Written Confession: Jesus Looks On From the Clouds

The following written confession was submitted via email:

When I was 4, I was playing in our yard in a very small town in Central NY. My mom was hanging up laundry on the line and I remember looking up in the sky and seeing who I KNEW was Jesus standing in the clouds. The clouds were very fluffy and the sky was a beautiful blue. He looked just like the paintings in the old family Bibles, so I knew who it was. He was wearing the classic white robe and red sash, and he had long hair. I can’t remember if he had facial hair. I don’t remember if I told my mom what I saw, but I can still picture everything like it was yesterday. I’ve always known God was real and it has definitely been the compass of my life and actions.

When I was in upper elementary school, my dad and I were sitting in front of our garage in lawn chairs one evening. We moved to this home shortly after I saw Jesus in the clouds. It was situated in a valley outside of Cortland, NY. It was dark and there were so many stars! We saw a blinking light on the horizon just above the hills to the left side of the valley. Suddenly it shot to the right side of the valley and it was gone. I’ve never seen anything move that fast! I always known there was more to our world and cosmos than we’re being taught in church, and I’m hungry for more! Thank you for what you do!
