In Australia we had a similar person called Granny Smith. When she came out here as
a convict, she had a passion for apples. It was very hard grow decent apples in our
sandy clay soil. The apples were small and tasted foul. Granny Smith crossed the two
varities we had and produced an apple that grew well in the conditions. Granny's
apples soon became very popular and guards had to be placed around her small
orchard to protect the crop from thieves. Her apples were not only good to eat,but
were
great for cooking. Granny would make a number of pies each day and give them away
on the condition she could tell about Jesus. Today we honour this lady by calling her
apples 'Granny Smiths'. These apples are now sold around the world.
Where did she get the inspiration to cross breed the two apples? From praying for the
Colony, which is now a great nation. Who said that prayer can not change a nation,
Granny Smith is proof that we can.
There's a storm coming, our Storm.
