This is what happened to me when I was 4 years old, it's a true short story.
I was 4 years old walking in my backyard, me and my sister were going up the stone wall in the backyard. We went to the top of a small hill beside it and I said, "I'm the king of the world!" and taking up the warm summer breeze, then my feet went tippy-toe and like a feather, I fell. My sister tried to grab my hands to drag me up, but missed. I fell on my head and saw a beam of light under me, like the kind you see on a sunny day inside. I landed on my head, I closed my eyes and opened them, I was ok, my mom, dad, and sister looked at me. "Are you ok?" my sister asked. "Yeah." I said, stood up, and got on the swing.
That's my story, I was rescued by our Lord, has this happened to you once?

"God's Wheel"
God says to me with kind of a smile,
"Hey how would you like to be God awhile
And steer the world?"
"Okay," says I, "I'll give it a try.
Where do I set?
How much do I get?
What time is lunch?
When can I quit?"
"Gimme back that wheel," says God,
"I don't think you're quite ready yet."
"Prayer of the selfish child"
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
And if I die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my toys to break.
So none of the other kids can use 'em...
Amen.
