IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER!



There are certain parts of movies that just hang on. One of my favorites is a moment at Camp Mohawk when the Lake "something" Olympics were taking place. Of course the rich kids camp was winning and Camp Mohawk chances are slim and none. Head Counselor Bill Murry steps up to give the motivational talk to the seemly dumed campers and profoundly states that no matter what they did all the really good looking chick would still go out with the kids at Morning Star because they had all the money. And then he begins to chant "it just doesn't matter, it just doesn't matter, it just doesn't matter" over and over till the whole camp is screaming "it just doesn't matter. "



Recently I was apart of two meeting where "well-to-do" men and woman came together for some common purposes. Of course that is an assumption on my part because my conclusions are that both groups wanted the same results but weren't welling to give up part of themselves to accomplish a common good. I guess they all were inwardly chatting "it just doesn't matter.".

Facts are, it really does matter. It matters that we are together in what our efforts can accomplish and even more it really does matter that we realize that God is able to meet ours and the needs of others exceedingly abundantly beyond our greatest expectation.

It is time for us all to put aside ourselves for others and do what is right instead of what is proper or fitting.
