Hallo again to all.
Lists have become a necessity. Lists of names, email addresses, meetings, and due dates have built upon themselves. It has become a bit troubling. This caused us to create another list – The LIST. The list of what we hope will happen while we are in this temporary position (for a church organization) to ensure a job well done and to retain what bit of sanity we have. It had four items.
The order of lists is often important. Lists of names can be alphabetical, inventory lists are often sorted by category or item number, genealogies by date of birth, to-do lists by date due or order of importance. And this, we realized, was the problem with our list. It was backwards. The list was a reflection of our perception—a perception which didn't reflect our need to have us working out of a place of strength and conviction rather than of fear. The list was upside down. It needed to look like this: Because if working for the church—whether as a musician, archivist, pastor, verger, treasurer, youth missioner, communications director, sexton, webmaster, historian, or an administrative assistant isn't always first and foremost to the glory and service of God, what are we doing? See you next week.
