Through some very interesting circumstances, I wound-up hitchhiking across country and was lead in an amazing one week, 2000 mile journey (I can give all the remarkable details if you like), to walk right into "CJs Old Garage" on Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley CA. I was greeted by a long-haired brother who asked, "What are you looking for - Jesus?" I knew instantly that this was home and where He'd brought me to in a direct answer to that prayer.

Eventually He lead me away from the California LCs, and I wound-up with my new family in LC gatherings in southern Ohio. And as our brother "Ohio" has pointed out several times, the Ohio churches were not nearly in the close orbit to Anaheim as many others were. Then in 1988 he lead our family out of the LCs completely and across country again, before everything blew up in the Ohio churches.

BTW - He reminds me frequently that He is still being faithful to that prayer!

Sounds like you have had a few exciting times traveling afar much like the father of our faith Abraham! (Acts 7.2-3; Heb 11.8))
