<TITLE>07. Par -</TITLE>L-9-2 You know God's everywhere. You can just see Him anywhere, if you'll just look for Him. He's there; you have to see Him. He'll be here. He's here right now. If you'll just look around, you'll see Him. And then, when I was standing there, I looked at that--that sunset, and I raised up my hands and I said, "O great Jehovah God, Your eyes run to and fro through the earth." Just then I heard the bugle from a--a bull elk. He'd got scattered away from the herd in the storm, and he was making that real sharp squeal of a sound like that. And I heard the herd answer him over here in another place.
And way up on the side of the mountain, the old gray wolf begin to howl, and mate answered down in the bottom. I looked around across of the valley from one mountain across the divide; there was a rainbow. Why, just everywhere I looked, there was God.

L-9-4 My mother is a half Indian. She come off the reservations and--of the Cherokee Indian; and her mother drawed a pension. My conversion never took that out of me. There's something about the woods and outdoors that I love. When I heard that old wolf howling and the mate answering it, tears begin to run down my cheeks. I heard that old bull elk screaming up there for his herd. It answered.
I looked at the rainbow, and I said, "Yeah, there's God again." He's Alpha and Omega. He's the colors, the covenant in the rainbow. God's everywhere if you'll just look around for Him.

L-9-6 I got so happy, I just raised up my hands and the tears running down my cheeks; I run around and around and around that tree. I was just having me a big time (and nobody in thirty miles of me), just jumping up and down and screaming to the top of my voice. Honestly, if there'd been somebody watching me, they'd thought somebody out of the insane institution was out there. But I wasn't caring; I was having a good time. I was worshipping the Lord my God. Didn't make any difference to me what anybody else thought.
And I was just having a good time, just around and around and around that tree. And I'd stopped, listen to that wolf, listen at it, and scream again, and around and around the tree I'd go again.

L-10-2 And I--I excited something. And there was a little pine squirrel. I don't know, whether you know what they are here in Oklahoma or not: just a little bitty noisy thing, about that long. He's a blue coat policeman of the woods. He's just... He makes so much noise, and there's nothing to him. And he jumped up on a stump, and he begin to "chatter, chatter, chatter," just as hard as he could. And I thought, "There's no need of you getting excited. I'm worshipping the Lord. If you don't like that, watch this." And around and around and around and around again I went, just as hard as I could. And I said, "Isn't that wonderful? Your Creator, my God... Here we go again." Around and around and around like that. And I noticed the little fellow cocking his little head sideways and looking down in that blow down.
