Go on a "God hunt"... when you seek Him you will find Him!
"When I pray, God answers."
DRJ age 12
Personal experiences are hard to prove and I will not attempt to do so. But I also will not discount God's answers to prayers, the Holy Spirit at work, and the blessings that I've experienced. My personal experiences along with other evidence strengthen my faith.

Josh McDowell - From Skepticism To Faith
www.youtube.com/watch?v=xORJALbxuS4 (33 min 6 sec)
After a painful childhood caused by a severely dysfunctional family, an alcoholic father, and sexual abuse, Josh McDowell was an angry unforgiving teen and stubborn college skeptic. He believed Christianity was worthless and for ignorant people. However at college, when he was mocking a group of Christians, they challenged him to prove them wrong. Months later, after he'd intensively researched historical documents throughout Europe, he discovered compelling overwhelming evidence for the reliability of the Christian faith. After trusting in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, Josh's life dramatically changed as he experienced the power of God's love.

Can you imagine everything in your life going well? You’re happily married, have five beautiful children, at the pinnacle of your career and you’ve even managed to provide for your family’s every want and need. Under circumstances like that, it’s easy to say ‘it is well with my soul.’ But what if tragedy struck? Not once, but multiple times. What if your golden life, your ticket to easy street, was taken away in the blink of an eye, at no cause of your own? That is exactly what happened to Horatio Spafford, the man who wrote one of the most soul-stirring hymns in the Christian hymnal, “It Is Well with My Soul.”

Matthew Fontaine Maury was nicknamed "Pathfinder of the Seas" for his contribution to the study of ocean currents.
This dedication sprang not only from his love of the sea-- but from Maury taking God at His word.
"A Brief Sketch of the Work of Matthew Fontaine Maury"
By Richard Launcelot Maury
1915 AD
INTRODUCTION
WHEN I took charge of the Georgia Room, in the Confederate Museum, in Richmond, Virginia in 1897, I found among the De Renne collection an engraving of the pleasant, intellectual face of Commodore Matthew Fontaine Maury, so I went to his son, Colonel Richard L. Maury, who had been with his father in all his work here, and urged him to write the history of it, while memory, papers and books could be referred to; this carefully written, accurate paper was the result. Excerpt:
At one time, when Commodore Maury was very sick, he asked one of his daughters to get the Bible and read to him. She chose Psalm 8, the eighth verse of which speaks of "whatsoever walketh through the paths of the sea," He repeated "the paths of the sea, the paths of the sea, if God says the paths of the sea, they are there, and if I ever get out of this bed I will find them."
He did begin his deep sea soundings as soon as he was strong enough, and found that two ridges extended from the New York coast to England, so he made charts for ships to sail over one path to England and return over the other.
This dedication sprang not only from his love of the sea-- but from Maury taking God at His word.
