J is for...

Jazz

Jazz  noun

Jazz is a type of  music where the musicians pay some attention to the  flow of the music and use. Their musical. Gifts to make  their instruments  produce a variety of  sounds in a flexible  space.  When jazz is done well it is neither  possible. Nor necessary  to have an exact plan or musical score as the single musician  is very expressive and the surrounding cast listens well enough to add to the this first  melody or  to provide  supportive harmonies.    If you listen to. Jazz. You will find that themes are important, yet. Folks don’t get. Upset with small detours and experiements by well  trained participants.  so it is with seeking peace and joy.  People have important themes in their lives  but the tune may not always. Follow along exactly. As  originally. Scripted.  In these cases you can choose to take a few minutes to support someone else’s  seeking  or you can improvise to add to  a new melody of your own.  Flexibility  and applying your gifts seems to be a feature of.

Jesus

Jesus ...noun ... 

This blog generally. Stays away from  religious. Content, however, we’re going  there now because. Jesus  (no matter what you  believe) seemed to be a great teacher for those  seeking  peace and joy.  There is of. Course  all the parables  which are life lessons. That lead toward peaceful ways of interpreting  rough experiences.  there are prayers that have great cross-over messages for all  people of any faith... for example 

“Give us today our daily bread...” which reminds. Us to worry only about the here and now... a dominant theme in  almost all religious  doctrines.  Jesus built a network of apostles who provided support for  the message he wanted  to provide the world.  He made it clear that claims about him being King of the Jews were claims made by others and that wasn’t his concern.  In seeking peace and. Joy it is not necessary most of the time to  be seen as the leader of a cause or a purpose, it is enough to let people know you fully support  somethimng and will act accordingly.  Jesus  helped other people  celebrate and worried about  the public as  he pulled off the loaves and fishes  feat and of course turned the water into wine.  the point is... he  pre3ached the message and didn’t need the hero. Worship until  he had to provide  the final example of  overcoming  worldly. Problems and often in seeking peace and. Joy we will have to provide unconventional. Examples to suggest to robbers what may be possible.    I’m not saying anyone should go around playing  God...of what ever you  call the mighty dirty or universal  light... I am suggesting that seeking peace and joy is not a solitary person’s effort, it requires. “Daily bread”, and if you can turn water into wine (or add something to someone else’s joy)  many things will become. Possible.

Jeopardy 

Jeopardy.  Noun 

A game show where  asking the ought questions is important and asking many questions is almost always  productive and profitable.  curiousity is  critical  in training for. This game and quickly shifting.from one  set of thoughts to  another is also  important.  so... being flexible and  curious are qualities that help  Jeopardy players and those seeking peace and joy.   The more questions we ask the better we might do and the quicker we accept new challenges where solutions area needed. The more rewarding our experiences. Might be.  

To sum up learn, be flexible, and ask many questions and signal that you are ready to do so... and you may do well in the peace and joy tournament!

Justice

Justice Noun 

a pope—-not. That long ago reminded us. “If you want Peace....work for justice.’  I believe it was. John the 23rd.   (Did you ever wonder if some of those popes had childhood nicknames and what  church doctrine. Would. Look like if  you had like a Pope Skippy or even like Cardinal Chuck?  I do hope that we will have. Pope Mary or Teresa sometime in my lifetime, however that might take a miracle.  Then again ... if you’re looking for miracles... the Pople is a better place to  start than say a corporate lawyer I’m thinking.... okay back to justice

Justice means  seeking equality and fairness in  relationships and in these relationships it means coming to an agreement on meanings and actions.  seeking Justice and then not clinging to  everlasting character assassinations  based on one time actions.  Justice is a way of teaching  personal responsibility and doesn’t need to become the mandate for anyone to judge everyone for all time.  

Justice can be situational and can be followed by forgiveness.  

OK.  Some folks might have notices that. This dictionary  segment didn’t. Include “Joy”.  How about you. Just spend some time thinking about what would make five people you know more joyful... and then turn to you and see how those five people’s joy might be. Connected. To you... just like the jazz musicians  and  then
