Disney's Platform Standards

Tonight I found a link that revealed some rules Disney employees must follow. To me, Disney is the measuring stick for customer satisfaction. It's a very pricey experience, but it's true that you get what you pay for. When you have a Disney experience it's rare that it's a negative one.

The simple truth is that "those picky rules" make for a magical day.

In our music department our goal goes from the fantasy of magic to the reality of the miraculous. And "those picky rules" are important to our reaching the goal of the supernatural.

How & why? Because obedience & unity are spiritual. Therefore, when we bring ourselves into step with the pre-ordained rules & regulations designed by leaders with pure intention to create an atmosphere of faith, God's favor is the result. When, however, we cheat the system, or skirt the details of the rules, there is but one bottom-line result: distrust. If one choir member can't depend on the other to be present, if one seems to "get away" with something, if one seems to carry the weight of promptness or attendance, and so forth; there's an inability to feel strength in numbers. Instead it feels as if you're alone in your attempts. That gets wearisome & eventually feels like more than one should bear. Distrust among the body is as crippling to the miraculous as distrust toward God. You will not have faith toward God if you do not have faith in his body. Each one must give each other the ability to have faith and trust that we're all stepping up to the bat and giving it our BEST shot, not a half-hearted tag in.

After reading some of these Disney rules I don't feel nearly so bad about our platform standards. We actually have an eternal reason for our efforts.

Thank you, Disney employees, for following the Disney standards and making a consistent magical experience. 

And THANK YOU, Souls Harbor music department, for following the Biblical standards and making a consistent miraculous experience.
