The "rest of the story"

Americas friend Paul Harvey is famous for his saying "and now you know the rest of the story".
Today I had the privilege to speak with one of my respected friends at our Wesleyan World Headquarters. In the course of the conversation someone (an unnamed source, sorry) said "a whole lot of pastors, that is a whole lot of pastors" (red neck sounding to hide the identity) think that HQ is not trusting of the pastors in our churches. It is as if the poor "Doofus" (not an actual name) who pastors the local Wesleyan church is clueless about how to make his church, (pick one) a. survive. b. grow c. flourish e. or even look good "on paper". So ... the conclusion goes ... why listen to the pastors who labor in the whitened fields when we have information that lets us have the "big picture", and thus ... after all ... we do in fact ... know what is best for our churches. In some instances that may or may not be the case but let "Paul" continue. Then the reply comes back. Oh, by the way, HQ feels that the pastors think of HQ in some similar ways. The "Grand Doofus (or Doofi)" are not considered by the pastors to "be in touch with reality" (as it is experienced in the trenches). Therefore ... HQ will busy themselves answering questions that pastors are not asking, and creating programs that the pastors find ineffective in their local setting. So ... at half time the coach says ... "guys ... we are still in the game, but you better get it together". What the "coach" means is that the team had better do something quite different than what these previous lines have depicted. Paul would say: "now you know the rest of the story". Lord help us ... i certainly hope not! To whatever degree these two groups of people can begin to work as a team, will spell out clearly on the score board, as will any lack of teamwork. A scary thought, but the score board don't lie. Oh Paul ... Hey Paul .... You ain't heard ... "The Rest Of The Story". Oh lord help us ... I hope he hasn't. I really really .... really ... hope there is more to the story. (secretly i think there is, and i ain't tellin' Paul)
