You go down the Tiger Trail.
This trail leads to the bleakest, barrenest areas of the mountains. No longer is the way brightened up by beautiful flowers and verdent green grass. Only stark grey stone, huge jutting boulders, a dull grey sky and the sense of great danger are there to surround you!
The rumbling of distant thunder comes closer and closer until you are caught up in a violent thunder storm...
|
|
Both you and your faithful steed, Gnorts, plough on through the heavy rain. You know this is the way Emmanuel is beckoning you. There is danger, but you are safe if you trust in Him! |
As every thunderclap resonates through the dull atmosphere, you have flashes of the terrible night when the hooded men came. It seems to be coming clearer now. You see your house interior. Your spouses face. Your children. You can almost hear the laughter being shattered as the thunder booms once again. You can almost see the hooded men breaking in through the window. You can see the flash of the gun as you leap in front of your family to protect them. Strangely, the memory seems less painful now - there is a hope. There is a future. It is found in following His way for you, no matter how difficult and painful that may be. He is the way!
|
As you are contemplating these things, suddenly, from out of the heavy rain, seemimgly tearing through the landscape infront of you, comes a leaping tiger.. The tiger roars with the thunder and is leaping straight at you and Gnorts. You have no time to draw your sword. |
|
What will you do?
- Prepare to die!
- Stand still and pray for Emmanuel to help.
- Charge away back to the Rabbit Trail.
- Charge away back to the Beautiful Woman Trail.
- Prepare to hand wrestle the tiger.
