No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit. Helen Keller

That's right, not Activism, which sounds a bit militant, but Activision, which has a solution and full of the Passion that GOD has placed upon our Hearts, we Fearlessly plunge forward armed with the vision of Clean and Living Water for every living soul!
Just wanting to matter. Wanting to be the difference in as many lives as possible. Wanting to serve in the kingdom of GOD to our utmost potential.
If I had to write a doctrine or statement of belief, I guess that'd be it. I hadn't planned it that way, it just came out, as does all my writing. I'm off the cuff. I don't prepare. I try to get out of the way and let the Spirit lead.
So, I've got some statistics and links and videos to share concerning our passion for every human being to have the RIGHT to life sustaining water, because as you'll see, huge corporations are sucking it up and selling it for more than gasoline.

Similar burdened hearts to join us in this cause for basic human rights and service for the kingdom of GOD.
