book quotes part 2

If you liked those quotes from yesterday, here are some more.  If you did not like them, then I am sorry, but they are making me think, so here are some more.  my comments in [brackets]

"people want you to be a rock star...give them the back lot tour" [let them see the broken parts of you and the church, then if they love the church, they will own it for what it really is. their commitment will matter, they will take ownership]
"sometimes the right decision breaks all the rules that you have come to know" [we read too many books on leadership.  sometimes you have to make a call that is outside of the box.]
"do you remember when ministry was fun?" [it still is for me, but it is a great question]
"quit whining about passion" [sometimes you wont feel the passion, but you still have to go to work.  sometimes you won't sense the Holy Spirit, but you will still have to get up and do the right thing.]

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Jeff, while I read your quotes today and yesterday, I was reminded that the fact you are always open to new ideas, and learning new things to make your relationships better, is one sign of who you are, and who you will continue to become.

Many blessings.
