00:00 (soft upbeat music)
00:05 - Oh yes, stay right there,
00:08 stay right there I'll be right back.
00:10 (soft upbeat music)
00:13 Hey, welcome everybody to Talking Donkey International
00:16 and our new television series "Country Wisdom".
00:19 - Let's set the tone for this new series of ours.
00:22 It's found in Proverbs 4
00:25 Let your eyes look directly forward
00:27 and your gaze be straight before you.
00:30 Ponder the path of your feet
00:33 and then all your ways will be sure.
00:36 - Join us now for "Country Wisdom".
00:38 (soft upbeat music)
00:46 (train engine roaring) (soft upbeat music)
00:55 Janice, this is exciting
00:57 because we're here in Railroad Park in Dunsmuir.
01:00 And this was your caboose at one time.
01:02 - Yes it was number 777.
01:06 There's a long story here.
01:08 I'll try to cut it down for you
01:10 but my father loved trains.
01:14 He worked for the railroad for Southern Pacific
01:17 right here in Dunsmuir
01:18 when he and my mother were first married.
01:21 And in fact he was a fireman
01:23 on the Southern Pacific division,
01:25 running the Shasta line.
01:27 Now only a little after a year I think.
01:32 The war hit Pearl Harbor was attacked.
01:35 My dad was gone for the next three years,
01:37 but he never lost his love of trains.
01:42 Every year when I was a kid,
01:44 we would vacation up here in Dunsmuir
01:47 and we would walk the railroad tracks and search for trains.
01:51 And I just loved this area.
01:54 Now he died when I was only in high school,
01:57 but he would get such a kick out of the fact
01:59 that I live nearby now that I'm up in this area.
02:04 And a little while ago my brother called me.
02:07 Now my brother doesn't call very often,
02:09 but he had a reason and it had to do with this caboose.
02:16 You see, when I was about three or four years old.
02:19 I got probably the best playhouse
02:23 in the history of little girls and playhouses
02:26 because my dad bought that caboose.
02:30 - That was your caboose.
02:31 - That was my playhouse. - And he bought it.
02:32 - Wow, can we go inside and check it out?
02:34 - We can.
02:35 - Let's do it.
02:37 (train hooting) (soft upbeat music)
02:41 (train engine roaring) (soft upbeat music)
02:58 - [Jim] Man I'm glad to get out of the rain here.
03:00 (door opening)
03:00 (laughing)
03:02 - Wow. - Also this
03:02 was your playhouse.
03:03 - This brings back memories.
03:07 Good memories.
03:08 You have no idea how many hours I spent
03:12 in this caboose as a child.
03:14 It looked a little bit different.
03:15 - But I assume there wasn't a big
03:16 queen bed. - There was not queen bed
03:18 in the middle.
03:19 In fact - Because what, Railway Park
03:21 uses this as a rental now for.
03:22 - Yes it does.
03:24 People can come and spend the night in a genuine caboose.
03:27 - Tell me what it was when you were here.
03:28 - There used to be a couple of bunks
03:30 that folded up against the wall right there
03:32 that would come down
03:34 and back in the days when this really ran
03:36 on the Shasta division.
03:38 Crew members would take their breaks.
03:39 They could sleep during when there they weren't on shift
03:44 and there was a little potbellied stove.
03:46 I mean a beautiful little iron potbelly stove
03:49 that was over in that corner.
03:51 And up those steps they're really narrow.
03:55 There was storage and you can see how it goes up.
03:59 - Yup
04:01 - I used to love getting up sitting on the benches up there,
04:04 looking out the windows
04:06 because when you're three or four or six or seven
04:09 or eight being up there felt like
04:12 I was in my own world.
04:14 - Yeah you were.
04:15 - I could read,
04:16 I could look out the window and just daydream.
04:19 It was a wonderful spot to just look at life.
04:26 - Now this thing is as big as some bodies apartments today.
04:29 You know, say you were three year old girl,
04:30 you have it all yourself.
04:32 - Well, I had to share with my brother and sister,
04:34 - Was that a bad deal?
04:37 - You see, I liked having tea parties,
04:40 playing with my stuffed animals.
04:42 And then my brother Would, John would come and say,
04:45 all right, Janice, back in the house,
04:47 my friends and I are taking over
04:49 and it would turn into a fort.
04:51 They would play games where they were sometimes soldiers.
04:55 Sometimes they were cavalry.
