It is late. I probably should have gone to bed long ago. I am tired. But, 213 pages later, my book is complete. I hesitate to say that it is finished, because there is editing and formatting yet to be done. I am going to give Phil the first read through, and he will, undoubtedly, come back to me with at least several sentences that start, "Remember the time…," or, "You can't forget this…," and then I'll be scrambling to squeeze in another chapter or two. But the basic story is all there. I really can't believe it, but I wrote a book!

"Mountain Of God", by Third Day

From the Recording, "Wherever You Are"

Thought that I was all alone
Broken and afraid
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me

And I didn't even know
That I had lost my way
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me

'Til You opened up my eyes
I never knew
That I couldn't ever make it
Without You

Even though the journey's long
And I know the road is hard
Well, the One who's gone before me
He will help me carry on
After all that I've been through
Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God

As I travel on the road
That You have lead me down
You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me
I have need for nothing more
Oh, now that I have found
That You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me

I confess from time to time
I lose my way
But You are always there
To bring me back again

Sometimes I think of where it is I've come from
And the things I've left behind
But of all I've had, what I possessed
Nothing can quite compare
With what's in front of me
With what's in front of me
