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 was 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.