04:58 This caboose has had more lives inside more imagination.
05:05 It was just a wonderful place to grow up.
05:08 - Now I may put you on the spot,
05:09 but what was the caboose for in the first place
05:12 on the railroad?
05:13 (laughing)
05:15 - Actually it served as a really good function.
05:18 You know that when you talk about somebody being a caboose,
05:21 they were the rear end.
05:23 This was the last car and a train.
05:25 And that cupola that area up above.
05:29 - Yup.
05:30 - [Janice] Crewman would sit up there
05:31 because from that vantage point,
05:34 they could look down either side of the train,
05:37 they were watching for things like sparks from the wheels,
05:41 any issues going on they could keep watch from there.
05:44 - [Jim] There's a lot of training used to start fires
05:46 on the tracks.
05:47 - They did indeed.
05:48 In fact, I told you my dad was a fireman.
05:51 I honestly don't know if they still have
05:53 that position on a train.
05:54 Probably not but that was his job.
05:57 And he spent a lot of time in this caboose
06:02 because this caboose ran on the Shasta division.
06:05 The same years that my dad worked there.
06:08 So he knows he had to have been in this.
06:10 - And number 777 that's pretty interesting to.
06:14 - Now you might have noticed when we go back outside,
06:17 I'll refresh your memory.
06:19 Right now it's bright yellow.
06:21 And it says Erie Lackawanna.
06:24 But in her heart she is still Southern Pacific.
06:27 - So they changed the label.
06:29 - They did, here at the Dunsmuir Railroad Park.
06:33 They had several Southern Pacific cabooses already.
06:36 You saw some of them as we drove in.
06:39 So they spiffed her up and turned her into something else
06:42 because they didn't have an Erie Lackawanna caboose.
06:45 How does it make you feel being,
06:47 how many, oh no, I can't ask that lovely lady.
06:49 I guess how many years has been but forget I asked that.
06:52 But how does it make you feel being back in here?
06:56 - It's bittersweet because as I said,
06:59 it brings so many memories back.
07:01 I can remember running up and down those stairs,
07:04 climbing up into the benches,
07:07 out that door in the front was my house
07:10 and out this door in the back was my grandmother's house.
07:13 Just about ideal
07:16 but on the other hand. - And your daddy.
07:17 - It makes me realize that we've both gotten a little older.
07:22 Not you, I mean the caboose and me.
07:23 - Thank you, thank you.
07:25 Your daddy bought this for you.
07:27 - He bought it for less I said
07:29 I had to share with my brother and sister,
07:31 but I felt like it was mine.
07:33 - So you had a father that really really loved you.
07:36 - Yes, he did.
07:37 And did I tell you why he was able to buy it?
07:41 - No.
07:43 - You'll see the cupola up there.
07:45 You climb up to get that bird's eye view.
07:50 Southern Pacific was scrapping all of these trains
07:53 that had cupolas.
07:55 And they were going to a brand new model
07:57 that had Bay windows on each side.
08:00 - [Jim] Where you can sit on the side and look out.
08:01 - So you can sit on the side and look out.
08:03 So they were getting rid of these.
08:05 And my dad found out somehow
08:07 by that point he was working as a dentist
08:09 in Lodi, California.
08:11 He found out he tracked down the number,
08:14 he knew he'd been in this caboose and his railroad days
08:20 bought it, had it shipped to our house.
08:23 The day they brought it in our backyard,
08:25 they had to close the whole street,
08:26 shut down traffic everything.
08:28 It was like the parade.
08:29 Cause it's pretty good size.
08:30 - They hold this thing on a flatbed I think it was
08:35 and brought it into our backyard.
08:37 He had a foundation ready for it and he wired it.
08:41 So it had its lights,
08:42 everything worked
08:44 and it was the hit of the neighborhood let me tell you.
08:48 We also made the front page of the paper.
08:50 I have a picture I can show you
08:52 of me with my brother and my sister
08:56 on the end of the caboose out here.
08:58 Took a picture and we were on the front page.
09:01 - I can't imagine.
09:03 - That's as good as it gets when you're four years old.
09:05 - Now I'm sure since you were here,
09:08 how many years in this area and here in this area or...
09:12 - I was born in Lodi.
09:13 Train came from here.
09:14 It was born here, but you were in Lodi.
09:16 - Right?
09:17 - Were you ever in this area alone?
09:19 Do you ever play in the hills around here?
