There was no way he could climb back up the steep cliff; neither could he hang on much longer. No wonder that a single glance at the canyon’s 1,000 foot drop, elicited a frantic cry for help.
After calling for some time, a responding voice could finally be heard: “Jake? Is that you there?
“Yes, yes, it is I! Where are you, I can’t see you?
”I am the Lord, Jake. I'm everywhere.“
”Oh G-d, is that really You?
“Yes son, as much as it’ll ever be!”
