“There is no foreign land. It is the traveler only that is foreign.” (RLS) This one caused me to stop and say, “That’s right!” When Ted Turner owned CNN, the use of the word “foreign” was not allowed to be used. “Foreign” means: on the outside or alien. A flight attendant asked my sister’s young grandson, “Where are you from?” He innocently replied, “Planet Earth.” RLS was born in Scotland, tried England, France, the USA and
other places, and finally died in Samoa on planet Earth. ;-) Jack.

FROM PRCH ON CAPE COD: I like this one too! Blessed day!

FROM MOLINER CF: Remember that old nursery rhyme, "Foreign twenty blackbirds baked into a pie?" That's something foreign to find in a pie. FROM JACK: Very clever of you!

FROM PRPH IN MINNESOTA: Harry Wendt of the Crossways Bible study series likes to say that when God looks at the earth he sees no borders, no boundaries, no barriers, and no flags! FROM JACK: It reminds me of John Lennon's song, "Imagine."

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
