Summary
Mark was dead. EMS had shocked him three times with no results. 10 Minutes had gone by. One of the men said let's try one more time.
----------
Three years ago, on a road in Billings, Montana, Mark was driving with his wife Carol when his heart suddenly stopped. For ten minutes, there was no pulse. No oxygen. Carol shut off the car, called 911, and followed the dispatcher's instructions until EMS arrived. Three shocks. No response. They were ready to stop.
As we enter Lent and hear, "Remember you are dust…, and to dust you will return" why is the dust sometimes put on pause? And what does that say about God's timing--and ours?
