I was shabby and tattered,
Worn and battered,
Odiferously offensive,
And visually repulsive,
Old and weathered,
Broken and unattended,
Dated and neglected,
An outcast and wasted,
Now 25 years later you are still my wife,
And thank you for reupholstered my life.

A Good Find(Letter To A Staff Pastor)
By Curtis Johnson
For a number of years, my wife was heavily engaged in garage sales. The most valuable items in our home were obtained through garage sales or antique shops. Some of these items needed to be repaired and reupholstered.
However, regardless of their condition at time of purchase, the pieces were considered “Good Finds”. I must confess that my wife and I seldom agreed on what was or was not a “Good Find”. From the eyes of this beholder, some of her ‘finds’ were down right “ridiculous finds”. However, over time I came to acknowledge that hers were indeed “Good Finds’.
Pastor Jeff, you and your family have been with our church for more than a decade, and I have been well pleased from the start. I have observed your ministerial growth both publicly and administratively. You and Angela have been instrumental in our church’s growth and success.
There are many other things that I could say about you and Angela;
but I have chosen to be brief. In the words of Collectors everywhere,
you two are indeed “Good Finds”.
