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 shear1 cliff and about 900 feet from the floor of the canyon2 below. If he should slip again he'd plummet3 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?
