Proceed with Caution

You have been warned....

Why are people irresponsible and not dependable?? It's one of the most nerve-racking things to deal with people who are so wishy washy. They can't give you a straight answer, you have to pet them and beg them and remind them of every little thing. GROW UP! Get some accountability about you!

I'm about to get down right personal here. Tonight as soon as church service was over I briefly announced in a microphone to the whole entire congregation that all the youth needed to meet with a certain person and let them know if they planned on going to Tupelo for something called "Wintervention." I made the statement that whether you planned on going or not, you needed to meet with her immediately. So the responsible person that I am, I walked over to the lady and told her I was going. She asked me if I would mind rounding up everyone else. I looked at her and I said, "Yes, I would mind. I made the announcement on a mic and everyone heard me. If they didn't hear me they need to head to the deaf classroom. I am not going to baby these people and beg them to come meet with you. If they don't come talk to you, they don't go."

I'm so sick of these people! They sit around and patty cake and think that everyone is going to cater to them and their needs. Well not this sister. I have better things to do. If you don't get on board, you're getting left behind. I'm tired of busting my tail for people that don't care and don't want to participate in what you have to offer. It's fruitless and tiring!

As I said in my previous post, I'm having a hard time right now, but not a soul has babied me, pampered me, or treated me any different. Why is that.....Because everyone has issues and the world isn't going to stop just because my life isn't so great. Be a big boy or girl and grow stinkin' up!!!!

It sounds like these people want you to lead they just don't want you to be "the Leader". Your time is coming. I have a song for you. Dying To Live by Jonny Lang. You can find a preview of the song on www.jonnylang.com. Read the lyrics maybe you can get something out of it.Also, Red Light, Happiness and Misery, and Get What You Give are also good on the Long Time Coming Album.

You are a lot like "Dick Cheney". You really run things but the person in charge doesn't want others to know.

I feel your pain and angst at these sorts of people, being a youthleader! You announce, you put it in the bulletin, you make phone calls......and they still don't hear, read or listen! It is maddening at times! Excellent rant there, sister! *smile* (I'm just not sure any of this sort of thing will change any time soon.)
