Accountability

Accountability - a big word. But, as big as it is, it is much easier to say than it is to do. One of the strong points of our family (church/corps) is the accountability that goes on - sometimes to the extreme. We have agreed that we allow ourselves to be held accountable if we are doing something that is questionable as far as representing Christ - and we allow ourselves to be confronted on it.

When I find myself dealing with someone that I should be letting someone else work with, the ladies will confront me on it. When one of the men is caught looking at some eye-candy that strolls by, believe me - three other men will tackle him and hold him down (men are much mean than women!).

Unfortunately, it also allows for dissension and confrontation when it is not necessary.

A big word.
