In Any Land

In any land you have a mix of people. You have a mix of thoughts.

  • The positive thinkers the negative thinkers.
  • The good doers the bad doers.
  • Those who have direction and those who’ve lost their direction.
  • Those who have hope and those with no hope.

All these contrasts and differences; how can they work, live – even be together? We who are strong are to bear the infirmities of the weak, yet each man must bear his own load. How does this all work?

That’s why there are standards/guiding principles to help us live even when we don’t feel the best or want to do the best. I’m thinking of two right now:

  1. In as much as possible with you, be at peace with all men. You do what you can, and let the rest be, and continue on with your life.
  2. The Golden Rule: Treat others as you want to be treated. Again, do your best and leave the rest.

If in our little areas (our ‘campsites’) we abide by these guidelines, we will find ways to work together and meet the needs of others.

Let’s work together.

Your Campsite

We each live somewhere. That’s our campsite.

In each of our individual campsites we have the choice how we want to live and what we want to think. Within the laws of the land in which we live, we have that right.

So why do so many choose to live a terrible, unorganized, filthy life? Our choices have led us there. And as they have led us there, better choices can lead us elsewhere.

We need to reclaim our campsite – put out the fire, sweep up the ashes and get started on a brand new day! Chop down invasive trees and weeds. Cultivate the soil, plant new seeds, water the land so it will grow and produce goods for us and ours!

Reclaim your pioneer spirit making the best of what you have and increase it.

If we listen closely inside ourselves, God will direct us and give us new ideas to make better decisions and ways of doing things.

We can get our campsites organized, swept up and on to our next destination! Isn’t it fun? A new adventure each and every day!
