[Magdalen] This saying No is tough

[Lynn Ronkainen]

at some point, if an email  back and forth approaches the 6th+ back and 
forth, when I am dealing with clients especially I write: I think a phone 
conversation can help us figure this out more easily.  For me, a wide 
variety of clients (not usually priests, but family and other gift givers, 
or.... the 'dreaded committee') seem to be phone averse.

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
