Its one of those sounds where you in the instance you snap your head around you think “I have no clue what that was”, and “what I am about to see will change the course of my day”… One of those sounds you are afraid is a gunshot or a bomb.
You hear it but cannot move to look.
You still see blackness…
You hear silence…
Then you feel the easy caress on your forehead and a gentle voice telling you to wake up!
It’s the first thing you’ve actually ever heard and you somehow know what it means. Your body reacts and rises only to lay eyes on a man who is standing at the edge of the cliff next to what looks like a bridge. A wide bridge leading to nowhere… well to where you can’t see.
“Take my hand and I will take you to a place where you will be alive forever”
Your second official sentence is understood…
As you step over other bodies toward Him you wonder why He hasn’t woken them.
“Will You wake them too?”
He tilts His head and smiles gesturing for you to come and take His hand. You look and it has a nasty scar…one of those that rises out of the skin and you feel its prominence as you hold His hand. He notices your discomfort right away…
“It earned me the right to come get you”
“oh”
You pick up your foot to step onto the bridge…
“You may want to come back here”, He says
“What?”
“You will accuse me of taking you nowhere, you will be afraid that I will push you off my bridge, and you will look back and want to lie there again where it seems easier”
His prediction is almost insane, yet you feel like it could actually happen so you tell 99 percent of the truth…
“No I won’t, I trust You”
And your journey begins
Sorry my illustration is so long and could be longer…I think I have proved my point. I think it may be better than a cartoon and self starting people good enough to make the holiest of all choices.

Aaron, you look like Tom Hanks in Castaway in your picture. Is that a puppet? Let me tell you, last night Adam IN-SIS-TED that I add you and Mikey back as links on our blog, but I kept putting it off because I thought you weren't blogging anymore! And here you are...okay, you're back on. :)
