Inputs and Outputs
By Bruce Keisling September 26, 2007
Greg’s talk of inputs and outputs was starting to sound like some bad business text, but he saved it in the end. One quick comment about his discussion in the context of 3ABC is that it can be admittedly hard to turn the *output* switch on when you first come to a church. We have a fair amount of turnover in membership and new folks may find it difficult to walk in and start giving right off the block. Let me encourage you to do so anyway. You may be new, and it may not seem like there are any needy people here. Don’t be fooled. Start giving of yourself.
And with regard to Keith’s need for a sidekick, you need to write a personal ad. For example,
Athletic, intelligent MWM ISO, suitable companion for fun, laughs, etc. — be Tom to my Jerry, W. E. Coyote to my Roadrunner, etc.
OR you could just create a fictitious sidekick like they do on the Ref 21 blog. I’m thinking you might like a friend named Mr. I. M. Needy, Herr E. Tick, etc. It could be so much fun.
