It may be a good or bad thing, but I feel like the “show must go on” attitude comes from a sense of pride. We are afraid to fess up to mistakes, even if it’s not our fault. We’d rather fake it. We teach our children from the beginning to “never let’em see you sweat.” It does help us grow up sometimes though. Yeah to Madison for continuing on. Way to “grow” girl.

I too got misty-eyed listening to the passing of the technology baton to my niece. Well done, anyway!

Well if Long Beach is “laid back” I supposed we in West Cocoa are comatose.” I think glitches and the acceptance therein make any organization and especially a church, more like family. That is unless your family is “glitch-less.”

That Madison is growing up to be quite a lady.

I don’t know where the mentality comes from. There have been times in the past I have done the same thing.

Now I don’t hesitate to stop and restart no matter how I might look because I’d rather the final product be good than just getting by.

I’m sure Madison had a great time with her first tech program. It only gets better.

You know the Long Beach folks … we’re about as laid back as it comes, even when we shoot for excellence. I think there’s a healthy aspect of admitting to goofing up. That said, “Way to go, Madison!!!” There’s a lot to be said about her pressing on without become all flustered, too.

I think that mentality comes from thinking that we are performing all the time. Certainly, that idea exists during worship. One of the comments I hear at College is that people appreciate the fact that things aren’t always highly “polished.” They feel an authenticity because of it. I feel like they don’t have much of a choice since most of us involved in worship there are as unpolished as they come.
