Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4 nkjv

Kate Remington, who is a young adult with long, dark hair and porcelain white skin, is sitting in her seat aboard US Airways flight 27 bound for Denver, Colorado. She's listening to music on her iPad and feeling sleepy. Everything seems normal, the salesman next to her is asleep and quietly snoring. She closes her eyes for a second and when she opens them she's sitting in a fancy brown leather chair in a very large office. It's the type of office you would expect a company CEO or university president to have - there's four tall mahogany bookcases around the office, each filled with old, but expensive-looking books. The mahogany desk in front of her is well over six feet long and virtually empty. The high-back leather chair on the other side of the desk matches hers except it has plush dark-red velvet on the arm-rests. A few seconds after she looks around the office, the door opens and a balding distinguished-looking man enters the room.

He has a tiny bit of white hair, a white mustache and goatee, and is wearing an expensive-looking dark gray business suit. His voice is a rich tenor - and he speaks with a very precise British accent. He sets four books down on the desk and says,

"Welcome Kate. I've waited a very long time for this meeting."

"W-who are you and where am I?" she stammers.

"My name is Gideon and..." he starts, but is cut-off as Kate's chair begins to shake violently. She suddenly wakes up and she's back onboard the Airbus-A321 jet.

The man next to her is still asleep and the stewardess pats her arm reassuredly as she passes by saying,

"It's OK, it's just a little turbulence. We'll be landing in about ten minutes."

Kate puts her iPad away and takes out a book "The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln" and begins to read. She thinks to herself "Jonah gave me this book when I graduated from medical school, but I don't know why. He knows I hate history."

Suddenly she hears a "beep, beep, beep..." sound and it sounds like it's coming from the jet's cockpit. "I've heard that beeping before" she thinks "Michael's little brother would always play a flight simulator game when she was at their house. That was the sound it made when the jet was in trouble. Are we going to crash?!?" Then the beeping starts to get closer and she realizes that it's not the plane's warning system, but her alarm-clock!

Kate, a six-year-old now, wakes up in her bed in their house in Red Oak, Pennsylvania, stretches and climbs out of bed. Her mom, Mae, calls from the kitchen,

"Honey, you need to eat breakfast and get ready for school — it's a big day!"

"Why again, mom?" Kate asks.

"Tonight is your first Christmas pageant!" calls back her mom.

"Oh yea..." thinking to herself "The trio... I'm nervous already. I don't want to forget the words!"
