I love it not only because it celebrates the unsung hero who truly makes the company successful, but because it is a fascinating case study in Christianity.

It’s an open secret that we are a nation of voyeurs! We love to poke our noses into other people’s business and this fact is borne out by the popularity of reality TV.

On behalf of all Christians everywhere, I’m deeply sorry.” Now in case you’re wondering on whose authority I presume to speak for all Christians, let me unequivocally state, “The Bible.” You see, the Bible teaches that we will be known by our love for all people.
