 When something feels funky...engage!

Great leadership principle.  Sometimes I shy away from pushing or investigating something that doesn't quite feel right; but lately I have been putting the above principle into practice and it is paying off huge!  I guess another way to say it would be "be proactive rather than reactionary"  Rather than wait for the situation to turn worse, try to fix it on the front end.   When something feels funky...engage!

Don't you just want to shave your head somedays?

Laughter

A meeting that I look forward too each week is our finer things meeting.  This is a time I have scheduled to do a book review, watch a video, or discuss finer things with the production team.  We meet often and usually those meetings are surrounded with deadlines and tasks.  The finer things meeting has none of that.  Well anyway this has been a particularly busy and trying season for us.  So I wanted to make sure we got this meeting in.  Boy was it fun, sharing thoughts of conviction, inspiration, and vision.  As a team we were literally laughing out loud in the restaurant (Renee's).  

This is important, work will always be there.  Working with a great team is something that should never be taken for granted.  I truly appreciate each individual I get to share life with.  In the midst of tough times try and laugh, surround yourself with people that make you laugh.  Its a gift, what would life be without it?

Lets try something new.  I'm actually going to ask for a response from you reader.  When was the last time you laughed?  I mean really laughed?  Leave a comment, I'd love to hear from ya.

What Could Have Been

There was a point in the season where the Royals were in first and on a winning streak.  Its time to bring back George Brett.   

TWANG

So I'm finding out that I don't plan on going "deep" with each ism entry.  I enjoy the deep thoughts, and probably should have more of those but I don't want to force it.  So todays random... bringing back the twang!  That's right, Jorge and the worship team brought down the house with some serious camp mtg. music.  Let me just say that fiddle was a rockin.  Here's the thing I DONT LIKE TWANG!  I really don't like twang, but as one of my volunteers said "different is good".  And the audience seemed to dig it, the team a good job.  My question is this, why are those the songs that get stuck in my head?  Why not music I like?  What is so special about an annoying song that it just gets stuck there?  Is it the same with all annoying things?  In some strange way do annoyances get all the attention?  Just a thought, a random one at that.
