In Any Land

Jennifred Jones

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.

It’s a Contest!

Who will you let win?

We really can control the outcome!

We don’t have to allow another’s bad choice to to cause us to make bad choices.

We are only responsible for ours. Let them be responsible for theirs.

They hate, we maintain love.

They control, we keep our peace.

They yell, we keep a calm voice.

They destroy, we build up.

They pull back, we lean in.

They accuse, we bless.

They speak lies, we speak truth.

They divide, we multiply.

… and really, these voices are not just those of others; we hear them shouting in our own heads. Are we going to let them in….let them win?

Steer yourself the direction you want to go.

Stay on the path.

Pull Out the Stops!

Jennifred Jones

It’s time to pull out all the stops!

In organ lingo, that means—let all the pipes you got play!

Let ‘er rip! Open it up! We want the FULL SOUND!!!

It’s time for all us us to step up and step it up. Our world needs to hear all the notes we have been given to play.

We are here for a reason and every pipe in the organ is needed and needs to be played now!

If you can only play softly at first…begin there. At least get your organ legs moving. The Master Organist will bring out your sound loud and clear as you let His wind blow across your pipes.

What is stopping your music from being played? Can you find out and open it up to share with the world?

We need to hear your sound.
