What Happened?

It's 5:30 and I spent most of the day with the rest of the staff with a plan on hammering out the rest of the year's schedule and more specifics about what we'd cover on Sundays, in our Outlets and with students and children. It didn't go like I was thinking when I woke up this morning and planned it back when. Well, not everybody was there on time (try 30-60 minutes after we "started") and focus only lasted until lunchtime. After that, with food in the bellies and months of planning left, everything (or should I say everybody) threw in the towel.

I'm not the most organized guy, and I'm pretty good when it comes to procrastination, so when I'm leaving here less prepared for the future than I'd like (but still almost two months out), I'm disappointed. It's a lot of work to get ahead, and hard to get in a groove. What's worse is I just finished reading The Big Idea and it paints a picture of how it could be (and it's close to how I'd like it to be) and we're not there yet. I'm just praying what we do is good quality and makes a difference in the lives of the people we connect with.
