“The past is another country.” Indeed. What a strange country Johnny Appleseed would see if he was among us today. The one thing he might still recognize is the fruit of his trees - and perhaps that faith can still drive men to noble deeds.

My Church is that very fruit. For me, it is a well springing with the living waters that can be drawn from again and again.

We have a wonderful chat last night on our online site about how we can find our voice (again). My take away for my little ministry is to focus on a positive message and avoid getting into situations where I do not belong. Be interested, not interesting and allow the Lord to do His work.

I woke up this morning and set my intention to see the good in all things. I won't roll over and be humiliated but stick to my convictions and principals. I believe the Lord will make fools of those who stand in the way of His kingdom.

Our online site is: Swedenborgian Community
