Where do you stand?

.
Stand Alone: The beginning. A new thought. A new way. A new cause. The introducer. A stellar idea, but without the support of a following. Destined for failure.

Stand By: The idea spreads. The sheep like the shepherd's plan, but do little to help. Looking to enjoy the fruit, but do nothing to harvest it.

Stand With: Unification with the idea. Rally with the leader to achieve the intended results. Active in promoting the idea and doing what is necessary to obtain the objective. More than being part of a flock, but part of the fight.

So, where do you stand? Do you sit back while other do the work, just waiting to be fed? Are you active in a group and work to reach it's objective? Or, do you shout about things from the privacy of a darkened closet?

Do you simply drop the kids off at school, or do you find yourself as a chaperon for their field trips? Do you just attend your church, or are you doing what you can to spread the Word? Do you cut the trees down, or plant new ones? Are you the provider or the taker? Do you cover your eyes to avoid seeing the truth, or do you speak the truth?

Take a Stand!
