The Growth Paradox
Every church wants to grow.
At least I think and hope so. On a rudimentary level I guess it can be a type of measuring stick by which we judge how well we are doing. This can and has been misused when “the numbers” become the sole focus but I won’t be talking about that. This morning I was thinking about the differences in feelings towards growth. On one hand I feel like the idea of growth should be exciting among church staffers, volunteers and the congregation. But so many that I have talked to lately have expressed concern and hesitancy towards the idea. So I started probing. As raw as this is at the moment I’m starting to see something among many churches which I’ll call The Growth Paradox.
Growth means more work for someone. Someone on some level is working more to make the “dream” happen. If the leadership spreading the vision is disconnected from the staff and the issues the staff faces, then I guarantee the excitement for growth will not be shared wholeheartedly. How can it be when in actuality they will have to do more work.
Commute Nuggets
Most of you know that currently I have a 45 minute commute to work everyday. This time isn’t all that bad as some of the stuff you see on the road is funny. Some real Commute Nuggets! I’ve seen over turned busses, road ragers, seaguls murdered by the windshield of speeding vehicles, nose pickers and other oddities that now I just find humorous.
Today I was on the bridge when I came along a Semi which had some graffiti on the side of it. This might be the most amazing Graffiti I have seen in a long time. Thank you “Thryl” for that fine diplay of urban art.
