There's No Place Like Home!

"There's no place like home."
"There's no place like home."
"There's no place like home."
Whatever you think of the movie, that message is true. After having been out of this office for three weeks (with the exception of one day), it really is good to be back "home." And good to especially see the incredible Banner of Truth crew that makes everything happen here on a daily basis. Many thanks to Jake & Austin in the packing room and warehouse, Beth & Becky & Debbie & Henri in the downstairs office, and Rob who keeps all of our numbers straight. I am often asked, "How many people work there at Banner?" My response? "Well, keeping in mind that this North American office handles approximately 70-75% of all that Banner sells in the world ..." I know, I'm setting the stage, but it's ok. "... we have a whopping six full-time and two part-time people - total - here in Carlisle, PA!" A little surprising, isn't it? You all do keep us pretty busy at times, but it's good! All we need to hear is one of the many stories I heard from some of you last week in Memphis or a few weeks before at the Banner Ministers' Conference ... stories of God using even one of the books that got packed in this warehouse to take a heart bent on sin and place it seeking after righteousness. We all can keep going for a long time on something as good as that! Blessings to all. Coming up: The next "Sneak Peek" of what's coming in July - NEW BOOKS from Banner of Truth!
