I had an interesting string of thoughts today during some of the talks here at MinistryTech. It was a little seed that was planted during Tony Morgan’s presentation.
Tony’s presentation went over the “10 Reasons Why Techies Scare” him. His number 6 reason was that techies don’t document processes. His example involved the concept of ‘the techie before’ and how we aren’t going to be where we are forever, for whatever reason. And we all have stories of knowledge/processes/documentation that left with the techie before us. So what exactly are we leaving behind?
I think that in order to do the best for the ministries we support, the churches we work in, and the God we live for, we must strive to leave a legacy.

I have thought about this so many times in the past. If I think back I can easily name off the people that have influenced me, people that have undoubtedly left a legacy. Great Marines I have had the pleasure of working with, church leaders, even people when I was so young I can only remember their face and the words of wisdom they gave me. Do these people realize the impact they made? Do they look back and wonder if they ever really made a difference? Did I get through to anyone? Did all that hard work every really improve the workplace?
I agree with striving to leave a legacy, we must keep the best intentions at all times. We shouldn’t leave a egocentric legacy. I think that if we focus on the development of others and the improvement of our profession our legacy will be inevitable.