09:21 - Yes, every year we vacationed in Dunsmuir.
09:24 My dad would bring us up.
09:26 There's an area called Cantara Loop
09:28 and the train comes down one side of the river
09:33 makes a loop over a bridge comes on the other side.
09:37 And at that point the engineer and the guys in the caboose
09:42 could wave to each other across the river.
09:44 - Wow.
09:45 - And we used to come
09:46 and one of the things we would do every August.
09:49 We would walk that stretch of track
09:51 and walk Cantara Loop.
09:55 It was quite the walk.
09:57 I was a good hiker back then.
10:00 But yes, my dad loved this area.
10:02 I told you he would love it
10:03 knowing I live up in this area now
10:05 - [Jim] It's got some amazing views
10:07 and visitors around here.
10:09 - [Janice] Oh it does.
10:10 You wanna head back up?
10:11 - Yeah, let's do that.
10:12 Let's do that.
10:13 (soft upbeat music)
10:23 (water flowing)
10:25 Need to fly fish out there.
10:26 - Well, Steve does.
10:28 You know, he'll be out here just right there.
10:30 He knows every hole.
10:32 (water flowing)
10:35 Man I love the sound of that river.
10:37 Don't you?
10:38 - Oh yeah.
10:39 - I think that's half the fun of camping
10:41 is being next to a river or a stream.
10:43 And just having that sound.
10:46 - And I'm so happy.
10:47 The sun is shining and the wrinkle.
10:48 Oh yes, Well you know,
10:50 that's what they say about this area.
10:51 If you don't like the weather,
10:53 just wait 10 minutes maybe 15.
10:55 - So you used to play.
10:58 - Oh yeah. - All this areas.
10:59 - I've walked on trails all over here.
11:03 All in this area.
11:05 My dad loved this area I told you that.
11:08 In fact, when he and mom first got married
11:10 and they moved here,
11:12 so he could work for the railroad.
11:14 I think he would have stayed and I would have grown up here,
11:20 but the war had other plans.
11:23 - So he went into the military.
11:25 - Yes, he did.
11:26 And he was gone.
11:28 He had mom had been married maybe a year.
11:31 And then he was off to India of all places.
11:35 That's where I spent to the war years.
11:39 - Did you say India,
11:40 - India yes.
11:42 - India.
11:43 (laughing)
11:44 When I was growing up and in the summer,
11:47 when it would be hot,
11:48 like pavement melting under your feet.
11:52 I can remember running from my house
11:55 across the street to my friend's house barefoot.
11:59 And you were actually leaving little prints in the pavement
12:01 because it was that hot.
12:03 But my dad,
12:04 you could not ever say that it was hot
12:07 because he would tell you,
12:08 you didn't know what he was.
12:09 (laughing)
12:12 But I think one of the reasons that I love it up here too.
12:19 One of the reasons that he vacationed up here every year,
12:23 part of his heart was here
12:24 because I think it had been peaceful here.
12:27 And certainly when we came up on vacation,
12:32 you just feel like when you're out next to the river,
12:34 when you're walking through these mountains.
12:37 It just kind of, the weight rolls off.
12:40 And I don't know what your childhood was like.
12:43 Well, actually I do so you can relate.
12:46 But there was an awful lot of tension
12:48 in the house I grew up in.
12:50 But when we would come up here to the mountains
12:54 for every year, every August.
12:57 We left that behind,
13:00 coming up here was truly a mental vacation.
13:03 And I think that's why I still love it.
13:06 Why we get out of the car at a trail head
13:09 and I hear the river and I just smile.
13:11 - Just the attention melting away.
13:13 - Yes, because those were happy memories,
13:15 consistently happy memories.
13:20 - So you really, you had a,
13:22 can I say a terrible childhood is that.
13:25 I know you may hate to say that but-
13:26 - I know a lot of people might say terrible
13:29 for me it was normal.
13:31 It wasn't until you begin to compare other families,
13:35 you know, you get older,
13:36 you start spending time in other people's houses
13:39 and realize, okay.
13:41 And other families they're not always angry.
13:46 My friends mothers didn't disappear into their bedrooms
13:49 for days at a time and not come out.
13:52 - Really, that's what happened in you own Home.
13:54 - Yes, we had nannies
13:56 before it was fashionable to have nannies
13:59 because there were just long periods
14:01 where my mother simply didn't cope.
