1984

On March 28, 1984, I asked Jesus to be my best friend. It has been an absolute exhilarating ride since then. This picture is a picture of the first Bible I ever had. The summer after my decision that March, I went on summer staff at Hemlock Wilderness Brigade Camp, a foundational experience where I served and worked with a bunch of other Christian young men, in the wilds of West Virginia. That summer, I also took part in a week long wilderness canoeing trip to Ontario, Canada. Also foundational since I wasn't a very good swimmer. My first Bible spent a little bit of time in the Canadian water.

Jesus, you have been, and continue to be real.
