Got it.  Here is our budget online that can be downloaded on an excel
worksheet at:

http://www.thedickensfamily.org/family/budget.htm

I kept the numbers in it... We have nothing to hide except my own salary
(which is my total package).  But, sometimes seeing what others place in
where is helpful.  I know another church that I have used their
resources for just that reason.  It is my opinion that our missions are
too low and staffing is too high.  But here it is.
