Doing vs managing

Ramesha and I sang a duet and played a flute/guitar instrumental this morning for Sunday service. It feels a little strange to reflect on what a small percentage of our time goes toward actually doing music.

Instead we train others in making music; plan and organize music-related events; create content featuring music; promote music; write (lots of!) emails about music; figure out a budget for music; try to keep up with websites and social media for the music; attend lots of meeting about music; etc etc.

The hilarious thing, of course, is that we are so not managerial type people…and yet, together with Jeannie, we’re managing a department! Thank goodness God and gurus are in charge or else I’d really be worried! 😂
