Nothing demonstrates leadership the way firm, sure decisions do. Right? And the next sure sign of leadership is to mock those in similar positions who make the opposite decision from your own!
Get a load of this guy. So, you pastor a church in Atlanta, Georgia. There's winter weather in the area, and some churches, as of Saturday morning, had already cancelled Sunday services.
Not MY church, he exclaims in his blog. "Unless a blizzard comes, we are having church just like normal. If a blizzard comes, we are still having church."
That was at 10:59 am Saturday. Fast forward
four hours and twenty-one minutes:
Due to the weather we will NOT be having church services on Sunday, January 20th. The weather channels are all predicting temperatures dropping well below freezing tonight which could lead to the possibilities of black ice on the roads. As much as we would love to have church and worship together, we are not willing to risk the safety of those who call Revolution home.
Some say that a good leader is one who makes a great second decision, so cut Gary Lamb some slack. Besides, he cites several justifications for the change of direction. The first one should tell everyone that THIS is the MAN you want to follow into the battle! Why is canceling services the right move? Yes, this is a direct quote: "
Barry Manilow canceled his concert in Atlanta tonight."
Then there's
the third post (9:38 pm) on this topic, in which Gary continues to question himself publicly for deciding to call off church.
Thank you Gary Lamb for brightening my Saturday evening!
