Manager’s Memo 3-5-21

I’m the head janitor here at the Journey. I’ve been a head janitor for much of my professional life at one organization or another. Being head janitor means you get to think about tomorrow and the next day and the next month and the next year, instead of just being focused on the details of what happens today. I wrestle with that thinking about tomorrow escalating to worrying about tomorrow, and the next day and the next week and the next month and next year. You get the idea.

It occurred to me recently though, this thinking about the future has at its root hope. I have an underlying hope that I have a future, that this radio ministry has a future, that you have a future. And I’m certain that hope for the future comes from an indwelling Holy Spirit and my unwavering belief I serve a God who cares and has promised, in the midst of trouble, that I have a hope for tomorrow.

Our Sharathon is scheduled for the first week in April, just weeks from now. Like the last couple of events, and we hope our last, we won’t have volunteers in the building and our friends won’t be joining us in-person to help on-air with the event. But we know God is not surprised or anxious about the next few weeks. And we know we are much stronger together. Between now and then, will you join us in prayer? As we get ready, there are always things that get in the way and try to delay or derail us.

For 88.3 The Journey, I’m General Manager Mike Agee, trying not to worry and trying to live like I believe Philippians chapter four is true.
