A Journey Home

Beschreibung

We have news reporters to cover the White House, The United Nations, and correspondents who cover national and international news. We don't have anyone to cover heaven. The Apostle John was given a vision of heaven and wrote about it. The Apostle Paul saw the third heaven, but he wasn't allowed to talk about it; that was 2,000 years ago. The world is now changing drastically, and my friend, Anderson McCollister, is right in the middle of the changes. Anderson is an unpretentious family man, who wouldn't have the faintest desire to have a story written about him. However, I believe his story should be recorded and shared. Anderson is the most conscientious person I know. He is compassionate and somewhat idealistic; he wants the best for everyone! I've known him, since he moved from Indiana to retire in Tennessee. He and his wife, Ruth, bought a house and land in Sevier County over twenty years ago. Some people don't believe the story about Anderson; however, many people reject the stories in the Bible. Anderson's experiences were told to me by his sister, Lydia, and his best friend, Kenny, from Maggie Valley, North Carolina. When I first heard about Anderson, it took a while for my finite brain to process the phenomena. I finally realized that the incredible report did make sense; largely, because I'm living in a fast-changing world (and it isn't getting better). Just a few months after my community and the rest of the world started drastically changing, I believe Anderson got caught up in the middle of those changes. I was told that Anderson had some serious concerns about his sister, daughter and his best friend. I know that Anderson is a man of prayer, and I believe God heard his prayers. One day I would like to see Anderson again, and hear him tell about what happened. Fortunately, you can read the story for yourself, and determine the veracity of Anderson's journeys.

William Clark, born on August 1, 1770, in Caroline County, Virginia, was an American explorer, soldier, and territorial governor. In 1785, his family relocated to Kentucky, where he later joined the militia and participated in campaigns against Native American tribes. By 1792, Clark had been commissioned as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army, serving under General Anthony Wayne and playing a significant role in the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794.In 1803, Meriwether Lewis invited Clark to co-lead the Corps of Discovery, an expedition to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and seek a route to the Pacific Ocean. From 1804 to 1806, the expedition traversed uncharted territories, documenting diverse landscapes, establishing relations with numerous Native American tribes, and mapping the region. Clark's cartographic skills were instrumental in creating detailed maps that guided future explorers and settlers.After the expedition, Clark was appointed brigadier general of the Louisiana Territory militia and served as a federal Indian agent. In 1813, he became the governor of the Missouri Territory, a position he held until 1820. Later, as Superintendent of Indian Affairs, Clark oversaw numerous treaties that led to significant land cessions from Native American tribes, facilitating American expansion westward. He passed away on September 1, 1838, in St. Louis, Missouri, leaving a complex legacy intertwined with exploration and the nation's growth.
