P3 - Post July 11
It's funny...to me it feels like the event became such a huge focus of P3 for so long, that now our identity has been changed, maybe blurred. It was cool and I think it went pretty well, but i just get this feeling like we need to reestablish some relational things and maybe the overall P3 identity. anybody else getting this vibe?
Perhaps the issue is that the identity was never tremendously clear?
hard to say.

This seems relevant (when is it not?) but thought you all might find it interesting and challenging. I wonder, when seeing these kind of things, and my role (very little at this point) in ONE whether or not we are focused on the right things and if we need a serious realignment.

Forward
I posted this as a comment today, but wasn't sure if everyone would see it, so I'm putting it here also. Keep moving forward!
I also love the layers of meaning we have in our little comments back and forth to each other. It isn't really about safari or firefox, its about how each of us is choosing to live. There is an acceptance of each other on an overall level, but yet an atmosphere of pushing one another a little bit, or sometimes alot. It seems as if we don't quite trust each other enough to come right out and say it, but we are making some progress. We are getting somewhere boys. If we can all hang on a little bit longer, we are about to crack through to unchartered territory, where few friendships dare to go. We are almost to this magical place where trust and honesty live together in harmony and a willingness to push each other and be pushed allows greatness to occur, individual greatness and greatness as a whole.
In the end, we want an excellent July 11th that was done excellently and communicates excellence, because that is the way things should be done if we are going to do them. Excellence has the level that is seen on stage and in the plaza on that Friday night, and in taking care of the logistics beforehand, but it also has a level that is personal, that involves our friendships and our character, our moments of honesty with each other and ourselves as we engage in the process of pulling off the event. Neither of these levels should be ignored. Each level requires our best efforts. Some of us are stronger at one level and weaker at the other, and the goal should be to help one another become strong at both, within the context of our individual talents and strengths.
This I beleive, is Savoir Vivre.
