Southern Baptist Hospital.  Room 666 on the sixth floor.  Fifty-five year old Darius Underwood lies on a hospital bed with a breathing tube down his throat.  He has been in a coma for six days.
The body of Darius is dead and on life-support.  But his mind, soul and spirit are very much alive.  But not in the real world.  Dreams never die.
Flashback....the day of birth.  No one chooses to be born.  No one chooses their parents.  No one chooses their life circumstances....how they look, where they will be raised.  They say...it was already written.

Who wrote the script for the life of the person given the name Darius?  Who or what decided that he should be black and ugly as ever?  That he should be raised in a poverty-stricken, crime-infested ghetto?  That he should be fatherless and asthmatic.  That he should spend 15% of his childhood struggling to just breathe fresh air.
Human beings call this who or what.....GOD!

Who is this mystery GOD?   Something we cannot see, hear, taste, touch or smell.  Yet we believe that GOD does exist in reality.   Where was GOD when the car driven by Darius went out of control and slammed into a tree causing Darius to hit his head violently which rendered him unconscious?  Was it the same GOD who decided that some other person, not Darius, would be born handsome, healthy and wealthy in a wholesome family, raised to be blessed with all the finer things in life?

One GOD......controlling billions of different lives and circumstances....good, bad and ugly.  Really?  Is this one GOD controlling the person laying in the bed in a coma on life support in a hospital on the sixth floor in room 666?
