Listen to my story
The story of my accident, founding a Christian music website and why I’m pro-life.
I was nineteen when I broke my neck in Canada. At the time I was diagnosed with a C2 complete spinal cord injury which meant I had nothing. I couldn’t move, breathe or feel anything. All I could do was blink. The doctor there was sure to inform my parents that I would never regain anything. He tried to convince them that “pulling the plug” was the only reasonable option. I wanted to live, even with so much loss. The doctor wasn’t going to ask my wishes though. The hospital was a organ donor hospital, and I was young, healthy and athletic. More valuable dead than alive.
I’m very pro-life, for several reasons. I don’t know what it’s like to be a child in the womb about to be “terminated” but I do know how it feels to be unwanted. It’s a horrible feeling. My body in pieces would have meant more than the complete person that God had created me to be.. I wasn’t going to be given a choice. My desire to live meant nothing. I would have in effect been terminated. Thankfully, my parents said no.
Before my accident in ’97 I had played guitar. Music was everything to me. I loved to write songs and sing. At that time in my life I had been saving up money to join a group doing missionary work, mostly through music. I obviously didn’t make it and would never sing again. However, God is faithful and good. I have regained a lot of neurological function that doctors said would never be possible. I still remain mostly disabled.
Since I loved guitar and singing so much but could no longer do either one I decided to get involved in music in a different way. So in March of 2009, I redirected my two great loves – God and music – into a site dedicated to both. I guess I will always be addicted to Jesus, and the music that glorifies Him.– Kevin Thorson (kevin@cmaddict.com)
Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day. For our momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Cor. 4:16-18
More of my story:
As a young Christian, Kevin Thorson was a normal, healthy 19-year-old. Music was his life, and he planned to play his guitar and use his talents for God. Abruptly, all seemed to end July 11, 1997.
His mother recalls the words from that dreaded phone call: Pam, you need to sit down . . . Kevin has been in an accident . . . paralyzed . . . ventilator . . . hospital . . . She could only comprehend the bits in between those horrifying words. Kevin was lying paralyzed on a ventilator in a foreign country with a broken neck.
Pam Thorson, with painful openness, recounts the true story of her family’s nightmare as they struggled to live out their faith in the face of impossible odds. Song of the Night traces the journey of her family to find peace in the midst of so much darkness.
