We can't use someone over $25,000 without going out for a bid. We like to always go out for a bid, but because of the timing involved we put both companies on the agenda to approve the work while they put together their pricing for the work.
We have work crews, but we do a lot of organizing. People there want to help and neighbors get together and accomplish a lot. We give them some direction, and try to get them the building supplies and safety equipment they need.
For us to do anything close to unanimous is great for us. People who don't often vote together voted tonight to move this system forward.
We wanted to be up to par. That's one of the things Scotty taught us over the years. We've got to play together to have success.
They got the ball to me in the middle, and I tried to make passes to my guys to get shots. We knocked down shots and got ourselves the lead. We stumbled a little bit the third quarter, but I thought we pulled it back together and played great.
I just tried to regroup. The only thing I could do was put pressure on him and the only way to do that was to just keep hitting good golf shots. I was able to put together a string right in a row there that really put me in good position to win.
Television will enormously enlarge the eye's range, and, like radio, will advertise the Elsewhere. Together with the tabs, the mags, and the movies, it will insist that we forget the primary and the near in favor of the secondary and the remote.
I think things for us are really coming together at this point. Our distance events are getting much stronger.
I thought they won a lot of individual battles in the first half. They set the tone and tempo. The second half we did a better job of stepping up in some of the individual battles.
I think we've become adept at it. It has become our signature play.
I think what we're finding across the church is that people are tired of just writing the check for the mission. They really want to do it. We made a commitment to the city to put up 50 roofs over the next couple of months. We hope to perhaps complete 25 this week with the crews that we have.
I think what it can do for you is center you on the values your team has and make sure you appreciate and honor those values - and consistently honor them,
I think that everyone is capable of being a leader when given a chance.
I think Brian learned a valuable lesson last week. He was frustrated and I told him, 'They're going to make us beat them by throwing the football, so you need to take that as a compliment.' That doesn't mean you surrender. You keep playing because it's going to be a game where you earn every one of your yards. Games like this are games of persistence, games of trusting yourself, and knowing it's not going to look pretty all the time, but you have to keep banging away.
