Celebration of Life! Day 399

Psalm 145:13-17  Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations.  The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made.  The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.  The eyes of all, look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.  You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.  The LORD is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made.

The LORD is righteous and loves all the beautiful children that he has made.  This weekend I had the privilege of celebrating and honoring the life and faithfulness of an amazing women of God.  A celebration of life for Lisa K Kozak; after a 21 years of defying doctors prognosis about her cancer, Lisa was called home to live life eternal with Jesus.  Lisa`s small and delicate body  was finally overcome by cancer, however her faith in God and the power prayer extended her earthly life beyond  belief!  Diagnosed with breast cancer when her two children where very young Lisa`s desire was to live long enough to see them through school.  By the grace of God, faith and prayers, granddaughter Tatiyanna (6ish), sang, "In The Garden," in tribute to her grandmother.   There was not a dry eye in the room, Holy Spirit goosebumbs covered my entire body!

I first met Lisa through The Walk To Emmaus, I didn`t really know her, I just knew of her and the courage with which she battled cancer.  Several years ago when she served as lay director for a weekend, I recall thinking, this woman is so sick with cancer how could she possibly do the job required of her?  I am now convinced that her amazing strength and desire to please the LORD drove her beyond what most people could endure.   Philippians 4:13  I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.

Lisa was very active at Connections Community Church, that I am attending.  Several months ago, I joined a Friday night prayer group, I found myself praying right beside Lisa.  It had been several years since I had seen her, it was quite noticeable that her cancer had progressed. Despite her frail and pale stature her spirit and desire for praying was gigantic!  Selflessly she prayed, her true passion and ministry was prayer.

The day that she and her husband received the news that there was no more doctors could do and Hospice was the next step, Bruce drove Lisa to Boscov`s for a beauty makeover.  This outing produced the very photo to be used on her memorial bulletin.  What courage!   Pastors, Alan, Kari and Lori battled  tears as they delivered Lisa`s eulogy.  Much of the scriptures were highlighted and read from Lisa`s bible.  Kari, shared Lisa`s concern for "all to be prepared to meet Jesus."

 Jeremiah 29:11-14 For I know the plans I have for  you, "declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future,  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.  I will be found by you, "declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity.......John 14: 18-19  I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.  Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.  Because I live, you also will live.  Revelation 21:6-7  He said to me; "It is done, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.  To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.  He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

In true Emmaus style, the ceremony ended with all present, hand in hand singing "The LORD`S Prayer."  I left the service in silence, thinking what an amazing woman.

Even though I never got to personally know Lisa, I knew her very well.  I knew her spirit and her love for our savior JESUS CHRIST.  I thank God for the  life of such a faithful servant and prayer warrior!  I was so blessed, I prayed with Bruce at church the day before Lisa passed, thank you God for directing my steps to Connections Community Church.  What an incredible church family!  Blessing and peace, for husband Bruce, son John, daughter Lesley, granddaughter Tatiyanna and Lisa`s entire family and many beloved friends.   Amen

Escape To Jesus Day 398

Psalm 55:6-8  I said, "Oh, that I had wings of a dove!  I would fly away and be at rest---I would flee far away and stay in the desert; I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm.

My place of shelter, JESUS.  Perhaps with age has come wisdom, the wisdom to realize that it`s not about me, it`s all about JESUS.  Without Jesus I wondered aimlessly in a world of darkness, lies, bondage and strongholds.  What a blessing to have received what Jesus died on the cross for me to dwell within.  The forgiveness of sins.  Isaiah 9:6  For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and this government will be on his shoulders.  And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

  Have you received this free gift?  Have you invited Jesus into your heart?  Once I truly desired to know Jesus, God began the process of awakening,  healing and cleansing.  He supplied me with God-sent friends and a well equipped tool-box to get the job started.  Have you erected walls of protection to keep everyone out, even Jesus!  I did, but thanks to the Sozo Healing Ministry, the walls came crumbling down, allowing me to receive God`s blessings!

Ask yourself (the Holy Spirit within) the following questions:  Is there a wall I have used to protect myself?  Is it safe for the wall to comes down?  If "yes" ask Father God to send angels to protect you if the wall comes down.  Show me the wall.  Give me a tool to tear down the wall.  As you pray, tear down the wall.....What do you see now that the wall is gone?  If parts of the wall remains ask, "Who do I need to forgive?"   

