Well...I'm working on a "project" and thought I'd post a snippet here. So, take a read and let me know your thoughts. Disregard the cigarette comments as they refer back to earlier snippets...currently undisclosed. Thanks for any insights.

Simply put. Stop pioneering and start settling. Don’t get me wrong. We need pioneers pioneering. But, we desperately need settlers settling. You see…hopefully pioneers have already ransacked your church, community, and culture. Cause without these pioneers, the remainder of this (left blank for now) is absolutely and completely worthless. These pioneers allow fruit to bud and bloom. Allow new believers and tire kickers to seek refuge within your pews. Meanwhile, we’re coughing and scrambling…lighting up the next cigarette. Fully neglecting these believers and kickers. The result? Pioneering fades and this fruit withers unappreciated and unnoticed. Conclusion? Pioneering jumpstarts life while settling grows it.
Without question, on the heels of pioneers pioneering, we need settlers settling. Settlers fertilizing, nurturing, and pruning. Settlers allowing this fruit to ripen! So, inhale your last and toss that cigarette. It’s time to settle on settling…and, as promised, dig a little deeper with EEERR.
No...I didn’t just growl at you. Rather, it’s the lifeblood of the settler.
Engage.
Enlist.
Equip.
Repeat.
Reproduce.
Let’s start with an example and take a look at the Army. They first engage young men and women. Enlist them for duty and equip them for war. Repeat this process and thus reproduce the results. Compounding over and over and over and over. EEERR. Perhaps they’re on to something.
Engage, enlist, and equip. Repeat and reproduce.

Think you'd want more? Until next time. Jed.
