CLASSIC. JERRY, JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS WAS
DOING SOMETHING THAT HE HAD
DONE SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE.
HE TOOK HIS OLD FRIEND MACK OUT
DUCK HUNTING.
DUCK HUNTING. THEY WOULD GET UP IN THE DARK,
VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING, TAKE
THE DOG AND JERRY WOULD TAKE
HIS FRIEND OFF TO GO DUCK
HUNTING.

HUNTING. JERRY IS A FISHERMAN.
HE KNOWS THE WATER VERY WELL.
IT IS ABOUT EIGHT FEET DEEP
UNTIL YOU GET TO THE CHANNEL
AND THEN IT DROPS OFF.
ON THIS MORNING, JUST A FEW
WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, HE HAD
NO IDEA HOW HE HAD GOTTEN INTO
THIS PREDICAMENT. HE HAD NEVER
CHECKED THE WEATHER.
THEY GOT OUT, ALMOST TO THE
CHANNEL AND A NOOR WESTER CAME
AND TOOK THAT BOAT AND UPENDED
IT.
IT.
IT. THEY
IT. THEY WERE IN THE WATER.
ALL HE HAD IN THE BOAT WAS A 10
FOOT POLE.

ONTO.

AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE SAY
HOLD ON TO THE POLE AND HE
WOULD LET THE DOG REST A LITTLE
BIT AND THEN THIS WENT ON FOR
AN HOUR AND A HALF.
THEN HE REALIZED THAT THEY WERE
GOING TO DIE THERE BECAUSE NOT
ONE BOAT HAD COME UP THAT
CHANNEL.
CHANNEL.

DAY.

WAS COMING OR THAT THEY WERE
GOING TO GET TO SHORE.
DO YOU REMEMBER -- HE
REMEMBERED A TIME THAT HERS --
HIS SISTER TRIED TO TALK TO HIM
ABOUT GOD AND HE CAUGHT HER
FRUITCAKE.

DIE AND HE THOUGHT, WHAT CHOICE
DO I HAVE?
HE SAID ALL RIGHT ARE YOU UP
THERE, GOD?
THERE, GOD? PLEASE SEND BOAT IF YOU ARE UP
THERE.

US A SECOND CHANCE.
NOT TWO MINUTES LATER, HE SAW
WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS A CROSS
COMING THROUGH THE MIST.
IT WAS THE MAST OF A BOAT.
HE SAID MAC, HOLD ONTO ME.
HE SHOULD -- TOOK HIS SHIRT OFF
AND WAVED IT IN THE AIR.
THEY SEE US, THEY ARE COMING.

HIS LIFE.

YEARS AGO WHEN I FIRST CAME TO
HOUSTON THERE WAS A MAN ASKING
FOR CHANGE ON THE CORNER.
WE SEE THAT A LOT AND SOMETIMES
WE PASSED BY.

AND MAKE MY WAY BACK.
WHEN YOU GO AROUND, THAT'S A
COMMITMENT.

MONEY.
