Randy sent us a great blog post by Matthew May - author about business:
I'm constantly asked about the challenge of complacency -- you know, things are going well, but there's a comfort setting in, and people are riding a different wave than when things were a struggle...The cry is for more money, people, and space to innovate. But wait a minute! That’s probably not how the company started. Somewhere in the company tree is a story of humble beginnings...So, reset the bar. Get back to the future. Get the band back together. Get back to basics. Get back to blocking and tackling. Return to your roots.
I don't want to lose the urgency of when we first start. There are people all around who need Jesus. I feel like I've lost some of the edge as we grow and there are more details to deal with and issues to handle. I personally want to be innovative on how to bring God's love, hope and message in order to reach those not being reached. I want to bring back the urgency form our humble beginning as The Journey. Don't Get Comfortable (it's also a great song by Brandon Heath).