Who do I need to forgive, my list was long and painful but God took it easy on me.......directing my from heaven above.  Knowing when I was prepared and healthy enough to forgive!  Indeed a process and long-term journey of healing!  There were ladders to climb and doors to close. 

THE FATHER LADDER, earthly family members representing your heavenly family.  Your earthly father representing FATHER GOD,---your BODY, identity, value, protection and provision.  JESUS, your relationship with siblings and friends, the SOUL--communication and companionship.  THE HOLY SPIRIT,---- your SPIRIT, fulfilled by your earthly mother----the comforter your teacher.   Was there a break somewhere in your family?  Like me, do you need to forgive family members?

THE FOUR DOORS, getting to the root of issues, discovering the door that will allows us to forgive and be released to finally close the doors behind us.   The door of FEAR---includes--worryy, unbelief, need to control, anxiety, isolation apathy, drugs and alcohol.  HATRED--bitterness, envy, gossiping, slander, anger, self-hatred(low self worth).   SEXUAL SIN---adultery, pornography, fornication, lewdness, molestation and rape.  OCCULT-WITCHCRAFT----astrology, fortune telling-tarot cards, seances-Ouija boards, manipulation, participation in covens, casting curses- witchcraft practices.  Oh yea, I had to close some doors!

Spiritual healing, inner healing and physical healing, I encourage you to pray to God and invite Him to begin the process!  Be patient, it takes time--- God`s time, but well worth the journey!  What you might expect to feel--- SYMPTOMS OF SPIRITUAL AWAKENING AND HEALING---- --an increased tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen----frequent attacks of smiling----feelings of being connected with others and nature----frequent overwhelming episodes of appreciation----a tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than from fear based on past experiences-----an unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment----a loss of interest to worry----a loss of interest in conflict-----a loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others---a loss of interest in judging others-----a loss of interest in judging self----gaining the ability to love without expecting anything.

Once restored and healed always healed, not really, but equipped and prepared for battle!  I just strap on my God-given tool belt.  Ephesians 6:10-14  Finally, be strong in the LORD and in his  mighty power.  Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil`s schemes.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  Therefore  put on the full armor of God, so that when then evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground........

Thank you Father God, for the years of love and Patience as you have walked with me, hand in hand,  navigating this broken vessel into a  journey of healing and  holiness!  I pray Father that you will open the hearts and souls of readers of  your  blog to receive  JESUS CHRIST!  LET THE HEALING SPREAD LIKE WILD FIRE, AMEN

Working For God Day 397

Matthew 16:24-25  The Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me..  For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.
In 2006 when I closed my Curves franchises, I remember the puzzled look on Rose`s face when she ask of me what was I going to do next.  Without hesitation I responded, "I`m going to work for God."  I must confess at the time I had no idea when, where, what or how! 

Six years later without formal schooling, I was recently hired by Marketplace Chaplains USA, as a part-time chaplain and member of their chaplain team.  If you are like me, you had no clue that such a company exist.  So how did I find out about their open position. God!  Well, for sure He has been answering prayer and directing my steps. Isaiah 25:1  O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago.

My friend, Debbie our administrative assistant at church, invited me to her home to join she and a friend for lunch and a time prayer.  Through out the past year Debbie and I have prayed together many times, mid-week in the privacy of the sanctuary at church.  Just the two of us, praising and praying to God, soaking in the presence of the LORD.

This time, my spirit filled friend felt the nudge to get her ordained friend Donna, a current chaplain at Marketplace, and I together.  She had no clue why,  just for a time of prayer.  After sharing a delightful lunch Donna and I started chatting.  Her job involved visiting work places and ministering to employees as a trained, experienced, dedicated care-giver.  I was amazed, that was the exact thing that God had me doing while I worked at my Little Debbie job.  That was the reason I started this blog, to share my experiences and to glorify God and His mighty works  Psalm 73:28  But as for me, it is good to be near God.  I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.

 Donna also shared that she was planning to leave her position at Marketplace, one thing lead to another.  I now have new part-time job.  God has placed me in a new and exciting position at Marketplace Chaplains, yes I get paid to share the "Good News and Pray."    I`m still in awe of my faithful God!

 In the past six years, God had truly taken me by the hand, healed, taught, restored, renewed, answered prayers and directed my steps.  What are his plans for me for the next six years, not sure!  Maybe some additional education, I`m only 61 years young.  He`s large and in charge, and I know his voice; I will continue in obedience with desire  for His divine guidance.

