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.
