ugh
Lately five minutes is too long to take to write a blog. I think I may have to rename my blog the one minute blog.. but then I would be taking more than a minute to get to it.... We have cars in the shop.. plural. 3 people working only one working car.. that means a lot of taxi driving!
Anyhow, I discovered something, well I already knew it. I was just reminded of it the other day.
An instrument can be in complete tune with itself, and still be WAY off key!
Whats that mean? Well if I tune my guitar I get the E string to sound right fret the next string and tune to match the e etc etc etc I can get the guitar in perfect tune with itself. But if I don't have a good point of reference for my e string.. then the whole guitar is off key.
Orchestras do the same thing, as individuals practice they tune their instruments to make certain they are in tune with themselves, but they have to tune up TOGETHER in order for the whole orchestra to be IN TUNE.
We, as Christians, as people in general need to remember this. It's easy to feel like we are perfectly in tune with God, and we may be, or we may be off a little here or there... Until we are in a place where we can tune off of our neighbors, we may never know.
So watch your tuning. Keep things in perspective and be ready to adjust your tune to match the greater tuning.
My time is up,
My peace I give to you.
