When I think about Elizabeth, the first thing that comes to mind is competency. She has a prodigious mind and a no-nonsense way of getting down to business. During interactions with her, I do not think I would ever make the mistake of underestimating her. Very little gets by her; she observes intently and listens closely. This is a gift. The larger impact of her actions (at that time) was to restore order to a situation that could have resulted in negative consequences for the church and for me personally. Any leader needs someone like that to turn to, and I was grateful she was there.
