“I go now to the wilderness to be a part of it; to accept my place in the world and its place in me; to grow into reality as a tree grows into the rain, to conform to the Earth as a stream conforms to the stones of its bed. To live. To aspire. To be.” WorldRealityEarthGrowsNatureAcceptingTreeBedRainStonesStreamsWildernessAspireConformPlaces In The World Book:The Wallowas: Coming of Age in the Wilderness Source: The Wallowas: Coming of Age in the Wilderness

“God brought me to Himself at about the age of 4. My parents were devout believers and my Dad was in Bible College at the time. I remember hearing the gospel in Sunday School and I talked to my Mom about it one night before bed. It was clear to me that I was a sinner and I was not going to heaven if I died without accepting Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for me. I was brought to Christ out of fear of going to hell. I didn't want to go there if I died and there was only one other choice in my mind as a 4 year old. I wanted to go to heaven. It was and is that simple.” IfsWantYearsMindAgeWantedSchoolRememberNightChoicesJesusHeavenParentChristSimpleAcceptingHellClearCollegeMomDadBedJesus ChristCrossesDiedMy DadMy MomHearingBelieverSinnerSundayOne NightSunday SchoolGoing To Heaven Author:Ben Zobrist
