Too Many Opinions

One of the things that I found frustrating at our staff retreat was that everybody was giving their opinion about everything. Then someone would say that we need to come to a decision, and everybody would continue giving their input.
I think input is great, but at some point the senior executive staff must make the decisions. I love being able to give my input, and we are certainly welcome to go with it at anytime, but I'm not the one that is able to say here is what we are going to do.
It just seemed like a waste of time for all of us to continually debate every issue that our church is facing. JM

St. Patrick's Day

Tomorrow is our work St. Patrick's Day party. I still have a lot of stuff to do for it. I'm kind of the person that is in charge of planning the stuff like this. We just do stupid games, eat some food, laugh, and have fun. But I think the time is extremely important. It helps our staff hang out and enjoy each other with no agenda. I especially love that it helps the ministerial and support staff interact in a positive manner with no "I'm the boss can you do this?" side to it. Stupid I know, but I really think it's good. JM
