I have to share just one of my favorite insights that Johnny wrote in his autobiography.  It reveals such a sweet simplicity in an otherwise complex human existence.  I love this.

“…I don’t believe there are any people on earth who, properly sheltered, don’t feel the peace inside a summer rain and the cleansing it brings, the renewal of the earth in its aftermath.

 For me such moments are open invitations to closeness with God.  Nature at work isn’t itself God, but it is evidence of Him, and by letting myself be drawn into its depths and intrigues, I can come near to Him: see the glory of His creation, feel the salve of His grace.”
