And one by one, the soft droplets fell.........and in time, they turned to a gentle rain — and after a while it was a spring shower.........

but before long................

the rains poured and the skies opened and the flood gates burst...............pounding rhythmically................

And the man stepped out on his front porch — nothing more than a small cement slab with two steps leading up — and he sat in his plastic chair...........just watching for hours this symphony of water..........

Before his eyes, the street were covered with water..........inch by inch, the water rose — it was indeed a site to behold — like a pool being filled.........and calmly he sat........................

And up the street drove a truck............the driver poked his head out the window and shouted to the man — “hey........come on and hop in.............this rain is not going to stop anytime soon and the flooding has already started — everybody’s leaving — I’ll take you to safety”..........

And the man called back — “ it’s all right..........I know God and I’m with God — he’ll protect me..........I’m in no danger..........I’m safe and I’ll be just fine............but thanks” — and he waved to the driver with a smile..................and he watched as the truck disappeared into a curtain of water..............

And water rose before his eyes — covering his little porch — and as he hung out the front window of his livingroom, he watched as the rains washed the plastic chair down what use to be the street.............

So high had the water rose that a boat motored it’s way up the street — and the driver, seeing the man in the window shouted, “come on friend — come aboard — I’ve got room.........these rains are going to keep falling — I’ll take you to safety”...........

And the man called back — “No worries...........I’ll be safe — God is watching over me and He will keep me safe............I have known Him for a long time.........I’m safe and I’ll be just fine.........but thanks”...............and he waved to sailor with a smile..........and watched as the boat sped away.............

You guessed it — the rains kept coming and the water kept rising — and the man ended up on the roof of his house............

And sure enough — a helicopter hovered above him and dropped a ladder — and the pilot shouted down to him — “climb up the ladder and I’ll take you to safety.........your house is going to be under water in no time”

And the man called back — “you go on...........everything is going to be fine and I will be safe because God watches over me and will raise me up and keep me safe..........I’m safe and I’ll be just fine..........but thanks”..............and he waved to the pilot with a smile........and watched the helicopter fly away............

...........and the man died............you guessed — he drown...........


And the man walked through the gates of heaven, he was greeted by God............

After a moment......and looking quizzical, the man shook his head...and cleared his throat......looked up and asked................

“God — I have tried to be a good man......live a good life......follow you and treat all as I believed you would have wanted”............

“Yes — you did...........you did all these things..........and so very much more”, God replied.

“Well then why did you take me...........why didn’t you save me — I was sure that I would be saved — why didn’t you send me a miracle”...........

God looked...........and stared........and then laughed out loud — “For pete sake, ya big dummy --- what the hell did ya want — I sent not one but three — I sent ya truck..............a boat .............and a helicopter for God’s sake — how many damn miracles did ya want.....................what the hell did ya expect — sound effects and light shows !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”..................
