What was it that moved Lucas to explore this unknown territory of time-travel, anyway? Could it be that he had actually done it before and was now realizing the familiar ground he found himself on
was a place he had been before? There was something about these woods that was familiar or felt
that way to him. The smells, the trees looked familiar and even the rocks along the edge of the long line of trees seemed 'normal' to him. He had to ask himself, why that was?

    Walking rather cautiously through the thick brush, Lucas scanned the forest for anything or any-
body that didn't look 'right'. Anything that didn't 'belong' there. He knew. He could tell if there was
a tree, a branch or flat area that wasn't consistent with what he remembered. Maybe he had been here before.  Just maybe he had!

    It would be nightfall soon and Lucas realized he was alone and unprepared for the cold that would come! He had to find some shelter somewhere and a place he could feel safe, if he came across anything that wasn't exactly friendly. "No telling what's in here, that's for sure!", he heard himself say. "I guess if I need to, I can put something together like MacGyver and defend myself! Too bad I don't have some duct tape and chewing gum to help me out." MacGyver would be proud of his
idea, anyway.

    As the reader, maybe you too have wandered into that mysterious place. Maybe you have asked the question...could it be possible to travel through the confines of time and space? Einstein could have been right, couldn't he!?  To journey from once instance in time to another!  Wow, what a concept!
All we need to perform this greatest-of-all-adventures is a vast imagination!

    Let the adventure begin, or, maybe it has begun..already.

   Looking at my own life I realize that this subject has occupied much of it and that I have memory's
of being fascinated with time-travel since my childhood.  Why?  This subject even brings out some
emotional response inside me!  Maybe, if you will permit me to muse, I am entangled with the subject because I am 'meant' to take part in it, if it is indeed possible. I don't know and I don't want to come across as a little narcissistic or deranged! Its just that the possibility of actually traveling throughout the confines of space/time is such a personal idea for me.  I cant explain it.

   It would be easy to say that my mind has been strongly influenced by sci-fi shows like Star Trek (my favorite, I admit) and Dr.Who but that's not even close!  Its a belief, as strong as any I have and
I am convinced that, in someway, I am 'locked in' and headed headlong into the mystery of time-travel!  What an adventure!  Just imagine on your own the ramifications and alternative realities that may have already been created because someone somewhere has accomplished the impossible!

    Back to the distant past. Ahead into the unseen future. Wow, what an epic idea! One thing is very certain..the only way time-travel can be a reality is by the permission and permissive will of Almighty God! Period!  Man wants to take the credit but there are just some things that can only come through the power and sovereignty of God!

    As Lucas has done, lets ride along with him on the winding rivers of time.  Who knows, maybe we will meet ourselves.