14:05 She relied on prescription drugs to get her through life
14:09 and they didn't always work.
14:13 And there were times it was like a Jekyll and Hyde.
14:16 I can remember walking home from school
14:19 and as I would round a corner where I could see my house,
14:22 my stomach would tighten up because I didn't know
14:26 which mother was gonna say hello.
14:29 But up here it was completely different.
14:32 Everybody was happy.
14:33 The whole family was happy
14:35 when we would come and camp up here.
14:37 Now you also have to remember that my dad's idea of camping
14:40 was a little bit different.
14:43 You might think,
14:44 Oh, we put up tents right next to the stream.
14:47 No, we were staying at a little lodge.
14:49 My dad felt like- - That was camping.
14:51 - Yeah, camping was anything less than a best Western motel.
14:55 - Okay.
14:56 - But it had a little kitchenette.
14:58 And I remember the deck that looked out over the river.
15:01 So for him that was camping.
15:03 He was not into roughing it too much.
15:06 - Can I ask you and this is,
15:08 you know, kind of the mindset of,
15:10 you've got this little girl with her great playhouse
15:13 that daddy bought her.
15:15 And so she's got some really fun memories there,
15:17 but you've also got this other side of life
15:19 that wasn't good.
15:22 Now, where does it go?
15:25 I mean, do you carry that into adulthood
15:28 or God has something else in mind.
15:30 - God always has something else in mind.
15:33 God takes with ever twisted little mess your life is
15:38 and starts helping you unravel it.
15:41 - I got to stop you.
15:42 That is such a great analogy.
15:44 Twisted little mess.
15:45 You know what, It's a twist little mess.
15:48 I can almost picture that, you know, and helps you unravel.
15:52 - Yes.
15:53 - How did he do that for you?
15:55 - First of all, you know, in scripture,
15:58 God promises us a peace that we can't even understand.
16:04 And it's because he knew our little human brains.
16:08 There's no reason to explain
16:10 how you can have something chaotic going wrong around you.
16:14 Whether it's something from the outside
16:17 world events, family falling apart,
16:21 a marriage falling apart.
16:22 But God still gives you that peace.
16:26 That only comes from him.
16:28 It's not something you can manufacture.
16:30 - This for you even started as a child apparently.
16:33 - You know, growing up,
16:35 both my grandmothers lived in town
16:38 and every weekend my father's mother
16:41 would come by in her bright red VW
16:45 that she drove very fast.
16:46 She had a nickname.
16:47 She was Hot Rod Lecher.
16:50 And back then before, well, did we even have seatbelt laws?
16:53 No, we didn't. - No.
16:55 - And back then it was,
16:56 well, how many of the kids
16:57 can cram into grandma's VW and go to church?
17:00 And my mother's mother lived right next door.
17:03 We had a huge backyard.
17:05 My dad owned three city lots on the corner.
17:07 So our house and a big front yard were one city lot.
17:11 Our garage and carport and driveway
17:16 were another full city lot.
17:17 You could park like nine or 10 cars in our driveway.
17:21 And then on this side we had a huge backyard.
17:25 That's where the caboose was
17:27 and a gate that went to grandma's house.
17:30 I always had that escape.
17:32 If things got too bad,
17:34 I just went to grandma's house.
17:36 Do not underestimate
17:39 the effect of grandparents in kids' lives.
17:43 Whether they're your genetic grandparent
17:46 or an adopted grandparent.
17:49 But I could always go there.
17:51 And my grandmothers',
17:54 my grandma Lecher would go over there
17:56 and she would just pound on the piano.
17:58 I learned all the old hymns from her.
18:00 She only had one.
18:02 She didn't know things like pianissimo
18:04 or everything was forte when she played the piano.
18:08 But I still remember all of her favorite hymns.
18:10 And there are times when those lyrics will come to mind.
18:15 If you wanna learn scripture put them to music.
18:17 - What was her favorite?
18:18 Any favorite that pops in?
18:19 - Blessed assurance.
18:21 - Blessed assurance.
18:22 - I can still hear her playing and singing bless assurance.
18:26 - You know, it's exciting because we all have that
18:29 blessed assurance through Jesus Christ.
18:30 - Yes, and I think that when you were out
18:32 in a spot like this,
18:34 I mean, look around you Jim,
18:35 the trees, the little breeze,
18:38 again back to the sound of that river.
18:41 You can just breathe out here.
