'TIS THE SEASON FOR BEING STILL, STAYING PUT, and NOT QUITTING:-) Jesus said it like this: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. MENO in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it MENOS in the vine, neither can you, unless you MENO in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever MENOS in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not MENO in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you MENO in me, and my words MENO in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. MENO in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will MENO in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and MENO in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full." -Jesus, John 15
