I’ll admit it.  I resisted for a while.

We had a system for keeping track of reimbursements.  We wrote our ministry and medical mileage in a notebook we kept in the glove compartment and I put all our reimbursement receipts in a folder.  My husband would then use the folder every few months or so to submit a reimbursement.  We’d occasionally miss something that was older than the ninety-day limit.

Then, Mike started using the online reimbursement function on the Staff Web after it came out.  A year or so later, he asked if I would submit our reimbursements online.  Well, I didn’t want to change what we were doing and thought it would be “one more thing to do.”

Now, it’s my preferred way to submit reimbursements.   I’m actually the one who probably knows what needs reimbursing.  It was also logical for me to enter our expenses and mileage online soon after they occurred instead of trying to remember everything later.   We rarely go past the ninety-day limit any more.   Also, when ...

Anyone who cooks knows that it’s very helpful when recipes use universal language for measurements. While realizing that if you get a recipe from another country, translation will need to be made, a cook appreciates it when “t” means “teaspoon” and “T” means “tablespoon.” If one recipe reversed those two terms, or used something completely different, the result is highly affected. Clarity makes the difference between delicious and disastrous.

The same thing could be said for our communication within the ministry. In order for there to be clarity, and professionalism, we need to make sure our terms are consistent. This leaves a good taste in the mouths of the watching world.

In the journalistic universe, newspapers depend on the Associated Press (AP) Stylebook. It is constantly being updated with terms and names that are in use around the world. As technology changes, terms are added. When a volcano erupts in Iceland, all the writers know where to look for the accepted spelling of Eyjafjal...

Judy wants to encourage our women at Staff Training to take advantage of mentoring at CSU.  I explained our program in the previous post, but thought you might appreciate knowing who can help you  get started as a mentor or mentee.  I thought a picture of me would help if you see me on campus (minus the hardhat from a mine tour–ask me about it!)  I’d love to help you, so just introduce yourself and we’ll chat.

I’m Sus Schmitt, the webmaster of eQuipping for eMinistry.   I’m working with Judy to help you find and share easily-understood, transferable resources and best practices to assist you in your ministry through the use of technology.  (That mouthful is from my  mission statement.   I hope it helps you understand more what we hope to do through mentoring.)

Let us know if you’d like to be a mentor or mentee. I’ll connect you with someone asap. If you can’t phone or text, contact me at GlobalStaffWomen at gmail dot com​ or comment here.

You looked up directions to the restaurant where you have an appointment and you now want to send an email of the map to your disciple.

OR . . . You found a great article and photo and want to print just that part of the website to mail to your mother-in-law instead of the whole three pages.

Use Print Screen

If you want to make a copy of what is on your screen, take a screenshot.  If you insert it in a Word document and/or into an Outlook email, you could then use picture formatting to crop your image.  Or, play around with Alt+Print Screen, which will just take a screen shot of a window on your screen.  (Read more from Microsoft…)

I wonder if other keyboards around the world are not laid out in the same way.  You may have a “Print Screen” key in another location on your keyboard than I do.  If anyone knows about other keyboards, please comment here.

Vista users: read the comment from Curt.

Mac users: click here… and notice you will find more tutorials on the site, too.
