Tuesday Tongue-Lashing

I know, I know… I’ve been gone from the blog for a while again. I got sick all over again last Sunday morning. This time it was a nasty stomach bug. Wiped me out for a week. But I’m back now. And feeling better.
I have had a great day — spent a couple of hours this morning with my friend Bob catching up. I ran some errands an worked on some of our advertising for Easter Sunday after lunch. Then I had what can only be called an “uber-productive” meeting with Jeff.
We’ve been working together for about 6 months now and it’s amazing how much we’re still learning each other and working on how to be most productive together. I think we made some great strides today towards being more efficient AND effective.Â
I hate it when someone on my team has to lay the smack down on me, but Jeff was right on today. He ripped me a new one for my stubbornness in not going to the doctor with this mess either time. He shared with my how my illness affected everything at ICC and how my pride in not taking care of myself has now resulted in getting half our church sick and hurting the energy dynamic within the church. It pissed me off a little bit…. because he’s right.
Thank God for honest partners in ministry. I’m praying that I have learned my lesson.

Thanks Jim – I guess we all need a good kick in the butt from time to time.
And Bob – Let’s hold off on roughing him up – this was a good one. Save your energy for when I really need you…
