So I wasn't abducted by aliens...

...but my wife does liken it to me giving birth to a newborn.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that there was big news to share and then I dropped off the face of the earth. Well, it's because I was so busy with doing the project I didn't have time to blog about it.

So here goes.

I've started a new print service company.

The company I was with for ten years is closing down. There are various reasons for it that I don't need to go into here, but it gave me the opportunity to do something I've been thinking about for a long time.

I'm not hawking my wares here, so I'm not giving out the company info on Exultet, but my new company has teamed up with several print providers to allow us to offer high quality printing to our customers with great service and very competitive prices. We're keeping the overhead low so we can pass our savings on to our customers and we should be able to match or beat the local competition almost every time.

Not only do we do printing, but we also offer graphic design and layout services for those customers who don't have the capability to do that themselves.

In the near future, we will be teaming up with marketing professionals to offer digital services, email marketing, social network marketing, etc., for a whole package deal.

Needless to say, I've been busy building the foundation. Many of my customers have already moved over to the new company with few glitches.

That's where I've been the last few weeks. I hope to come back here from time to time and actually maintain the blog, but posts may be few and far between for a while.

In this economy, starting a new business offered much more potential than looking for a job elsewhere. Please pray for the success of this business on behalf of my family. Also, please pray for all those who are out of work and struggling to provide for their families. There are far too many people in that situation.

God bless.
