Are you part of the team?



A house divided against itself cannot stand.  An athletic team filled with “ grand standers” does not win pennants.  A stage play infested with “scene stealers” quickly becomes a flop.

You cannot grow by pulling opposite to your team.  It is only through cooperation that you will rise above the crowd.

Personality attractiveness is determined by the spirit of cooperation that you and I bring into our corner of the world daily.

“Humans are made for cooperation.
We've been given like hands, like
feet, like upper and lower teeth,
like eyelids…these are made to
work together.  To act against one
another, then, is contrary to nature!”
Marcus Aurelius, A successful
Roman Emperor.

LIFE HAS A 'GRAMMAR' LESSON FOR EACH OF US


Live in the active voice, not the passive.  Think more about what you make happen than what happens to you.

Live in the present tense, facing the duty at hand without regret for the past or worry for the future.

Live in the first person, seeking to develop your life rather than finding fault with others.

Live in the singular number, caring about the approval of God for your conscience instead of going for the applause of the crowd.

And for a verb to conjugate, no one can find a better one than “to love.”  Use I Corinthians 13 as the guide.
