Many of our poems are written on our hearts and whether we are aware of them or not they help smooth some of the rough spots we sometimes find ourselves in.

upon the cozy life we’d built.
Three children
made our patchwork warm,
but also frayed, sometimes torn.
Later on,when
they had moved across the mountains’ rolling green,
beyond the blue sky and the dream,
we washed the old quilt, made it clean.
We threw
it o’er the line to dry;
It flapped and snapped a sad goodbye.
Then we laid it on the bed again,
where we dream about them now and then.

What we need is a radical shift in thinking. We need national goals and MO's that we can all get behind. And this is making the assumption that our world is not going to overheat in the near future and burn us all up.

It is the balance of power between free will and puppets on a string—we need to live our lives as if what we do on an individual basis makes a difference. If one or two companies control our corn and the rest of what we eat and centralized farming, etc. continues, then any natural disaster is going to throw the rest of the equation out of kilter.

Dylan also said in the late 60's: You have thrown the worst fear that can ever be hurled, the fear to bring children into this world.

In these uncertain times, we need to have our focus on spiritual things, not things on earth. And that is certainly a challenge for me but one that I know I need to take.

In some ways, we approach its fulfillment. In other ways, we have fallen short. But I can tell you this: the Kingdom that Christ hath founded is much greater than that. You and I could go today to Tanzania, or China, or Ecuador, or Romania, or Myrtle Beach, or most any place on earth, and we would find there believers in the Lord Jesus whose faith originated with those first seeds sown by Peter, Paul, etc. This thing is far, far bigger than what happens between "two or more of you." He also manifests wherever "two or more (hundreds, thousands, millions)agree. The Kingdom of God is destined to occupy all the earth.
What you have observed about the cell(group) is also true of the entire organism (Body of Christ) and is much more awesome that we can comprehend.