I`ve included parts of a Memorial Day message from Marketplace Chaplains, please visit website if you desire additional info.

Blessings and Peace, ROSE, I`M WORKING FOR GOD, AMEN!



Marketplace Chaplains USA's Rallying Cry
"CHAPLAINS CARING FOR WORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES"

May 2012

I was privileged to serve for more than 20 years as an Air Force Reserve Officer in readiness for being called to battle. The faces and names of so many with whom I served flood my mind on Memorial Day.

The battlefield is a stark reality and our troops in far distant lands are in danger moment by moment. We pray for their safety and safe return. You and I, here at home, see the front lines of another battlefield in our neighborhoods and communities and, perhaps, in our own families.

The evil one lurks at every turn, seeking to devour and destroy; drugs, depression, discord ... just look at the rate of divorce in our churches, and outside of them as well. Conflict - absolutely ... danger, for sure. Lives literally snuffed out with anger, hate, jealousy and disconnection that impact all of life going forward. We have often heard ... "we're still friends" and "we did it for the kids" ... that is not the reality.

You and I are on the front lines. You and I are setting examples in our family and the extended family of our client employees we visit daily. You and I are being watched ... do you know it; can you feel it

Our strength, presence and image comes not from us, but from Christ and Christ alone. When we are in His Word, when we are prayed up, when we are humbled by the reality of our representing HIM, when there is nothing more of us, then, it is Him, praise God. Those we serve must see that and, I want you to know, they do. The client owners are so grateful for your every expression of care in word and deed, and so am I. When I'm talking to company Presidents everywhere and they say "thank you, I just love my Chaplains," my buttons burst with thanksgiving.


We have built and continue to build our Marketplace Chaplain family with warriors ready to face battle - that's what you are doing, around the clock, moment by moment. I just heard a client owner telling another client owner in the same business that having a Marketplace Chaplain was the very best decision they had ever made. Did you hear that ... the very best decision, to have you by their side, in and through the battle of life. You and I are truly on the front lines and I thank you for your service. You are seeking out the wounded, binding them up and saving lives ... oh, we pray, that none might perish.

Did I tell you I am proud of you - well, I am. To God be all the Glory and Praise.
Press on; keep looking up.

Blessings.

Unbound Day 396

Last week I attended another healing seminar, this one is called "Unbound."  Neil Lozano and his wife travel extensively lecturing, teaching and applying their foundations of love for Jesus, as the requisite for all deliverance.  Deliverance what an intimidating word!  Not.  Deliverance is a good word.  It is taking hold of the full freedom God has given to you in His Kingdom.

Did I receive deliverance? Yes.  Did green bile flow from my mouth as my head spun out of control, of course not!  Deliverance is not exorcism, deliverance transfers us from one kingdom to another; from darkness to truth and light.  1 John 5:19  We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.  We know also that the son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true.  And we are in him who is true---even in his son Jesus Christ.  He is the true God and eternal life.

As I strive and pray to walk a life of holiness, God has begun and continues the tedious job of cleansing, restoring and renewing me to the fearfully and wonderfully made daughter that he created. This on going clean-up is proving to be a long and extensive process, but well worth the work.  Psalm 139:23-24  Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thought.  See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

The Unbound ministry teaches deliverance as understanding, "Five Keys," repent, forgive, renounce in the name of Jesus, take authority in the name of Jesus, and receive the Father`s blessing.  How simple is that?  Just imagine a treasure chest of riches yours for the taking, five keys open the chest and receive the riches. Freedom and deliverance.

 But what stands in the way; is it God given free-will that holds us captive in bondage to sin under Satan authority. Is it my will to stay in the stagnation of hurts, lies and strongholds or do I choose to make healing progress by walking in and through the pain and discomfort.  Bring on the Kleenex's Father God, I`m ready.  I choose to depart from the wilderness striving to reach the mountain top, receiving all that God has planned for me. Show me the face of Jesus!  Matthew 17:1-2  After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.  There he was tranformed before them.  His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.

Renounce--- to give up, especially by formal declaration, repudiate,disown; I am so done with this!  Renunciation breaks the power of our enemies, verbalizing the authority releases the stronghold of lies over us and breaks Satan's legal access over us.  Renunciation is part of our ongoing conversion.  After we make a personal decision to follow Christ, we must choose to become His disciple and be like Him by renouncing anything that does not belong to Christ.

