many have already left,

many more will be leaving,

and the financial impact is gonna be remarkable.

For those who think it's going to be a big deal, I think they'll be disappointed (or relieved) that it wasn't a big deal. For those thinking it won't be a big deal, I think they'll be surprised at how big it really was.

Right now it just seems like everybody's a kid waiting for Xmas. The anticipation is worse than the real affair. And once it gets here, it won't be what you expected. So just be prepared to be disappointed. Whatever your expectations are, just be prepared to be disappointed.

I find that when I anticipate disappointment that I'm seldom wrong and thus almost never disappointed.

What did your friends tell you?

The Missionary who is home and not on the field is not as scared as the one overseas trying to balance a budget....

Can you be a little LESS specific to how you think you may someday feel after it is over and you are considering how you felt thinking about it being over?

Nope.

As of the 16th, I will no longer be employed at Dunn RD.

Someone else will need to hit a home run!

Of course, just thinking a little...one does not have to hold an office to be a leader.

"Some men lead by virtue of their office, others lead by example."

Don't remember who said that to me, but somebody did when I was young in the ministry.
