The way life should be...
You'll recognize this as the main theme of Maine. As the territorial review team prepares to review the great Northern New England Division, we are distracted by the beauty of this area and the wholesome attitudes of the residents. As usual, everyone we are meeting here is friendly and positively engaging.
On Wednesday and Thursday we will be listening, looking and living the NNE experience. Majors Rick and Janet Munn are surrounded by a holy team of partners and stakeholders who understand the mission and their role in it. This corner of the country is anchored by substantive Salvationists, praying and practicing their faith to the delight of God.
I don't mean to suggest that it's easy, but it works because the Army here is graceful. Filled with the Spirit and directed by the Word of God, these Salvationists will continue to lead the way in their communities and in the hearts of young and old...the way Christian life should be...They're keeping the main thing, the Maine (and NH, and VT) thing.
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 (NIV)

my two years in maine were the two most wonderful years in my life. When i was moved, my heart broke. There is something inherently special about the people of NNE...about the land.....about the army up there.
There's a peice of my heart that will ALWAYS live in Maine.
Please give my love to Janet and Rick when you speak with/see them.
God is truly good! As it is His providential care over us that we have one another to encourage, challenge and affirm. All around me I see God's handiwork in nature and human form.
Thank you for sharing God's movement throughout His vinyard with us.
Blessings!
