Above the mile river, a fair man stood gazing into oblivion. Only one thought occupied his mind. Suicide.

Jumping from this 1.2km long bridge in order to end the stabbing ache in his chest. Once and for all.

It is true that when ones death is impending, the universe would play a kaleidoscopic film of ones life as a reminder that karma was once an accountant or Is he??

The torrent of events in the past week comes cascading down on David like a crazy tsunami. A big contrast to the peaceful scenery the mile river insinuated.

Anyone who spares him a glance would not be wrong to group him amongst the tourists who always visited this exact same spot.

How wrong a conjunction that would be!

David takes a front row seat and allows the universe entertain him with the scenes from his past.

Bambi his childhood sweetheart had left him stranded at the alter on his wedding day and Within the next two days, she had gotten married to someone else.

Yes, she had gotten married to her pastor!

Who would be willing to live on after that?

Who?

David could feel his eyes weighing up with unshed tears . Its a miracle he still has any tear left even. He had promised himself not to cry.

All the plenty times you told me you loved me. Liar!

I had built my world around you. Liar!

You swore not to ever leave me. Liar Liar!!

David stared at the calmly moving river underneath him.How can you be so peaceful?

Channelling all his inward grieve and using it as a pivot, David plunged himself into the river. His death bed.

Bambi wrapped her arms round the waist of the Man she had Just married. Distracting him slightly as He prepared his Sunday sermon.

John 10: 10 ...I have come in order that you may have life and have it more abundantly "

Pastor Mrs...

She smiled inwardly. It sounded so much better than her previous moniker 'Choir Mistress'

This is indeed the abundant life Jesus talks about.

Only yesterday, she had gotten a surprised call from the wife of the G.O!

Who could have guessed something like that happening 1week ago...

In December when the headquarters would host her biannual women's conference she was confident she would be one of the first to get an invite . She might even be made a speaker!

Excitement gushed through her like an open dam.

This is the abundant life that Jesus talked about. A life of relevance and purpose.

Exactly 8days ago, she had boarded an 'Okada' to church. And now, with her Husband in charge of this Money spinning branch, she felt positive it would only a matter of time now before she got her own Car.

"Honey why don't you pause for a minuteExcitement gushed through her like an open dam.
