So I steal myself.

Look to the sky one last chance.

Answer me.

Then I drop to my knees, bow my head, and I pray to my own graven image.

Today on Snap Judgment, we proudly present something sacred.

My name is from Washington.

All that glitters is not aluminum when you're listening to Snap Judgment.

We begin headed out to sea to meet Jordan.

Now Jordan is fresh out of bootcamp and doing his very first unit with the Coast Guard on board a ship patrolling the waters off the East Coast.

I'm gonna let Jordan take it from here.

Jordan, thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your story.

The original score for that piece was by Lauren Newsome.

It was produced by Zoe Frigno.

On Snapchat Returns, we wake up the gods.

Stay tuned.

Welcome back to Snap Judgment, the Something Sacred episode.

Featuring amazing stories from Snap's evil twin podcast, Spooked.

Our question, how do you wake a god?

Our next story begins on a spring night in 1986.

Thousands of people have gathered in Hilo, Hawaii, not just from around the islands, from the four corners of the earth to witness the largest, the most prestigious hula competition in the world.
