CHAPTER 18

PROTECTION

As they walked back toward the house, Nicole paid attention to her surroundings for the first time since her arrival. The snow capped Tetons were visible, rising above the pine trees that shielded the view of the house from the road. She noticed a large meadow with tall green grass and some wild flowers, and then she spotted the corral. "I love your ranch, Sam. It's so beautiful! You're set up for horses, but I don't see any."

"I'd love to have horses. Maybe someday, but for now, I have to be ready to pick up and leave at a moment's notice. There'd be nobody to care for them. That's why I don't have a dog either. I figure with chickens, I can just open the door of the pen and they can scrounge for themselves while I'm gone. I love the eggs and they're little to no work."

"You just need a wife, Sam."

"Whoa there lady! You better watch yourself. Just because we're working together doesn't give you the right to go planning my demise!"

Nicole laughed. "Don't worry; I wasn't planning anything, just offering a suggestion. But demise? You must have a terrible view of marriage."

"Been there and done that and don't intend to head that direction ever again."

"I'm sorry Sam."

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "It was a long time ago. The one redeeming thing is my daughter and grandson."

They had stopped walking and were standing just off the front porch enjoying the view and what was left of the sunshine. Dark clouds were quickly moving across the sky in their direction, promising rain.

Nicole broke into the silent moment. "There is a peace here Sam. Now I understand that it's truly the peace of Jesus Christ."

Sam smiled. "The first thing I did when I purchased this land was to kick off the evil spirits that had been attached to it, then I dedicated it to the Lord, anointed it in oil, asked the Holy Spirit to move in here and to cleanse and heal it. I know that this might sound a little out there, but I believe that it was really chosen by God to be a place of safety and refuge like one of the seven cities of refuge in the Bible."

Nicole gasped, and then just stood there with her mouth hanging open, trying to comprehend the enormity of God's greatness and His plans. It was as if she was seeing the world through His eyes for just a moment. She saw Samaria, her city of refuge, now Sam's ranch refuge, and in her mind's eye she saw the globe with other cities or places of refuge popping up here and there.

"Hey lady, what's going on?"

"Oh Sam, it is all so wonderful and hopeful! That's our vision for Samaria as well! A city of refuge! I think God was just showing me that He is placing this same vision in His people all over the world! He is setting up places of refuge
