1918

"That is just so..."says Erik..."So...."... "Weird?" says Carl. "Well, that too.  You were in a coma?" "After that incident in the Lion's Gate Bridge with Sven, the next thing I recalled was waking up in bed in the mansion, and there was Jesus, but I didn't know it was Jesus, just this beautiful shining kid with the most caring smile and powerful eyes I have ever seen." "You lived there all this time, Kenny?", say I. "Yes and no.  I had to start a new life and a new identity, as Benjamin Butterfield, but in Duncan I'm still Kenny." "How did that happen?" says Carl. "It is hard to explain.  Part of it is that within hours of being there. with Jesus in his mansion, it starts to fade like a dream and after a few days it is simply a vaguely remembered dream.  And then, not knowing what I am doing, I leave the flower shop in the capable hands of my business partner, get in my car and then drive to that beach in Saanich, and then.. no. I can't say any more.  it is starting to fade." "Does the same thing happen to Amaris?" say I. "Letitia.  No. Amaris.  It is all starting to fade.  Christopher, please, could we just leave it for now" "what's happening?" "Better to leave it.  It's all fading and fast.  Except for Jesus.  He said before we left that he would be always with us.  This I remember, but nothing else.  In fact, he is here in this car, though we can't see him-... he is always here.  Jesus is the Always Here..." "The Great I Am is also the great Always Here", quips Carl.  "What about you, Chris.  Do you remember where we were?" "We were overnight guests with Jesus and his elderly parents.  It was so wonderful.  Erik, do you remember?" "He showed me his wounds.  Now I believe." "Kenny", say I.  "We still remember.  Does this help you?" "It might.  It just might  We need to get hold of Amaris...hey, let me tell you all about my life in Duncan..."
