I’m generally a pretty upbeat guy, who tries to see the brighter side of things, even when there’s not really a brighter side. OK, call me Pollyanna. But today, for some reason, I’ve noticed a few things that have left me a little less than impressed. You — all both of you loyal readers — don’t mind if I unload a list of underwhelming things today, do you? Here we go…
Today, I’m particularly underwhelmed by…
- Twitter and Facebook when they don’t automatically update like they’re supposed to do. (In the interest of full disclosure, that feature is working again now.)
- Small group leaders who don’t show up without notice.
- Small group leaders who show up but aren’t prepared.
- The service this afternoon at lunch.
- Annoying car problems that will probably turn into major deals.
- My own leadership as of late.
- Modern Christmas music.
- People who can’t — or won’t — make up their minds.
- Church folks who just don’t “get it.”
- My own ability to define “it” so that they do “get it.”
- Politicians.
- Workout plans that don’t seem to work.
- Blamers.
- Haters.
- Bribers.
- Obnoxious know-it-alls.
There you go. Thanks for letting me vent. What’s underwhelming you today?
