bio of my life, I found it difficult. When you have been two completely different individuals who have occupied the same body, it becomes a challenge. This would normally translate as a mental illness, but when God is involved, it becomes about faith. If you desire to understand how God works, you have to look at the work done by the Man in the middle (—Jesus Christ—)

For 45 years, 8 months, and 5 days, I never knew who I was. As for the last 23 years, five months, and 2 days, I have been trying to run from a foreign world where I do not fit in. It is now November 13, 2026, and God explained something very important to me last night in my dreams. Above all else, He wants us to worship Him through prayer—a lot of prayer.  

In Acts 2:17, God says at the end of this verse: “your old men will dream dreams.” That is a fact. At the beginning of this verse, does God give a vision into our future: “In the last days.”

Are the END TIMES upon us?

Another question you may ask—are heaven and hell real? I can assure you they are.

Allow God, WHO IS LOVE, to show you “who He wants you to become.” Your Bio is waiting to be written, so allow God to help you write it.   

God has much to say to you through my years of running from Him.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart

and

with all of your soul

and

with all of your mind

and

with all of your strength.” (Mark 12:30 NIV)

the before bio—is who I once was

the after bio—a person God chose me to be.
