\nHe\u2019s back with even more eyebrow-raising hilarity and deep-rooted
\nconviction. Colonel Jay Clason willingly jumped back in the hot seat at
\nTerminal Exchange to finish the tale from his last episode\u2019s cliffhanger. Plus,
\nhe\u2019s got more war stories and advice to share.
\n
\n
\n
\nIn the slush of
\nwinter, Jay questions why you learn to put chains on in a warm, dry
\nenvironment? And he\u2019s got a more realistic way to train.
\n
\n
\n
\nAnd with so many
\nstories to tell, we jump from tire chains to an encounter with a North American
\nelephant \u2013 that is not a statue, I repeat, it is not a statue, and how visiting
\nchurches and showing up to God appointments throughout the nation has given him
\nsome fantastic stories to tell.
\n
\n
\n
\nFrom conversations
\nin American cabs to conversations on the hoods of Humvees in communist
\ncountries, come close, because Jay has some stories to tell.

\n* \u201cMy recommendation for our trainers is bring the
\ntrainee in and put down about three inches of ice and let him lay in it, and
\nwhen he\u2019s up underneath there trying to fasten it, well, just throw a couple of
\nbuckets of ice water on him. And he\u2019ll be prepared for the real world.\u201d* \u201cThat thing starts shaking violently, and all of
\na sudden the door pops open, and this soldier comes flying out backward,
\njumping on one foot and his boot\u2019s on fire!\u201d* \u201cThis fella jumped up on my running board, I
\nrolled down the window, and he says, \u2018Just wait right here, I\u2019ll get my
\nelephant.\u2019\u201d* \u201cIt was like the spirit of God was impressing on
\nme to stop and help this guy.\u201d* \u201cShe said, \u2018You are here as an answer to my
\nprayer. I\u2019m 87 years old. I have been praying for my husband to become a
\nChristian since the day we got married. I have been praying in the past two
\nweeks, \u2018Lord, do not let me die without knowing what happened to my husband.
\nYou are here in answer to prayer, and I can pass in peace.\u2019\u201d* \u201cYou never know who you\u2019re going to meet where and
\nwhat opportunity the Lord is going to give. And it may be the last opportunity
\nfor that individual.\u201d* \u201cJust as my boot hit the ground and I look out
\nthere, I\u2019ve got 17 AK47\u2019s pointed right at my chest.\u201d* \u201cI\u2019m gonna die, but I sure hope none of my
\nsoldiers do. And I really hope that that young Corporal on that second Humvee
\nis manning that machine gun.\u201d* \u201cHe lamented to my mom, \u2018If that boy could do
\nhis homework as well as he remembered jokes, he\u2019d be a straight-A student.\u2019\u201d
