egos get in the way

From my friend Pat...

I confess to being a child of the 60s. And I have always held the music of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young close: they blended a sweet harmony of voice to produce an almost intoxicating brew of sound. When they sing with one another, the harmony is unparalleled.

Unfortunately, their personal lives apart and together belied their music. Mostly they fought with one another about a collection of “Me” issues: egos, drugs, and so on. These guys could not get it together to stay together. And they still let such things get in the way, in spite of 50 years of experience. Who’d a thunk that adults could be so stupid.

Its a testament that working together, being with others, can lead to beautiful things. While focusing on our selves can get in the way of the great things we can accomplish with others. Its amazing what you can get done when you don’t care who gets the credit.

Christ teaches us to be with one another, and tells us how. CSNY is an example of beauty that can result from that way of life. Imagine if we could all put ourselves in a place where we could truly be WITH those around us. It might be something we could Teach Our Children in Our House.(google it if you don’t get it)


It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
