Stayin on track

So two posts in a row crazy i know. Yesterday at hub school after an hour lecture on accountability and loader dispatch forms, the boss comes in and tells all the memphis sups to go back to memphis and tells the barlett and oakhaven sups that we need to get ready to work. So i am psyched because i haven't worked in like 2 weeks so i am fired up and i want to try and blow up the automated machine that is oakhaven. I learned an essential truth during this 7 and a half hour workday. One of the first concepts in accountability is making sure that the person knows what he/she is supposed to do. This seems simple but an able body with a desire to work couldn't do anything because i had no direction or instruction. Too often we expect so much from our people and our church members but are we shouldering the responsibility of letting them know what is expected of them. If they don't know how can we keep them accountable? Are we doing more than our share to let people know what is expected of them and how they should behave and live according to the word? I think not. If you are upset at how people act tell them what they should do because for all you know they might have more desire than you do to impact the world they just don't know how to do it. More schooling and a commitment to blogging this year. But for now I'm out.
