On Friday I went on a course. It was a free course offered to companies and was about Visual Management in the Worplace. It was all about displaying your goals, performance against targets, putting up graphs and things so that employees are aware of what's going on. We played a silly game where we were given lego, and we had to deliver a cube every minute for 5 minutes. At the end we were all given scores, but no-one knew how they got what they got! The point being that unless you know the rules, it's pretty hard to aim to win!
'Common Sense' I hear you say. But is it? The course made me think about faith. Sometimes (well, a lot of the time in my case) it's really hard to know the answers. What we're supposed to do, say in a situation. What's the best direction for take, what is acceptable or even good. We have lots of guidance in the Bible, but knowing what God wants can be hard to discern.
It's really hard to tell other people that what you believe is something that you can't see, touch, or you have concrete figures showing how it works. It's not scientific, and it doesn't always add up. But I guess that's the whole point, isn't it? Having faith.....
Maybe that's why it's so hard to get other people interested. Having said that, what we do is just (try to) set an example. The Holy Spirit does the rest.
