Dreaming of America - Rev. Paul Gonyea

“I believe the reason this country has become, and remains, such a powerful presence in the world is not because of any physical characteristics. It is because we represent an idea. And that idea, if you think about it, is a Divine idea. The word “divine” simply means, if you look it up in the dictionary, “coming from God.” Which means, in terms of the way WE describe God — as a perfect Loving Intelligence, creating the world through us, in accordance with consistent and unchanging physical and spiritual laws — that the principles upon which this country was founded were nothing more or less than spiritually grounded ideas and beliefs and desires that supported our inherent desire to live life in a better and greater way.”~Paul Gonyea
