Something else you need to know

There is at least one more thing you need to know that I didn't say yesterday.  Last fall, when we could see adjustments possibly coming on the horizon, and then we sent the letter in October to the whole church, I was extremely honest with our staff.  After praying about it and talking with her husband, Jim, Lori Wheeler, our Administrative Assistant, decided to voluntarily reduce her salary to less than half what it was, effective January 1.  Like Susan, though, Lori would essentially continue to do what she had been doing.  Her sacrifice was incredible.  The decision we made this week took that into account, and the net effect is that we had 4 people who were reduced from full-time to part-time status.  

I didn't have to deliver any 'bad' news to Lori, but that doesn't mean that she didn't make a sacrifice.  I should have said that yesterday, and it is important that you know it.  

Until later today...
