Marching On--as Rev. Vencenz used to say

[Jim Spencer]

Anyas and I moved to Medford Oregon last April, after being in Alaska for 26 years. We raised 3 children there--Sunji, Tarik, and Sarah.

We opened our 11th retail store, a health food store, in August, in Ashland Oregon. Things have not gone well, as business faltered---creating much anxiety, fear, and even depression. So, we decided to go for broke and add a smoothie and espresso bar to the mix. Last week was our first week of operation on this added element. And so far, sales have been pretty good! So, the Heartsong Nutrition Project seems to go forward again.

In our store, we have a meditation/prayer/workshop room. We invite the community to conduct their higher purpose activities there in that sacred space. And you know what? God is bringing people. God is active. God is connecting us with truth seekers who are seeking the heart of God. God continues to work with those children of His that are trying to live His will, the consecrated life of unconditional love and service-----just the way that was taught by Father and by Jesus.

So fellow missionaries, God is still calling to each one of us. He has many gifts to bequeath us while we are still here, walking the rugged physical earth life. Don't give up. Awaken that light that still burns within. Heed the call, in whatever way He is calling you.

Anyas and I spent many years wandering in the wilderness. We consider ourselves blessed to once again, walk in the light.

If any of you are ever out this way, stop into our store in Ashland Oregon, 1461 Siskiyou Blvd---and visit The Heartsong Project---a cathedral in the making. We'd love to see you.

In Christ,
