Some residents served by the Bulstrode Treatment Plant have been without water for nearly two months. Can the NWC urgently provide a clear update on the cause, restoration timeline, and interim relief?
This is unsustainable.

Letting someone create a false narrative of you is a small price to pay for having rid yourself of their toxicity. Let them say what they want, if you and God know the truth, your life will flourish and their lies will rot theirs.

[Simons @Simon_Ingari]

"Why does our top performer get the worst reviews?" the boss asked.

I was reviewing their annual performance data.

"Show me," I said.

She pulled up the ratings.
Diana: 2.8 out of 5.
Below average on "collaboration."
Low marks for "team player."

"What's her actual performance?" I asked.

"Exceeded every target.
Landed our biggest client.
Trained three new hires."

"So why the low scores?"

"Her peer reviews are dragging her down."

I scanned the comments.
"Too direct."
"Challenges ideas too much."
"Not supportive enough."

"Let me talk to Diana," I said.

"I used to give honest feedback," Diana told me.
"Said our pricing model was broken.
Got dinged for 'negativity.'"

"What happened with the pricing?"

"They finally fixed it six months later.
After we lost two major accounts."

"What else?"

"I questioned why we needed
eleven approvals for a simple contract change.
Manager said I wasn't being collaborative."

"Are you still giving feedback?"

"No. I learned my lesson.
Now I smile. Nod. Say everything's great.
My reviews are improving."

"But nothing's actually improving?"

"We're making the same mistakes.
Just with better vibes." She chuckled.

I went back to the boss.

"Your review system doesn't measure performance," I said.
"It measures compliance."

"That's not true."

"When was the last time someone
got promoted for challenging bad ideas?"

Silence.

"When did someone get rewarded for preventing a mistake?"

More silence.

"You've trained your best people to stay quiet.
And your mediocre people to stay nice."

A few months later, they redesigned the system.

Added a category: "Constructive Challenge."
Points for identifying problems early.
Rewards for preventing costly mistakes.

Diana got promoted.

"What changed?" I asked the boss.

"We stopped confusing agreement with alignment.
Stopped mistaking silence for harmony."

"And?"

"Turns out our 'difficult' people
were our most valuable.
They actually cared enough to speak up."

Here's the truth about performance reviews:

Most companies don't reward performance.
They reward performance theater.

The person who says the meeting was great
beats the person who says it wasted an hour.

The person who agrees with bad ideas
beats the person who prevents disasters.

You think you're measuring contribution.
You're measuring conformity.

And your best people?
They've already figured out the game.

They're just deciding whether to play it
or find somewhere that values truth over comfort.

Dear Lord,

Today, I declare by faith that big things are unfolding in my life this year. My God-ordered destiny is moving swiftly, right on time. Heaven’s windows are open, and Your Spirit is flowing over me, my family, and every area that matters. Favor will find me through people and places I did not expect. I receive it fully. Thank You. Now In Jesus’ name, Amen 🙏🏾

[Pastor West @Pastor__West]

Dear Lord,

Today, as i step into this new week, I pray for the wisdom to properly comprehend the responsibilities of my blessings. May I not simply desire good things while ignoring the effort needed to obtain them. Show me how to regularly nurture my blessings and cultivate them, for the task is never done. Prepare me for something even greater ahead. In Jesus' name. Amen🙏🏾

[Dr. Tracey Brown Coote @traceybcoote]

Amen

[Pastor West @Pastor__West]

Dear Lord,

Today, may this year be full of blessings and favor. "Out with the old, in with the new." What’s gone is gone. I speak death to everything that has held me back; today it is lifted, and I shall see my enemies no more. What has restricted me is dead, and every held-up blessing is released. I shall surpass 2025 in 2026. In Jesus' name, Amen🙏🏾

[Dr. Tracey Brown Coote @traceybcoote]

Amen

[Pastor West @Pastor__West]

Next year, I pray you have steady provision—enough to handle every bill on time, cover what you need, invest wisely, and treat yourself without guilt. I pray you can afford convenience and peace of mind. Lack is not our portion.

[Pastor West @Pastor__West]

Dear Lord,

Today, I pray for a new story to tell. Where healing, completeness, love, & growth are all part of it. I declare that lack shall cease, & I will be stronger, & more alive as a result. In Jesus name, may nothing stand in the way of my promises being fulfilled. Amen🙏🏾

[Pastor West @Pastor__West]

Dear Lord,

Today, I pray for an increase in discernment. I walk amongst the unknown, which makes my journey tricky. But my prayer is that You reveal all that is hidden to me and protect me from harm. The most dangerous thing is moving with people who are against me. Give me the ability to discern their intentions and guard my peace, in Jesus' name. 🙏🏾
