HILLARY, HILLARY, WHEREFORE ART THOU, HILLARY?

The title is a simple question to answer, but let's look at some background first.

When Hillary Clinton speaks, most listeners don't know that she's earning $3,750 a minute. This is easily calculated because her contract demands that her speaking and the question/

It’s simple: It is all about Him, end of story. Ephesians 1 illustrates how Father (1:6), Son (1:12), and Holy Spirit (1:14) each work together for the glory of God. His activities serve His own purpose of expressing His character, demonstrating His glory. If we will understand this simple, central Biblical truth, our lives will be more fruitful, and we will have a much better grasp of what He is doing in and around us. - See more at: http://www.drcone.com/2013/12/02/7-core-values-for-effective-life-and-ministry/#sthash.s7njGmgo.dpuf

answer time will not, under any circumstances exceed one hour, thus bringing her the sum of $225,000 per speech. (Hard work, but somebody has to do it.)

However, there are other contractual conditions before she comes to speak and these conditions must be met by the host shelling out such happy cabbage. Hillary will have final approval of who introduces her to the audience. You'll also find in the contract that, while Hillary is speaking, no one else is on the stage.

Speaking of the stage, Hillary's press agency will will have final approval of any “sets, backdrops, banners, scenery, logos, settings, etc which are in any way related to her speech or any other activities associated with the speaker’s appearance."

The organization sponsoring the event must furnish a stenographer whom they'll pay $1,250 for the time Mrs. Clinton is speaking.  The sponsor must agree that the transcript is the speaker's property, not the organization's.

There will be a question and answer time (that's part of the sixty minutes) and Hillary has the final approval of the moderator, since the questions will not be addressed directly to her, but will go through the moderator.

THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF THE TITLE

So, the answer to the question the title asks is, "All alone on center stage."

Many may shake their heads at Hillary's demands, but should we, since Paul writes, "Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things." (Rom. 2)

We may not have the contractual clout of Mrs. Clinton, but do we "practice the same things?" Any battle-fatigued veteran of countless church business meetings will testify in any court of law that he has witnessed people's demanding and taking center stage, bulldozing others to do things their way. 

He's seen people's taking center stage to manipulate the church to his way through angry words, name calling, and storming-out-the-door-tactics. Our battle-scarred veteran has seen the same people using secret meetings to take center stage, working behind the curtain. Satan has torn up many a church by using "the center stage" strategy.

This demand for center stage isn't limited to church meetings; marriages crumble because one partner is constantly manipulating the other to get their way through tears, yelling, threatening, or even physical abuse. 

Such is the way of the human being, the unsaved and, to our shame, the carnal saved. 

THE BETTER WAY

It’s simple: It is all about Him, end of story. Ephesians 1 illustrates how Father (1:6), Son (1:12), and Holy Spirit (1:14) each work together for the glory of God. His activities serve His own purpose of expressing His character, demonstrating His glory. If we will understand this simple, central Biblical truth, our lives will be more fruitful, and we will have a much better grasp of what He is doing in and around us. - See more at: http://www.drcone.com/2013/12/02/7-core-values-for-effective-life-and-ministry/#sthash.aOOYsXpB.dpuf

But there is a better way and we can sum it up by saying: It's simple. It's all about Him. End of story. We are far less important than we think we are. He must increase, but we must decrease. If we stand with that posture, then our lives will be fruitful, with less self-induced misery and the misery we cause others when we seize center stage.
