Sorry I have not been posting but I had to be gone the last few weekends. Had an awesome time speaking at the Salvation Army Women's Conference. Thank you for inviting me.
I've missed hearing from you and sharing...but my brain hurts and I think this serious list is inspirational enough...
So, in the spirit of Ephesians 4 We are called to be:
One body, one spirit, one hope.....for the sake of unity in the body of Christ I thought I'd post this serious look at denominational differences. I mean to offend no one...but I'm sure someone will not have taken there funny pill. So send all emails to complain to: lightenup@getagrip.com
and giggle a little...Have a great Holy week!
Just Thinkin',

109. Seven on the Light Bulb Task Force Subcommittee, who report to the 12 on the Light Bulb Task Force, appointed by the 15 on the Trustee Board. Their recommendation is reviewed by the Finance Committee Executive of 5, who place it on the agenda of the 18 member Finance Committee. If they approve, they bring a motion to the 27 member church Board, who appoint another 12 member review committee. If they recommend that the Church Board proceed, a resolution is brought to the Congregational Business Meeting. They appoint another 8 member review committee. If their report to the next Congregational Business Meeting supports the changing of a light bulb, and the Congregation votes in favor, the responsibility to carry out the light bulb change is passed on to the Trustee Board, who in turn appoint a 7 member committee to find the best price in new light bulbs. Their recommendation of which Hardware Store has the best buy must then be reviewed by the 23 member Ethics Committee to make certain that this hardware store has no connection to Disneyland. They report back to the Trustee Board who, then commissions the Trustee in charge of the Janitor to ask him to make the change. By then the janitor discovers that one more light bulb has burned out.
