Bond in East Van

Honestly, this Organizational Behavior course at BCIT that I’m almost finishing now has officially become one of my top 5 courses ever.  The instructor is just so awesome.  So are the classmates.  I also learned a whole lot about working with women (as my group study consisted of me and 4 other women, 3 of which are moms).

And so, as I was excitedly driving home from class, I turned on some Saosin tunes and almost killed myself driving so fast.

And after reading a blogpost about how apparently East Van is so much more interesting than all the posh places I usually visit, my movie/music buddy and I have decided to go to this place this weekend for the Bond movie!

Let’s hope it’s good!

Screwing up

How do you draw the line between our failures and “Maybe God has a different plan”?  So many times, we have a vision, a set of goals, but something goes wrong, things go off track, and most of the time what you get is “maybe God has a different plan”.

Or maybe we just totally missed the point and screwed up?

Ever since I was a young Christian I have already heard the saying that 20 percent of church folks do 80 percent of the work.  Something like that.  And you have to wonder why that is the case and what we can do about it.  Why should we accept this sad reality?

I think it is too convenient to simply say “oh the motivation has to come from the Spirit within the person” and leave it at that.  Don’t get me wrong, I agree with that, and yes, everything we do ought to be centred around the Gospel, gospel, gospel.  But we are also called to teach and disciple those around us.

I am learning quite a lot from my Organizational Behavior class and I wonder why they never teach those sorta stuff in churches (at least not mine).

There are so many factors when it comes to people working in organizations that I have totally neglected.
