July 29
I ‘m 17 and the
waterfront director at a Boy Scout camp. The counselors had left the water for
lunch. My assistant reports there is still a name tag on the board.I begin a lost swimmers search.
On my fourth dive I see the body several feet below me. I
gasp, lose my air and resurface. My
heart is pounding.
I take a deep breadth and dive straight down, arms extended.
As I near the bottom I see that the body is a towel draped over some rocks. When I surface
my assistant is walking on the dock and tells me our missing person is at the
dinning hall. My reaction is how heaven feels about a new believer.
"Rejoice with me for I have found my sheep which was
lost." (Luke 15:6)
