A Woman Of Great Courage!

Karen in the Lion's den.

I made an appointment with Karen to spend time in GOMEX this morning training me in how to set up a custom data base in TntConnect, our donor management software. If you know me...and most of you do...I AM NOT a data base/spreadsheet kind of guy. I'm a yellow-pad and gel pen kind of guy.

Karen IS a spread sheet person. Spread sheets are brilliant. Karen in brilliant. She LOVES data bases. I like the output of data bases, not working with them. After 15 years of ministry in close proximity, we've discovered several reasons that make it wise for me to operate from GOMEX and Karen to  operate from home. In some instances we work better together when we're not in the same office. Ministry is better, marriage is better...HA!

Anyway...we've survived the experience, Karen has set me up with a data base I can use and she's excited about it. She says, "Oh we're going to get such good information from this. We can mine this all day long. Shall I input all the data for you?".

My wife. I think I'll keep her.

Esther and I recently took the Eneagram personality test (free version) and it gave some interesting insights into our particular marriage personality combo. You might like to try that out for fun. We found it interesting.

She's a "far above rubies" wife indeed.
