Connie would like you to know that her work here is done. She received a call, a sort of an offer you can’t refuse, for an appointment from which she will not be returning. This assignment comes with a huge sign on bonus, A reunion with family and friends she has not seen in a long time. Her new mission takes her to a wonderful place where she will be dancing with Jesus with music, laughter, and love. Where the food is delicious and you never gain an ounce.
