963 Words4 Pages

So after our visit to Cedar Lake we set off on our way to the badlands. Now this isn't going to be like the kind of story where i talk about our amazing time their and skip all the driving. This is about the trip their and the many of complications but many of miracles. Our trip to the badlands is one of the most inspirational parts of this entire book. Their are many of places and times when God really reveales himself to us and shows us his great mercy. After an hour or so of drinving we found out that we definately needed brakes. So my mother went and asked where she could find someone to fix the brakes and we were recommended, i would say, the most honorable auto body shop their is. Normally the brakes would cost like one - thousand dollars but we paid the low price of one-hundred and fifty dollars. Which was just the begining of our God sent …show more content…

First we were shown amazing grace financialy with the man and the breakes. Usually a person in an auto shop will charge a lot extra for something like this if the cliaents of people like us are a single mom and five kids. So that was just the first blessing. Second blessing being in that we made it to an auto zone before breaking fully down, and then a man, on his day off, came for hours, to help us fix it and like with no charge. Just put that through your brain a second. Who does that. That not even being all. God showed his grace further in another incident where a man graciously helped us fix a part with very little cost. All of this with little financial support, and a bunch of children of God. True grace. Not even just that but the experiance to do what many americans dream of doing but can't, traveling america, is a blessing in itself. This is a plethura of miracles in just a span of three days, with many more on the way. A lot more being dependent on God and a lot less dependent upon

When I made a lucky catch, I learned what carelessness could cost you. I was around seven years old at the time, and I played baseball for Lakeview Playground. It was my first year of playing hardball, and like everyone else, I had no knowledge of what was happening. Our team name was the “Grey Sharks,” only because our jerseys were

When one lays eyes on these beauties, one cannot help, but wonder if there is a greater power at work. Chris McCandless tells one of the people he meets on the road, Ron Franz, that,“get out of Salton City, put a little camper on the back of your pickup, and start seeing the great work that God has done here in the American West….you will be very, very glad that you did it”(Krakauer, 58). In this letter from McCandless to Franz, McCandless tells Franz to go out and live life the way he believes God intended, to enjoy what He created. The idea of living off the land appeals to many people, as shown by the novel. All of the stories show that some people will risk their lives to see the true beauties of nature.

At first, I followed the edge of our property line until I came to a little trail in the weeds that looked like it been made by a deer or another good-sized animal. It descended gently down the escarpment at first, but then I had to quicken my step as it became a little steeper, eventually taking me right down to the Genesee River. The river itself wasn’t as wide and as deep as I thought it would have been, and in spots it looked like you could cross without needing the aid of a bridge, the water perhaps coming up as high as my waist. But that was most likely because it was August and the heat wave we’d been experiencing had the area gripped in a drought. I had followed the river’s rocky shoreline for a little ways while listening

The final carry of half a mile from Portage to Blackstone Lake was made with difficulty by groping our way through the dense woods in the dark, and we gladly betook ourselves at once to the hospitable mansion of logs of the settler on the shore of Blackstone Lake. The cabin being  duly “smudged,” all turned in and slept soundly till awakened by the musical notes of the early rising mosquitoes. A net worn over our heads both night and day contributed largely to our comfort, though no such device will keep out the microscopic sand fly. Oil of pennyroyal and tar, etc., did pretty well, but the net is the best for blackflies and mosquitoes. The mosquitoes appear to thrive particularly there, and we were invited to believe that in a neighboring beaver meadow their hum was such as to

Every year the day after school ends in May, my dad, my brothers, and I go camping in Colorado in the Rocky Mountains. We usually go for a week (7days), and work 2 or 3 days. Our work usually consists of clearing undergrowth and brush, digging up junipers, picking up aspen and fir tree deadfall, along with many many other things. My favorite part of the trip is when we load up and leave camp to go to the Great Sand Dunes for the day. There, we rent sandboards (snowboards for sand) and sleds to ride down the dunes on.
