priorities

so, today is my first day back in about two weeks -- yes, i was in my office last week for a few days - but was very distracted with life and campus min. stuff.

but i must say - even though i feel like a slacker here at the mission -- i believe i placed the right priority on things in my life.

i'll posting this cuz today was our reschedule quartely all employee meeting. notice i say rescheduled cuz it was to take place two weeks ago - but my director put another priority in it's place so our meeting was rescheduled.

with that said - my director became upset when the chapel was scarsely packed at 1pm -- for one these meetings are not mantatory and second, it was rescheduled -- a one dept. head had already cleared her vacation weeks back for this week.

but i've been thinking - why be mad? -- i understand you want people to take this seriously - but in one case, one dept. head was ministrying to a client rather than saying "i don't have time for, got to run to t a meeting"

aren't we here to see God change and transform lives? - then wasn't the priorities of certain staff right where they needed to be: meeting and praying with a confused women, helping one of our graduating recovery program clients move into their own place - isn't ministry about people?

okay - just a rant for now