18:46 You feel closer to God out here than anywhere else I think.
18:51 - Nature's God second book.
18:53 - It sure is.
18:54 Now not too far up this trail.
18:56 I promised you it wasn't too far.
18:58 We're gonna come to some railroad tracks
19:00 and I'll get back to the story of my caboose.
19:02 - Wanna get the rest of the story?
19:03 - Yes. - All right?
19:04 - Just like Paul Harvey.
19:05 There's the rest of the story.
19:07 - There you go.
19:08 (water flowing)
19:12 The great Catholic Monk Martin Luther
19:14 was so concerned with his salvation that
19:17 when in Rome he climbed the "holy stairs"
19:20 on his knees to earn salvation.
19:24 But when he reached the top God flashed a
19:26 Bible verse before his mind.
19:28 The just shall live by faith.
19:31 That brings me to the title of a Free pamphlet
19:34 I have that I'd like to give you.
19:35 It's called AM I Good Enough?
19:38 It's easy to get your copy.
19:40 Go to TalkingDonkeyInternational.org
19:43 and order offer 107 AM I Good Enough?
19:47 It will be a comfort to you.
19:52 (soft upbeat music)
20:02 - So these tracks are where that caboose I showed you
20:05 started out its life.
20:07 And of course it was built to run the railroads.
20:10 And then when it had outlived its usefulness,
20:13 they were going to scrap it
20:14 and you would have thought that's it.
20:16 That's what else does a caboose do?
20:19 Then my dad bought it and it became our playhouse.
20:23 So it had the second life,
20:25 but it wasn't done yet.
20:26 (train hooting)
20:28 However, I think I'm hearing a train.
20:30 - I think I'll step at least outside the track.
20:32 - Maybe we should.
20:34 I love that sound almost as much as the sound of the river
20:36 that we heard coming up here.
20:39 Because it reminds me of those days.
20:40 I used to walk these tracks for miles,
20:44 trying not to fall off,
20:46 do not ask me to attempt it now.
20:49 - I know you gonna try but.
20:51 - But that caboose had the second life as my playhouse.
20:56 Then after I grew up and left home
20:58 again, you would think,
20:59 well, that was it.
21:01 It was lucky enough to have that second life
21:02 that nobody could have pictured,
21:04 but it wasn't done.
21:05 My mother sold it to a woman
21:08 who ran a freight barge up and down the Delta.
21:12 She put it on her barge and it became her office
21:16 and a spot for the guys who worked for her to take naps,
21:19 to sleep when they were, you know, not on their shift.
21:22 And so it went up and down the Delta river for years.
21:28 Then again, you'd think,
21:30 okay, now that surely is it
21:32 that caboose now has had three lives,
21:35 but no fourth life it's back here where it started
21:41 on the Shasta division.
21:42 And now it's a bed and breakfast.
21:45 So every time you would think,
21:47 well, there's nothing more I can do,
21:50 nothing more that this caboose is useful for.
21:53 - There's another life. - There's another life
21:55 something you couldn't be even pictured ahead of time,
21:58 which I just think is great.
22:01 - No wonder there is a train that's coming here.
22:03 Does it ever kind of get those feelings,
22:06 you know, in your heart, your mind?
22:08 - I do because there have been periods
22:09 where I've kind of thought like that's it,
22:14 you know, when my kids grew up and left home briefly,
22:18 two of them came back.
22:19 (railway bell ringing)
22:20 But you think that's it.
22:21 - (indistinct)place and watch the train, shall we?
22:23 - Let's do that.
22:24 (soft music) (train hooting)
22:34 (soft music)
23:12 (train engine roaring)
23:17 (railway bell ringing)
23:19 - How longer they used to be.
23:21 - Oh, much longer than they use to be.
23:23 And they used to put helper engines
23:25 into the center of the train.
23:26 - But you notice what it doesn't have?
23:28 - It doesn't have a caboose.
23:29 No caboose anymore.
23:31 But my caboose, my playhouse had multiple lives
23:35 that you just couldn't have predicted.
23:37 And as I was starting to tell you,
23:40 when my kids left home,
23:42 I have this feeling like, well, that's it.
23:44 I was a mom for so long.
23:46 What do I do now?
23:48 So I can kind of relate to that caboose
23:51 because I'm reaching or have reached a certain age.
23:58 And maybe it's just women who start to feel this way
24:01 or I don't know maybe it's just me but I doubt it.
