Geology

Pete was from Abilene, Texas. He was an oilman, a friend and mentor to me. Among the many bits of wisdom that Pete imparted to me: “Never get to believing your own geology.” This saying comes from the oilfields of west Texas where a man once studied the geological formations of a particular place and decide there was oil under that earth. He set up an oil derrick and drilled down until he was well past where the oil was supposed to be. He simply could not accept the fact that there was no oil there. He drilled and drilled until he ran out of money, believing always in his own geology.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord!
