“Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them authority to cast out evil spirits and to heal every kind of disease and illness.”

I recently was paid a very nice compliment and as I think about it, the more I like it.  I was told, “You make a Trailmix of people”.  My first reaction was, “Huh?”.  But, when it was explained that it appears that I like to bring together people, mix them up and then see what good comes out of it. Well, it’s true.  I love putting people together and I’d go further and say that not only can something good happen, it goes beyond that; magic can happen. Right now, as you are reading this, there are people in your organization who if they knew each other or knew each other better, would find their way to make their work experience better, create a new product, come up with a new service, blow us away with what they can make happen.  We just need to do a better job of mixing it up.

Jesus did not put together a group of people who were all the same when He chose His Disciples.  They were very different.  He showed us that people from different walks of life, when brought together with a common mission and sets of beliefs, well, it isn’t an exaggeration to say they can change the world.  God may be telling us today that it is time to mix it up.  It might be your day to make some T”railmix of people” and then see what God might do with this new mixture.
