That changes when we allow the gospel to be diluted/twisted/distorted or in any way changed.<br /><br />The self-help section of the bookstore.<br />What happens if you need help finding this section?<br /><br />Companies who say “employees are our most important asset.”<br />I always suspected that "Money" was their most important asset. That was confirmed when they "eliminated my position." <br /><br />- To offset the "rant" factor, you're going to have to come up with a list of "Full" things. Looking forward to that one.Alan W.
