10:17 PM Just back from Word of Life Island. Around 600 teens and counselors crowded into Pine Pavilion for the service—which was loud and raucous, high-energy, incredibly exciting.

9:08 AM Getting ready for the two AM services. Rain seems to have stopped. Marlene told me she has read four books so far and is now reading through “The Zion Legacy,” a series by Brock and Bodie Thoene. Breakfast for me this AM was a Payday candy bar and half a Hershey’s chocolate bar. That’s all I need till lunch. 6:5…

8:45 PM Greetings from Word of Life Inn in beautiful Schroon Lake, high in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York (about 50 miles south of Lake Placid where the Winter Olympics were held in 1980).

Friday, February 28 We arrived back in Oak Park late this evening, a little weary from the travel but glad for the time spent at Word of Life Florida. I ended up riding 102 miles on the bike I bought, then I turned it over to the conference center today. Last night I spoke at 10:30 PM to the students at the Bible Institute …
