The shake-up, it was gathered, was to move staff to meet fresh challenges, bring their creativity to bear, break new grounds and eventually eliminate redundancy occasioned by monotonous work pattern. “I think it’s a normal process and procedure for a new boss to move staff around and put them where he feels they can function optimally once he studies the staff organogram.

Many today believe that God is the Creator, but it seems few understand His true characteristics. Sadly, many do not understand the greatness of God.
