Fear can be a barrier to accomplishing your plans and fulfilling your purpose. Discouragement is another huge barrier. A certain John Pierpont failed in just about everything he attempted – teaching, business, law, poetry, ministry, politics. When he died in 1866, he had achieved none of his ambitions. But where he saw failure, others found a kind and honest man who stood against slavery and for social reform. And he left the world a remarkable legacy and a tune that is played millions of times around Christmas time – “Jingle Bells.” Its simple, happy words still echo from one Christmas season to the next.
