A young man who had been raised as an atheist
was training
to be an Olympic diver. The only religious influence in his life
came from his outspoken Christian friend. The young diver never
really paid much attention to his friend's sermons, but he heard
them often.
One night the diver went to the indoor pool
at the college he
attended. The lights were all off, but as the pool had big skylights
and the moon was bright, there was plenty of light to practice
by.
The young man climbed up to the highest
diving board and as
he turned his back to the pool on the edge of the board and
extended his arms out, he saw his shadow on the wall. The
shadow of his body in the shape of a cross. Instead of diving,
he knelt down and asked God to come into his life.
As the young man stood, a maintenance man
walked in and
turned the lights on. The pool had been drained for
repairs.
