In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're not going to make a profit. So many organizations, ministries and churches are struggling with financial issues. I know your pain.

And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. - Edward Everett Hale
I am resolute more than ever about the fact that at the very core of my values is commitment. Faithfulness and commitment - nothing is more important to me.
