Closing out the week at the 1981 California Ocean Pines CFO, Hope Peale recalls a guide on a rocky climb near Prescott, Arizona, who told her to “put your feet where mine are,” and she carries that lesson into the spiritual walk. She also tells of a Korean immigrant woman who spent a week at camp with her family, whose changed temper won over a skeptical husband without a word of explanation.

Hope Peale extends her athlete of the spirit theme into training for cooperation rather than competition. She compares trust to the sun, which is still present even when it is unseen. She also recalls how she waited one day too long to tell a troubled student how much he had changed, before he was sent to juvenile hall. The talk was given at the California Ocean Pines CFO in 1981.

Hope Peale compares the Gospels to a cookbook whose recipes do no good unless they are cooked. She also voices concern that the movement remains “a very white group of people” as the country around it changes. She brought both to the California Ocean Pines CFO in 1981.

In 1981, at the California Ocean Pines CFO, Hope Peale tells how her mother-in-law feared losing love to new grandchildren, and how that fear gave way to love that multiplies. She also tells how forgiving the group that drove her daughter to divorce broke her own fever within minutes.

Harry Starbuck describes what he calls intentional living at the California Ocean Pines CFO in 1981. He writes his purpose in a journal, sets goals, and trusts God to guide the details. He did all of this while caring for his first wife Audrey through five years of cancer before her death.
