When we were in Europe filming our Third Season for our TV program, we had a member of our team escape from a straight jacket while wearing chains. It was a great way to illustrate that we are chained to death and Hell by our sins. Recently a genuine escape artist wrote to me and offered his services. He loves the Lord and is brilliant. He can get out of three sets of handcuffs in seconds. He appeared on an ABC special jumping from a plane while handcuffed. We are considering using him for our Fifth season, due to be filmed late in 2008. He gave a couple of interesting scenarios, so I wrote back with one of mine: “How about we put you into a straight jacket, chained, handcuffed, bound, hooded, gagged, soaked in gasoline, set on fire, thrown from a plane at 10,000 feet into a pit filled with viscous crocodiles, poisonous snakes, scorpions, spiders, sharks, fire ants, killer bees, and lawyers? From there you preach.” He replied, “Drop the lawyers and I will do it.”