In the name of Jesus, I renounce bitterness. In the name of Jesus I renounce hatred. In the name of Jesus, I renounce anger, rebellion, self-will, stubbornness, quarreling, control, retaliation, accusation, rejection, insecurity, jealousy, withdrawal, escape(biggy for addiction), depression, heaviness, fear, pride, doubt, lust, greed, compulsive behavior, guilt, the occult.....anything strike home?

Desire, another very important key. Desire to know the will and the ways of our Heavenly Father!  Psalm 37:4  Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of you heart.  Psalm 119:2  Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their hearts.  Proverb 13:12  Hope deferred makes a heart sick but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.  Isaiah 26:9  My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you.  When your judgments come upon earth, the people of the world learn righteousness. 1 John 2:15-17  Do not love the world or anything in the world.  if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For everything in the world---the craving of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--come not from the Father but from the world.  The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.   What is the desire of your heart?

Last night at another healing and prayer class that I `m taking, my friend Maria said to me, "you look good.....I mean from the inside out good, peaceful good!"  I responded, "I`m UNBOUND."

Father God, I thank you for the desire that I have for you, I thank you for the Unbound Ministry, I look forward to sharing what I`m learning for your glory.  Amen.

I Was, I Am, I Will Be Day 395

James 1:2-6  Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trails of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.  Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.  If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and will be given to him.  But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

I was a lost vessel, bobbing and weaving aimlessly in a sea of defeat destruction and bondage.  I now have a captain who is large and in charge!  I`m merely a passenger, as God navigates this fractured earthly container.  Thank you, Father God!  It wasn`t until I truly received Jesus Christ as my savior, that I surrendered the helm to His control and direction.

James 1:12  Blessed is the man who perseveres under trail, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

I was in bondage, a believer of lies decieved by the Satan and his band of ruling spirits.  Deuteronomy 11:16  Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods, and bow down to them.  I was an alcoholic, nurturing the addiction that allowed me to escape reality, pain and suffering.  I am celebrating six years of sobriety while walking in and through spiritual, physical and inner healing.

I was trapped in guilt, shame, insecurity, rejection and feeling unworthy, excising in a life of fear and doubts.  Ignorant to the truth.   Not any more, with perseverance and obedience to God`s will for my life, I have died from self---- striving and desiring holiness.  Ephesians 5:15-18  Be very careful, then how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are full of evil.  Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the LORD`S will is.  Do not get drunk on wine, which lead to debauchery.  Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

 I am God`s child.  I have been justified, (just as if I`ve never sinned).   I am united with the LORD and I am one spirit with Him.   I have been bought with a price.  I belong to God.  I have direct access to God through the Holy Spirit.

I am free forever from condemnation.   I  am free from any condemning charges against me.  I cannot be separated from the love of God.  I am confident that the good work that God has begun in me will be perfected.    I have not been given the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.  I can find grace and mercy in time of need.  So long Satan-----I am born of God and the evil one cannot touch me.

I am a branch of the true Vine, and channel of His life.  I have been chosen and appointed to bear fruit.   I am Christ`s personal witness.  I am God`s co-worker.  I am God`s workmanship.  I may approach God with freedom and confidence.  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

To function in the will of God: apply Biblical principles, seek wise council, know the Spirit man and live in peace!  Colossians 3:15-16  Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.  And be thankful.  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your heart to God.

I was, I am, I will be, thank you Father God!  I was unemployed, I now have a new job (tell you about it later) Have a blessed day!

James 4:7-10  Submit yourselves, then, to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  Come near to God and he will come near to you.  Wash your hands, you sinners and purify your hearts, you double-minded.  Grieve, mourn and wail.  Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.  HUMBLE yourselves before the LORD, and he will lift you up.

Thank your LORD, AMEN!

Stocking Shelves Day 394

Isaiah 55:6  Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.

Since I`m still unemployed, yes I looking for a job but the right job for this season of my life, I`ve been helping fellow distributors pack out shelves on weekends.   As independent distributors the only way they get a weekend off is to hire someone, like me, to replenish their product to the shelves on weekends.   Preforming this simplistic task often allows distributors a much needed break; preventing burn-out which was one of down-falls! 

This weekend I packed out for Thomas England/Arnold bread distributor, Josh at three of his stores.  Sure are a lots of different kinds of breads and muffins.   I remember when there was only white, rye and wheat; do we really need all of these choices or does it just add confusion to a simple task?  Too many choices and free-will, is that how we get into trouble?

