No Other Rock

Suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing and might wind. ~ Acts 2:2

I want to tell you about a dream I had the night before last.

I really don’t know the circumstance, but I was riding in a full size train car with every single one of my possessions. This train was seemingly endless, and for all the distance, there were others just like me. They were in their car with their possessions.

It was really quite crazy. All the cars were black and the track zigzagged and swirled for as far as the eye could see. There was no visible engine and I had no idea where this thing was leading.

And then, without warning, a violent wind ripped through the land. Without a second thought, I lunged from my car and tried to find a ditch somewhere off the track because I was certain it was a massive tornado. My only thought was that all my “stuff” was long gone, but I had to stay grounded and hope that a black train car didn’t land on me.

The wind was fierce and scary (one of the few times I can ever recall being scared in a dream). luckily, I was able to grasp onto a circular garden stepping stone - the type that sell for about $1.50 in the lawn and garden area at most retail stores. It was a little pebble in comparison to the terrifying wind - but I was calm in gripping it.

I shouted to the guy who was riding in the car behind me. He was a total stranger and visibly panic-stricken. I say that there were many other circular stones along the path of the track. I shouted for him to grab hold of one - and he did. I saw him regain composure and felt good that we would make it through.

Just then, a though was placed in my head . . . “Now. Aren’t you glad you planted those stones there?”

Whoa!

“Today, my prayer for you and I is that we will forget about our stuff and plant living stones to save others.”
