Our name reflects the importance of the Small Businesses.

 

Faith Is What Makes Small Business Work. In fact, faith is what makes life work.  Planning may reduce some unknowns, but not all of them. For the owners of small business faith may best be understood with this question. How many of your best traits were learned through adversity?” I’m guessing most of them. It takes faith to stay in the battle.  Lewis Carroll, the English author and poet, once said, “One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.”   To his words we can also add this, "At the end of the day it’s almost always the small things that give us satisfaction".

 

 

Family Is The Stabilizing Force Of Society.  Families form our nations foundation. They provide encouragement and help when faced with change or disappointment. One of the greatest gifts my parents gave me was an imperfect home. My parents were godly and honest about their beliefs. But they were also honest about their inabilities to always live up to what they wanted their life to be.  However, who they were at home always matched who they were to the world. This gave me a secure foundation of trust, both with my family and with the world at large. “Every effort to make society sensitive to the importance of family is a great service to humanity” - Pope John Paul II
