He went through a period
in his life when he questioned the existence of miracles. Not anymore…
There was a time when
he dismissed nightmares as the product of an overactive imagination. Not anymore…
Not so long ago, he
believed he had seen all there was to see and lived all there was
to live. Now, he knew that wasn’t true.
Challenges he had experienced
in the past were expected and planned for. Not this
time…
Kevin Richardson had
found himself in the midst of a true life and death situation. It was part ‘Survivor’, except that there were no cameras
and it was part ‘Lord of the Flies’, except that this wasn’t fiction. Before the ordeal ended, however, Kevin Richardson would
have gained the wisdom to realize several things.
He would realize that primitive instinct lies just beneath
the skin. He would recognize that fate is frightening, horrible,
beautiful and uncontrollable. He would know
that he has strength. He would experience
the satisfaction of respect. He would know
what is important. He would learn that God laughs at our human plans and expectations
and is always ready to throw us a few surprises. Love born of good times is easy and fleeting. Love born of bad times is lasting and strong.
This is Kevin’s diary
of an event that would change his life and outlook forever. It is also the journal of a woman he would have never met
had God not laughed.
