I am currently writting a course for our church for business people or people who are wanting to enter into business. For the lack of a better name at the moment, I am just referring to this as the "Christian Business School".

This is the overview of what I think we will look at. By all means let me know your ideas. I will post more as it develops.

Isn’t that interesting?

This woman, at this point in her life has enough faith to believe...

I am currently on hold waiting to talk to the second complaints department at my mortgage company. It seems this company is so large that each department has it's own complaints department - so me, the person they don't really want to talk to on the other end of the line has to get the right complaints department before I can air my greivances.

The people are pleasant enough on the phone but I find it odd that they call it a "complaints" department....
