00:00When will you be back? Tomorrow? Not tomorrow. When? As soon as I can. I promise. That kid
00:18is a nightmare. You knew what you were getting into. We talked about this. You could disappear
00:23tomorrow and nobody would even care you were gone. You're not my dad. It's not fair. Well
00:30whoever said life was fair. This is Chris Daniels, one of the administrators at the
00:36Lighthouse Mission where Jackson will be spending his summer. I'd like you to report to my office
00:41every day. My life is so over. You can't run from this. I'm not running. You run from everything.
00:47Hey look, this is the address for the mission, alright? Right over Park Street.
00:56You guys are joking. You might see it that way, but like it or not he believes in you and there's
01:00nothing you can do to change that. Hey everybody, listen up. I want to introduce you to somebody.
01:06This is Jackson.
01:09Jackson? Jackson! Somebody call 9-1-1!
01:22God doesn't need him. I do.
01:26You should never waste an opportunity. God works in some strange ways we don't always understand. He doesn't always answer our prayers when we
01:33want him to or think he should. He just answers them in his own time. You've got to do more with your dash.
01:38My dash? We're all given a beginning date, our birthday, and our death date, the day we die.
01:44Okay, so what? It's the dash between the two. That dash is our life. What you have to decide is what
01:51you're going to do with your dash. I don't claim to know God's plan for you, Jackson. He gives us all the destiny and the
01:57free will to either choose his path or lose it. What do you really, really want? I just want to matter. You were my friend. I trusted you!
02:07I'd always thought my favorite way was to be alone, but I was wrong. I think it's great that you see the importance of giving your life to God.
02:14You've come a long way, man.
02:27So the question is, which path will you choose?
