It's Scoop Time

Yep, it’s Scoop time again. A note or two seems in order. I can’t post EVERY job I hear of. Some churches want our help but don’t want the opening posted. I understand their reasoning even if I may not believe it to be wise. About 3 times a year I’ll post that someone left a work and then get a call from a church saying that they didn’t give me permission to post it. Most of the time, I didn’t post that they were looking, just that the person there was leaving, which was public record. Oh well. I apologize and take it down as soon as I can. With that, here we go…
