The Fellowship
Redwood trees have shallow roots. Standing by themselves, with one small wind they easily topple. It is only by interlocking with the root systems of others that they are able to grow strong and tall, a beautiful tribute to God’s creation.
As an addict, I am only “one drink” away from “toppling” and going back “out there”. The fellowship offers me the support system of other recovering addicts to help me to grow strong – strong in recovery – and able to stand tall and free. I become a beautiful example of what my Higher Power can do in one life, surrounded by the fellowship of others

The bautiful reality of God's providence is that He's spread "redwoods" all over the world. I can relate to your perfect analogy as I sit here in Japan being encouraged by your words. I'm grateful for the fellowship and your electronic media saavy. Thanks so much...
