August elections offer best chance to give Kenya resurrection power

A valley of dry bones is a scene best cast in a horror movie.  Prophet Ezekiel found himself as an actor in that horror scene. Consumed with flight and fear, a chilling voice from an invisible being poses a question to him, “Can these bones live?” His mind is frozen and incapable of clear thought so he responds “Only you would know.”  The questioning voice provides a strong response - fierce winds blow into the valley from all directions.

The horror rating rises to become more horrific as bones are sent flying from all corners of the valley. The bones – seemingly fitted with some sensors – do not land until they find a fitting socket. The complete skeletons are then enfleshed waiting for the enlivening breath. And the breath does come. The bones turned skeletons then turned into bodies now stand - alive.  Dramatic indeed!  Such is just a fraction of what makes up a resurrection.
