A classmate, Dr. C.B. Billingsley, shared this story with Ann and I at the class reunion.. I think it is an amazing story about how God can work. C.B. grew up in a Christian setting and church. As is often the case, in his adult years he began to search other religions to see if he had missed something. He examined the Eastern religions and Islam. None of them gave him the satisfaction he was seeking.
In Medical school he was assigned a cadaver for his study. He named her Helen. He told us that as he saw the intricate workings of the human body it was like a light came on. He said that it had to be our Creator God behind it all! His faith blossomed and today at 78 he is not only active in his practice, but an amazingly energetic Christian. He laughed and said, "I owe it to Helen!".
C.B. was in internal medicine/cardiology, but went back to school and became an ophthalmologist. He is doing laser surgery on the eye. C.B. said most people would rather lose a limb than an eye. He hauled loads of diapers and other things to help the 400 persons his church housed at Lafayette, Louisiana, after Katrina. He and his wife make their home in Ardmore, OK.
