No matter what business you're in, you can't run in place or someone will pass you by. It doesn't matter how many games you've won.
It's a business. If I could make more money down in the zinc mines I'd be mining zinc.
Our decision to close on Sunday was our way of honoring God and of directing our attention to things that mattered more than our business.
