Are you too comfortable?
I’ve just finish The E-Myth Revisited. I’ll post more notes later, but this passage on our “comfort zones” really hit me. Here’s what Michael Gerber had to say:
“The curtain is your Comfort Zone. And your Comfort Zone has been the false mask you put on…because it was safe when your spirit was not. Your Comfort Zone has been the curtain you have placed in front of your face through which you view the world. Your Comfort Zone has been the tight little cozy planet on which you have lived, knowing all the places to hide because it’s so small. Your Comfort Zone has seized you before and it can seize you again, when you’re least prepared for it, because it knows what it means to you. Because it knows how much you want to be comfortable. Because it knows what price you are willing to pay for the comfort of being in control. The ultimate price, your life… Comfort overtakes us all when we’re least prepared for it. Comfort makes cowards of us all.”
Ouch. Conviction. I admit it–I’ve visited that cozy little planet.
I know this is totally unrelated, but have you stopped updating the churches on my radar feed? I noticed only a handful of churches are showing up, but the list on your page is HUGE!
George, I’m “comfortable” responding to that. I actually dropped and added several churches from the list recently. For example, check out GracePoint in Wichita, KS and Stonecreek Church in Alpharetta, GA.

Hey Tony,
The list is updated on the bottom left of your blog, but the feed http://del.icio.us/rss/tpmorgan/churches is not updating. I wasn’t sure if you were maintaining that or not anymore.
George
George, must be a del.icio.us problem or a problem with your feed reader, because that’s the correct link.
tony
Yeah, looks like a problem with del.icio.us and their RSS feed. It doesn’t list all the churches for some reason.
