COMMENTARY: Life was better when I could have it my way.
I am a little more than frustrated at how many corporations and business owners absolutely ignore many of the fundamentals of customer service in their businesses.
SPEAKING OF FAITH: We are to be trees of righteousness
Glory to God, He has called us to be Trees of Righteousness, meaning, “We’ve already been pruned and trained,” and that it all now begins to happen in the right way and timing.
