I was making breakfast this morning in my kitchen…well it’s not really myyyy kitchen because I’m living in a guest house…but still I was cooking breakfast and realized that my kitchen is not set up to win. There are things about this kitchen that do not work well together for my desired result. It looks beautiful and it’s a great kitchen, but it does not meet the bar for function.
In order to use the microwave I have to pick it up, move it, and plug it in. Theres a lot of work involved in something that could be changed to produce better results. If I move some things around I can make the kitchen still look beautiful and I can make it function better.
I think sometimes our ministries and the things we look after can be like that. To the eye they look amazing and appear to work great, but really it’s what i like to call a front… just like a white boy from Montana who dresses in baggy clothes and talks like he’s from Detroit…it doesn’t mean he’s a gangster… it means he puts on a front… We should be 2-fold, what we do should look awesome, but not lack in its function - they go hand in hand like 2 star crossed lovers on a first date

This is the eternal discussion between the Engineer and the Arquitect… while the Engineer designs things to work well, the Arquitect designs things to look good…
That is the reason why you need an Engineer and an Architect to design a building or house… or you will end up with either an ugly functional house or a nice house with rooms with round corners, where you can’t place any furniture… lol
