			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was recently at a business function at a local swimming pool; the same that I used to swim in as a child. While there I took notice of the diving boards that I remembered jumping off of. There are two diving boards, a low one and a high one. Back then the “high dive” absolutely terrified me. I distinctly remember the fear I used to have jumping off of that diving board; so much so that I prayed to God each time I climbed that ladder and walked to the edge of the board. “Please,” I asked, “see me through this.”</p>
<p>While I still have issues with heights I have to admit looking at that “high” diving board at present didn’t necessarily impress me all that much. Inside I shook my head in disbelief at the child who thought it was so big a deal that his very survival depended on praying each time.</p>
<p>In our personal lives sometimes Jesus brings us to the cross road. The place where we need to change course and walk in faith. I’m going through that right now and I can admit that it can be scary. I have been praying, “Please, see me through this.”</p>
<p>I’ve been thinking about that diving board and feeling that, twenty-five years from now, I’ll look back and shake my head at the man I am now and say, “why were you so worried over something as little as that?”</p>
