laughter15 - The Monday Morning Memo

“Stuart flew to Tulsa, summoned everyone to the radio station, packed us all into the conference room and said, “People who work in Christian media often see and hear things that discourage them.” His face fell and he looked sad as he said, “And then they become bitter.”

I could tell he was struggling to find the right words as he looked down at the ground. After a long silence he looked up into my eyes and said, “Promise me that you’ll never become bitter.”

I looked into his eyes and nodded my head. One by one, he looked at every other employee until they nodded their head or said aloud, “I promise I’ll never become bitter.”

When he had extracted that solemn promise from each of us, he drove back to the airport and flew home.

It was a very short meeting that happened 40 years ago but I have never forgotten it.”

- Roy H. Williams in the Monday Morning Memo for Sept 19, 2022
