"After two years I was as miserable at the end of it as I was at the beginning. I still had no peace with God. And I was so much so that I dropped out of the college I was going to. I went back to my home in Oregon, and I got a job, and I thought that that wonderful Oregon Fall would just set me right. What I need is more fresh air.

So I got outside; I got a nice suntan; I got a job on a highway crew and I shoveled gravel. Lots of little things like that. And it was a great experience, and so on. I got a nice tan. I felt great physically.

But I was still the same restless, foolish, poor person I was before. I was in flight from God, and there was no other way to describe it.
