You, and Cheryl, know what you need to do.

Three consecutive misses
Tag: Church
It feels like it’s time
It feels like it’s time to go back to Holy Family Catholic Church.
It has been two years since our last visit, due to Covid.
Meanwhile, i’ve been attending the Lakeside (Baptist) Church next door to our subdivision. Cheryl has been faithfully managing her spirit too. We are more than ready to return.

Wildly successful Church
Wildly successful Church.
How cool is it when it happens?
Could i play an invisible, yet catalytic role in helping humanity .think .differently about everything?
Bold, heretical belief that i provide an option that doesn’t exist without me.
Meek, uninspired people never move humanity to a better place.
Only the crazy ones.
The outliers.
The misfits.
The ones crazy enough to think they can do something everyone considers impossible.
i get it.
It ain’t for everyone.
Why did God (the Universe, karma, the light, etc) provide such a unique life path to someone who had to bicycle 36 roundtrip miles a day to work at Disney? The same guy, newly married, living in a roach-infested dingy apartment complex, who didn’t own a single piece of furniture, let alone an old car.
To be able to walk or bicycle next door to this Church – to Dream, Create, and Inspire – this is a potential blessing.

Back porch Heaven
Getting Russ on our back porch has to create a critical contextual moment. Have him sit on our Family Room couch with the TV on, and then ask him to feel the bass, hear the DJ’s voice and the DJ’s music. Doors and windows closed. Two streets over.
How will he process that “mentally-simulated” event?
How would any reasonable adult?

What happened at Church?
What happened at Church?
Didn’t bring up yesterday’s wedding reception’s obscene noise volume.
Chuck rushes – literally rushes out to parking lot – to drive to deliver his third sermon of the day. He does this every Sunday. Without fail.
Didn’t speak with Russ either.
Will likely send email asking the question: What have you instructed your events team to do with regard to noise levels?
Will email Russ a request to meet in person. It will be appropriate after meeting with Russ to update Chuck on the February 19 wedding reception and subsequent talk with Russ.

Special addition to this post: Weeks have passed since writing everything you just read. Now, weeks later, here is where it stands…
Note/update: As the weeks passed by from writing this post, decided to not address the outdoor wedding reception’s heinous noise pollution. Fast forward, met with Russ, made the offer to provide (free) professional development to him and his leadership team. He is receptive and interested. Turns out he is a Disney fan. And a runner. As we walked out of his conference room, he asked about the noise. i described it honestly. And told him i surrender to him and his team doing the right thing. i can no longer be emotionally engaged in worrying if the Church will do what i think is the neighborly thing to do.
