You Can't Please Everyone...You Just Can't.

In the last two months my lay partner and I have worked on a redesigned ministry for this school year. We have the plan now. People are hearing about it. And, as usual, it has its critics.

It seems to be the way of things that the people who criticize most have the least to lose. Some of our students have complained (not to me, of course) that they don't like the new plan. The folks complaining aren't participating regularly in the ministry now, and haven't been for the last several months. It doesn't make much sense to me to leave things the same (which has been losing us Sr. High students) in order to please people who aren't coming anyway.

Principle I'm applying: Don't let the squeakiest wheel get the grease just because it's loud. Sometimes the wheel that needs the most attention makes no noise at all.
