On a very serious note, I was in the water with my then 18 year old “dare devil” brother on July 24, 1975. Due to an error on his part, he ascended to the spirit world. Exactly 100 days later, on Halloween day, I became a believer of Divine Principle in pretty much a split second. I was not thinking about my brother Jim on that day, 10/31/75. It was the last day of my first seven days at Booneville. I did not believe anything I was hearing. I then stepped a a nail very badly. This cleared my mind and suddenly realized that everything I was hearing was absolutely true.
