Chapter 7 - Page 85 - Jim's Promise

   Rhasha and her parents heard every word Jim said. Thamish and Thasha could see the blue glow expanding out from Jim and Rhasha until it filled the whole room.

   “Father, I promise never to hurt Rhasha again. If I do, I pray you will punish me severely.”

   When Jim heard himself make this promise to God, he realized what he’d promised Rhasha. Jim hesitated as he thought about the words he’d said to her.

After a few seconds, it faded away. Sparks flashed from Rhasha’s eyes, like sparklers on the Fourth of July. Jim stood up and backed away from the bed. He knew God was performing a miracle for Rhasha. As he and her parents watched, sparks flashed all over Rhasha’s body. Lightning-like streaks shot out in several directions. The flashes finally stopped. Rhasha lay quietly on her bed.

Slowly Rhasha’s body was elevated until she hovered twelve inches above her bed. She floated away from the bed to hang in the air, about thirty-six inches above the floor. As she levitated, her body slowly began to rotate until she was in an upright position with her feet six inches above
