I moved here to rural Virginia as a teenager where I would work restaurants, garden, and put up hay with the farmers. Two main points of the Pentecostal Holiness teaching of the time.

1. Jesus was portrayed as a beautiful figure (as in the video photo)
2. Hopes were laid on seeing him at any time.

I would lay in bed with the kady dids singing, the fireflies lighting up the mountain, open door with the fresh mountain air cooling my body in my grannies clean sheets. And... The Holy Spirit would come down and ask me things like, "Where is all that stress, worry, and bad feelings?" In which I would marvel at such wonderful spirituality. Oh! To go back to such simplistic times! And regarding Holiness it was automatic as John said...

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. - 1 John 3:3
