Footprints
14 May 2003

Three variations on the footprints story

THE ORIGINAL:

There is a famous old story about a man who dreamed he was walking along the beach with God. The beach represented his whole life, and there were two sets of footprints in the sand: his and God's. But at certain points, during the difficult times of his life, there was only one set of footsteps. The man said to God, "Lord, why did You leave me then, when I needed You most?" God replied, "My son, I never left you. Where you see only one set of footprints, that's when I was carrying you."

God replied, "Where you see only one set of footprints, that's when I was flying. I can do that. I am God, after all."

But at certain points, during the difficult times of his life, there was only one set of footprints. The man said to God, "Lord, why did You leave me then, when I needed You most?" Just then, Ashton Kutcher came running out of the ocean. "Dude!" God and Ashton said in unison. "You just got PUNK'D!"

I took you home and made you drink some water, then put you on the couch with a bucket next to your head. You were so wasted."
