<TITLE>15. Par 48-50</TITLE>L-48 I looked out then. The sun come out, way back over here in the western horizon, peeping through that big all seeing eye, and over that evergreen it froze over up there with the ice. It formed a rainbow down across the valley like that. I thought, "Oh, God, everywhere you look you can see Him." There He was. I thought He... There He's looking over there; He's looking through. There's He's in the elk herd, and here He is in down in the wolves a hollering. Here He is in nature. I thought like Peter said, "It's good to be here. Let's build three tabernacles."
And I got real religious, and I was running around and around that tree, a shouting to the top of my voice, just screaming and jumping up-and-down just as hard as I could. If somebody come out there, they'd have want to take me to the insane institution, think there's somebody crazy out in the woods. But I was about thirty-five or forty miles from civilization. I was alone with the Lord, having a good time.

L-49 I looked up and I seen tha... I thought, "Yeah. That rainbow." God gave that to Noah. He was to look upon like the rainbow as jasper and sardine stone. The first, the last, He that was, which is, and shall come, the Root and Offspring of David, the Morning Star." And around and around the tree I went again, just as hard as I could go, just a screaming to the top of my voice.
And a little old pine squirrel... I don't know whether any of you brother's seen one or not. But a little old pine squirrel was setting up there on a stump. He started, "Chap, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter," like he was going to tear me to pieces. I thought, "What's the little fellow so excited about?" He was just chattering so.

L-50 And I looked over there, and I thought, "Maybe he's scared of me." And so I happened to look and coming out from under there, the wind had--had forced down a big eagle. And that big eagle, when it come out, that was what the little squirrel was barking at. He jumped out on a limb like that, and the little squirrel jumped back in its chatter chatter.
I looked at that big eagle. I thought, "Now, Lord, did I scare that eagle out of there, I was shouting so loud?" So I looked at him and I thought, "Now, You put him here before me to see for something. I don't know why that You presented that eagle before me.
I kept looking at him. Oh, he was a big, and great big bird. And I noticed his great big velvet looking eyes looking around. I thought, "Well, there's one thing I do admire of you, boy; that is, you're brave; you're not scared." And I thought, "Why ain't you scared? That what's I want to know? Why are you not scared? Ain't you scared of me?" And I looked at him. You know? And he fluffed them feathers back and forth (You know?), and walked back and forth over that log, looking around. He looked at that pine squirrel and look at me. I said, "Boy, you know I could shoot you?" He just looked over at me and went on, you know...?... back and forth. He wasn't bothering him much.
