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.

We do not live on expectations; we live on promises.
Fear is the opposite of faith.
Take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5
For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8 & 9
2 Corinthians 1:11 – 1997
Psalms 27 – 2024
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD. Despite all this, Job did not sin, nor did he blame God. Job 1:21 & 22
Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it. Psalm 37:4,5
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1
When You did awesome things which we did not expect, You came down, the mountains quaked at Your presence. For from days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear, Nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who acts in behalf of one who waits for Him. Isaiah 64:3 & 4

Run the race. What is your finish line?
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, NIV
1. Fixing Eyes on Jesus
Hebrews 12:2 says: “Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.” This passage emphasizes looking to Jesus as the example and source of strength.
2. Setting Minds on Heavenly Things
Colossians 3:2 encourages believers to “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” This refers to focusing on the eternal realities of God’s kingdom rather than the temporary distractions of the world.
This too shall pass.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 emphasizes the idea of seasons for everything in life: “To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.”
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 speaks to the temporary nature of difficulties: “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.”
