i read something this week published by a motivational speaker for businesses but it applies to churches as well...
you can't have an out-of-the-box experience when all you have are in-the-box metaphors.
the other one i like that we have all seen is...
a fool is a person that keeps doing the same thing while expecting different results.
people come on. step up to the plate and bat! get in the game, get off your butt and get after it. clay street if you aren't gonna do anything then give yourself a break and attend mass somewhere that is insect free. if not, then start kicking some ass and let's change this community. out of the 4 guys in leadership, only one understands (also the only one that will probably read this) and you have a tough job ahead of you, but i know you can do it. just write some things down, get a little more organized, get everyone on the same page, and get on with it. oh, and i would pray like you've never prayed before.
have a great week!
