What I learned from Tom
I had a miserable time working at HFBC. However, I love the man in the photo above. His name is Tom Mosley. Tom was worship pastor at the church. He was an inspiration as a leader and as a mentor. One thing he taught me, that gratitude is a discipline. He taught me to love and appreciate the volunteers I was in charge of. Volunteering is satisfying, but not always enjoyable. Churches look favorably on those who donate cash more than those who donate time. Time has been and always will be money, but you can't write it off, so the church has consistently overlooked the importance of volunteerism, then vounteers get burned out and then the church finds itself in its most comfortable poistion, up a creek. This week I will highlight 1 voluteer from the fom each day. I will lend my voice to appreciate those who devote obvious time to our little church.