24:03 - I won't tell you if I did.
24:05 - No no you're far too smart
24:07 to say you've noticed I've aged.
24:09 But you kind of start to feel like,
24:12 well, I guess that's the end of my usefulness
24:16 because really, you know, what more is there
24:18 that I could do.
24:20 it's gotta be younger people
24:22 or more talented people or whatever.
24:24 But just like that caboose,
24:27 you know, had reached the end of its usefulness.
24:30 - But It really haven't, right?
24:31 - No. - That's what's
24:32 so cool about God.
24:34 And you found the Lord and it's just like in the Bible,
24:38 God always lays out something.
24:39 And one of the things he laid out
24:41 is the story of Moses.
24:42 Moses you might remember he was in the Pharaoh's court
24:48 guy really high up.
24:49 He had everything for 40 years.
24:51 I mean, he was on roll.
24:52 And then all of a sudden he murdered somebody,
24:55 kicked out of the kingdom, fleece for his life,
24:58 spends 40 years in the desert
25:00 as a shepherd herded sheep.
25:03 That was it.
25:04 - Never imagined that phase of his life.
25:06 - No, but he began enjoying life.
25:08 You know, it was kind of kicked back now and enjoying life.
25:11 One day all of a sudden he sees a burning bush.
25:14 He approaches that burning bush
25:16 and it's got a voice that comes out and says, hey Moses,
25:19 you know Moses I've got a job for you.
25:21 And he goes, Whoa, what kind of job for me?
25:24 God is in that burning bush basically
25:26 begins talking with Moses said,
25:28 I've got another job for you Moses.
25:29 Moses is 80 years old.
25:32 Got a new job for you.
25:33 I want you to lead an entire nation out of bondage.
25:37 You know, what would we do?
25:38 Well, he followed God.
25:40 And it was such an amazing story
25:41 for another 40 years he lived.
25:44 There's always something exciting when you follow God.
25:47 I even think about Colonel Sanders.
25:50 I think he started Kentucky Fried Chicken in his 70's,
25:53 you know, became who knows a multi multimillionaire
25:57 in a 70.
25:58 God has so many pathways for us, you know?
26:01 And that's what I think about in your own life.
26:04 I look at what happened in your life and what God has done.
26:07 - Oh, there are things that I've been able to do
26:09 that I never could have pictured.
26:13 Couldn't have imagine
26:14 that I had the ability to do those things.
26:16 Go on mission trips with you,
26:18 strap on a tool belt and help build a church or a school,
26:22 mentoring someone younger.
26:25 I have a friend, a young mother
26:27 and we've just found that we get together.
26:31 And I realized that I'm a stabilizing force,
26:35 I'm an inspiration.
26:37 Not because I'm so wonderful,
26:38 but just, I make time for her.
26:40 - Think about that.
26:41 A stabilizing force from where you started.
26:43 - Nobody would have thought I could stabilize anyone.
26:46 And then here in the last few years,
26:48 if you had told me a decade ago
26:50 that I would be asked to come
26:52 and speak at a women's weekends.
26:55 If that I would be asked to talk
26:57 to different church congregations.
27:00 I couldn't have pictured myself
27:02 as there's someone who wants to hear what I have to say
27:05 that those are doors that God opened.
27:07 Because I wasn't looking for those doors,
27:09 but just like my playhouse that had multiple lives
27:15 every time I've been about to think,
27:17 well, that's probably it.
27:18 You know, that was great.
27:19 I'm glad I could do that,
27:21 but I can't think of anything else that I'm good for
27:23 or would be useful for.
27:26 God opens another door.
27:28 - You know, God changed Janice's life.
27:31 He can change yours as well.
27:33 Maybe you've lost a loved one.
27:34 Maybe you've lost your job.
27:36 Everything in life seems like it's falling apart,
27:38 but not so with God, draw near to God,
27:42 he'll draw near to you.
27:43 Scripture says I have not seen nor ear heard,
27:46 neither has entered in the heart of man.
27:48 The things that God has prepared for those that love him.
27:51 That's right now,
27:52 God has an amazing array of things prepared for you
27:55 draw near to God trust Him
27:57 and he will certainly draw near to you.
27:59 (train engine roaring) (soft music)
28:10 (soft music)
28:12 Hey, thanks for joining us for Country Wisdom.
28:15 - See you next time.
28:16 (soft upbeat music)
