DAY 143 -- PPI In Reverse

It is time I put into practice a concept that I love.  It is the "return and report" principle.  We all know the value of the opportunity of returning to our supervisor or our mentor, or those with stewardship over us, and reporting.  We get that opportunity at tithing settlement time.  We get that opportunity if we are lucky enough to have a Personal Priesthood Interview.  We get that when we meet with our bishop often times.  We get that when we meet with our spouse in a quiet, private time.  It is a privilege to have the opportunity to report our stewardship.  Often we should do so with our Father in Heaven and report about all our duties, the hats we wear, and anything else we feel He would want to know about.

I have always been one to do things either backward, or in a different light.  So I believe it is time to report my stewardship to my boss at work.  But do it differently.  I believe it is time for me to evaluate him as my boss.  Would that be classified as a PPI?  Or would that be an IPP?  Either way, I believe it is time he found out my feelings and what I think about the way things are going.

Now let me warn you there is a caution here.  It may get me into trouble.  I mean if I lay it all out in front of him, let him know my thoughts, my inner thoughts about working for, and with him, he may take offense.  I may end up in trouble.  But on the other hand, I may not.

When thoughts weigh heavily on one's mind, and even tend to influence work, feelings, sleeping patterns, and other things, perhaps it is time to return and report backwards.  Remember, there are concerns here.  Some might totally become enraged to know of someone else "judging " them and their ways. 

But that is what I feel I must do.  Nothing may become of it, but who knows.  Since I received inspiration today, I must dwell upon it, ponder it and then if it feels right, I shall PPI in reverse my boss.

It feels like walking out on a thin piece of ice, wondering if the ice will break with me on it, taking me to the bottom of the sea with no life preserver.  Yes there is risk, but if Father confirms this action, then where I step on the ice will be strengthened. And no matter the results, if it is His will, then I must do it and sink or swim with the results.
