Acronyms R Us

As a Church Business Administrator, I live in a world of acronyms. Are you ready for this...NACBA, CCA, SBCBAA, CCBA, SBBOC, ECFA, BLN, and CABC. At one point in my life I was a member of the NACBA, the President of the SBCBAA, and the General Chair for the SBBOC, all at one time! Can we say con-fused! It's enough to make you crazy and it can make you sound really weird when talking to someone that is not in this field.

If that is not enough, it also confuses my wife when she hears me speak of these things I am involved with. She does her best putting up with me in this and when I get around other administrators and we starts using all these acronyms, she makes faces at me like, really? So, we are with her friends and one of them asked her what I did for a living. Being proud of me as she is, she stated that I was the Associate Pastor of Administration at our church. If that did not impress them enough, her next statement surely did the trick. "Rick is also the president of the NBCAA! Bless her little heart!
