Majoring In The Minors

Often I catch myself doing little jobs that need done but neglect to make a plan that would help our operation and team have a direction on what needs accomplished for the week. Even when responsibility is shared someone needs to be the communicator.

We stopped for breakfast at a McDonald's where there were customers lined out the door and the manager was occupying his time cleaning the hoses on the Slurpee machine. While it was commendable for him to do menial work he wasn't accomplishing his major responsibility of feeding people in a timely manner.

We had fun with little jobs this week that were getting ready for bigger more important things. Kind of like wearing swimming suits and cowboy boots at the same time.

The PCHS volleyball team was over late last week. They had a retreat and did a service project helping on the cabin. Their first game is next week Monday evening. Wish you the best girls.

 Also the PCHS board and staff kicked off another year by getting together for supper and Ranger rides.

Jason and David are twins. They grew up in the Dallas area. They both played major league baseball out of college. They married, had families, moved to North Carolina, were successful in the real estate business, and had their own reality cable TV show called Flip It Forward where they fixed up homes for needy folks.

Their TV show was immediately cancelled when the cable network got pressure from the gay community because these men when asked about their view on marriage said they supported traditional marriage the way God designed and intended it to be. Below they are standing with two of their nine children visiting with Chuck.

Rick leaves today for Israel with Bob, Tony, Simon, and a few others. Their purpose is to meet with the leadership in that country and let them know that we as a country still care about and support them since our administration is failing to do that.

Many of you have heard me say, "don't worry about minor details". I meant the nit-picky stuff and learned to say that when my kids were young and helping and I didn't want to break their helpful spirit by micro managing them. Having said that I would and still do run the risk of looking like I don't notice or don't care when in fact I very much do.

 As you go about accepting and accomplishing the jobs you're given don't let the minor things about the job get your attitude down. On the other hand don't forget to acknowledge and appreciate those around that work with and help you.

Find a way to enjoy your work. I like this picture and will need to explain it to you because of my amateur photography skills with my broken cell phone. Kurt, Brad, and Alex are all resting triple decked on the parts shelves we are supposed to be cleaning.:) We are getting ready for our Customer Appreciation Supper this coming Wednesday evening. You are welcome to come. Have a good week.
