TURNING TO GOD BRINGS RAPID PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT

ANDREW GILBERT

A little over a year ago, my then finacee and I were taking a trip into Sequoia National Park in California to scout out and arrange the details of our wedding ceremony, which was to take place later in the year. We had been looking forward to it, and to enjoying some of the great outdoors by camping amid the tall trees and rushing rivers.

One morning during this trip I woke up with a headache. I did not pay much attention to it, at first, but it stayed with me the entire day and prevented me from enjoying our time as freely as I would have liked.

By the time evening came around, however, I was feeling pretty rotten. The headache was worse than ever, my appetite had disappeared, and I was feeling queasy. The situation seemed even worse because the conditions at hand did not offer comfort. I thought to myself about going to lie down—but truthfully, the hard ground underneath my tent was unattractive. I thought about how things would be much easier if I were at home. I could take a hot shower, lie down in my comfortable bed, watch television, and wait for all this to pass.
