Shannon quickly decides that this tape is not for children. Children do not have to be introduced to voodoo. Yet, something draws her to continue to watch it. It is not the interest in the depiction of evil that has her attention, but her empathy and compassion for the afflicted …as they unwillingly face the torment, without hope of deliverance. But there is hope for those seeking and crying out for deliverance.

   She sees the agony of those under the influence of evil.   She sees their desperation and their fears, with no belief that they could ever be  free from it.  But Shannon knows they can be free from the torment.  And she watches with hopeful anticipation for the moment that it will happen.
                  
   And happen it does! The tribal people jump up and down with joy. Shannon’s heart jumps with them in celebration.   There is no joy more true. The pure joy of freedom in Christ, free from the sin and its torment, free to feel the peace that only God can give ...it brings tears to her eyes.
                                                                 
    Moriah finishes inflating the balloons and steps inside the sanctuary with her audience of Leah, Josiah, and Samuel.    Shannon takes out the New Tribes Mission tape as she sees them enter from the hallway.                                                 

   She has another box of tapes beside her. How long has it been?  It's been a couple months shy of three years?  Yes, that’s about right.  That’s how long it’s been since everything went wrong.
                  
   Shannon takes a tape out of the box and puts it in the VCR as Leah, Josiah, and Samuel approach, showing her their balloons. But as the tape begins to play, Leah and Josiah stand motionless, oblivious to the fact that their balloons dance about the ceiling, having escaped their grasp.
                  
   Samuel looks up at the balloons, then back at Leah and Josiah, wondering why they had let their balloons go. Samuel follows their stare at the big screen, then follows suit, releasing his balloon.  His balloon floats to the ceiling, joining the others.
                  
   Cindy enters the sanctuary as Samuel releases his balloon.   She stands motionless as she sees why he had let it go.   Samuel approaches the big screen.  There is something there that Cindy had not released.  Something she had not really let go of ...not only in life, but in death also. It is her seemingly insurmountable struggles with Stephen. Past struggles had become present ones.  She had made all his dreams come true, but she had not helped the children enjoy him.
                  
   On the big screen, is a man whom Samuel has never seen before.  Leah and Josiah are laughing and playing as they view the man they still call, 'Dad'.
                  
   The joy generated between both Leah and Josiah, brings immediate joy to Samuel.  He begins to jump about, whirling and skip-jumping as much as a two-year-old can.