One of the benefits of packing out, is that I get to see familiar faces and visit with friends from my distributor days.  I surely miss the people more than my Little Debbie job itself!  Saturday morning Dusty was the receiver of the day at Walmart, a single mother working hard to raise and support her children.  I immediately sensed that something was wrong with the usual smiling upbeat receiver. 

When I inquired she tired to conceal her pain, but it showed through.   She shared that she was just having some difficult times and consumed with worry.  Her sister`s wedding was coming up and anything that could go wrong was indeed going wrong.   I tried to assure her that worrying wasn`t the answered and that everything would work out.  As tears trickled down her face, she confessed that her 58 year old father was recently diagnosed with third stage cancer.  No doubt the true reason for pain and suffering.  She was consumed by fear.

Philippians 4:4-7  Rejoice in the LORD always, I will say it again: Rejoice!  Let your gentleness be evidentt to all.  The LORD is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Without reservation, she accepted my offer for prayer.  I gently hugged her as I softly whispered prayerful words of love, encouragement and faith in God.  She said that she has been praying and that perhaps for the first time in his life, her father is turning to the LORD.   Dusty thanked me, I assured her that I would continue to pray.

The next day when I returned to pack out, I found Dusty busy at her receiving duties.  I gently slipped two small wooden  pocket crosses into her hand; one for her and one for her father.   Again, tears peacefully flowed as she graciously accepted the gift.  In our times of pain and suffering holding on to Jesus is our strength.

Psalm 18:32-33  It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.  He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to standd on the heights.

Father God, I thank you for this special time to witness and minister to Dusty, seems that her shelves were empty too!  I pray that you will heal her father, but most importantly, draw him into an eternal relationship with you.  Open his eyes and soul to receive the precious gift of Jesus Christ.  Amen!

Blood Work - God`s Work Day 393




Colossians 4:2-6  Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.  And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.  Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.  Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.  Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Sometimes I am just blown away by our amazing God; how does he do what he does?  That`s simple he`s God,  I don`t have to understand, I just have to have faith and believe in his awesome power.  After a twelve hour fast I was off to get some routine blood work, nothing special!   A half a mile from the house I realized that I left the paperwork for the lab work laying on the kitchen counter.  U-turn. 

Once I checked in at Lab Corp, I peacefully enjoyed a magazine as I waited my turn.  Soon I was called with a lady named Kay to proceed to the next room.  As we waited side by side, Kay and I started to chat.  Within our three to four minute conversation, I learned that Kay was on short tern medical leave from her work from home job of fifteen years.  A job that consumes as much as 15 to 18 hour a day, often on international calls in the middle of the night.  

She shared family tragedies that had consumed family members with unforgiveness.  She has two children but also had several miscarriages and had buried an infant.  All of this while working diligently for her employer; rarely missing time from work.  

Granted she, her husband and children live in a beautiful show-place home, and by social standards were living the "American dream," the good life.  But, what was the price she and her family paid to live this existence.  She was breaking point, requiring medical attention and therapy.  I listened attentively with compassion. I asked if she had a good relationship with Jesus, "yes I do!"  As she was called to have her blood drawn, I introduced myself and told her that I would pray for her.

Kay exited the room and I moved on to give a urine specimen, sorry probably TMI.  I assumed I would not see Kay again but I would pray for her.  Minutes later I headed toward my car, driving a new shiny high-dollar vehicle, Kay was right in front of me.  Was this one of my favorite God-winks?  God, you want me to lay hands on her and pray with her right now!  Oh, yeah!

With a huge smile she was very receptive to my offer to pray, I told her of my connection with spiritual healing.  I encouraged her to slow down and smell the roses, life is not all about stuff and what we have.  Enjoy your children while they are young. She shared that these where the exact words she had recently heard from her therapist. She confessed she wasn`t sure why she had opened up to me; I was covered with Holy Spirit goosebumps, thank you God.

I prayed.  "Your name is Linda, right." Yes.  God will use us for his glory if we are obedient and willing!  Matthew 5:6  Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Father God, thank you for directing my steps and actions for your glory!  I pray that Kay and her family will spend time in your presence appreciating all non-material things you have given them.  Father God, if I had not forgotten my paperwork and returned home to get it, I would have missed Kay, guess that was no co-inky-dink.........You are awesome Father, God!  Amen.
