total trust: a story

"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, whose sermons the diver never really paid much attention to but simply heard them often.

One bright night the diver went to the indoor pool at the college he attended. He 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 the cross-shaped shadow of his body on the wall. Feeling as if someone was speaking to him, he knelt down, instead of diving, and finally asked God to come into his life. As he stood up, a maintenance man waked in and turned the lights on. The pool had been drained for repairs."
