"Be sure to call me when you get there!" called his mom as she drove away. Jesse and Steven went into the store.

They got dressed in life jackets and gathered the supplies they needed. Jesse lead the way to the Fremont river. They got in the canoe and were off. "I hope it's as fun as last time, and maybe we can find some other animals," said Steven. The two of them were having the time of their lives. "Do you think that was fun?" asked Jesse. "Of course, can we find something to eat? My appetite is growing by the second," whined Steven. As soon as they finished eating their muffins, the two of them went searching through the woods.

They had some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. "Do you want to go back, it's getting late?" wondered Jesse. "I guess," said Steven. They found their way back to camp.

    Have you ever encountered an absolutely gorgeous, charismatic hunk-of-man who, upon meeting him for the first time, had you convinced every move you'd made in your life, up to that point, led you directly to him?

In the days that followed, did you diligently fill every waking moment of your day with thoughts of him, reliving every second of the magic, never wanting to…

As I look at my journey of finding Christ, I see that it has many similarities to Campbell’s Hero’s Journey.…
