The Powers That Be

What is it with people's view of other people? (Present writer excluded)
Let's start at the bottom. What makes the lowest person on the employment totem pole think that the people above them don't know what they're doing? And the people fortunate enough to be over them to look down at them?
Now, I don't know where the bottom is but we can start with the minimum-waged-limited-responsibility ones first. They complain of their little pay, horrible hours, and possible bad smell of their environment. All the while insulting the boss because "if I don't do it, he/she sure won't"

What about middle management? (I've been here, sort of) They/we are probably the worst. They are the first to have "people" under them, and yet, there are dozens above them that they report to. They get yelled at because productivity is not on par. Then they depend on their staff to get the job done ("that's what she said') - sorry!

But staff has no motivation because they have a bad situation at home, and always catch it from the peon-little-supervisor who knows nothing anyway.

What about middle management's relationship with upper management? Constantly asking for status. Constantly preaching that money is low, or productivity is not good enough. A motivational tool no doubt, but leaves a raw taste in the m/mgmt's mouth because - that's right, upper management does not know what they are doing anyway. Right? What about the Corporate world? Sitting up in their offices all day. Cancelling meetings, e-mailing, asking people to e-mail, re-e-mail, then going to the meetings. Demanding reports 5 minutes ago that Upper mgmt depends on m/mgmt to gather for them while watching over the bottom of the barrell. What about the "top-dog/s?"
Is it possible that they don't even know the names' of employees who have trodded along on the treadmill for their well-being for many years? Do the "little people" even get how hard they've worked to get where they are?

Let's take it out of the professional world to the spiritual. Do kids view their parents, as parents view, peers/celebrities, sports athletes/coaches, who view, politicians/world leaders with that kind of format? Do we all look up to God and assume that He "does not know what He's doing?"

You answer this question every day. With every move.

Maybe. There are a few house-keeping, insurance verifying, "billing specialists," secretaries, managers, coaches, CEO's Senators, Kings work their little tails off. Respecting each individual that they encounter because they depend on them and realize the need for them. Working together with them.

Point~ That we would acknowledge that God is indeed the CEO of life. He is also the housekeeper. Because we don't always do it.

He should be the center of our decisions. "Should we have more kids?" "Should I take this job?" "Should I start a blog and abandon the SFNewsletters removing ability for me to 'force' my thoughts onto people, risking that I am only down to 2 or 3 readers because the multitude of fans I once had are (sniff) over me! FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE COMMENT!! - .....What was I talking about?...Oh yeah.
Wake up, consult God on what you should do with your day.
Should I be mean to my spouse? Should I talk to my kids? Should I go to church? Should I allow my family to ride the DART Rail Train Thing to the MAV game despite the certain threat of violence due to the very mean looking passengers? Should I be the better person at work and let them "win" for now. Should I pray for the powers that be because I don't know their situation. Should I talk about personal issues at work (because it may get back to the wife?) (ha) - And, NO to that one!

No. Nobody else knows what they are doing. You are the only one that can do anything. And will do it better that anyone....if you think that way - you need a good kick in the kisser! Of course you don't know them. Pray for them, be the better person, and limit your use of the DART Rail.

God bless us everyone! (We need it)
