Jesus saves … his work
When I first began the company’s network, there were unexpected problems.

For a religious man, he taught me some new curse words that day. “What should I do with you?”, he yelled. “Forgive me?”, I answered with a bambi-eyed look. Not a good enough answer for him. Then he started, “What would Jesus do?
