The Executioner

GETTING THINGS DONE!Many of us in Sunday schools across the nation have original thoughts, but because we don’t execute no one knows about them. The failure to execute stifles the production of Apostolic materials. Apostolics should be leading the charge in Sunday school content. We often feel that we’re not good enough or we think we’re being-quote-humble and we don’t take the initiative. Today’s podcast is for me as much as it is anyone. While we hope to offer some insights and motivation, we don’t claim to have it all together, we’re struggling like everyone else. Hopefully we-and someone else- can find some inspiration to get that project started – and finished. Here are some of the things we try to cover:Setting S.M.A.R.T. goals.Perfection is overrated.Gaining momentum.Embrace the critics.“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” _Theodore Roosevelt
