I'm sure I've made it abundantly clear by now that I have been working too much and having to keep a few people in line. My issue is that some people can't figure out priorities. At least one of the main players can't seem to figure out what to do on his own and interrupts people with issues that are significantly lower on the priority list. He's never happy when I overrule him.
I've been preaching this "priority" lesson for over five weeks now and I can't seem to get the message through to the slacker.
1) Keeping the company in business.
2) Be able to sell the products.
3) Being able to deliver and transfer the products.
Seems simple, right? Who couldn't understand the priority list?
Today, there was another priority lesson, this one much clearer than the one I had been yelling. It was not taught by yelling, it was not taught by me and it was not taught to the slacker.
It was delivered to me.
The hours are cutting back a little but I had to get up for an early morning conference call again. This one was faster than normal and we were done by 8, quicker than I expected.
So after the call, we hurried off to a place we hadn't been in waaay too long. Below is my "ripoff" of the priority lesson that slapped me hard today.
Did you worship here?
What about here?
And here?
And even here?
Your answer? ......................................
Yeah, me neither.
Time to get back to REAL priorities.

The answer to your question is yes.
"Wherever two or more of you are gathered in my name."
Glad to hear it GB. I've just been so bogged down in the mire lately I've seriously forgotten what true priorities are.
I just had to smile when the message yesterday started out this way. It was like someone knocking at the door and saying, "Hey, I'm still here, remember Me?" Oooops, sorry about that, didn't mean to make You stand out in the cold for so long. Please forgive me, come right in.
