Yeah, no, I think excellence is what we all are striving for, and excellence can bring that. How do you get mission fulfillment with economic sustainability? As a Christian, is there something wrong with making a lot of money? No, I don't think so. Okay. No, or you don't think so? No, no. Okay, I'm making sure. I know so. If you're going to be gray with me, I don't know. No, nothing wrong with it.

Nothing wrong with making money. Yeah. And in our case, we like to make more money because we give more money away. That's our motivating factor. We've not taken raises for 10 or 15 years now, you know, because God's done well for us. Don't feel sorry for me. There's nothing wrong with that. But what motivates us? Why do we put another store in? Why do we put 30 more stores?

That's just 30 more headaches that we're going to have. Because we love to give. We love to be generous. And we think if you do business with excellence, you can do business with excellence and you can make money. Yeah. God actually gave us work. Now, the fall may not work hard, but I think there's always been work. And so we get fulfillment in our work.

Yeah. Recently, I read a quote from Albert Einstein. He said he found the eighth great wonder of the world. I thought, what's the eighth great one in the world? You know, one of the smartest guy ever. And he said, compound interest. I'm going, compound interest. Yeah, it's very powerful.

If you take $1,000 and put it under a pillow and come back 40 years later, it's going to be worth a whole lot less than $1,000. All right? If you get simple interest, it's worth three times as much. If you get compound interest, it's like 15 times, you know? So compound interest is very powerful. I thought, wow. If he had met Jesus like I have, he would have said compound generosity. Hmm.

Because I believe compound generosity grows. So there's a lot of people that are holding their money. They're not doing stuff with it. I'm saying it's like putting it under the pillow. Put it to work. Because I do believe we're eternal beatings. I do believe. You know, you can't take it with you, but you can send it on ahead. So there are verses throughout the Bible that talks about God rewards.

Now, some people think it's here and now. I think, no, no, no, it's there and later. And I'd rather have it there and later. So I'm kicking as much stuff as I can to eternity. Because eternity is a whole lot longer than maybe the 100 years. Even if I lived to 100, I'd be lucky. But eternity is forever. So yeah, I'm encouraging people, store up your treasures on the other side.

Because yes, there's ROI, a business person, return on investment. But I realize it's eternal return on investment. So I want an EROI. What's going to matter 10,000 years from now?
