There are mountains and there are oceans, and both are mighty.
Years ago I lived on a mountain outside of San Diego for twenty years. i could see Los Angeles and the Ocean in one direction and in the other I could see the Borego Desert. It was kind of hard to get a glimpse of holiness at that time in my life but it was out there or in there somewhere. Today the thought of holiness messes with my mind and heart in a way that makes me wish everyone could hear the songs I hear. Yes, I know mountains, but oceans too, almost too well.
One time in a huge convoy a hurricane blew up and made me feel like a tooth pick in a blender and actually broke one of our cruisers in half. It tore many of our seams apart and we started to sink but pumps from our ship and others kept us afloat until we got to Pearl Harbor and dry-dock. That didn't feel too holy, well, sort of holy smokes! The end result was a shift in consciousness to some deeper level. It was a higher gear of some sort. You should have seen the letters I wrote to my darling wife! It would make your hair stand up. When our ship caught fire carrying many tons of high explosives to Guam, I had a holy feeling that to this day feeds my memories with the feeling of being cared for by ONE I can trust. You know, my life has this mountain, ocean quality that make each day a surprise as well as a sun rise. It's funny how you can live on a mountain and swim in the ocean at the same time. Some days it gives my emotional work-out a real challenge. This has brought me to the lovely place where, because of Heaven-letters I can: "Accept that I AM a Holy Being in a world of Holy Beings." Thank you sweet writer!

Heavenletters are the most valuable “thing” available to us in the whole world today, and it seems crazy to me not to collect and preserve every jot and tittle.
