While writing the previous piece, I remembered this lil story I had in my collection. Seems sort of a continuation and maybe a further reinforcement of my fundas..so what the heck, here it is, to be enjoyed and appreciated by all like-minded people, to be simply read and forgotten by the non-believers and to be pondered upon by the moderates.

There was a mountaineer who went trekking at high altitudes..He went to dangerous heights and took up the challenges the mountains posed. Once this friend of ours was out in snow, at great heights, in peak cold......and he slipped!!
Down he went...and as he fell he had flashes of his life...all good times he had.....bad times...his wife...children...parents... friends.. he remembered them all.
As he was falling he felt a jerk...a he was hanging in the air. He had been a good mountaineer and so he happened to have tied himself to a rope.
Now he was hanging in air...all exhausted.....no tools...almost dark...and it was very chilly.
He prayed to the God and said.."Lord,save me! "
The Lord spoke to him and said..." My dear son, do u really think i can save you?"
"Yes Lord, you can" he replied. Lord again asked..Do you have faith in me"
"Yes"...our friend responded. " I have faith in you,Lord."
"Okay", said the Lord..."cut the rope."
Now our friend was bewildered..."Nooo!!" he exclaimed...I won't cut the rope..I am scared!!"
Lord again said... "Cut the rope, my son, listen to me" .
"No ..I won't" was the answer..."I WON'TCUT THE ROPE!!".
Ten days later...the rescue team found the body of our friend.. frozen to death...he was hanging...tied to the rope..............just two feet above the ground!!

Bottomline: If You Believe In God...Have Faith in HIM too.....And if you don't believe in God, try placing an iota of faith in HIM. He won't disappoint you!!
