The Ways Of Love Are The Way To Music

Love never gives up.   

Love cares more for others than for self.   

Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.   

Love doesn’t strut,   

Doesn’t have a swelled head,   

Doesn’t force itself on others,   

Isn’t always “me first,”   

Doesn’t fly off the handle,   

Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,   

Doesn’t revel when others grovel,   

Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,   

Puts up with anything,   

Trusts God always,   

Always looks for the best,   

Never looks back,   

But keeps going to the end.  The Message 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now we can answers Tina Turner’s question.

What’s love got to do with it? Everything.

Love is in the business of challenging the status quo.

Without it our souls, our businesses, and our lives are bankrupt.

With it we can orchestrate wonderful music and the world around us will join in with song and dance.

Chapter: Today

Everyday we begin a chapter in our story entitled “Today.”
Don’t leave this chapter undone. Finish it.
When the sun sets, close out today so tomorrow can be opened and begin anew.
Your steps today are not meant for yesterday’s shadows, and don’t allow your steps tomorrow to fall victim from today’s laziness.
Chapter “Today” will make or break chapter “Tomorrow” in your story.

Move

Plan A) Move
In a world that is moving, move with it.
Things happened Saturday and Sunday while you were checked out. Check back in and move.
Advance, progress, change position, and move.
Make a MOViE with your own life, don’t watch one.

Whatever you do, don’t be idle.

Plan B) ________________?
There is no plan B, because it distracts from Plan A.

Mud Puddles and Oceans

Utilizing our imagination reduces the chances for the mundane to creep into our lives.

The minute creativity and newness leaves our lives, businesses, and families we allow the water to get stagnant.

No matter the area of our live’s we look into, if “that’s how we’ve always done it” is the chorus in our music – soon that music will stop.

“That’s how we’ve always done it” puts us knee-deep in inescapable mud.

“What if we….? Could it be…? Imagine what the world would be like if……..” – These questions drop us in the deep blue waters of Capri.

Mud puddles are lame. Crashing waves, on the other hand – I can get lost in those all day.

The question is not how can I utilize my imagination better,  but where does imagination gets its spark from? I’m not too sure, but I tend to feel the rays of her warmth every time I question, every time I challenge the status quo, and every time I stop and listen.

An eager ear given to a small seashell just may be able to unlock the secrets of the ocean your trying to decode.
