It may come as a suprise that most of my work week has not been very ministry focused. In fact, I think 90% of my time this week has been spent painting the foyer. While that may sound weird, and I know plenty of friends in ministry who would never jump on board with such a project, here are some reasons I’ve thought of while staring at the ceiling.
- I think environment is important. We’re putting a lot of emphasis on our fall launch this September 10th… I’ll do just about anything to welcome our people into a great environment… from the basement to the foyer to the sanctuary.
- I’m willing to lead when no one seems to care. This foyer project had really dragged to a halt. It’s been cool to see the office staff wear paint clothes and just try to finish it.
- A little physical labor is great! I love my job, but it’s often times hard to see the tangible results of my labor. But painting and doing finish work in the foyer is easy to measure. And I’ll be able to walk in there Sunday morning and feel good about knowing I played a part.
- I know that hard work is contagious. We’re not doing this to make anyone feel guilty, but we are ask SO MUCH of our people… I want to be a part of leading the way in working hard.
