My Constant

Hello readers!

Today....let me tell you a story.

It goes like this....



One fine day, in the Christmas Eve of 2004,an Oceanic 815 flight Survivor, Desmond David Hume encountered a storm as he was flying in a helicopter to a rescue ship.
After the storm, he started behaving rather bizarrely, proclaiming that he didn't know the people who were with him. The next minute, he found himself in an army camp....awoken by a screaming commander.



It took him a while to realize that he had just travelled back in time to when he was in the army in the year 1996.

He began travelling back and forth in time and became confused.
He knew that something has to stop this!



He made contact with someone named Daniel Faraday.....who told him to remember the number 2.342 and 11. And to take the next train to Oxford University whenever he travelled back in time again.

In 1996, at Oxford University, Desmond met up with Daniel....who was a university professor at that time.

When Desmond said that he had travelled back through time......the professor said ' You need a constant, Desmond'. 'Someone or something you love, which had been with you all this time. You need to make contact with this constant of yours. Only then will your problem be solved.

Indeed, Desmond had a constant. His ex-girlfriend Penelope (Penny) Widmore.
But the problem was, the 2004 Desmond didn't know her phone number!
When he travelled back in time again....the 1996 Desmond got Penny's address and visited her. They just broke up not long ago then, and she wasn't happy to see him. He pleaded with her to just give him her phone no. and to not change her phone no. for 8 years. She thought he was crazy and chased him out of her house....but not before giving him her number.


Meanwhile, back in 2004 in a ship, Desmond called the number Penny mentioned. He dialed the number.....his heart racing. The voice which answered at the other end of the phone was so familiar. It had been several years, but he still missed her so much. She hasn't change her phone number for 8 years! And she actually missed him too!



Soon after that call, everything was alright again, and there was no more time-travel for Desmond.
Penny was Desmond's constant.

The End

Now, my question for you readers is ..... 'If one day, everything else goes wrong, and you find yourself travelling back and forth in time.....who or what would be your constant?'

For me, I initially thought of my constant as being my mum. She is in my past, present and future, and has been and will always be there for me.

But then I thought it over again. There is no guarantee that she will be there for me in the future.....as much as it pains me to say it...
And then....it finally dawned upon me....there is only one person who be there for me always....whether in the past, the present or the future. God. Who is everlasting.

God would be my constant.

Today let me ask you.....who would be your constant should anything go wrong one day?
