[little jeremiah]

On Big Island, early 80s, Kalapana beach. Notorious for undertow. Covered with lava now. I was a pretty good swimmer, used to swimming in good sized waves. Went out with about 2 dozen other people in the water, not even over my head, swimming around. Noticed I was being pulled swiftly away from everyone out to sea, to the side, tried my very best to swimm fast. No luck. Waves pulled me under and soon I was in a washing machine being bounced on the bottom, banging into the sand over and over. I knew in a few seconds my lungs would fill with water and I was utterly helpless.

I prayed, “My Dear Lord, if You want me to live, please save me. If you want to take me, please protect me”. Not out loud, was instantaneous. I saw a beautiful vision and within seconds was thrown out by the waves onto a spit of rocks. dozens of yards down the beach. I was a bit bruised and trembling but managed to walk back to my friends.

What if you died that day and this is all just a dream?
