A man was walking in the mountains just enjoying the scenery
when he stepped too close to the edge of the mountain
and started to fall. In desperation he reached out and
grabbed a limb of a gnarly old tree hanging onto the
side of the cliff.
Full of fear he assessed his situation. He was about 100
feet down a shear cliff and about 900 feet from the floor
of the canyon below. If he should slip again he'd plummet
to his death.
Full of fear, he cries out, "Help me!" But
there was no answer. Again and again he cried out but to
no avail. Finally he yelled, "Is anybody up there? "
A deep voice replied, "Yes, I'm up here."
"Who is it?"
"It's the Lord"
"Can you help me?"
"Yes, I can help."
"Help me!"
"Let go."
Looking around the man became full of panic. "What?!?!"
"Let go. I will catch you."
"Uh... Is there anybody else up there?"
