Low water causes different but just as bad of problems.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I do not work for Ingram Barge anymore. I moved over to a new Ingram Division called Ingram Digital Group. It is part of their Ingram Content Companies which includes Ingram Book Group, Lightning Source (print on demand books), Ingram Periodicals, Ingram Publisher Services, and us. I am Director, Content Solutions.<BR/><BR/>I moved over last July to run their Oracle eBusiness Suite Implementation. We went live with that financial system early this year and I just moved into this new role. Ingram Digital Group distributes and manages eContent for Publishers.Tony Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497055762329338990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379368.post-72700046534770827962008-06-17T09:27:00.000-04:002008-06-17T09:27:00.000-04:00Off topic--Is the flooding up north affecting your...Off topic--Is the flooding up north affecting your job?JMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163521274652768781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379368.post-87391364401189269752008-06-11T17:40:00.000-04:002008-06-11T17:40:00.000-04:00JMG your comment reminds me of something Randy Har...JMG your comment reminds me of something Randy Harris said in a talk once. Being a minister, he does wear a cross around his neck, but he is aware that some may have negative impression when they see it and some positive. One day he was waiting for a flight in the airport and saw a young women obviously distressed about something, she was crying for a long period. He felt obligated to approach her to see if he could provide comfort. He said approaching her did not bother him, but his dilemma was did he approach her cross in, or cross out.<BR/><BR/>Randy is very funny.Tony Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497055762329338990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379368.post-12748934031137542662008-06-11T16:26:00.000-04:002008-06-11T16:26:00.000-04:00I decided to stop wearing cross jewelry not too lo...I decided to stop wearing cross jewelry not too long ago, but not because of the reasons you're talking about with Christian emblems on cars. One day I just suddenly got put off by the image of the ancient Roman torture device and I didn't want to wear the symbol of something that caused so much misery.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm just weird.JMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163521274652768781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379368.post-49714552890909521592008-06-10T22:14:00.000-04:002008-06-10T22:14:00.000-04:00I will not have any Christian signs on my car, bec...I will not have any Christian signs on my car, because I am a horrible driver.

I knew it already, but reflections on the hideous things Christians have done, either in the name of God or not, always makes me sad.<BR/><BR/>I know Christians don't hold a monopoly on this and probably as a whole do less evil (I would hope). But that does not matter. We are called to, claim, and profess a higher standard thus we have greater accountability.Tony Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497055762329338990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379368.post-46585457680451025792008-06-10T13:56:00.000-04:002008-06-10T13:56:00.000-04:00"Christian cheerleading outfits"LOL!
