To what degree, as I've said above, is the degree to which we take action to stop the violence in our world. But, Jonah's going to get something out of this too. In 1991, I experienced a different, but similar near death experience. I can tell you with complete confidence, that when one experiences this, one is left with a profound understanding of how much time is available in your life. You stop counting your life in years, you count in minutes.
Nothing is more valuable than time.
You tend to intensify your use of it. Because you've cheated death temporarily, the rest of your life becomes a very precious gift. Jonah has, like most of us have, wasted a lot of time in his life, up to this point. I fully expect that is over forever. I believe he will eventually surge back into the world with a new found urgency that will last the rest of his life.
