The Beginning of Love Lines
On a Sunday evening in March of 1972 Diane and I and three friends. Dean and Dolly Danielson and Herb Pfiffiier, went to KTIS radio studios to answer telephones for "The Scott Ross Show."

We were all amazed and took out our Campus Crusade "Four Spiritual Law" booklets and shared the plan of salvation with the callers.

Diane had come along to pray for us so she didn't plan to take any calls. The rest of us were busy for 3 hours. Just are
