<TITLE>30. Par 105-108</TITLE>L-105 And brother, along--and done pitch black dark, you know. And I'd been walking about a hour in that darkness, and my hand hit that wire. I felt it. Well, I just bowed my head and started crying, you know. And I thought, "Lord, right at the end of this line waits my wife and everything. See?" I thought, "That's right." And I stood there and held my head down and thanked Him for it. And I thought, "Yes, Lord. I got my hand in Yours. It's a current, a line. And right at the end of this line that I'm holding now in my heart, holds everything that's dear to me (See?), all my loved ones, my Lord, My Saviour. All that's dear to me lays at the end of this line." So, I wouldn't let my hand get off that line. And I followed that line right down the mountain.
Although there was a little--a little broke--half-broken trail there, where we'd come up, you know. But I wouldn't trust that. I just held the line. When I hit a tree, I peel right around the tree and catch it again, go on to the next tree, and then catch it on down. It's about three miles down the mountain. And I got down there. And Meda was almost in hysterics, you know. just such a fix. But that's it. See? There's nothing, no feeling, like being lost. What about lost--being lost in the woods. But what about being lost from God? That's when it's bad.

L-106 Well, Meda? Come on, honey. Brother Welch has to go to work. And Banks and them will probably want a early start. And all these other brethren wanting to go to work. And our sisters have to--to get the kids all washed and... Thank you. Thank you.
If you enjoyed it half as much as I did, talking with you... It was wonderful. Yes, sir.
Brother Welch, thanks for that nice time this afternoon too, we had out there with the--taking me out to that--them gator swamps out there. Sister, you all, I sure thank you for that nice supper. Oh, my.
You got a little girl in there too? She has got the prettiest hair. I noticed she had it plaited, kind of a real yellowish, gold-looking hair. That--that's really pretty. I want to comment you on your hair too, sister. I know it's better. I believe you used to wear short hair, didn't you? Kindy down to your shoulders, kindy bobbed or something like... Or did you? Yes. I... Yes. I... Well, it really looks nice now. See?

L-107 I was noticing these--all these women here, with their long hair and everything. It looks like... It...
Oh, they could be as nice one way as the other, you know, whether they had short hair or not, but it just looks so, you know. You know what I mean. You just... Maybe it's just me. But...
There's that little girl. She is a little bit bashful, isn't she?

L-108 Can I pack him, honey? Where's she at? Oh... No. You hear them tell me? Did you get that? She said we had to wait for Becky to come, but said that don't mean you have to go over there and start preaching again.
Hasn't that little girl got pretty hair too, honey? She's a cookie with her little pony-tail hanging down there too, little strawberry blond and...
No. I'm going to get out and see if that old--get that old Cadillac started if I can, Brother Welch. And I'll... You excuse me just a minute, and I'll see if I can... Sometimes she coughs a little bit and barks, you know, and... What, Bernie?
