DO YOU KNOW OF A PLACE LIKE THIS?
When I was growing up, there was a sporting goods store in town known as Temple's. The stuff there wasn't the cheapest, but it was of high quality. That was its reputation. Later it was owned by friends of mine, Bill and Jo. Bill sent me this quote. "The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price."
The mantra of many stores these days is PRICE, PRICE. I'm looking for quality. Do you know of a place like Temple's? Jack

Just decided to weigh in on this one. I know a store like Temple's. Yasemeen and Paul own a party store in our community. They really know the meaning of the word "hospitality". Perhaps it is because their families are originally from Iraq and from that experience they know what it is like to be strangers in another land. Perhaps it is their Christian faith that shines through them as hospitality. Going to their store is going to a place where more than business transactions are taking place.
