Good information thanks guys. I was thinking of character traits this past week when our leader said a new member is interested in joining our team and he wanted me to be involved in the interview process. In self-examination I looked at my core attributes. Having grown up on a cattle ranch and my father was commuting across the Golden Gate to his medical practice I was alone in charge of the ranch. He was gone a lot. It was about keeping the livestock in and fed and watered, keeping the stray dogs out. Not the best Metaphor for a church but you get the idea. In church security I have been most concerned about the "John Wayne" syndrome, another poor analogy but. Starting someone out as an usher first then in time an enhanced usher. See how they do. I hope this helps!

I think those are great analogies. We use the John Wayne syndrome in law enforcement all the time. Thank you for your service to the church.
