The Problem When Something Goes Well

I have to admit to a certain amount of disappointment tonight.  We hosted the MGSH Baccalaureate service, and it went really well.

No, that's not disappointing.

What's disappointing is that this means we'll be doing it again next year.

Friday, Saturday and today, I was ready to chuck it.  It wasn't worth the hassle, people had dropped out of some tasks they were doing, and I was convinced we needed to complete this year, declare success, and then NOT do it again.  (Sometimes the best decision you can make is to discontinue something...even when it isn't terrible.)

So I was ready to pull the plug.

Then the unexpected happened:  It went really well.

The talks were great.
The music was great.
The fellowship was great.

The other congregations with whom we partner on it are all in.

I guess it's happening again!  Who'da thunk it.
