The administration workload here at GTD Headquarters during the month of January can get as wild as an episode of The Office. But hopefully we are a little more productive =). With the end-of-the-year and the start-of-a-new-year comes many requirements, deadlines, and urgent tasks. Even though Laurie & I run an outdoor adventure ministry, we actually spend a lot of time in the office on computers. Like every non-profit organization we have state & federal requirements on top of a stack of daily, weekly & monthly administrative tasks. It's not unusual for me to work 12-16 hours per day just on administrative tasks... but I love it... and I thank God for it!! Here are some things we are currently working on in The GTD Office:
- PRAYING!!! Bathing Everything In Prayer!!

- W3's
- Quarterly Reports
- Donor Receipts
- New Budget

So that's a little snapshot of what's going on in the GTD office right now. Don't forget to regularly lift us up in prayer... "Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain." (Psalm 127.1). "'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty." (Zech 4.6). "To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me." (Col 1.29). Thank you! God bless <><
