My new favorite quote

Dee — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:43:50 +0000

I just saw a quote on one of my Yahoo Groups that I love! It said, I do many things well, none of which generate income. I’ve altered mine a bit, but the sentiment is the same… I do many things well… few of which generate income.

A friend shared this with me today, and even though I’ve seen it before, it brought a smile. Thought you could use one, too. A fifth grade teacher in a Christian school asked her class to look at TV commercials and see if they could use them in 20 ways to communicate ideas about God. [...]
