The fear beneath every fear, Starr Daily says, is the fear of not being loved, and faith alone will not cast it out. This talk to the 1958 Texas Hill Country CFO recalls a South Carolina household frozen in silent blame after a boy died. It also recalls the cellmate who told him to love the jailer who locked him in nightly or get out of the business.
Creation is love at every level, Starr Daily says, and surrender is a rising rather than a defeat. Prayer that lifts up Jesus draws a person out of the pull of the earth into the kingdom of compassion. He tells the Texas Hill Country CFO in 1958 of a ragged stranger who asked for work, half waxed the floor, said a few words that ended a crisis at home, and was gone.
At the Texas Hill Country CFO in 1958, Starr Daily tells campers that most personal petitions are already answered and wait only to be acted on. He follows three women named Harriet who prayed themselves steadily worse. Among them was a concert violinist who came right only when she carried her music into Sing Sing prison.
Everything is passing away, from quill pen to fountain pen and wood fire to oil. Starr Daily reads the same newness in what he calls the age of the Holy Spirit. He tells the Texas Hill Country CFO in 1958 that God promises joy, peace and power, and then trouble. Trouble is the only one of the four that makes anyone grow.
A minister who studied until his faith was gone ended in prison for forgery. Starr Daily, night nurse in the prison hospital, prayed with him until both his ulcers and his spiritual blindness were healed. The talk warns the Texas Hill Country CFO in 1958 that “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by” and can be let pass.
Starr Daily traces the inner tension of religious people to a refusal to walk in love, and contrasts it with a tensionless but stagnant life he had glimpsed from a passing train. From the 1958 Texas Hill Country CFO.
Walking through John 6 at the Texas Hill Country CFO in 1958, Gertrude Dekock Keehn shows that Jesus meant the bread of life as his word, not his literal body. She then leads a Communion meditation built around a grain of wheat breaking through the soil like a small earthquake.
Starr Daily gives campers a meditation discipline from the Sermon on the Mount. Quiet the body, confess the secret sins of the imagination, and forgive. Then turn Jesus over in the mind like “a great big diamond” until contemplation arrives as a gift. This is one of his last talks at the Texas Hill Country CFO in 1958, given before communion.
In a closing-night talk at the Texas Hill Country CFO in 1958, Starr Daily maps the sure roads to a nervous breakdown: resisting your work, hoarding guilt, and refusing to forgive. He answers each of them with “Let all that ye do be done in love.” He answers them too with the pastor who drew a woman’s decades-old guilt out of her and threw it out the hospital window.
Given at the 1958 Texas Hill Country CFO. Gertrude Dekock Keehn describes recovering the awareness of the unbroken presence of God, imaged as a pinpoint of light at the center of the self that we abandon for a life lived on the circumference. She recounts God asking her, “where are you, Gertrude.”

Gertrude Dekock Keehn tells how a skeptical broadcasting manager let her record four timed talks on condition the religion came out. She treats prayer itself as a broadcast for the Texas Hill Country CFO in 1958, one that reached her son John through five and a half years as a prisoner of war.

Gertrude Dekock Keehn takes Paul’s paradox that freedom in Christ frees a person to become servant to all, entering other people’s places and weaknesses without judgment. She recalls a night in a Johannesburg cell comforting a terrified teenage girl, and a class of fifty Jewish men that ran for a year. From the 1958 Texas Hill Country CFO.
