the world’s attractions: The world passes; God alone remains.
Photographer David Crocket of KOMO-TV, Seattle, was
caught at the foot of Mt. St. Helens when it exploded on May 18, 1980. He was
nearly buried in the falling ash. Ten hours later he was miraculously spotted,
picked up by a helicopter, and rushed to a hospital. After the ordeal Crocket
wrote in Guideposts: “During
those ten hours I saw a mountain fall apart.
I saw a forest disappear. . . .I saw that God is the only one who is immovable.
. . .I feel somehow that I’m being allowed to start over . . .whatever is in
his master plan for me.”
