Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying "This is the way, walk in it," Isaiah 30:31
The words, over my right shoulder, said, "Try one more time." I did and immediately my hand hooked over the inside gutter of the swimming pool, and propelled me out of the deep water to safety. I'd accepted my death without any evidence of regret or fear by drowning and thought those at my funeral would say he was so young. My struggling had kept me down but in giving up, exhausted and gulping water, I'd floated to the top when I heard the words behind me. I was circa fifteen.
