[Magdalen] Prayer Request

[Lynn Ronkainen]

In my experience almost everything requires 'approval' with insurance over 
and above a visit to the doc.  And it's probably getting worse these days. 
Even more so if one is in a health care org like a PPO or HMO.  Layers of 
approval sometimes.

When my oldest daughter was severely depressed in college and we  had to 
bring her home for a semester, that needed approval to see a therapist AND 
the sessions were doled out 4 at a time, requiring approval for the next 4. 
I realized that if she had been a bit older and had to do all the 'required' 
stuff (a kind word), she might have taken her life for all the 'stuff' we 
had to go through.  Sigh.  Giving thanks that she got help and things 
improved and she returned to school for the next semester and is a healthy 
and happy 37 year old.

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
