I'm not sure when I read it, but I put those three words on a sticky note on my computer, and have been mulling them over since then. For example: the bathroom trashcan. It's not something that must be done with excellence. It's okay to go for the economy and use plastic grocery bags. It's okay to go for efficiency and have a few folded bags in the bottom so they're handy when it needs emptied. But my spiritual life? My kids' schoolwork? Our ministry? We must strive for excellence. I've shared your thoughts with several friends. Last night I was told, "That's been a help to me. Thank you for sharing it." THANK YOU, Phil, for sharing this. You've helped several of us to think, and to set some priorities. And I know I'll enter our homeschooling year with a new desire for Excellence! Love you, Vonnie Dear Big Brother,
