Faith

He thought for sure he was going to die, but he remember learning as a child: when you're in trouble call on God.
So he called up to Heaven, "Lord are you up there?"
A few seconds go by and not a word from heaven.
The man calls again, "Lord are you up there?" And again the lord did not response.
This time the man made a promise to God, "if you are there I will serve you if you help me."
The Lord responded and said, "my son do you trust me?"
"Yes," replied the man.
The Lord ask him again, "my son do you trust me"?
"Yes I do", replied the man.
God said, "let the branch go."
A few seconds of silence go by, and the man yelled, "is there anybody else up there?"
