Emphasis Preaching Journal

Sylvia was asked to serve on a committee at her church. While she had reservations, having never served on a committee before, she agreed to give it a try. At the first meeting she said nothing, listening carefully to the others.

As the year progressed, Sylvia was not sure she should continue on the committee. The meetings left her frustrated, "nothing is ever decided" she said after one meeting, and what someone wants to do they cannot. She could not pinpoint the source of her aggravation.
